[English]

Turn it, turn it up

BANG! Can you hear that right now?

Heart pounding Get loud

So freak, gonna be rough watch out

Step on the boundary before my feet, wow!

Flipped another page, no lines drawn

(fill it out as you wish)

Wipe away the fear before the unknown path

(let’s face it)

We’ll draw a story

One shot, two shots, all post it

Imagine

About to make new waves, sway yeah yeah

Not so perfect now, but I love this moment

Freely

making my way, the way I want, One Two

Got no genre our movie

Not a moment predictable

From the first scene it’s climax (oops)

Young, Dumb, Stupid

Young, Dumb, Stupid

But who cares? But who cares?

We’re fearless, do whatever we want

Ding dang dong Ding dang dong

I may be clueless, but I feel confident, Feel so cool

Let’s take a step further

Ding dang dong Ding dang dong

Do whatever we want, NMIXX!

Young & Dumb you say we won’t make it

Blab on blah blah better be ready with popcorn

Everyday 1, 2, 3 more episodes

We’ll show ‘em all, our thrilling flow

Brand new every moment as if it’s new

Fresh ma attitude

Before the eyes looking down on me, yeah yeah yeah

Not so perfect now, but I love this moment

Freely

making my way, the way I want, One Two

Louder before the world Say cheese

Our colors don’t fade

365 days flashlight chasing us (Oops)

Young, Dumb, Stupid

Young, Dumb, Stupid

But who cares? But who cares?

We’re fearless, do whatever we want

Ding dang dong Ding dang dong

I may be clueless, but I feel confident, Feel so cool

Let’s take a step further

Ding dang dong Ding dang dong

Knock on, knock knock, open that door

Pull up that sinking feeling

Make way, beep beep, boldly go

How’s that, speed is Mach, Mach

Bring it on, we can make it

Knock me down I get right back up

We’ve got nothing to fear

Dreaming the biggest dream, young & dumb

Young, Dumb, Stupid

Young, Dumb, Stupid

But who cares? But who cares?

We’re fearless, do whatever we want

Ding dang dong Ding dang dong

I may be clueless, but I feel confident, Feel so cool

Let’s take a step further

Ding dang dong Ding dang dong

Wait, I know what you want

Come on in before it’s too late
