Lyrics & Translation

[English]

STAYC girls it’s going down

I'm on my way Who cares? Too real

Don't play just feel Don't care what others think, too chill

I'm grounded still with my ego bed

No right answers every day is iffy iffy

The stares, turn it off My standards are cool like that

I don't do ordinary You basic? I snap like that

Not made pretty Make it shine, go up pop it

I just keep it real Know what I mean?

No need to try too hard Everything'll be fine

Good thing's we ok I WANT IT

Whatever, just go for it

Good thing's we ok

I WANT IT (Love me)

I WANT IT (Lo love me) I WANT IT

Good thing’s we ok

I WANT IT (Love me)

I WANT IT (Lo love me) I WANT IT

Good thing’s we ok

I WANT IT

I don't try to look pretty anymore No filter, so raw me

My mentality is diamond, unbreakable My flaws are my weapon

I don't care I don't mind Break the Rules Be you Let go

Forget what others think

The stares, turn it off My standards are cool like that

I don't do ordinary You basic? I snap like that

Not made pretty Make it shine, go up pop it

I just keep it real Know what I mean?

No need to try too hard Everything'll be fine

Good thing’s we ok I WANT IT

Whatever, just go for it

Good thing’s we ok

I WANT IT (Love me)

I WANT IT (Lo love me) I WANT IT

Good thing’s we ok

I WANT IT (Love me)

I WANT IT (Lo love me) I WANT IT

Good thing’s we ok

Good thing’s we ok

No more singing same love songs, better for my life

No big deal, just laugh it off free vibe

Cool on the outside Fire in my heart, Hold

burning alive

No need to try too hard Everything'll be fine

Good thing’s we ok I WANT IT

Whatever, just go for it

Good thing's we ok

I WANT IT (Love me)

I WANT IT (Lo love me) I WANT IT

Good thing’s we ok

I WANT IT (Love me)

I WANT IT (Lo love me) I WANT IT

Good thing’s we ok

I WANT IT

You can do it keep going go anyway

Good thing's, we ok

Key Grammar Structures

• Don't play just feel

  ➔ Imperative (Negative and Affirmative)

  ➔ Imperatives are used to give commands or instructions. They often omit the subject 'you'. "Don't" is used for negative commands, while the base form of the verb is used for affirmative ones.

• No right answers

  ➔ Determiner "No" for Negation

  ➔ "No" as a determiner is placed before a noun ("answers") to indicate the complete absence of something. It means "not any" and creates a strong negative statement.

• turn it off

  ➔ Phrasal Verb (Separable)

  ➔ "Turn off" is a separable phrasal verb, meaning a direct object pronoun ("it") must be placed between the verb ("turn") and the particle ("off"). It means to switch off or stop something.

• Not made pretty

  ➔ Past Participle as Adjective / Shortened Passive

  ➔ The past participle "made" functions here as an adjective, describing the state of an implied subject (e.g., 'I am not made pretty'). It's a common shortened passive construction, often used in informal contexts.

• No need to try too hard

  ➔ "No need to" structure (Lack of Necessity)

  ➔ The structure "no need to" expresses that something is not necessary or that there is no obligation to do it. It's an informal way of saying "it is not necessary to".

• Everything'll be fine

  ➔ Future Simple with Contraction ('ll)

  ➔ The Future Simple tense with the contraction "'ll" (from "will") is used to express predictions, spontaneous decisions, or promises about the future. It's common in conversational English.

• Good thing's we ok

  ➔ Informal Contraction / Ellipsis ("Good thing is")

  ➔ This is an informal contraction of "Good thing is", where the verb "is" is shortened to "'s". The conjunction "that" is also implicitly omitted, which is common in casual speech.

• Forget what others think

  ➔ Imperative with Embedded Noun Clause (Indirect Question)

  ➔ This combines an imperative verb ("Forget") with an embedded noun clause ("what others think"), which functions as the object of the verb. The noun clause itself is an indirect question.

• I don't try to look pretty anymore

  ➔ "anymore" with Negation (Cessation)

  ➔ "Anymore" (or "any more") is used with negative verbs to indicate that an action or state that was previously true is no longer true, meaning it has ceased.

• burning alive

  ➔ Present Participle as Adjective/Adverb

  ➔ The present participle "burning" acts here as an adjective describing the state of "fire" or implicitly the subject's feeling, intensified by the adverb "alive", creating a vivid image.
