[ENG] 230419 MBC Entertainment News Q&A with PENOMECO
Producer and artist PENOMECO has shared his Q&A interview.
PENOMECO will release ‘Rorschach Part 1’ on various music streaming services on 19 April at 6 PM.
Along with the double title tracks ‘RINDAMAN (feat. ZICO)’ and ‘피융! (PEW!) (feat. ZICO)’, this album also includes 'BOYPABLO (2019)', 'Margiela (feat. Paul Blanco)', 'Bubble', 'Around (feat. Yonko)' and ‘Trust Me’ which makes a total of seven tracks. Zico as well as rising musicians Paul Blanco and Yonko form the album’s featuring line-up.
In this comeback, PENOMECO will show us his very own musical perspectives through brand new attempts in his music.
Q. How do you feel about releasing your new album ‘Rorschach Part 1’?
This album is being released after spending all my time working solely on it, while I had no official activities after the pandemic began. It’s been such a long time that it feels unfamiliar and makes me nervous. I still feel awkward.
Q. The theme of this album seems pretty profound. What is this album about?
‘Rorschach Part 1’ began from a psychological test known as the “Rorschach test”. The Rorschach test a type of psychological test where a person is shown a decalcomania (inkblot) pattern on a card and then asked to describe what the pattern looks like. Personally, I think I felt that this test was quite unpleasant. While working on the album, I came to think about the line between what is pleasant and what is unpleasant. And I thought that the Rorschach test is what lies on that boundary.
Q. ZICO featured in both ‘RINDAMAN’ and ‘피융! (PEW!)’. Were there any special stories behind this?
I was working on ‘피융! (PEW!)’ first, when ZICO became interested in the song. Naturally, we ended up working on the song together. Much later, ‘RINDAMAN’ was created and the song was really good. So good that it became too difficult to pick just one song for the title track. When Zico learnt about that, he thought hard about which song he should feature in. I casually asked, “if you like both songs, do you wanna feature in both songs?” and he agreed to it so cooly. And that was how he ended up featuring in both tracks. (Laughs) The decision was made so quickly.
Q. There are a total of seven tracks in this album. What’s the key focus to better enjoy listening to it?
I don’t intend to emphasise on a key focus. No answers or tips - I hope we can comfortably listen and feel this album in our own ways. If you wanna listen to it at night, do so at night. If you wanna listen to it in the morning, then do so in the morning. I hope people will get to experience it the way they wish to. I think, doing so can make you enjoy listening to this album even more.
Q. Ahead of the album’s release, did Psy give you any special advice as the CEO of the music label?
The CEO generally enjoys listening to my songs. So I think he just trusted me and listened to the album, and he didn’t have further advice for me. However, I’m often seen wearing a balaclava in the music video etc. so he was worried that people can’t recall how my face looks like. (Laughs) I assured him, saying that he has nothing to worry about. I think I made the CEO worry for no special reason, so I was a bit apologetic for that.
Q. With this album, how do you wish to be percieved by the general public?
I hope that people will be welcome to see “me”. I was making the music that I’ve been making, but it’s been a long time since I returned so I hope they’ll welcome me.
Q. Please say something to the fans who have been waiting such a long time for Penomeco.
Despite the waiting with no end in sight, thank you for always waiting for my music as well as for me. Instead, maybe that’s why I suddenly decided one day that I wanted to release the album. I hope that you can see the sincerity I put in working long and hard to make (the album). Also, thank you for always giving me your unstinting cheering and support. I’ll do my best. Please always be happy and healthy.

Don’t wanna know about tomorrow
Why won’t things just turn out the way I want?
Vaguely beating around the bush, baby ohh
With how things are now, I’m disappointed too
I’m becoming lax while the problem’s becoming more complex
I can no longer understand, hush hush
You’re standing outside
Maybe you think you’re outstanding
The blurrying scene, is it ‘cause of the tears?
Don’t wanna know about tomorrow
Why won’t things just turn out the way I want?
Instead of vaguely beating around the bush
Get angry and treat me coldly, baby
As cold as ice, baby
As cold as my haters, baby
Tell me why don’t you believe me
I’ll wait for you again
Even if it wounds me
Baby I won’t let you down

