[English]

Let's say hello

Self

Dive into IVE, hello, we are IVE

Yes, it's my first time on THE FIRST TAKE

IVE is here on THE FIRST TAKE

Yeah!

Shall we start?

Yes

Yep, music, start

Who knows, maybe my heart

Will change like the weather

Even I can't fully know

So what does it matter?

It's important that right now, I am completely

Totally hooked on you

It might all feel like a dream, but it’s definitely not

This is love I can’t quite explain

Don’t doubt the feelings I just described

It’s not just that I like it, what’s after 'LIKE'?

You and I

It’s more than ’LIKE’

L, then O, then I, yeah

You and I

It’s more than ’LIKE’

What’s after 'LIKE'?

What’s after 'LIKE'?

Be careful, these two hearts are blooming

This bright blue flame

Will burn hotter than the sun

I go up and down again

My graph’s pretty wild

Yeah, that’s me

Don’t ask repeatedly, two, three times, it’s tiring

Do you know what my strength is? Honestly, it’s being sincere

Don’t doubt the feelings I just described

It’s not just that I like it, what’s after 'LIKE'?

You and I

It’s more than ’LIKE’

L, then O, then I, yeah

You and I

It’s more than ’LIKE’

What’s after 'LIKE'?

What’s after like? It’s a strike in my heart

The thrill I feel now is like Tike

After LO, there’s I, then VE

This is your space, my space — no one can block us

When you see me, blink

Even time would feel like a waste

Finally meeting, I’m glad

Love, about to be exchanged

You and I

It’s more than ’LIKE’

E, then V, then I, yeah

You and I

It’s more than ’LIKE’

What’s after 'LIKE'?

You and I

It’s more than ’LIKE’

L, then O, then I, yeah

You and I

It’s more than ’LIKE’

What’s after 'LIKE'?

What’s after 'LIKE'?

지금 네게 완전히

푹 빠졌단 게 중요한 거지

아마 꿈만 같겠지만 분명 꿈이 아니야

내 그래프는 폭이 커

Yeah that's me

두 번 세 번 피곤하게 자꾸 질문하지 마

내 장점이 뭔지 알아? 바로 솔직한 거야
