Ugly
투애니원 2NE1 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
내 맘에 들지 않아
난 예쁘지 않아 아름답지 않아
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
노랠 불러보지만
아무도 듣지 않아
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh
난 왜 이렇게 못난 걸까
어떡하면 나도 너처럼
환하게 웃어볼 수 있을까
또 화가나 왜 늘 완벽하지 못해
이 깨진 거울 속 못난 모습을 향해
탓하기만 해
쳐다보지마 지금 이 느낌이 싫어 난
어디론가 숨고만 싶어 벗어 나고 싶어
이 세상은 거짓말
I think I'm ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty
I wanna be pretty
Don't lie to my face
Tellin' me I'm pretty
I think I'm ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty
I wanna be pretty
Don't lie to my face
'Cause I know I'm ugly
날 쉽게 이해한다고 하지마
못 생기고 삐뚤어진 내 마음이 널
원망할지도 몰라
말 시키지마 난 너와 어울리지 못해
그 잘난 눈빛 속 차가운 가식이 날
숨막히게 해
다가오지마 너의 관심조차 싫어 난
어디론가 떠나고 싶어 소리 치고 싶어
이 세상은 거짓말
I think I'm ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty
I wanna be pretty
Don't lie to my face
Tellin' me I'm pretty
I think I'm ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty
I wanna be pretty
Don't lie to my face
'Cause I know I'm ugly
All alone, I'm all alone
All alone, I'm all alone
따뜻함이란 없어
곁엔 아무도 없어
All alone, I'm all alone
I'm always all alone
All alone
따뜻함이란 없어
곁엔 그 누구도 날 안아줄 사람 없어
I think I'm ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty
I wanna be pretty
Don't lie to my face
Tellin' me I'm pretty
I think I'm ugly
And nobody wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty
I wanna be pretty
Don't lie to my face
'Cause I know I'm ugly
The song UGLY by 2NE1 delves into societal expectations of beauty and the insecurities that arise when someone feels like they don't fit those expectations. The singer tries to put on a happy face and sing songs but deep down, they feel like they are not pretty or beautiful. They ask themselves why they are so ugly and wonder if they can ever smile as brilliantly as others. The singer also gets angry at themselves for not being perfect, blaming themselves for their own insecurities.
The chorus reaffirms the singer's feelings of ugliness and unlovability, and they want someone to acknowledge those feelings instead of lying by telling them they are pretty. The singer feels like they don't deserve love because they are not pretty, and they resent that easily understanding others might also find them unattractive. They also feel like they cannot keep up with others' expectations of beauty and that their lack of beauty makes them unworthy of love.
The song expresses an important message about beauty standards and how harmful they can be. It highlights how our own self-doubt and societal pressures can lead us to feel so negatively about ourselves. The song also urges listeners to recognize that everyone deserves love, regardless of societal beauty standards.

또 화가나 왜 늘 완벽하지 못해
It makes me angry why I'm never perfect
이 깨진 거울 속 못난 모습을 향해 탓하기만 해
I blame myself for the ugly reflection in this broken mirror
쳐다보지마 지금 이 느낌이 싫어 난
Don't look at me, I hate how I feel now

이 세상은 거짓말
This world is a lie
날 쉽게 이해한다고 하지마
Don't say you understand me easily
못 생기고 삐뚤어진 내 마음이 널 원망할지도 몰라
My ugly and twisted heart might resent you
말 시키지마 난 너와 어울리지 못해
Don't make me talk, I can't fit in with you

The cold pretense in your confident gaze suffocates me
다가오지마 너의 관심조차 싫어 난
Don't come closer, I hate even your attention
어디론가 떠나고 싶어 소리 치고 싶어
I want to go somewhere else, I want to scream
All alone, I'm always all alone
I'm always alone
따뜻함이란 없어 곁엔 아무도 없어
There's no warmth, no one by my side
I think I'm ugly And nobody wants to love me
I believe I'm ugly and no one wants to love me
Just like her I wanna be pretty
I want to be pretty like her
Don't lie to my face Tellin' me I'm pretty
Don't lie to me saying I'm pretty
'Cause I know I'm ugly
Because I know I'm ugly

I hope that 2NE1 knows that they are pretty... I think they still have trauma, because YG kept calling them ugly and a lot people called them ugly too... 2NE1 YOU ARE NOT UGLY💙😭

This song isn't "telling" you that "oh, you should love yourself, you're not ugly!". It's evident many people don't get it because of all the negativity against the song.
EX: " They're saying _____ yet the got plastic surgery and wear pounds of make up" Are you serious?
This song is expressing the desire, the battle, the pain to want to be up to the standard of not only "beautiful" but "perfect" in all aspects.
Singing "I want to be pretty" directly means that, "I want to be pretty". Simple as that, it reflects the minds of the young and old generation.
This song does not give you a real message, you have to figure it out yourself by looking at the reflection they make of all the girls out there. This is a reflection, not a message.