Why you can't trust me trust me trust me trust
Why you can’t

I’m running around and around her
Running around yeah beside her
I’m running around and around you
It’s true here we are
I’m not pourin’ up
Wanna get a hold of it
Only to grow further apart
We could ruin up
Oh no oh no
Why would you cry?
Don’t get me wrong
Bae we gotta hit that pause yeah
So hard to even breathe, baby
We get angry just from looking at each other, but why?
Guess we don’t know our differences
It's true here we are
I poured everything out, all over the floor
Turned off the GPS, we’re crossing this bridge unknown to us
Fuck it you got it girl, step on the gas
We fought hard, who are you to say?
I haven’t changed, what do you even know?
But in the end, I can’t even get out of here
I’m running around and around and around her
Running around and around and around her
I’m running around and around and around her
Running around and around and around her
I just put on the music and keep riding
I don’t hear your voice at all
I don’t wanna spend it
My Cayenne’s* too slow to keep up with you
We never match the right timing
So it’s my bad
We’ll meet again even if we restart
Just speed up
Empty it all
Put that fake compassion away, my head hurts
Hit the gas again
Gotta go spit that flame
Crushed the back mirror
Instead of looking back into the past
Rather go get that cash
Leaving so indifferently and then filling the void again and again
We just going back again and I’m not okay
Been running around all day with you on board
We’ve arrived, and where are we?
Fuck it you got it girl, step on the gas
We fought hard, who are you to say?
I haven’t changed, what do you even know?
But in the end, I can’t even get out of here
I’m running around and around and around her
Running around and around and around her
(Can’t stop for nothing)
I’m running around and around and around her
Running around and around and around her
(Just running for nothing)
Running around and around and around you
Why can’t I escape from you yet?
Now I’m gonna stop giving a fuck about you
I was resolute, but somehow I…
I wake up and I’m thinking about you again
When I’ve forgotten about the bygone days
I wonder if it’s okay to move on
Too many bitches around me
But they’re never gonna be you
Who could dare replace you?
Why am I only in such a mess now?
Get the fuck from around
What I’m thinking and feeling
You already know it all, right?
You already know it all, right?
Honestly I really, baby
Really miss our time together, baby
You still got me, baby
That’s still how I feel, so why?
I don’t know exactly when we became strangers
Fuck it you got it girl, step on the gas
We fought hard, who are you to say?
I haven’t changed, what do you even know?
But in the end, I can’t even get out of here
I’m running around and around and around her
Running around and around and around her
I’m running around and around and around her
Running around and around and around her

[ENG LYRICS] PENOMECO - Margiela (feat. Paul Blanco)
(Now all we gotta do is ride on this vibe
Yeah we’ll be on it, we artist babe
When it’s just the two of us strolling down the streets
We’ll be on it.¹
Let’s go)
I brought over and threw away those feelings you said were mistakes
Spending all of those feelings so that nothing’s left lingering
Changed the password and locked it up, not for you but for my sake
Only for my sake
You’re steppin’ on ma Margiela Margiela
On ma Margiela Margiela
Go, I’m asking you to leave
Steppin’ on ma Margiela, just go
You wish that I’m nobody
To me, you don’t deserve to remain in my memories
I don’t give a fuck
I was this close to losing myself to get with you
I guess you ain’t nobody to me
So I’m even more grateful
You told me that I should live in the present
I’ve come so far thanks to those words of yours, and I guess I’m still dreaming
Now see with your own eyes who’s living in reality and who’s in a dream
I made it without you, and where you at?
Do you sometimes still hum along to my songs?
Instead of your traces, I got silver chains far more expensive than gold hanging on my neck now
Nothing’s changed, I’m still the person you once knew
Instead I sit in my million-dollar car and get teary-eyed
Tracks like this one, I make it look easy nowadays
I already know that you’ll listen to this song
I brought over and threw away those feelings you said were mistakes
Spending all of those feelings so that nothing’s left lingering
Changed the password and locked it up, not for you but for my sake
Only for my sake
You’re steppin’ on ma Margiela Margiela
On ma Margiela Margiela
Go, I’m asking you to leave
Steppin’ on ma Margiela, just go
See, I’ve become somebody
Only now you’re acting brand new
No way
No no way
Told you I just needed time
But every single time
See, the you I needed the most had taught me that I needed nobody at all
Four white strings that will enter my nose²
Just like Margiela
I needed your trust, but you told me to stop dreaming
I guess it was necessary
All those nights I spent so lonely
I used to talk so much, but now I stay quiet and let my wrist do the talking
At last, I’m no longer lying when I say I don’t miss you
Finally I don’t need nobody
You hear me?
I brought over and threw away those feelings you said were mistakes
Spending all of those feelings so that nothing’s left lingering
Changed the password and locked it up, not for you but for my sake
Only for my sake
You’re steppin’ on ma Margiela Margiela
On ma Margiela Margiela
Go, I’m asking you to leave
Steppin’ on ma Margiela, just go

