Relevant songs because why not! 周末快乐～～～

🎵 要一起 and 你要跳舞吗 (both 深深 performances, 当然)

🎵 和你一样 (aka prime graduation ceremony song material)

Also, I'm like 95% sure we've had some discussion about 要 here before… the variation in meaning is much narrower than certain other words, definitely XD

Literally a 深深 song for every occasion! He always looks so happy <3 Also I think that's the first time I've heard 李宇春 sing, what a gorgeous middle range.
(We've definitely talked about 要 some before, I figure review is always good. I think the hardest thing about 要 is that want/need/will depends so much on context, not grammar...)
