Crush
아이오아이 (I.O.I) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is it love or lust?
Migos is a must, let this OG fill your lungs
Coughing Cookies up
If you not one of us, then you not one we trust
When you not in the room, what is it they discuss?
Pour a 4 inside my Crush
Let this OG fill your lungs
Let this OG fill your lungs
Wait, what's that in yo' cup? (What's that?)
Please don't worry 'bout mines
Wockhardt sippin' slumped
Guava Runtz my blunt
I ain't smokin' just for fun
I got too much on my mind
Father forgive all the shit I've done
From fuckin' on all these bitties I'm up
To takin my uncle's blunt
Remember I was stealin' from my granny
But she still love me and momma I won
I knew I had to change my ways some day Sunday was not the Lord's Day
I ain't livin' holy
My hoes they pour up for me
This duece I'm sippin' slowly
Lately I be by my lonely
I'm sendin' off shots if you fuck with my dojo
I'm missin' that ahh but she gimme bad mojo
I'm cool tryna keep the shit cordial
Up early in the morning like soldiers
Had to jug around town with the jokers
It's the hand we was dealt like poker
Can't see eye to eye cause I told her
Now I'm ridin' by big boy Rover
What's that in my cup?
Is it love or lust?
Migos is a must, let this OG fill your lungs
Coughing Cookies up
If you not one of us, then you not one we trust
When you not in the room, what is it they discuss?
Pour a 4 inside my Crush
Let this OG fill your lungs
Coughing Cookies up
Let this OG fill your lungs
Take two hits and get fucked up
Can't do skimp make sure it's stuffed
Smoke session need more than one
So high might need a lung
So high can't feel my thumbs
Gimme space don't spill my cup
Lost some cash up in the past and got it back ain't that some luck
High maintenance do not touch
Inhale, exhale that's tough (Dayum!)
Wake and bake a must
Didn't wash my face or none
Last night was up at my space
I put the wood out have me stuck (Stuck)
Woke up ate some breakfast
But found it was lunch (Fuck!)
Turkey bags up in the trunk
You got that bag just hit me up (Hit my line!)
Once that's gone come back reup
Go get fly we gon' tee up
It's on me go ahead drink up (Drink)
Don't read minds go ahead speak up (Speak)
I'm too cool got my feet up
When you see me just don't freeze up
What's that in my cup?
Is it love or lust?
Migos is a must, let this OG fill your lungs
Coughing Cookies up
If you not one of us, then you not one we trust
When you not in the room, what is it they discuss?
Pour a 4 inside my Crush
Let this OG fill your lungs
Coughing Cookies up
Let this OG fill your lungs
The song "Crush" by I.O.I tells the story of a person who is waiting for their crush, but he doesn't show up. The singer waits for hours, checking social media and staring at the sunrise, hoping to see their crush. Summer comes and goes, and finally, the singer catches sight of their crush. However, they realize that they have already fallen for him, and it's too late because their heart is already stolen. The lyrics convey the feeling of regret for not taking the chance to confess earlier and now having to deal with the pain of unrequited love.
The repeated phrase "Lỡ say anh mất rồi" translates to "I'm lost, I lost you" in English, highlighting the regret that the singer feels. The line "Chẳng cần nên suy nghĩ" translates to "Don't need to think too much" and shows the singer's desire to move on from this unrequited love.
Overall, the song "Crush" is a heartfelt ballad that touches on the pain and regret of unrequited love, and expresses the longing for a lost chance at love.
Line by Line Meaning
Một mình em ở đây
I am alone here
Lặng thầm mãi lướt face
Silently scrolling through social media
Đợi chờ anh đấy nhưng chẳng thấy xuất hiện
Waiting for you to appear but you never show up
Mặc kệ biết đúng sai
Ignoring whether it's right or wrong
Mình ngồi đến sớm mai
Sitting until early morning
Nhìn lại đôi khi mặt trời vừa mới lên
Sometimes watching the sunrise
Mùa hạ dần ghé chơi
Summer slowly comes by
Chợt nhìn anh chút thôi
Suddenly catching a glimpse of you
Mà nào ngờ đâu tim này say mất rồi
But unexpectedly this heart is already drunk on you
Lại là đôi mắt anh
It's your eyes again
Lạc vào tâm trí em
Getting lost in my thoughts
Chẳng hiểu vì sao cứ nghĩ đến mãi thôi
Don't understand why I keep thinking about it
Lỡ say anh mất rồi
I accidentally fell in love with you
Love love love
Love love love
Vì lỡ say anh mất rồi
Because I accidentally fell in love with you
Giờ chẳng cần nên suy nghĩ
Now there's no need to overthink
Lỡ yêu anh mất rồi
I accidentally love you now
Lỡ say anh mất rồi
I accidentally fell in love with you
Lỡ yêu anh mất rồi
I accidentally love you now
Chẳng cần nên suy nghĩ
There's no need to overthink
Lỡ say anh mất rồi
I accidentally fell in love with you
Lỡ say anh mất rồi
I accidentally fell in love with you
Lỡ say anh mất rồi
I accidentally fell in love with you
Mùa hạ dần ghé chơi
Summer slowly comes by
Chợt nhìn anh chút thôi
Suddenly catching a glimpse of you
Mà nào ngờ đâu tim này say mất rồi
But unexpectedly this heart is already drunk on you
Lại là đôi mắt anh
It's your eyes again
Lạc vào tâm trí em
Getting lost in my thoughts
Chẳng hiểu vì sao cứ nghĩ đến mãi thôi
Don't understand why I keep thinking about it
Lỡ say anh mất rồi
I accidentally fell in love with you
Love love love
Love love love
Vì lỡ say anh mất rồi
Because I accidentally fell in love with you
Giờ chẳng cần nên suy nghĩ
Now there's no need to overthink
Lỡ yêu anh mất rồi
I accidentally love you now
Lỡ yêu anh mất rồi
I accidentally love you now
Lỡ yêu anh mất rồi
I accidentally love you now
Giờ chẳng cần nên suy nghĩ
Now there's no need to overthink
Lỡ say anh mất rồi
I accidentally fell in love with you
Lỡ say anh mất rồi
I accidentally fell in love with you
Chẳng cần nên suy nghĩ
There's no need to overthink
Chẳng cần nên suy nghĩ
There's no need to overthink
Vì lỡ say anh mất rồi
Because I accidentally fell in love with you

When I first watched this, I had no idea who was who except Somi (Didn't watch Produce 101), had no idea Sejeong was gonna be my favorite idol forever. Lol I even remember thinking that the yellow shirt girl was annoying, that Somi was too hype with her dance compared to others, and goddam why is that girl in red and white stripes (yup Doyeon) an idol and not a model , only to end up letting them grow into my most loved girl-group of all time.
Now, after a year following them, each and every one is full of character and personality in my eyes, it's an overwhelming feeling. Ahahaha Im so petty that I havent yet finished listening to 'Downpour', cos then I would finish listening to every possible song they've sang in this short and long year.
If I have a wish which actually comes true, I'd pray that, just like Infinite Challenge's ToToGa (Idk it in english sorry), I hope you all reunite one day and show us your amazing performances once more.
It was a bright and exciting year thanks to you IOI,
Goodbye for now.