Ridin’ around the city
Makin’ bands yeah you know it
I simply made music and now I’m in the business class
If you wanna know how I do it just ask me my budget
I’m busy meeting CEOs that are old as my father
But I don't really care about the rest
Started from a tiny room
Now I never leave my three-story mansion
Now sleep in the box
You’re just a high school mama’s boy, you ain’t a man
I ain’t no kiddin’
Got a Louis Vuitton keyring for my Porsche key
Every morning I hit that bars
Negative vibes are only for doping tests
I’m planning to make my bed yellow next time¹
King Sejong in my red-green colorweak eyes
Gotta make that guap
No no never been satisfied, not even a half neither a quarter
I’m not surprised cuz this is Korea the burning peninsula
You just complain, and
I’m seeding inspiration inside you without sex
Load it again no matter where I look
I aim for you off-brand shitheads
Already told you
Know that I’m chosen
Rubbing my nose, Slatt I’m just snorting
Fuck, doesn't matter
Straight up
lt goes like
Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew Take that
Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew Take that
Pew Pew Pew Take that
Pew Pew Pew Take that
I’m already locked and loaded
Now put your motherfuckin’ hands up
The organiser pays me what I ask for
I raid the stage and kill them all
He freaks out just cuz I picked him
The gun in my mouth is a deadly weapon
Aiming for a critical hit making a wink
Click clack
Dropping them one by one, sh@it!²
You little fucker
I guess you’ve learned how to spit bullshit, not how to rap
You’re just a tout
The show that you were so proud about was just an Instagram Live
Only some desperate YouTubers are looking up for your cute little shit shows
Spinning your CD makes people tired, no better than a hula hoop
Whole lotta gang, you all are the same, doppelgangers
Why do you keep putting on that ski mask? Since nobody recognises you
Your shitty rap can’t even heist a penny
Yo PENO, let’s go hunting
Let’s make bullet holes on these kids like beehives and get some honey cuz I’m hungry
Beg for your life
Take cover take cover take cover
lt goes like
Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew Take that
Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew Pew Take that
Pew Pew Pew Take that
Pew Pew Pew Take that
And it goes like Pew Pew Pew
And it goes like Pew Pew Pew
It goes like Pew Pew Pew
And it goes like Pew Pew Pew
Sounds like pew pew pew
It goes like
Fuck, doesn’t matter
Rorschach.

1. In 2017, Penomeco once mentioned in an interview that he had colourweak eyes. This is the second time he speaks of the condition. In these three lines, he described his plan to change his bed(sheets) to yellow, mentioned King Sejong and guap (slang for money). The 10,000 Korean won bill is indeed printed with King Sejong’s face, but it is green in colour. He’s likely seeing green as yellow.
2. “썅@너매거” is a term coined by HIPHOPPLAYA and is used when they add Korean subtitles to memes or funny videos from the western side of social media. It’s like a slurred way to say “썅놈” (“fucking asshole”) while the “@“ is used as a censor of sorts. HIPHOPPLAYA was indeed pleased when Zico quoted this in the line.

