English:
When I fall, I laugh louder, wake up
When I fall, I'm higher cuz my name is HI
I'm in a place where there's music, Music is my life
Though I'm in a deep darkness, I shine I'm a STAR!
On clubs, in a distance and even on phone
Up to this moment when they hear my voice
A lot of tears and sweat flows
Remember that, you can't forget that
Turn it up raise your hands, raise 'em HI!
Close your eyes and let music and you be one.
Right, at this moment say my name. HI

this is the type of music Lee Hi should be releasing. especially as her main singles. the girl is young and should be given fun songs with strong beats that allow her to showcase her massive voice. I feel that she could do really well with Rihanna type of songs
@MarianaBuhl3
exactly!!! those are the songs she should from now on!!! YG must really let her showcase her talent like that otherwise, she would be another wasted talent falling into "kpop average standards" when she is so much more. Just sayin
@eliziticamd
should have been a full song...
should have been a full song ....
damn you YG
@enigmaohawaii
