[English]

Ah

[음악]

We’re BLACKPINK

BLACKPINK

We may seem similar, but we’re different to the core

Even if I feel embarrassed, I’m confident when I’m on stage

We’re not just skin-deep, we’re the real deal

We enjoy it, but we’re quick to catch on—when it comes to popularity

Only pain inside, but we’re the bosses, stepping over the competition

If you hear our name, it’s true, true

That’s right, we’re the ones setting the bar