Preface: ‘Rindaman’ (Hayashida Megumi) is a side character from manga series Crows (クローズ) – a story that follows the exploits of teenage delinquents from the Suzuran All-Boys High School. The school is also known as the “Crows School” because every student in the school is a delinquent or referred to negatively as a “crow”. Rindaman is former student of the school, and is a legendary figure at the school renowned for having never lost a fight. Despite his prowess, he remains a lone wolf and lacks any interest in conquering Suzuran unlike the main characters. In the music video, Penomeco is dressed very similarly to Rindaman in the series.
My Hoodie’s black
They on my back
Your future’s black
You’re on my back
I have no interest in competitions
But still they mention me all the time
Everybody knows but you
Why can’t you tell the difference between rapping and singing?
They say this ain’t hip-hop
Your point of view is so skinny, rocking denim
Hey kid, gotta stay like you always did
Say it in my face if you can
Take my songs off your playlists
At least move up to my weight class
You’re no match for me
You better gang up to compete me
Cuz I’m the top of the shit like RINDAMAN
I get the drop on you with my rap like Hitman Bang¹
The reason they all shut up is
Cuz nobody can handle like this
Top of the shit like I’m RINDAMAN
Fuck all that shit like I’m RINDAMAN
I don’t need the lead role, I’m RINDAMAN
RINDAMAN RINDAMAN
Among all the crows RINDAMAN
Above all the crows RINDAMAN
I don’t need the lead role I’m RINDAMAN
RINDAMAN RINDAMAN
Couldn’t find a match for me so I came out the cage myself
Never hear the word ‘streak’ unless I’m at the awards winning²
Louis Vuitton belt, you look like a child with a white belt³ to me
You think a jab will do? Well suck on that hook making too
Who wants to battle me?
I’ll throw you down as soon as I get you
Everyone has a plan until they face me
My account is full with ‘O’s like Kusama Yayoi⁴
KOZ logo’s on fire
I am a lion facing a sneaky hyena
I bite, no matter what
As you expected, this year is my turn again
Jackson, Jordan passes me the next MIC’hael⁵
Listen, I’m fresh like new jeans, Hype boy⁶
I can clean up your whole mob on my own
Cause I’m top of the shit like RINDAMAN
Put your hands behind your back and drop down on your head
If you don’t wanna be crushed into pieces, watch out for my weaponised tongue
Top of the shit like I’m RINDAMAN
Fuck all that shit like I’m RINDAMAN
I don’t need the lead role, I’m RINDAMAN
RINDAMAN RINDAMAN
Among all the crows RINDAMAN
Above all the crows RINDAMAN
I don’t need the lead role I’m RINDAMAN
RINDAMAN RINDAMAN

1. “Hitman” Bang is the professional name that Big Hit Music CEO and Hybe Corporation chairman Bang Si-hyuk uses when he composes or produces songs. He has been using this name since he did ghostwriting for JYP’s songs.
2. “연패” is a word that can mean both losing streak (連敗) and winning streak (連霸). The difference is the context in which it is used. Losing streak (連敗) is more commonly used to describe losing points consecutively in a single match or game, while winning streak (連霸) is more often used to describe consecutive winners of a championship or award.
3. The white belt is commonly known as the lowest rank in martial arts grading, such as in Taekwondo and Judo.
4. Yayoi Kusama is a Japanese contemporary artist who is well-known for the repeating dot patterns across her sculptures and installations.
5. The “King of Pop” Michael Jackson is regarded as one of the most significant cultural figures of the 20th century, and former pro basketball player Michael Jordan is considered the greatest basketball player of all time. So Zico is saying that they’re passing down the title held by legendary “Michael”s down to him.
6. In this line, Zico literally says “listen, my youth begins now, hype boy”. Within this line, “(청)춘은 (바)로 (지)금이야” the first character of each word spells “청바지” which means “jeans”.

