Never Let Go Lyrics – LNGSHOT | from “SHOT CALLERS”

LNGSHOT whispers promises into the void with “Never Let Go,” a tender trap of romance where heartbreak hums like a distant bassline—intimate, inescapable, and utterly alive.

Diving deeper, the song weaves themes of longing and loss through a sleek R&B-infused pop lens, its mood a cocktail of melancholy and quiet defiance that lingers long after the fade-out. Picture sparse piano ripples giving way to layered vocals, courtesy of in-house producers like Woojin and RYUL from the group itself, alongside Louis Lim, Mehti, OHYUL, and Eric Minz. It’s polished yet personal, with Korean verses adding that cultural depth that sets K-pop apart—evoking the quiet storm of nights spent scrolling through old texts, toasting to what-ifs over empty glasses.

SHOT CALLERS arrives as LNGSHOT’s bold debut statement, a five-track EP clocking in at just over 15 minutes but packing the punch of a full-length confession. Under Jay Park’s MORE VISION label, the project channels the group’s vision of reclaiming K-pop’s romantic soul—think less idol gloss, more genuine grit. The title nods to their underdog ethos, a “long shot” at stardom where they call their own shots, from songwriting to visuals. Released today via Kakao Entertainment, it’s already streaming on Spotify, with pre-orders spiking for physical editions boasting photobooks and character-themed posters that tease each member’s vibe.

This isn’t just a debut; it’s LNGSHOT’s origin story unfolding in real time. Formed from Jay Park’s keen eye at a university festival last fall, the group—Ohyul, RYUL, Woojin, and Louis—built hype with their pre-debut mixtape 4SHOBOIZ in November, blending hip-hop edges with soulful melodies. Born between 2002 and 2006, these odd-month oddballs bring fresh energy: Ohyul’s steady leadership anchors the harmonies, RYUL’s sharp raps cut through the emotion, Woojin’s dance-floor flair infuses the beats, and Louis’s smooth tones seal the intimacy. “Never Let Go” marks their growth from trainees to trailblazers, experimenting with self-produced tracks that prioritize feels over formulas—proving why Park sees them as the antidote to K-pop’s recent chill.

In a discography just beginning, this cut stands as their emotional cornerstone, a bridge between the mixtape’s raw demos and future anthems. It matters because it dares to slow down in a genre racing toward spectacle, reminding us that the best shots are the ones fired from the heart. As buzz builds—expect music show debuts and fan meets to follow—this EP positions LNGSHOT not as rookies, but as the next voice whispering truths we didn’t know we needed.
