Thanks to everyone

The lyrics, which convey gratitude to everything that supports you and a wish for an unchanging relationship going forward, will likely make many people picture the faces of those they want to send the same feelings to.

The lyrical content is very simple so that the word “thank you” comes across clearly, and that simplicity, I feel, further highlights the words of gratitude.

This song is included on their major-label 3rd album, “HAPPY RETENTION,” released in September 2025.

It’s a perfect song for those who want to express the feeling, “No matter what happens, thanks to you I can stay strong and well.”
