SEVENTEEN members Joshua, Dino, and Vernon have recently released solo tracks, generating significant discussion among fans and bloggers about the deeper meanings embedded in their lyrics. These releases highlight individual artistic expressions within the group, with themes ranging from unwavering support to personal declarations and farewells.
Joshua's "Baby Come Home" interprets "Home" not as a place to return to, but as a promise of constant support, co-written and co-composed by Joshua, featuring a duet with Taiwanese singer-songwriter WeiBird in its Chinese version. Dino's "LIKE IT," part of his 'Gilboard' album, was released on August 3, 2026, with the music video following on August 24, 2026; its lyrics, co-written and co-composed by Dino, express his dedication to performing for those who support him, deemed suitable for all ages. Vernon's "I'll Be Back," released on August 20, 2026, is a special single marking his temporary departure for military service, having been previously showcased at a V8 unit concert in July 2026.
Bloggers noted Joshua's clear and soft vocals in "Baby Come Home" perfectly convey the warm, comforting image of 'Home' through acoustic sounds. For Dino's "LIKE IT," the title's meaning is interpreted as Dino asking if listeners appreciate his music, dance, and stage performance, encompassing his entire artistry. Vernon's "I'll Be Back" is understood as a direct message of his intent to return after fulfilling his military duty, resonating deeply with fans anticipating his comeback.
