The song "Tell Me" by the Wonder Girls expresses the anxious and excited emotions that come with being in love. The opening lines, sung by SunMi, illustrate her confusion and indecisiveness as she realizes that she is starting to develop strong feelings for someone, but she doesn't quite know what to do about it. SoHee's verse reflects her growing frustration as she grapples with the uncertainty of not knowing whether or not the person she loves feels the same way about her. YooBin's rap brings a playful, teasing energy to the song, as she challenges her love interest to come forward and admit his feelings for her. The chorus, sung by all of the members, is a repeated plea for their love interest to open up and express his love for them.
The lyrics of "Tell Me" showcase the typical pop music themes of love and romance, but the song's catchy melody and playful energy set it apart from other love songs. The use of repetitive phrases and sounds ("Tell me, tell me, T-T-T-T-T-Tell me") creates a fun, lighthearted vibe that makes the song instantly memorable. The Wonder Girls were one of the most popular and influential K-Pop groups in the late 2000s and early 2010s, and "Tell Me" is one of their signature songs that helped solidify their place in K-Pop history.

WHY ARE YOU HERE?
@maddiej2165
Fun fact: Wonder Girls hated this song so much that they actually begged JYP not to release it. Imagine if JYP agreed then this legendary masterpiece wouldn’t be here
@rachelcookie321
Well I understand, they probably found it incredibly annoying after having to listen to it hundreds of times while practicing
@IFunMaker
They can be proud still one of the best k pop Song for me
@avocadose5696
IM GLAD JYP POST IT this is a masterpiece
