[English]

I heard that beauty is the secret code of the Earth.

I heard that beauty rules the world.

Who’s about to send me flowers?

Who’s about to bring me a hot cup of tea?

Quick, snap a photo of that trendy ride.

Today, let’s wear those high heels, shall we?

How about a French manicure? Looks good.

Touch up your eyeshadow, like a sunset glow.

I want to make every one of my ideas come to life with romance.

The colors on the street decorate my every day.

From Brussels to Seoul, I step out shining bright.

Gyeongbokgung Palace is right on the parade route.

Never pausing for a moment—dare to kiss me?

Never stopping for a second.

If you want to hold on to me, stay focused and tight.

I flash by with confidence—the spotlight’s a battle refused.

Always brewing something captivating.

Making excuses to capture my true self.

Maybe tonight, we’ll just pass by each other.

In a blink, you’re gone from my sight.

I want to make every idea I have come true with romance.

Hoping that my dreams can be reflected in each day.

From Brussels to Seoul, I step out shining bright.

The magic of light stirs who’s meant to meet me.

Never pausing for a moment—dare to kiss me?

Never stopping for a second.

If you want to hold on to me, stay focused and tight.

I flash by with confidence—the spotlight’s a battle refused.

Break it down.

Uh uh uh oh yeah, give it to me.

Never pausing for a moment—dare to kiss me?

Never stopping for a second.

If you want to hold on to me, stay focused and tight.

I flash by with confidence—the spotlight’s a battle refused.

[Chinese]

聽說美麗是地球密碼

聽說美麗一統天下

哪個快將給我送花

哪個要端給我熱茶

快快拍下具話題座駕

影影今天的高踭吧

掃掃法式指甲好嗎

照照眼影一抹落霞

我要我每個想法浪漫地實現

路上色調裝飾了我每一天

布魯塞爾去到首爾亮麗地露面

景福宮站座落在巡遊路線

沒有一刻停頓過 敢不敢親我

沒有一刻停止過

若你想很留住我 焦點捉緊了

我正高姿態的閃過 鎂光燈是拒捕結果

永遠醞釀著動人事變

借故記錄率真一面

這晚也許跟你擦肩

霎眼已消失你面前

我要我每個想法浪漫地實現

願望影像可沖印我每一天

布魯塞爾去到首爾亮麗地露面

光之魔術調動著誰來遇見

沒有一刻停頓過 敢不敢親我

沒有一刻停止過

若你想很留住我 焦點捉緊了

我正高姿態的閃過 鎂光燈是拒捕結果

Break it down.

uh uh uh oh yeah, give it to me

沒有一刻停頓過 敢不敢親我

沒有一刻停止過

若你想很留住我 焦點捉緊了

我正高姿態的閃過 鎂光燈是拒捕結果
