[English]

My heart remains unchanged

A drama unfolding everywhere

As I feel your thoughts

The sparkles continue to shine

There must be things I don't know

Let me know more

I won't worry, it's too late for that

Just laugh it off

Let's paint over it like this

From now on, as many times as we want

(Dance with me, It's new me)

Let's sing together from now on

Recording the "now" with you, Ready to dance

(Dance with me, It's new me)

(Dance with me, It's new me)

Everything feels like it did back then when we were together

But deep down

Give me some more

The overflowing power

A new color

Holla!

Tonight, this place is

Ours alone

A safe zone to dance

Let's update

Freedom and love

Let's feel it together

Let's paint over it like this

From now on, as many times as we want

(Dance with me, It's new me)

Let's sing together from now on

Recording the "now" with you, Ready to dance

Step!

Right to the Left

I want to enjoy it to the fullest

Step!

Right to the Left

Let's scream out loud sometimes

woooo

Let's go!

Let's paint over it like this

From now on, as many times as we want

(Dance with me, It's new me)

Let's sing together from now on

Recording the "now" with you, Ready to dance!

(Dance with me, It's new me)

(Dance with me, It's new me)
