SOMEDAY Lyrics – NCT WISH | from “WISHLIST”

NCT WISH is spinning dreams into reality with their first Japanese mini-album WISHLIST, landing January 14, 2026, through avex and SM Entertainment, and SOMEDAY already whispers like that quiet promise you make to yourself on New Year’s Eve.

Tucked in as track five on this seven-song set, SOMEDAY leans into NCT WISH’s signature blend of bubbly pop and heartfelt introspection. Picture crisp electro-pop beats laced with shimmering synths and a touch of R&B smoothness—think 128 BPM grooves that build from soft verses to an anthemic chorus, all arranged by the UK production duo LDN Noise. The creative direction here feels like a nod to fleeting youth: themes of longing for a brighter tomorrow, chasing unspoken wishes amid everyday chaos.

With Japanese lyricist Yui Kimura on board alongside Western hitmakers Hayden Chapman, Greg Bonnick, Jordan Shaw, and Colin Mags handling both writing and composition, it’s got that cross-cultural polish—verses that tug at your heart in multiple languages, evoking the ache of “someday we’ll get there” without ever feeling heavy.

WISHLIST itself is a fresh chapter for the group, channeling their “wish” motif into a vibrant Japan-exclusive release that mixes upbeat dance tracks with dreamy ballads. The concept? A wishlist of aspirations, from playful crushes to bold futures, wrapped in the glossy production SM’s known for but tuned for J-pop ears. The full tracklist rolls out like this: 1. Hello Mellow (title track), 2. ZONE, 3. BUBBLE GUM, 4. Dreamcatcher, 5. SOMEDAY, 6. Good Morning, and 7. poppop (Japanese Ver.). It’s got that cohesive flow, kicking off with mellow vibes before ramping up the energy. Fans can pre-save it on Spotify for the full tracklist and instant updates when it drops—no missing those midnight release alerts.

Since bursting onto the scene in February 2024 as NCT’s youngest unit, these six Tokyo-based talents—Sion, Riku, Yushi, Jaehee, Ryo, and Sakuya—have been all about that wide-eyed global appeal, blending K-pop precision with Japanese subtlety. WISHLIST marks their bold pivot deeper into Japan, evolving from debut singles like WISH into something more personal, like they’re scripting their own comeback story one track at a time.
