People are saying that the Sing for You was dedicated for the members that left EXO. In the music video, members start to disappear one by one. Once they disappear you see the members all lonely, depressed and hurt. Ever since 3 members left EXO, the rest of the members had this constant fear and anxiety that others will leave too. It affected EXO so much to the point where there were internal struggles, fights, and depression that fans weren't able to see. Especially, when suho and chanyeol were fighting, you could see suho leaving but chanyeol begging him to stay and punching him to help him snap out of it. of course, as a leader, suho has to accept exo's awards, make speeches for the group and take care of the members, but most importantly, he has an enormous amount of responsibility to keep the whole group as one. he has to make sure everyone is happy and stop fights between the members. so when kris luhan and tao left the group, he started to feel "useless" and "failed" as a leader and wanted to give up; therefore, you can see that chanyeol is trying to tell suho that the members leaving the group was not his fault. you can see all the other members in emotional pain throughout the whole mv. also, i remember kris luhan and tao mentioned that they loved playing basketball so exo members would play together during their free time. sehun, the youngest member in the group, just watches over his hyungs fighting, struggling and lonely so he's in space trying to find the whale. the poem, "the astronaut's whale" explains their strong friendship (with ex-exo members). Even though the whale (ex-exo members) is great friends with the astronaut (exo), the whale is not happy because he is not "home." After the astronaut finds his home, the sea (China), for the whale, the whale is finally happy and the astronaut still cherishes his friendship with the whale. although the ex-exo members left Korea for China, they will still sing for each other and still be brothers

The way he said "Kai, senpai!" , really made my day

Some say that Sing For You was inspired by the story/poem about the astronaut and whale. It's about loneliness. But there could be a deeper meaning into it.

Some one say sing for you mv are telling someting , at last there's got a whale,the whale have a meaning W - Wu Yi Fan (Kris) H - Huang Zi Tao (Tao) A - And Luhan (Luhan) L - Leave E - EXO 😭😭😭😭😢😢😢😢

it's based on a poem called Astronaut's whale where a Whale in space realizes no matter how much beautiful space is,it feels like it belongs only at home aka sea but it still appreciates the memories it had together with the astronaut...in here,Kai is supposed to be the whale and Sehun the astronaut..Basically SM is showing us how much the members have to go through when someone leaves but no matter what,they patch up strong again👍 nice reaction though

I know you've heard the Astronaut Whale theory too many times which explain sing for you is a song dedicated to OT12, but that just ridiculous if you think about it because SM would not do such a thing & the moment this MV released was also a bad timing to do that too. I've collected many explanation & interpretation about the song from fellow Exo-L & I think this one matches the most with the MV also the message of the song itself. So basically kai is the main actor in here. He represent loneliness,depression,frustation,isolation & the feeling you holding back to confess to your love. That's why he's the first one to feel sad & depressed when the member start disappearing, he's also the one that "get hit" whenever suho & chanyeol get hit too, you can see closely from his dance. Snow,space & BW video enhanced more the loneliness feeling. The blanket represent his desire of feeling comfortable & not lonely anymore, so does the basketball & his running toward D.O car. Member disappearing is not because they are died, but thats how it seems when someone feels isolated & regretted( happen to D.O & chanyeol). In the end they just need to confess because its not really that bad. That's why there's no kai scene anymore after member start appearing again,suho & chanyeol end their fight,also sehun & the whale finally "have someone to befriend with" because all of them are feeling happy & there's no depression & isolation anymore(kai disappearing). FYI its highly probable that sehun represent Michael collins, USA astronaut who spend "loneliest & longest of 48 minutes of mankind" while the whale represent Alice, an unidentified species of whale who can only emit 52 hertz, a frequency that can't be heard/understand by other whale, that's why its the only one of its kind. Together, these two also added more the loneliness feeling in the MV. This go along with the message of the song that you've to stop holding back your feeling because if you did, you're the one that gonna suffer(feeling sad,lonely,depressed). You just need to confess to someone you love, at least to make you feel better from releasing your deepest feeling. Hope this help!

(I cannot. This track made me feel like crying and something tugging at my heart. Beautiful and vulnerable) The lyrics of EXO’s winter ballad, “Sing For You,” describes someone who has regrets towards the person that they love and expresses the desire to sing a confession song for that person. But the music video, an entirely black and white production, initially shows EXO’s members enjoying their winter days and then hints to the darker feelings that people repress under their surface. The music video depicts literal loneliness, anger, and misunderstanding through the actions of EXO’s members, some fighting, some disappearing etc. And Sehun explores space as a lonely astronaut who meets a solitary, 52-hertz whale. This isn’t a case of possibly misunderstanding the music video plot; the 52-hertz whale is a symbol of loneliness and the wintery scenes likely hint to depression, particularly seasonal depression, a condition that affects millions of people. The video ends with EXO’s members coming together and Sehun befriending the whale, showing that loneliness can be beaten with the help of others. EXO have offered inspiration in the face of estrangement (EXO- Find others who understand you), and that’s all good and dandy but there is something deeper behind these two songs than just the normal K-pop/hip hop ballads. South Korea, the country that makes bubble-gum K-pop for all of us to enjoy, is one of the most depressed countries in the world. It has the highest suicide rate by country, with 24.7 people out of 100,000 committing suicide each year according to the Washington Post. According to the OECD Better Life Index, South Korea has the lowest ranking community support in the world, with only 72% of South Koreans feeling that they have people to turn to in times of need. Additionally, South Korea’s work-to-life ratio is lower than that of many other countries. By offering up inspirational tracks in the dark of the winter, EXO offer their own sort of 52-hertz whale to their fans. “Sing For You” feature aspects of loneliness, offering understanding to K-pop fans, both Korean and otherwise, who need support in the lonely world. Because it breaks the illusion of what it means to be an idol, and EXO is arguably one of the most popular male K-pop idol group in the world today, depression has been taboo to the group (despite former members leaving and others visibly struggling through performances). But throughout the music video for “Sing For You,” EXO depicts the sort of inner turmoil that isn’t about the love-related lyrics of the song, and instead depict the struggles that go along with the world that they (and the rest of us) live in. “Sing For You” is the opposite of an upbeat anthem; the music video shows suffering and loneliness in a way that just doesn’t let viewers ignore it. The 52-hertz whale may be alone, but he’s also a symbol of hope, of resilience, when feeling alone. By bringing out their inner whales and depicting loneliness that is on par with that of the 52-hertz whale, EXO not only helps their audiences understand that each individual isn’t the only one struggling in this world with loneliness, but also helps people relate more to the very human K-pop artists.

to let you know who doesn't know it...its about that 3 members who left...galaxy with that whale means Kris because he loved galaxy...basketball means Luhan because he liked playing basketball with members ...and chanyeol's and suho's fight means Tao....that time where baekhyun was sitting in bar with members ..and they then suddenly dissappeared it means that they lost them and baekhyun made us to feel what members felt when they lost Luhan Kris and Tao...

Ah, I hope so much the MV of Lightsaber is extended 😂. The duration is too short to show their coolness. I am not satisfied with their appearance in this MV. Blame them who are too cool and are amazingly charming 😂. But, also no problem. Sometimes, something good comes and goes short short. And ... Sing For You. Ah, I don't say anything every listen that song. The ballad song of EXO always make me really really get feel. :"( #LifeEX♡
