[English]

Yeah, let’s go

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, I walked right in

In the moment we brush past, everyone’s my friend

Saying hi here and there, yeah yeah

Everything feels natural, give me space

Always like that, my face catches the eye

Don’t glance at me, this isn’t a race

Nuh uh uh uh

No matter what anyone says, being ordinary is boring

Do whatever I want (my way)

Even if they call it reckless, if it’s fun, that’s okay

Not enough, want more

With the gaze on me, “Hate me?”

No matter what anyone says, can’t change me

I like it just the way it is now

When I’m being myself, I shine brighter than anyone

I’ve been actin’ too

RUDE!

This and that, no rules

A pretty brazen attitude

(I’m not bad)

You can’t make me act right

RUDE!

I don’t care, this is how I roll

A dance I just do however I want

(Do it like me)

You can’t make me act right

Shh, no, louder, yuh

Should I shout out? Yuh

Time is always so tight

A world without adults

Today’s vibe fits my type

Come on, shall we lock eyes?

Drop the worries in advance, just for a moment

We’re living that good life, good life

The less I fake, the better

More naturally

No hesitation, never

Do whatever draws me

When I’m being myself, I shine brighter than anyone

I’ve been actin’ too

RUDE!

This and that, no rules

A pretty brazen attitude

(I’m not bad)

You can’t make me act right

RUDE!

I don’t care, this is how I roll

A dance I just do however I want

(Do it like me)

You can’t make me act right

Move the way I want

Make me act right

Move the way I want

Acting too rude, uh

Even my sharp tongue

And my unfiltered expressions

Just as I’m honestly

Feel so cool

Enviable glances everywhere

Don’t call me darling

I’m too rude!

You know what he said to me?

(What?)

He was like

“You are so rude”

And I was like

“Boy, does it look like I could care?

I couldn’t care less!”

RUDE!

This and that, no rules

A pretty brazen attitude

(I’m not bad)

You can’t make me act right

RUDE!

I don’t care, this is how I roll

A dance I just do however I want

(Do it like me)

You can’t make me act right

Move the way I want

Make me act right

Move the way I want

Make me act right

...

[Korean]

Yeah, let’s go

Yeah, yeah

스치는 순간 모두가 My friend

여기저기서 인사를 건네 Yeah yeah

다 자연스럽게 알아 Give me space

언제나 그래 눈에 띌 My face

흘겨보지 마 이건 No race

Nuh uh uh uh

누가 뭐래도 평범한 건 지루해

뭐든 맘대로 (내 맘대로)

철이 없대도 재밌으면 That’s okay

Not enough want more

날 향한 시선에 “Hate me?”

누가 뭐래도 Can’t change me

지금 이대로 좋아

나다울 때 누구보다 눈부셔 난

I’ve been actin’ too

I don’t care 이게 나라구

아무렇게나 추는 춤

(따라 해)

You can’t make me act right

쉿, 아니 더 Loud yuh

소리 질러 볼까 Yuh

늘 시간은 So tight

어른이 없는 세상

오늘은 찾아 That’s my type

자, 눈 맞춰 볼까

미리 걱정하는 건 버려 잠깐

We living that good life, good life

꾸밈 없을수록 Better

더 자연스럽게

망설임은 Never

이끌린 대로 해

나다울 때 누구보다 눈부셔 난

Key Grammar Structures

• 누가 뭐래도 평범한 건 지루해

  ➔ Conditional clause with '더라도' (even if/no matter what)

  ➔ This sentence uses '누가 뭐래도' (no matter what anyone says) followed by '평범한 건 지루해' (being ordinary is boring). The '더라도' construction implies a contrast – even if others say it's good to be normal, the speaker finds it boring.

• 뭐든 맘대로 (내 맘대로)

  ➔ Use of '맘대로' (as one pleases/freely) as an adverb.

  ➔ This phrase emphasizes doing things 'as one pleases'. '뭐든' means 'anything' and '맘대로' means 'freely' or 'as you like'. The repetition '(내 맘대로)' reinforces the idea of self-will.

• I’ve been actin’ too

  ➔ Present perfect continuous tense ('have been + verb-ing') to describe an ongoing action that started in the past.

  ➔ The phrase indicates that the speaker has been behaving in a 'rude' or unconventional way for some time, and this behavior is still continuing. The 'too' emphasizes the excessiveness of the behavior.

• You can’t make me act right

  ➔ Modal verb 'can't' expressing inability or prohibition + infinitive 'act'.

  ➔ This is a defiant statement. The speaker is asserting their independence and refusing to conform to expectations of 'proper' behavior. 'Act right' implies behaving in a socially acceptable manner.