[ENG LYRICS] PENOMECO - For You (feat. Punchnello, Crush)
Honestly speaking, things might get awkward so I’m sorry in advance
That unique body scent from you, and your exceptional preferences
Those gimmicks that distinguish you from the ordinary people
Using the same perfume but you give off a different feeling
Getting those vibes when you rest your chin on the desk
You’re wearing a brand new skirt, it’s swaying about
Look’s good for you
Those nicely sealed lips
You look prettier with less makeup on
Don’t ever form a bitter smile
And don’t even bother to lecture me
Yeah, I get speechless at your seemingly stoic face
Shifting the blame and humming
Perhaps this is much better
Why are you looking elsewhere?
What if you lose your way, baby?
Don’t cover your eyes, look straight at me
Tell me what you want, babe
This is unfair play
The barricade is crashing down
Now all we gotta do is ride on this vibe
Yeah we’ll be on it, we artist babe
When it’s just the two of us strolling down the streets
We’ll be on it
You gotta know I’m lookin far for you
I’m lookin’ far for you
I’m workin’ hard for you
I’m lookin’ far for you
I’ll promise this for you
I’ll do my best for you
I’ll promise this for you
I’ll do my best for you
Ye lady what’s good?
Don’t really know me?
Okay yeah, that’s fine
Of course, you’re not the same as the others
I’m standing in front of you, girl
Because I can’t escape you
And I’m dropping everything to tell you this
You stand out so much to me
Right from your star-studded eyes
Those twin tails on you
And that overly charming voice of yours
That boxy hoodie and that adorable bag
So breathtaking, oh
You’re turning me inside out
Insanely turned inside out
I act like I’m fine
But I’m malfunctioning bcause of you
Malfunctioning because of you
Trust me bae
Whatever you wish for, I can do it all for you
Just hold on to me with those hands of yours
Don’t care about how others think, we’ll be okay
You’re definitely different
Hoping you make the right choice
I’ll promise this for you
And I’ll do my best for you
You know what’s the right thing for you
Trust me, baby girl
We saw the downtown's night view on the rooftop bar perch
We head to Malibu, like the sunrise
Things were heating up between us
Didn’t need no words to know what each of us were thinking
When I look at you, my irises aren’t the only ones growing bigger
You know what I mean (Feel the waves)
I welcome you who’s finally on top of me (Feel the waves)
Forget everything I said before this hotel room’s door shut close
Even if you regret this a couple of hours later, babe
I don’t care at all
Lock me up so that I’ll never leave your side, babe
Tornado
We gotta just ride on these vibes
Yeah we’ll be on it, we artist babe
When it’s just the two of us strolling down the streets
We’ll be on it
You gotta know I’m lookin far for you
I’m lookin’ far for you
I’m workin’ hard for you
I’m lookin’ far for you
I’ll promise this for you
I’ll do my best for you
I’ll promise this for you
I’ll do my best for you

[ENG LYRICS] APRO X LEELLAMARZ - I THINK (feat. PENOMECO)
I think it was me
But you tempted me
I’m a fish boy
And you’re a little kitten
Baby u got me already no worries
You know what it means to be cool
I’m worried, because of the many times I can’t keep up with you
Why did you give me, of all people, a chance, why?
You’re insane, you a model
On the bed, you’re gang
I’m foaming at the mouth
Cure me now
I feel like I don’t need nobody, all I need is you
Wish you were here with me on these gloomy days of mine
Hoping you’d fall for me after watching my gig
Thinking about it now, I’m just a kid in front of you
I think it was me
I think it was me
Baby I think it was me
Actually, it doesn’t matter
I think it was u
I think it was u
U make me feel so good
Can’t shake this feeling away
So girl I think that I’m fallin’ in love
I’m worried about how I should tell you that
The atmosphere here is already dampening
(Baby I think of you)
What time is it now? You said that you’d be heading home early
Let’s leave together, since my friend’s place happens to be in the same direction
I’ll walk you home, just stay for a little longer
What about here? If it’s okay with ya
Wanna stay with ya
It has to be today, because when else have I ever had a chance like this?
I think it was me
I think it was me
Baby I think it was me (Though it was you)
Actually, it doesn’t matter (Though it was you)
(Yeah it was you)
I think it was u
I think it was u
U make me feel so good
Can’t shake this feeling away
Why did you give me, of all people, a chance, why?
You’re insane, you a model
On the bed, you’re gang
I’m foaming at the mouth
Cure me now
I feel like I don’t need nobody, all I need is you
Wish you were here with me on these gloomy days of mine
Hoping you’d fall for me after watching my gig
Thinking about it now, I’m just a kid in front of you

