[English]

Here in Seoul, the special city

We've caused countless miracles

Among hidden stars, a special one rises

Full of oddities, unchanging

A bustling street

Every street has its hassle

Clean it up, clean it up, get back

Just a shiny shell, empty tin can

Kick it, kick it, kick it

Swerving, I'm speeding down Serpent Road

Luxurious, like I’m an S-Class

The best of the best in First Class

Way above the world, shining so bright

There I am, shining day and night

They wonder how my spotlight shines so bright

Counting stars

A star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a strange guy—that’s me

Among stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars—my work

(Bling Bling)

Every day

Shiny, shiny, shiny

Shining bright—class is special

Shiny, shiny, shiny

A star that spreads its light, shining even brighter

Hip-hop steps, big and bold, my specialty

Like entering my home, a special zone

My studio’s not jealous, it’s the best seat

Rushing with excitement, unique traits

Looking around, seeing some random folks

Only chasing dazzling things, can’t help but run

Rather than chasing the shine, the shining side

Is way more stylish—shine like a diamond, okay?

Swerving, I'm speeding down Serpent Road

Luxurious, like I’m an S-Class

The best of the best in First Class

Way above the world, shining so bright

There I am, shining day and night

They wonder how my spotlight shines so bright

Counting stars

A star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a star among stars, a strange guy—that’s me

Among stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars, stars—my work

(Bling Bling)

Every day

Shiny, shiny, shiny

Shining bright—class is special

Shiny, shiny, shiny

A star that spreads its light, shining even brighter

Feels like the brightest star, night sky pouring with light

Looking up at the sky, my reflection is decorated there, yeah yeah

Staying steady without falling, confidently stay here, yeah

With shine that radiates, people recognize us—this is who we are, we’re special, yeah

Stray Kids, my team behind is like special forces

On stage, just being there, this is a special performance

The audience isn’t even needed; it’s a festival

No need for restraint, when the reins are loose

Limited edition, what’s unique becomes special

Make opacity clear, keep repeating and remind ourselves

Eyes catching tension, the audience immersed

Our light becomes one, illuminating everywhere here

Counting stars, being special

(Counting stars, being special)

Feeling extra (Bling Bling)

Every day

Shiny, shiny, shiny

Shining bright—class is special

Shiny, shiny, shiny

A star that spreads its light, shining even brighter

여긴 Seoul 특별시

수많은 기적을 일으켰지

가려진 별들 사이 떠오르는 특별

별난 것투성이 변함없지
