[English]

Who the hell are you?

BE:FIRST

Who the hell are you?

ATEEZ

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you?

Gotta wake up

We're gonna crush it

The sun just went down now

Breathing in the dark night

Pack it up, there's no time to waste, no time to wait

Get out there now and make it happen

I've been working hard for a long time, aiming to seize this moment

A big step, unseen by anyone

You can't see me, I've already escaped

Undercover, expecting what

A and B, grab the CDs

Always aiming for first place

Holla back, the moon illuminates

Drawing contours again in the darkness

From the ground up, where big bodies can't see, explosion

By the time you realize, you can't catch us

On nights that feel unfulfilled

The drops of sweat I've shed

Polished the story we've built

I swear to

I swear to God

Gotta go, gotta wake up

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can't wait to go (Hush-Hush)

Unaware that the era is changing

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can't wait to go (Hush-Hush)

When the world finds out

I'm doing it like this

I'm doing it like that

I'm doing it like this

I'm doing like this, 'HUSH'

Leaving only the scent behind

Stirring up your heart, gotta go

Sometimes I feel like a ghost

Things will gradually change as I go

Nothing changes

We’re living in metafiction

Top-tier

The underdog who was laughed at stole the crown

Unnecessary fights and arguments, those are useless

Putting everything aside, we go in with a peace sign

Who's first? It doesn't matter what you think

We're different, like ATEEZ X BE:FIRST

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can't wait to go (Hush-Hush)

Spreading through the era, vortex, we’re the wave

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can't wait to go (Hush-Hush)

When the vibrating sound of our entrance is heard

Oh yeah

Kissing my burning feelings

Close your eyes and feel this world

It's simple

Just between you and me

I know we can change the world

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can't wait to go (Hush-Hush)

Unaware that the era is changing

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can't wait to go (Hush-Hush)

When the world finds out

I'm doing it like this (Hush-Hush)

I'm doing it like that (Hush-Hush)

I'm doing it like this (Hush-Hush)

I'm doing it like that, "HUSH"

[Japanese]

Who the hell are you?

BE:FIRST

Who the hell are you?

ATEEZ

Who the hell are you?

Who the hell are you?

Gotta wake up

We’re gonna kill it

太陽が今 沈んだ

闇夜の中 息づくんだ

Pack it up, we have no time to waste, no time to wait

Get out there right now and make it happen

I've been on my grind for a long time 全てこの時掴む為

아무도 모르게 Big step

You can’t see me 이미 escape

Undercover, who expect

A 와 B CD 챙겨

Every First place

Holla back 月が照らす

暗がりの中また輪郭を描く

でっかい図体じゃ見えない足元から爆発

もう気づいた時には You can’t capture us

満たされない夜に

흘려온 땀방울이

磨いてきたストーリー

I swear to

I swear to God

Gotta go, gotta wake up

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can’t wait to go (Hush-Hush)

時代が変わる気づかずに

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can’t wait to go (Hush-Hush)

世界にバレるその時に

I'm doing like this

I'm doing like that

I'm doing like this

I'm doing like it, "HUSH"

향기만 남긴 채

맘을 흔들지 Gotta go

Sometimes I feel like a ghost

점점 바꿔줄 게 On the way out

変わらない

We’re living in metafiction

上の上

笑われた Underdog が掻っ攫った王冠

불필요한 싸움 언쟁 그딴 건 필요 없어

전부 제쳐두고 우리는 들어 Peace sign

Who is first? It doesn't matter what you think

We're different like ATEEZ X BE:FIRST

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can’t wait to go (Hush-Hush)

시대 속에 퍼져 Vortex, we’re the wave

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can’t wait to go (Hush-Hush)

진동하는 등장소리 들릴 때

Oh yeah

燃える想いにキスをして

눈을 감고 이 세상을 느껴

簡単な話

Just between you & me

I know we can change the world

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can’t wait to go (Hush-Hush)

時代が変わる気づかずに

Turn you on (Hush-Hush)

Can’t wait to go (Hush-Hush)

世界にバレるその時に

I’m doing like this (Hush-Hush)

I’m doing like that (Hush-Hush)

I’m doing like this (Hush-Hush)

I'm doing like it, "HUSH"
