Hyuna first rose to fame in the Korean girl group Wonder Girls, before she left in 2007. In 2008, she signed with Cube Entertainment and subsequently debuted with 4Minute a year later. Their debut single, "Hot Issue", was immediately successful as it grabbed attention from the public even before their debut stage. In 2018, Hyuna ended her contract with Cube Entertainment after several internal conflicts, and signed with PSY's P Nation the following year.
She also has a notable solo career, having several hit songs such as "Bubble Pop", "Ice Cream", "Red", "Roll Deep" and "How's This?". She is also well known for her appearance in PSY's worldwide hit, "Gangnam Style", which also led to a successful duet rendition of the song. She describes her solo career as "performance-oriented music."

Hey, hey, come on, yes sir
Left, left, fine, fine, huh, huh
Come on, yes sir, oh oh
Yo 그 누가 날 누가 밀어내 자신있다면 언제든 도전해
굳이 안봐도 넌 불가능해 뻔해 한방이면 K.O.
굳이 안봐도 절대 불가능해 뻔해 한방이면 K.O.
쉽게 넘볼자리가 아니야

숨이 벅차지만 아직 거뜬해 내게 까불다간 K.O.
어디 그 누구든 나를 밀어내 아직까지도 난 내게 도전해
뭐든 억지로 해선 불가능해 내게 까불다간 K.O.

The lyrics to 현아's song "Straight Up" is a song about being confident in one's own abilities and being unmovable from one's position. The first four lines are a hype-up chant, urging the listener to pay attention and be ready to take action. The first verse speaks to anyone who wants to challenge the singer, saying that they are impossible to beat and one punch is enough to knock them out. The second verse reiterates the same message, saying that even if someone tries to push her out of her place, she will always be ready to defend herself and any attempt to bring her down will lead to failure. The chorus also emphasizes that she is not easily moved, and no one should underestimate her.
Overall, the song is a confident and empowering anthem that encourages people to believe in themselves and their abilities. The repetition of the words "yes sir" and "ey" creates a sense of urgency and determination, while the use of "K.O." and the "one punch" imagery emphasize the singer's strength and resilience.
