U is a song by South Korean boy group Stray Kids featuring singer-songwriter and rapper TABLO. It is the third track from their first SKZHOP HIPTAPE HOP.

Composition

“	It's a track that blends a fast-paced DnB beat with a melodic topline, creating a vibe that is both lyrical and emotionally stirring. The poignant lyrics, "No matter how long I wander trying to forget, I end up coming back to you," paired with Epik High's TABLO's feature, add even deeper emotional resonance to the song.	”
― Stray Kids' Comment

Lyrics

U fill up my mind 24/7 I stay up all night, I can't even rest U seem to be fine The way that you smile it's giving me a heartache 'cause I should be the one protecting it All I need is U, U, U 'n I in a verse to tune the skies When it's dark, I'll push the sun to rise and pull the moon aside I'ma do it do or die, dip my pen in pain to paint U better days My heart was in a cage, you let it go astray 눈물은 내 기억을 겨눠 지나온 그 순간이 피어 그때에서 지금 멈춰 있어 Going back to U No one else but U No one else but 한참을 잊어내려 헤매도 결국 Going back to U All I want is U 스쳐 가는 주마등 속 모든 장면엔 I'm with U (Now I miss U) 너 하나지만 난 전부를 잃은 거야 what should I do 표현이 안 돼 어떻게 말해도 여긴 나무 없는 숲 과거에 머무는 꿈 이건 사는 게 아냐 겨우 버티는 중 My life, my love is U I'm still into U baby All I want is 눈물은 내 기억을 겨눠 지나온 그 순간이 피어 그때에서 지금 멈춰 있어 Going back to 벗어날 수 없는 게임이지 눈 감아도 it's U 지겨운 분리 불안과 대인 기피 없어 내겐, 치유 나 그댈 매일 잊지, it ain't easy Baby I need U U to stay with me, stay with me Going back to U No one else but U No one else but 한참을 잊어내려 헤매도 결국 Going back to U All I want is U U know that I'd die, that I'd die for U U know that I'd die, that I'd die for U I would die without U

Trivia

• "U" was initially supposed to be on the ninth mini album ATE. It explains why TABLO's cameo in "MEGAVERSE" included the release date of ATE.
