[English]

All day long, a busy day that rushes by

Even my steps feel like they're not mine

The night is so beautiful, but I want to go home

I still haven't made any plans, but

I'm feeling high just like this

No plans, but what if I call someone?

What do you think about that?

What do you think about that, that?

The moon's calling us like crazy

What do you think about that?

What do you think about that, that?

Hey Mama! Right now, in this moment

Let's make this a night (Woo oh woo oh)

Just you and me (woo oh woo oh)

Hey Mama! A night without anything special

Let's make this a night (woo oh woo oh)

Just you and me (woo oh woo oh)

That's right (ooh whoo whoo)

Forget everything and gather here, that’s right (ooh whoo whoo)

Surprise me right now, that’s right (ooh whoo whoo)

Step into the night and look at the stars, that’s right (ooh whoo whoo)

Watch me jump into you right now, that’s right

Yo, no need to dress up all fancy

What’s wrong with stopping work and coming here?

Getting dressed in a hurry all night long

You’re already a class above everyone else

No matter what you wear, you’re hot

Making plans and all that, it’s obvious

There’s no time to relax, you know

The sun is setting earlier, oh

Right now, I want to see you so badly

What do you think about that?

What do you think about that, that?

I want to fly with this heat inside me

What do you think about that?

What do you think about that, that?

Hey Mama! Right now, in this moment

Let's make this a night (woo oh woo oh)

Just you and me (woo oh woo oh)

Hey Mama! A night without anything special

Let's make this a night (woo oh woo oh)

Just you and me (woo oh woo oh)

That's right (ooh whoo whoo)

Forget everything and gather here, that’s right (ooh whoo whoo)

Surprise me right now, that’s right (ooh whoo whoo)

Step into the night and look at the stars, that’s right (ooh whoo whoo)

Watch me jump into you right now, that’s right

Ah yeah, are you ready? (that’s right)

Everybody put your hands up

Now 1 2 3

Flip everything in our daily lives

(Flip everything, flip everything)

Every day is a party day

(It’s a party day, it’s a party day)

Turn the world upside down

All night until we fall down

Hey Mama! Everyone, get up now

Let's make a night (woo oh woo oh)

Just you and me (woo oh woo oh)

Hey Mama! A special night when we’re together

Let's make a night (woo oh woo oh)

Just you and me (woo oh woo oh)

That’s right (ooh whoo whoo)

Forget everything and gather here, that’s right (ooh whoo whoo)

Surprise me right now (let’s make a night, baby)

That’s right (ooh whoo whoo)

Step into the night and look at the stars, that’s right (ooh whoo whoo)

Look at the stars, oh oh

Watch me jump into you right now, that’s right

[Korean]

온종일 몰아친 너무 바쁜 일

걸음걸이까지 내 게 아닌데

밤이 너무 멋진걸 집에 가기엔

아직 계획한 건 아무것도 없지만

기분만큼은 high 지

별 약속 없는데 전화하면 좀 어때

What you think about that?

What you think about that, that?

저 달이 미치게 우릴 불러 대는데

What you think about that?

What you think about that, that?

Yo 때깔 나게 차려입을 필요 없어

일하다 말고 온 게 뭐가 어때

얼레벌레 차려입고 꾸미다 밤새

이미 넌 클라스가 다른 모태

넌 뭘 입어도 사실 hot해

계획 짜고 그래 봤자 뻔해

여유 부릴 틈이 없잖아

해가 짧아지고 있다고 oh

난 지금 이렇게 니가 보고 싶은데

What you think about that?

What you think about that, that?

이 열기 속을 난 함께 날고 싶은데

What you think about that?

What you think about that, that?