Feel like I can’t tell nobody
Don’t know where we are
I’m hesitating in vain
Guess I’m still far off
Moving one step at a time
As I go forward slowly, one by one
They try to get in my way
Even if my path is blocked, I gatta do this not losing ye
I think it’s pretty simple
I don’t know anything apart from working hard
They keep on testing me
An exam paper that remains undone, I’m trapped
Now what should I do
Oh my God
My nerves are on edge
Now what should I do
“Don’t worry,” I tell myself in vain
Tell me what’s going on
Actually, it’s a good thing
I smile as I bade bye bye
Don’t want to face it
Tell me what’s going on
Actually, it’s okay
I smile as I bade bye bye
I can’t be honest
Tell me am I a good kid (Good)
Tell me am I a good kid (Good good good good)
Am I a good kid (Good)
Tell me am I a good kid (Good good good good)
Ye they say I’m a good kid
I hide myself in my hoodie
Cuz I know too
Everyday, around me ye
There are devils flying around
Yeah, jealousy and envy in my mind
And it don’t last for a minute
Afraid that someone will stare hard
So don’t look, what’s in it
Hiding is something that is ingrained in me
My shoes are always laced up
Beneath my neat outfit, my skin is all reddish
When I put an edge on
I want to reveal it- No, I wanna destroy it all
When will all of this end?
My mind remains conflicted, oh ye
Sick and tired of all these losin’ games
Couldn’t tell anyone about it, but fact is that I already know
I can’t be frank at all
Still can’t utter a single word
But tell me I’m a
Tell me am I a good kid (Good)
Tell me am I a good kid (Good good good good)
Tell me am I a good kid (Good)
Tell me am I a good kid (Good good good good)
Am I good enough
Am I bad enough (Take it back)
All the noise that never stops
Feelings never know
Am I good enough
Even late at night
Strange things up in my eyes

[ENG LYRICS] Rhythm Power - Hollywood Action (feat. PENOMECO)
They boast about such insignificant things
They make their love songs too greasy
This time, our plan is outside of their predictions
The three of us aren’t just ahead of you, we’re way up high
We gonna slay them, slash like freddy
You already know, this lunatic is getting ready to go
I am music itself, come take a beating
Wanna be a guy who knows nothing but money
I’m too busy every day to be riding in a slow-moving car
Now I’ll be like Dwayne Johnson on stage
If you smell what the Boi B is cookin’ track
Ba bands in the pocket, battery’s already flat
A couple pic in the bar at 10:30 pm is no problem
Dance feelin’ like John Travolta at 12:30 am
They turn into hooligans and flee
Gather as many of them as possible and show them the Yellow Card
My colour’s yellow
Till it becomes a red card tonight
Hollywood Action
(Overdo it, more)
Hollywood Action
(Overdo it, more)
Tell me where the party at
Our Teamplay style is so dope
Our music differs from her expectations
The three of us now surround from the front, sides and up there
It’s party time before you ride the first train of the day
Daddy said, “so you have it all planned out”
Like Neymar does it, “Tchu-chi Tchu Tcha” reject the tackle
I’m already the star of tonight
Geegooin’s determined to be the star of the night
The party watch, I’m the Microphone fiend
I let out a breath full of nicotine
Then it becomes a rhythm instantly, and the girl dances along
I’m an athlete, just like Yoon Da-hoon¹
Aiming for a district, like I own a bunch of properties in Gangnam
My friends and my people, Teamplay
We go overboard when having fun, doing it with feel
My colour’s yellow
Till it becomesa red card tonight
Hollywood Action
(Overdo it, more)
Hollywood Action
(Overdo it, more)
Na na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
Na na na na, na na na
Na na na, na na na
This be like Park Hang-seo² surrounded by enemies, like a star
I’m the next persona of Tarantino’s movie
The real ones know that we’re not fooling around
Now I gotta do some Action if you’re ready or not
Movin’ bibbity boppity, we live in splendor
I make a song great with just one touch, hippity hop like Maradona
You mix around here and there but your time isn’t up yer, go back
It’s a totally unfair tiki-taka team play

