About this song
"Not By the Moon" is the title track of GOT7's 2020 mini album DYE. It follows the concepts of the group's two previous album cycles, with "Eclipse" representing the phases of the moon and "You Calling My Name" recalling Juliet calling for Romeo on the balcony.
What it's about
The lyrics borrow words from Juliet's line in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, where she asks Romeo not to swear by the changing moon. Using the homophone "dye" in place of "die," the song compares a lover to someone who added color to the singer's life, which now feels colorless after they have gone.
