WooAh HIP
MAMADOL Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Be like me
Do it like me
Be like me

(Oh yeah, burn me) 지금 이 순간이
서로를 끌어당겨 burn it
좀 더 당겨 네 활시위
긴장하게 될 걸 warning
Hey, watch out!
움바야 움바비야 링링가링가

우아해 난 hip 해
맞이해 ready for queen's back

내 멋대로 굴래
또 무대 위로
익숙한 느낌
되살아난 떨림 oh
다시 칠해질 최고의 순간
불어 춤바람 바람 바람 유쾌한 이 반란

Everybody wannabe a be like me
Be like, la, la, like me, do it like me
Everybody wannabe a be like me
Be like, la, la, like me

Wooah hip
Do it like me
나처럼 해봐라 요렇게
모두 잠든 이 밤에
Wooah hip
손 머리 위
날 따라 해봐라 이렇게
우아하게 hip 하게

Wooah hip
Hit it dra, dda, dda
Wooah hip
우아하고 hip 해

Uh! 네들이 애 셋을 키우는 mom의 마음을 알어 알어
Uh! Mom 이기 전에 하고 싶은 게 참으로 많어
움바야 움바비야 링링가링가

자 이제 시작될 진짜 날 기대해

내 멋대로 굴래
또 무대 위로
익숙한 느낌
되살아난 떨림 oh
다시 칠해질 최고의 순간
불어 춤바람 바람 바람 유쾌한 이 반란

Everybody wannabe a be like me
Be like la la like me, do it like me
Everybody wannabe a be like me
Be like, la, la, like me

Wooah hip
Do it like me
나처럼 해봐라 요렇게
모두 잠든 이 밤에
Wooah hip
손 머리 위
날 따라 해봐라 이렇게
우아하게 hip 하게

Wooah hip
Hit it dra, dda, dda
Wooah hip
느낌와 느낌와 느낌와
Wooah hip
Hit it dra, dda, dda
Wooah hip
우아하고 hip 해

Wooah hip
변신해 tiger mom (mom)
기다려 모두가 잠든 밤 (밤)
터질 걸 매일이 불장

Overall Meaning

The song "WooAh HIP" by MAMAMOO is a catchy and energetic track that showcases confidence and individuality. The chorus begins with the repeated phrase "Be like me, do it like me," which encourages listeners to follow their own path and be proud of who they are. The lyrics also reference the idea of burning passion and attracting others towards oneself, warning to be cautious and watch out. It's a powerful anthem that shows how one can conquer their inner fears and doubts and unleash their true selves.


In the song, the group references some Korean children's songs to create a nostalgic mood for Korean listeners, especially for those born in the 90s.


The lyrics also make reference to the tigress mom, which is a mother who is very strict about her children's education in Korea. The song encourages the tiger mom not to wait until her kids go to bed to take up her own passions.


One interesting fact about the track is that originally it was supposed to be a cheerful and optimistic song. But the result was totally different after the vocal riffs were added.


Another interesting fact is that the lyrics contain some sexual connotations, but they're more of a wordplay among Korean speakers who grew up around the 80s and the 90s. The song integrates the Korean verb '우-' and the onomatopoeic sound '-아-' to come up with the term "우아한" for Hip, whose pronunciation is reminiscent of 'oh yeah.' Korean speakers around that era associate "우" with "wooing" or sounding "cool" and "아" with "wow."


The female rapper, Moonbyul, composed and wrote this song.


The music video features the CEO of RBW entertainment in a cameo appearance, walking in with his shiny leather shoes.


WooAh HIP has earned MAMAMOO their very first music show win in November during their promotional period.


The song also became the highest charting song by a girl group on the MelOn Daily Chart when it rose to No.1.


"WooAh HIP" was included in a Genie Music article for having "impactful" remixes with different artists such as Finnish EDM duo DaBitch and Nigerian singer JoeBoy.


Another remarkable performance of the song was during the 2019 MAMA Awards, where it was combined with the group's other hit song, "gogobebe," and created a memorable dance medley.


The chords for the song are as follows – Gbmaj7, Bbm, Gbmaj7, Bbm, Gbmaj7, Ab, Dbm7, Bbm.

@jaydaappleton9063

They're tons of powerful girl groups that sing for woman empowerment and I respect a lot of them and their music but this group does bring something new to the table.

@ItzMEdzy_everglowcbfinallyy

Sunye really went from the iconic leader of wonder girls to the golden maknae of mamadol. I WANT A COMEBACK SO BAAADDD

@HawkKing2000

I can't imagine any other reason for SunYe to sign a brand new contract with Blockberry Creative unless she had plans to return to recording. Blockberry is already promoting her on Twitter as their "Girl of the Month" (ala Loona). I'm expecting comeback news about her in the next few months :)...

@kevinscheeseballhair9720

I was wondering who the center was because I swore she looked so familiar and I thought it was Lee Hyori at first but I can’t believe that I didn’t recognize her as Sunye.. idk I guess it’s been a really long time and I’m not that familiar with all WG members

@saintnicole3209

@@HawkKing2000 well it's not really a "brand new contract" considering she's been an artist under polaris since 2018. blockberry is a subsidiary of polaris so it's not like a huge change in management or anything. since polaris has a lot of actors in the company i theorize that they are slowly transitioning their music artists to blockberry so that polaris can be for acting and blockberry can be for music.
