November 20, 2025.

A very normal Sunday.

Dantae Wenger, 18 years old this year, just finished basketball with his friends at school and returned home in sweat.

In November, a cold and cold season, it is obviously a very comfortable thing to have a sweaty basketball game.

After returning to the warm home, he immediately rushed into the bathroom and prepared to take a shower to get rid of the smell of sweat on his body.

Just as he rushed into the bathroom, the mother who heard the noise came out of the kitchen and shouted to the bathroom: "Hey, Wenger, the Chinese band you are following has released a new song, do you know?"

Wenger's mother, who is only in her early forties, usually pays attention to the trends in the entertainment industry and plays very well with her smartphones, so she naturally has no generation gap with her son.

Besides, Wenger's mother has long been famous for the Chinese band that has made a lot of noise in the United States and has dominated the front page of the entertainment industry every day.

"What? New Song?" Wenger, who was pouring shower gel on her body, heard her mother's words, and shouted in confusion through the bathroom door: "Mom, are you talking about the new album of the band that is open?"

"I've known this a long time ago. "23" will be released in one week. I will definitely buy one at that time!"

"I like their band's songs so much. You really should listen to them. They're awesome!"

Who knew that Wenger's mother outside the bathroom shook her head: "No, it's their new song."

"I saw it while watching Twitter just now. The band's new song "Something Just Like This" was released this afternoon."

"Have you heard this song?"

"What?" Wenger was surprised that a little bit of a broken voice sounded in the bathroom, and then there was a "cross-grab" sound.

Covering the sudden news, he hit the hand of the toilet rack in surprise, Wenger exclaimed: "Mom, are you kidding, are you?"

"Little Wenger, is there any benefit for me to lie to you?" My mother's angry and funny voice came.

When playing basketball by yourself, the band will release new songs?

Wow, this is such a big surprise!

Wenger excitedly and happily accelerated the shower speed, hurriedly applied some shower gel on her body, washed it several times of water, and immediately put on her pants and ran out of the bathroom.

"Mom, let's listen to the new songs of the band that are open!"

"Believe me, this will definitely be a particularly good song!"

Wenger pulled his mother's hand and rushed back to his room, completely ignoring the helpless expression on his mother's face.

Pressing my mother on the computer chair, Wenger skillfully opened the Warner Records account on YouTube.

Sure enough, the MV that was just released one or two hours ago has appeared on the account page.

[The title song "Something Just Like This" premiered by the band's new album "23"!]

The short answer is to have no gimmicks or hot words titles, but it has only been released for two hours, but it has received millions of views.

The band itself is the biggest hot topic and there is no need for any other gimmicks!

I couldn't wait, Wenger immediately clicked on the MV.

A little boy wearing a "superhero" hood and a blue cloak appeared at the beginning of the MV.

It has a very Future Bass prelude and slowly flows out of the sound.

"Wow, Future Bass! The band is actually playing electronic music without closing?" Wenger murmured in surprise.

Future Bass, a music genre that has only emerged in the last decade.

This thing was born in 2006, but it has only become popular in recent years.

It belongs to EDM (electronic dance music), and is a branch of Bass Music.

In fact, when these electronic music styles, including future bass, first appeared, most musicians in the music circle sneered at it.

They feel that the cold and emotional sound quality of the electronic music synthesizer is difficult to resonate with.

But time tells it all.

Since around 2017, electronic music styles including future bass have gradually broken through countless prejudices and swept across countless people's playlists with sweeping momentum.

Even after 2020, various electronic music styles will be widely popular in the entire European and American music circles.

"Electronic music" has become a contemporary pop song from the previous niche music!

As for arrangements, songs like future bass are generally played with single notes played by bass, and combined with the use of synthesizers, creating a feeling of lightness and darkness, which is a melody that makes people beat their hearts.

This time, the band's new song "Something Just Like This", was just a prelude to use future bass, which made Wenger feel very touching.

He likes this melody!

After the short prelude ended, in the MV, the band appeared without closing. Ye Weiyang, who was standing on a high platform, picked up the microphone, and the warm and healing singing began to be revealed.

“I've been reading books of old”

(I have read ancient books)

“The legends and the myths”

(Those legends and myths)

“Achilles and his gold”

(Achilles and his trophy)

“Hercules and his gifts”

(Hercules and his talents)

The soothing and light singing voice, combined with Ye Weiyang's magnetic voice, immediately captured Wenger and his mother's soul.

Wenger's mother, who was originally just doting her son and holding her casual attitude, had a much more serious expression on her face, and she calmly listened to this special song.

“Spiderman's control”

(Spider-Man's control)

“And Batman with his fists”

(With Batman's Iron Fist)

“And clearly I don't see myself upon that list”

(Obviously I'm not here)

From the initial weak shot to the climax, Wenger and his mother could feel that a contagious force was sweeping their brains.

As a woman in her 40s, Wenger's mother is actually not interested in electronic music at all.

But to her surprise, she didn't feel bad at all about this song full of electronic music, but instead felt a vague feeling of wanting to listen more!

Maybe it's because Future Bass and rock mix are fresh?

Yes, Wenger and his mother have heard the rock flavor in the song.

The music style of Future Bass and rock is really avant-garde, at least enough to capture people's ears!

Ye Weiyang's singing continued. The child wearing a superhero costume appeared at the beginning of the MV made a "superman" action in the sky and was wandering around freely.

Neither Wenger nor his mother spoke another word, but just listened to the song quietly.

“She said, where'd you wanna go?”

(She said, where do you want to go?)

“How much you wanna risk?”

(How much risk can you take?)

“I'm not looking for somebody”

(I don't want it)

“With some superhuman gifts”

(Those superhuman talents)

“Some superhero”

(That kind of superhero)

“Some fairytale bliss”

(Those fairy tale-like blessings)

“Just something I can turn to”

(Just something I can do)

“Somebody I can kiss”

(Some people I can kiss)

“I want something just like this”

(I just want these!)

"Wow!" Wenger's mother couldn't help but exclaim.
