[Intro]

Baby

I'm just trying to play it cool

But I just can't hide that

I want you

[Verse 1]

Wait a minute 이게 뭐지?

Wait a minute i-ge mwo-ji?

Wait a minute, what is this?

내 심장이 lub-dub

Nae sim-jang-i lub-dub

My heart goes lub-dub

자꾸만 뛰어

Ja-kku-man tti-weo

It just keeps racing

저 멀리서도 oh my gosh!

Jeo meol-li-seo-do oh my gosh!

Even from far away, oh my gosh!

끌어당겨 you're my crush!

Kkeul-eo-dang-gyeo you're my crush!

You pull me in, you're my crush!

초능력처럼

Cho-neung-nyeok-cheo-reom

Just like a superpower

📚 Verse 1 Vocabulary & Notes:

• 이게 뭐지? (I-ge mwo-ji?): "What is this?" — Spoken soliloquy expressing genuine surprise or confusion when experiencing sudden romantic feelings.
• 자꾸만 (Ja-kku-man): "Repeatedly / over and over again" — The suffix "-만" emphasizes the involuntary and uncontrollable nature of the heartbeat.
• 끌어당겨 (Kkeul-eo-dang-gyeo): "Pulls in / attracts" — Derived from 끌어당기다, evoking physical magnetic attraction.
• 초능력처럼 (Cho-neung-nyeok-cheo-reom): "Like a superpower" — 초능력 (superpower) + -처럼 (like/as).

[Pre-Chorus]

거대한 자석이 된 것만 같아 my heart

Geo-dae-han ja-seog-i doen geot-man ga-ta my heart

It feels like my heart has turned into a giant magnet

네 모든 게 내 맘에 달라붙어버려 boy

Ne mo-deun ge nae mam-e dal-la-bu-teo-beo-ryeo boy

Everything about you just sticks right to my heart, boy

We're magnetized 인정할게

We're magnetized in-jeong-hal-ge

We're magnetized, I'll admit it

This time I want

📚 Pre-Chorus Vocabulary & Notes:

• 자석 (Ja-seok): "Magnet" — The central metaphor of the song.
• 달라붙어버려 (Dal-la-bu-teo-beo-ryeo): "Ends up sticking / clings tightly" — 달라붙다 (to stick/cling) + -어 버리다 (indicates an irresistible, completed action).
• 인정할게 (In-jeong-hal-ge): "I'll admit it / I concede" — 인정하다 (to acknowledge/admit) + -(으)ㄹ게 (future intention).

You're a 'J', I'm totally a 'P'

So let's go let's go

Let's go let's go

📚 Verse 2 Vocabulary & Notes:

• 넌 J 난 완전 P (Neon J nan wan-jeon P): MBTI personality reference highly popular in Korean youth culture. 'J' (Judging = planned, organized) contrasts with 'P' (Perceiving = spontaneous, flexible).

• 내가 (Nae-ga): "I / Me (subject)" — Casual first-person pronoun.
• 배짱 (Baet-jjang): "Guts / boldness / nerve" — Confident slang asserting that girls take the initiative in romance without being shy.

I don't want to hide my magnetic heart

내 맘의 끌림대로 너를 향해 갈게 boy

I'll go toward you just as my heart pulls me, boy

We're magnetized 인정할게

📚 Pre-Chorus Vocabulary & Notes:

• 숨기고 싶지 않아 (Sum-gi-go sip-ji an-a): "I don't want to hide" — 숨기다 (to hide) + -고 싶지 않다 (don't want to).
• 끌림대로 (Kkeul-lim-dae-ro): "Following the attraction / as guided by the pull" — -대로 means "according to / following".
• 너를 향해 갈게 (Neo-reul hyang-hae gal-ge): "I'll head toward you" — 향하다 (to head toward) + -(으)ㄹ게 (promise/determination).

• 직진해 (Jik-jin-hae): "Going straight / charging forward" — Direct and honest approach without detour.
