As you probably noticed, "Good & Great" is the beginning of a new music style and concept for Key. This song, and the whole Good & Great album, is so perfectly Key. It never fails, no matter what he does, it always feels like it was meant for him. "Good and Great" is the title track from his newest album, and including his Japanese album and repackages, this is his 6th solo album. How I interpret the "Good & Great" lyrics and MV is that Key is experiencing the monotony of life as an average person who spendings every day doing the same things. Like most people, to keep motivated he keeps telling himself, "I'm good, I'm great ..." I should be grateful because I have a job and I'm getting paid. But as we see in the MV, life is a never-ending loop like a character in a game or the robotic life of an office worker. We see him smiling, looking happy as he tells himself that "I'm good, I'm great," but everyone he is interacting with just keeps nodding along until their heads fall off, representing how they are not really being fully engaged in the conversation or whatever task they are trying to complete, etc. Day in and day out life is always the same, we just keep going through our tasks, trying to get ahead, with little to no recognition from anyone except ourselves. Which is why we see in the choreography that he pats himself on the head, because the only encouragement he gets is from himself. The cute fuzzy red, pink, purple and blue monsters you see in the MV, which are called BOK-SILLee, have sort of become Key's mascot, ever since they were first introduced as part of his Gasoline album merchandise and concept. (You can actually purchase those monsters as little stuffed toys.) In the end of the MV, you see Key dressed like a BOK-SILLee as he tries to break free from the boring life of the working class. Yet again, everything from his outfits to the backup dancers looks, to the set designs and story concept, as well as the song lyrics, and the whole album was designed or chosen by him. Key is involved in the entire creative process when it comes to his solo work and everything you see and hear is what he envisioned for this entire album concept. Every aspect is all part of his design. He always puts things that represent him in his MVs, such as his love of The Sims, etc.
As a working class, this is really relatable. Thats why i like KEY, because how genius he is & all his work. Especially "The Sim" transition scene, i like it. 🗝️👑❤ I also like when they gave him a round of applause like, "Congratulations, you managed to wake up to fight again this morning!" 😄😄 Its just such an encouraging song for work. Remember y'all, u r already doing GOOD & GREAT. Hang in there my fellow workers! 💪👏👏👏 #KEY #Kpop #KimKibum
