7 Up is a brand of a lemon-lime flavored non-caffeinated soft drink. The rights to the brand are held by Dr Pepper Snapple Group in the United States, and PepsiCo (or its licensees) in the rest of the world, including Puerto Rico, where the concentrate is manufactured at the Pepsi facility in Cidra. The 7 Up logo includes a red spot between the '7' and 'Up'; this red spot has been animated and used as a mascot for the brand as Cool Spot.
7 Up was created by Charles Leiper Grigg, who launched his St. Louis-based company The Howdy Corporation in 1920. Grigg came up with the formula for a lemon-lime soft drink in 1929. The product, originally named "Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda", was launched two weeks before the Wall Street Crash of 1929. It contained lithium citrate, a mood-stabilizing drug, until 1950. It was one of a number of patent medicine products popular in the late-19th and early-20th centuries.
Philip Morris bought 7 Up in 1978, and sold it in 1986, to a group led by the investment firm Hicks & Haas. 7 Up merged with Dr Pepper in 1988; Cadbury Schweppes bought the combined company in 1995. The Dr Pepper Snapple Group was spun off from Cadbury Schweppes in 2008.
Donna yoru mo ake ru kyou ga umare teyuku
No one mita kotonai brand new morning
Sotto namida fuite I will arui te iku
Kie nai negai wo utsusu ano silent sky
Tooku tatte tadori tsuke rebaii
Ikisaki ha jibun ga kime rukara
Brave kono mune niitsudemo
Ima hokore ruyouni
Just osore zuni iki teku
Yume dakewo shinji te
Donna sukima dattara you and I ume raretano
No more wakaranaikedo yes life goes on
Kitto kizutsu itemo we can doa wo akete te sorezoreno michi sagasu mou I
Won't cry
Sugi ta kioku itsuka kotae ninaru

Brave kinou yorimo takaku
Mottosono teno bashite
Just negai kanae teyuku
Yuru ginai kokoro de
Brave kono mune niitsudemo
Ima hokore ruyouni
Just furimuka zu iki teku
Yume dakewo mitsu mete
Brave kinou yorimo takaku
Mottosono teno bashite
Just negai kanae teyuku
