UGLY
2NE1 투애니원 Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

밝게 웃어보지만
내 맘에 들지 않아
난 예쁘지 않아 아름답지 않아
Oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh

노랠 불러보지만
아무도 듣지 않아
난 예쁘지 않아 아름답지 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

Overall Meaning

The song "Ugly" by 2NE1 is a powerful and emotional song about struggling with self-esteem issues and feeling unattractive. The lyrics express the singer's frustration and sadness as she tries to hide her true feelings behind a fake smile, but deep down she knows that she is not pretty or beautiful. The lyrics also express the desire to be accepted and loved just like everyone else, and the pain of feeling rejected and alone.


The chorus of the song repeatedly emphasizes the singer's low self-esteem and negative self-image, with lines such as "I think I'm ugly, and nobody wants to love me" and "just like her, I wanna be pretty." The song highlights the societal pressure to conform to unrealistic beauty standards and the damaging effects these standards can have on one's self-confidence.


The lyrics also touch on the themes of isolation and loneliness, with lines such as "all alone, I'm always all alone" and "warmth doesn't exist, no one is by my side." This further emphasizes the singer's feelings of sadness and desperation.


Overall, "Ugly" is a moving song that addresses important themes of self-esteem, beauty standards, and the struggle to find acceptance and love.

쳐다보지마 지금 이 느낌이 싫어 난
Don't look at me now, I hate this feeling


어디론가 숨고만 싶어 벗어 나고 싶어 이 세상은 거짓말

Don't come near me, I hate even your attention. I want to go somewhere else, to scream out loud. This world is a lie

All alone, I'm all alone. There's no warmth, and there's no one by my side

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.
