[English]

“Sorry”, “Love you”

Hate these words

Maybe I still …

You’re gone

So I made this song

My muse

You’re my nicotine, caffeine, baby

Congrats, my baby

I'll keep begging and begging

But please, at least you should be happy

I wish you’d cry

After a warm hello, please say a cold goodbye

Hi turns to bye

Oh right

You’ll probably know

The message inside this melody

For now

So my story echoes through the streets

Day and night

Spinning round & round nearby

I'm going to go catch you

Girl, it must go viral

Until my image reaches you

Girl, it must go viral

Without you, I’m hurting like a virus

My muse

You’re my nicotine, caffeine, baby

It's different from what we had

Stage is my zone

I run this show

Setting my mode once again

Secretly, you'll be shedding tears

Trust me

I'll bet my copyright on it

This song will flood your feed

If you run into me then, make sure to click

Look at my next step

You just sip, sip, I’m your nicotine

All night

The lyrics written over the white noise

Right now

Are getting louder, spreading through the crowd

Day and night

Spinning round & round again

I'm going to go catch you

Girl, it must go viral

Until my image reaches you

Girl, it must go viral

Without you, I’m hurting like a virus

My muse

You’re my nicotine, caffeine, baby

Te quiero, señorita

I'll sing until my voice goes hoarse so you hear it all

Wherever you go, you'll eventually come find me

Yeah, pinky swear

Oh, I switched up for real, sure

I'll spin round & round in your head, taka taka

Girl, it must go viral

Even if it stays like a tattoo

Girl, it must go viral

Are you listening, thinking it's just a common love song?

Oh na na na

Started with fire

Oh na na na

We’re going higher

Oh na na na

Started with fire

Oh na na na

We’re going higher

I’m on my money

But I’m on my lonely

So what you up to now

[Korean]

“Sorry”, “Love you”

Hate these words

Maybe I still …

You’re gone

So I made this song

My muse

You’re my nicotine, caffeine, baby

Congrats, my baby

빌고 빌게

너라도 꼭 행복해

I wish you’d cry

따뜻한 안녕 뒤 싸늘하게 작별해 줘

Hi turns to bye

Oh right

넌 알겠지

이 멜로디 속 메세지

For now

내 스토리가 거리에 울리게

Day and night

주위 round & round

널 붙잡으러 갈 거야

Girl, it must go viral

내 모습이 닿을 때까지

Girl, it must go viral

너 없는 나는 아파 virus

My muse

You’re my nicotine, caffeine, baby

우리 사이와는 달라

Stage is my zone

I run this show

다시 set on my mode

남들 몰래 넌 눈물 흘릴걸

Trust me

걸게 내 저작권

이 노랜 도배될 거야 네 피드에

그 때 날 마주한다면 꼭 click해

Look at my next step

You just sip, sip, I’m your nicotine

All night

백색소음에 써내린 가삿말이

Right now

점점 커져 객석에 퍼지네

Day and night

다시 round & round

널 붙잡으러 갈 거야

Girl, it must go viral

내 모습이 닿을 때까지

Girl, it must go viral

너 없는 나는 아파 virus

My muse

You’re my nicotine, caffeine, baby

Te quiero, señorita

까지 다 듣게 목이 쉬게 불러

Wherever you go 듣다 한 번은 꼭 찾아와 날 보러

Yeah 손가락 걸어

Oh, I switched up for real, sure

네 머릴 round & round 돌 거야 taka taka

Girl, it must go viral

문신처럼 남는다 해도

Girl, it must go viral

흔한 사랑 노래라 듣고 있니 넌

Oh na na na

Started with fire

Oh na na na

We’re going higher

Oh na na na

Started with fire

Oh na na na

We’re going higher

I’m on my money

But I’m on my lonely

So what you up to now
