NewJeans Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(One, two, three, ey)

You and me 내 맘이 보이지?
한참을 쳐다봐, 가까이 다가가 you see (ey-yeah)
You see (ey, ey, ey, ey)
One, two, three 용기가 생겼지
이미 아는 니 눈치
고개를 돌려 천천히, 여기 (mm)
You see 여기 보이니?

Looking for attention 너야겠어
확실하게 나로 만들겠어 (stop)
Ey, drop the question
Drop the, drop the question (drop it)
Want attention
Wanna, want attention
You give me butterflies, you know
내 맘은 온통 paradise
꿈에서 깨워주지 마 (ey)

You got me looking for attention
You got me looking for attention
가끔은 정말 헷갈리지만 분명한 건
Got me looking for attention

널 우연히 마주친 척할래
못 본 척 지나갈래
You're so fine (ey)
Gotta, gotta get to know ya
나와, 나와 걸어가 줘
지금 돌아서면 I need ya, need ya, need ya
To look at me back
Hey 다 들켰었나?
널 보면 하트가 튀어나와

난 사탕을 찾는 baby (baby)
내 맘은 설레이지
Ey, drop the question
Drop the, drop the question (just call)
Want attention
Wanna, want attention
You give me butterflies, you know
내 맘은 온통 paradise
꿈에서 깨워주지 마 (uh-huh, one, two, three, ey)

You got me looking for attention
You got me looking for attention
가끔은 정말 헷갈리지만 분명한 건
Got me looking for attention

You got me looking for attention
You got me looking for attention
가끔은 정말 헷갈리지만 분명한 건
Got me looking for attention

A-T-T-E-N-T-I-ON
Attention is what I want
A-T-T-E-N-T-I-ON
Attention is what I want
A-T-T-E-N-T-I-ON
Attention is what I want
A-T-T-E-N-T-I-ON

You got me looking for attention

ive never seen this type of marketing strategy before, it's really smart how they make the audience more curious because of how "mysterious" this is. we dont even know the members' names, yet we're already getting a mv it feels very fresh.

Crazy how this isn’t even their debut, yet they created a non-generic sound unlike the thousands of groups debuting nowadays. It has a refreshing 90’s vibe which is perfect since the 90’s trends are coming back.
