TXT's New Song ~Explicitly~ Captures Your Exact Feelings About 2020
Let's face it: Everybody is counting down the days until 2020 is over because this year definitely didn't turn out like anyone expected. Due to the coronavirus pandemic, people were forced to quarantine at home and stay apart from friends and family. Communicating online became the best way to stay in touch, but because it wasn't the same as physically being with someone, loneliness and isolation became a huge topic in music this year. 2020 was pretty much all about sad songs, and Avenue Beat's "F2020" was one of them. Now that there's days left until the new year begins, TXT is waving goodbye to 2020 by putting a new spin on the viral TikTok hit. TXT's "F2020" lyrics in English will surprise fans because it keeps the explicit lyrics intact.
So many artists like Twenty One Pilots, Avril Lavigne, and BTS took their experiences from the pandemic and turned them into hit songs. TXT also documented their thoughts on the frustrating year through their EP, Minisode1: Blue Hour. Their track "Ghosting" had fans feeling emotional because it perfectly described everyone's feelings about being away from loved ones. Meanwhile, in "We Lost The Summer," the guys long for the good days with friends. Their music video for the song brought their concept to life by taking fans on a dream sequence of what summer 2020 could have been. TXT's concept photos for their era also depicted how much people are relying on the internet more than ever these days to communicate with each other.
Now, TXT is giving fans the anthem they've been waiting for because their cover of Avenue Beat's "F2020" is relatable AF. All five members contributed to rewriting the Korean lyrics. In the first verse, the guys talk about their expectations for 2020 and how they didn't come to fruition. Then, in the chorus, TXT drops the f-bomb to explain their frustrations over wanting the year to be over with already. "Lowkey f*ck 2020/ For some reason, no matter what I do, feel lonely/ As if all time has stopped/ I just blankly blame the word," they sing.
They reveal one of the hardest parts of being in quarantine was being away from fans: "The postponed concert/ No matter how much we look around, the empty audience/ Our hearts that become distant without being able to say farewell are vacant/ Your voice that called us that we miss/ Where are you all?"
Check out their cover below.

Verse 1: Soobin, Beomgyu, Taehyun, & Yeonjun
December 31st, at that time
We were in each other's arms and said
'I hope only good things happen'
(3, 2, 1, Happy New Year!)
This year that we planned together
The promise that we'd meet for the next album as well, missed it
The fourth season has already come again
The postponed concert
No matter how much we look around, the empty audience
Our hearts that become distant without being able to say farewell are vacant
Your voice that called us that we miss
Where are you all?
Chorus: HueningKai, Taehyun, & Yeonjun
Lowkey f*ck 2020
For some reason, no matter what I do, feel lonely
As if all time has stopped
I just blankly blame the word
Lowkey f*ck 2020
The stages with the cheering disappeared
We have become used to it now
This tiny, tiny world with just the five of us
Please, lowkey f*ck 2020
Verse 2: Yeonjun
The weather that we lost, the damned life
We prayed a lot, why I can't get away
From the cursed never-ending pandemic
In the end, I wanna time leap
Below the stage nothing as if I'm enjoying myself, forcing it again
I smile but my world outside the screen is unhappy
Inside the face that lost expression, the smile that's hidden
Don't hide it anymore behind your mask
Chorus: Beomgyu & Taehyun
Lowkey f*ck 2020
For some reason, no matter what I do, feel lonely
As if all time has stopped
I just blankly blame the world
Lowkey f*ck 2020
The stages with the cheering disappeared
We have become used to it now
This tiny, tiny world with just the five of us
Please, lowkey f*ck 2020
Bridge: Yeonjun
Tomorrow, I want to life my head up as much as I can
Not at the ceiling but at the sky
I want to shout
'Everyone, you had it rough'
Chorus: HueningKai & Yeonjun
Goodbye 2020
I earnestly look forward to it
After I throw off the mask
The us that we will meet after a year
Goodbye 2020
In the midst of everything that's become distant
That you and I lost
We wait for us to find our normal life again
Please, goodbye 2020
