Where most love songs often revolve around possession or heartbreak, Beomgyu’s Take My Half is more about making space for someone else. It’s not about what you expect to get from someone, but what you’re willing to give up to make another person happy.
Released as the final solo track from TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s (TXT) The Star Chapter: TOGETHER, Beomgyu’s self-written and produced track is a mature reflection on generosity.
What Does It Mean to Share Yourself With Someone?
Take My Half is soft-spoken but weighty. Musically, it’s an emotional rock ballad, grounded by acoustic textures that match the song’s reflective tone. The lyrics speak from the heart of someone ready to let go of selfishness. Not out of obligation, but because they’ve learned that true connection begins where ego ends.
“The more I have, the emptier I feel
When I faced what was in my heart
Now, even the smallest things
I’ll save half of them for you, take my hand
I feel like I’ve finally grown, even if it’s just a little
You can take my half
I won’t be confused about what I really want anymore”
Lines like these suggest a love rooted in empathy and partnership. It’s about the decision to carry someone’s burdens, to carve out space in your life for someone else to exist fully.
The Music Video as a Visual Metaphor
The video for Take My Half opens with Beomgyu alone in a tent, the vibe is calm but undeniably empty. He finds a small wooden box outside the tent and places it inside a tiny camper home labeled “Storage”.
As time passes, more boxes appear, the seasons change, but the solitude remains. Eventually, the world around him literally split in two. One half is cracked, dark, and broken while the other is warm and bright.
This duality highlights how even when your world feels broken, you can still preserve what’s good and save it for someone else. It may look like Beomgyu is sharing his pain but he’s actually keeping it separate so that the other person is happy.
Togetherness as a Core Value
Take My Half is the final piece in a puzzle that makes up The Star Chapter: TOGETHER. Each member’s solo song explores a different facet of what it means to connect with others.
Beomgyu’s song brings it home with a reflection on emotional maturity. For him, healing and love comes from opening up to others. Giving up half isn’t about sacrifice, it’s about readiness. He’s making room for another, literally and figuratively, and he gets to grow into a better person in the process.
