PENTAGON's new song 'Coward' lyrics contain fans' blue lightsticks and stage fright

The group PENTAGON has captured their gratitude toward fans and the fears they felt on stage in the past within the lyrics of their new song 'Coward'. In a video released on the YouTube channel 'Jaurim-ssi-oe 2-myeong' on September 18, 2026, the members of PENTAGON visited 'Goksori', a live club operated by the band Jaurim, as part of their 10th-anniversary project, to convey the meaning contained in their new song.

"The moment blue lightsticks were waving in waves"... Memories contained in the new song's lyrics

In the video, the members explained the background behind the line "The blue you drew was my everything" from the lyrics of the new song 'Coward'. A member stated that the lyrics were written based on memories from a past fan meeting. They mentioned a moment when they felt fear standing before the public, recalling the scene where fans' blue lightsticks were waving in waves from the far left to the far right of their field of vision viewed from behind the concert hall's LED.

The member explained that the moment was one of the most memorable in their life, adding an anecdote that they cried so much at the time that they could not immediately sing the first song, which was the intro stage. They shared that they intended to intensively capture these experiences and emotions in 'Coward', their 10th-anniversary song.

The conversation continued regarding their musical color. In the video, an explanation was given that a key point is that the ego appearing in PENTAGON's music gives a somewhat humble feeling rather than a cool and stylish image. This is because various emotions are contained in the music, such as the concern over whether people who listened to their past music will still like them now, and the unconscious fear felt amidst changing trends.

Meanwhile, a member mentioned the situation where they were misunderstood as disbanding due to articles related to contract renewal. The member explained that they had confirmed from the time they joined the company that it was not a disbandment, and when they gathered again to proceed with the contract, they expressed the will to maintain the team by saying, "You must definitely allow this, I will sign the contract."

The video contains a scene where the members perform a verse of the new song 'Coward' live. In the following conversation, the members emphasized that PENTAGON will become a team that produces a better scent and taste as time passes and they age, sharing sentiments that they are proud of the team's bond as people who make music.
