“Given-Taken” is a song partially based on a vampiric theme, with applicable references being made in the lyrics. But beyond that, the lyrics are meant to express ENHYPEN’s (Jay, Ni-Ki, Jake, Heeseung, Park Sunghoon, Jungwon and Sunoo) feelings in relation to their newfound stardom. And in that regard they do come off similar to their well-known contemporaries, BTS. For instance, there is this subtheme of the singer(s) having sort of a personal relationship with the addressee, i.e. the audience. Moreover, the idea of the vocalist being willing to follow his dreams, despite the risk factor involved, is present. In fact such seems to be the general notion upon which the entire song is based. The singer is on the cusp of ‘stepping into the sky’, i.e. pursue true freedom, “given or taken”, as in all or nothing.
