The lyrics, which depict the struggles and friendships of young people facing challenges—echoing the story set at a police academy—really hit home.
The music video drew attention for featuring what’s said to be the most difficult choreography in the group’s history, but the melody itself sits in a relatively low range, so many male singers may find it easy to sing.