[ENG LYRICS] ELO - Got It Bae (feat. Boi.B, PENOMECO)
You got an option, me or nothing
Those words and that body language that makes one fall in love
You got that class, you got that class
You're outclassed when other girls are around
I don’t wanna waste your time
You were hard at work all day long
Now come meet me if you’re comfortable, baby
Yeah we got sweetest moonlight
In a place that only we know
Both of us having the same desires
I can see it in your eyes
Take me to your heart
You got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
You got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
You got it bae
I can give you everything
You got everything you want
You got it bae
You got it bae
Ambush and Coco Chanel in your dressing room
999 new messages, girl you got it
You definitely did not work for that perfect body fit simply to look hot
And that guy in your DMs don’t know that
Tell him that you don’t have time for a cliché relationship
You’ve already dated one too many fools last year
Now I’ll show you how I’m different from the other lads
The gossip thang that bae isn’t interested about
You’re such a busy person every single day
I love the fact that I’m part of your tight schedule
Passing the Olympic Highway and parking at Sebitseom
We discuss the constellations and old movies
Putting behind the stress that you gained over the weekdays
U got this night, I got that vibe so that’s all we got
You got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
You got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
You got it bae
I can give you everything
You got everything you want
You got it bae
You got it bae
Wait a moment
Drinking alone feels too lonely
My customer is the one and only
Choosing you was the work of miraculous logic
Till the morning
I’m getting hooked by that one line you uttered
My heart’s pumping like the World DJ Festival
I’m trynna keepin running got me like ohhh!!!
My story’s short, tick-tock
Don’t wanna waste my time
What do you think my MBTI type is?
Girl you don’t know
You don’t understand
Till I make it into your algorithm
I’m working on to make it to ya
You got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
You got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
Girl, you got it bae
You got it bae
I can give you everything
You got everything you want
You got it bae
You got it bae

Lyrics by IU
Composed by Woogie, Penomeco
Arranged by Woogie
You’re glimmering as usual, gazing at me with those pale eyes
I’ll simply stop loving those eyes that used to drive me crazy
Ah, I’m sorry
I don’t wanna force myself to undo my change of heart
I’m sick of your love
Sick of your love
Sick of your all
I hate the dullness that consumes us
Too fed up with us
Fed up with us
Fed up with all
Criticise and attack me as you like
Those blazing emotions are now nothing but crumbs
Guess it was so insignificant that ultimately this was all there was to it
I’m sick of your love
Sick of your love
Sick of your all
I hate the comfortableness that delays a break-up
Too fed up with us
Fed up with us
Fed up with all
Criticise and attack me as much you wish
Sorry, I’m sick of your love
I’m sick of your love
Too sick of your love
I’m sick and tired of your all
Sick of this love
Just fed up with us and our love
Sick of your love
Just sick of this love

[ENG LYRICS] Moon Sujin, Jiselle - Only U (feat. PENOMECO)
Tell me that I’m your beautiful one
Though I’m not gonna give you my everything
Give me your love and I’ll be your love
Though you’re not the only one on my mind
I don’t care who stays by your side
Cus you’re not the only one in my eyes
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
Can’t do that if you decide to keep still
I don’t dream of having you to myself, but I hope that you’ll appear in my dreams
I hope we’ll each stop trying to scheme against each other
If you think I’m too much, keep thinking that way babae
You wouldn’t leave me by myself just by way I smile when I see you, yeah yeah
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
I’m the only one you think of, and you probably know that
Am I crazy? Or what else could that be?
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
I’m the only one you think of, and you probably know that
Am I crazy? Or what else could that be?
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
Baby hold on, told you I need your love
Baby hold on, told you I need your love
There’s something wrong with your self-expression
All you need to do is to tell me honestly
Oh baby I’m upset
I can feel it lately
Don’t understand
You act like this in front of other guys too?
She said, “I’m not at fault, my true nature has always been that way”
How disappointing
Why you keep talking like this? Baby don’t say that
Baby, I know you too well
The thing about how you don’t feel the same way as I do
If you want me to hold you
Don’t speak what’s not on your mind, come receive my embrace
So baby I need this
And I wanna hold you
Yeah come here, oh
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
I’m the only one you think of, and you probably know that
Am I crazy? Or what else could that be?
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
I’m the only one you think of, and you probably know that
Am I crazy? Or what else could that be?
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
You said, “see you later”
But I don’t think that’s happening
The way I love you
Though it gives you a hard time when I do things my way
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
I’m the only one you think of, and you probably know that
Am I crazy? Or what else could that be?
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
I’m the only one you think of, and you probably know that
Am I crazy? Or what else could that be?
Baby you’re needless but I want you to hold me
