Shut Down
BLACKPINK Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

BLACKPINK in your area, eh-oh
BLACKPINK in your area, eh-oh

컴백이 아냐, 떠난 적 없으니까
고개들이 돌아, 진정해, 목 꺾일라
분홍빛의 얼음 drip, drip, drip, freeze 'em on sight
Shut it down
What, what, what, what?

게임이 아냐, 진 적이 없으니까
짖어봐, 니 목에 목줄은 내 거니까
땅바닥에 닿은 pedal, we go two-zero-five
Shut it down
Uh, uh, uh, uh

초록 비를 내려 머리 위로 don't trip, baby
겸손하게 그냥 앉아있어 just sit baby
Praying for my downfall, many have tried, baby
Catch me when you hear my Lamborghini go vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom

When we pull up, you know it's a shutdown
간판 내리고 문 잠가 shut down
Whip it, whip it, whip it, whip it
Whip it, whip it, whip it, whip it
It's black and it's pink once the sun down

When we pull up, you know it's a shutdown
간판 내리고 문 잠가 shut down
Whip it, whip it, whip it, whip it
Whip it, whip it, whip it, whip it
Keep watching me shut it down

Nah
You don't wanna be on my bad side, that's right, I'm slidin' through
Bunch of wannabes that wanna be me, me three if I was you
Been around the world, pearls on ya girl, VVS's we invested, uh
Need a lesson see the necklace, see these dresses
We don't buy it, we request it, uh

A rockstar, a popstar, but rowdier
Say bye to the paparazzi, get my good side, I'll smile for ya
Know it ain't fair to ya, it's scarin' ya like what now?
BLACKPINK in your area, the area been shut down, it's a shutdown

니 다음 답안지야, 똑바로 봐 don't sleep, baby
뒤집어봐, 이건 가격표야 ain't cheap, baby
Stay in your own lane 'cause I'm 'bout to swerve (swerve)
Catch me when you hear my Lamborghini go vroom, vroom, vroom, vroom

When we pull up, you know it's a shutdown
간판 내리고 문 잠가 shut down
Whip it, whip it, whip it, whip it
Whip it, whip it, whip it, whip it
It's black and it's pink once the sun down

When we pull up, you know it's a shutdown
간판 내리고 문 잠가 shut down
Whip it, whip it, whip it, whip it
Whip it, whip it, whip it, whip it
Keep watching me shut it down

Shut it down (eh-oh), BLACKPINK in your area
Shut it down (eh-oh) whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Shut it down (eh-oh), BLACKPINK in your area
Keep talking we shut you down

Overall Meaning

"Shut Down" is a track off BLACKPINK's 2021 first-ever studio album titled "THE ALBUM". It is a high tempo Hip-Hop and R&B track that features Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, and Jisoo each delivering their verses in both Korean and English. The track is essentially about flaunting their power and shutting down their detractors. The song's intro starts with a repetitive "BLACKPINK in your area, eh-oh" chant, and immediately after, a throbbing kick-drum initiates a commanding yet playful vibe.


The first verse points out that comeback season doesn't exist for BLACKPINK because they have never left. Their melodic drip is freezing people on sight, and everyone needs to calm down and stop gawking at their presence. The second verse goes on to talk about how they have not come to play any games and that anyone who tries to come for them will regret it. The verse also highlights their possessions, such as the Lamborghini, and how it makes a roaring sound. In the choruses, the girls emphasize the impact of their arrival by shutting down everything— signing off their authority as queens in their area.


Blackpink has had remarkable success with their album "THE ALBUM" globally, particularly in the US, where it peaked at No.2 on the US Billboard 200 chart. The album's success's main single was "How You Like That," which received over 1.65 billion streams on YouTube. The group has won several awards since their debut in 2016, including the MTV Video Music Award and the Melon Music Award.
