Spotlight~
Go~ yeah
[Verse 1]
Kari hajime no eikō no hibi ni
I know! Don’t you know?
You know! kyōmi nai
I know! Don’t you know?
Madowasa nai de yo
Noisy! jōshiki no koe ni
Kikiaki ta nara mimi o fusai de
Going! kakenukeru yo
Believe in my way
[Chorus]
Kimi no hitomi ga kon Spotlight
Watashi o kagayakaseru
Sekaijū no Spotlight
Watashi no subete Check shi te yo
Haruka na yume Spotlight
Tōku ni kirameiteru
Jibun dake no Spotlight
Mabatakise zu ni Check shi te yo
Oh Woo Woo~ yeah Oh~
[Verse 2]
Akogareru dake no mirai ja
I know! Don’t you know?
You know! imi ga nai
Unmei wa hitotsu ja nai no
I know! Don’t you know?
[Liz/E-Y] jama o shi nai de yo
Noisy! amai sasayaki ni
Yureru kokoro o furuitataseru
Going! tsukisusumu yo
Believe in my way
[Chorus]
Kimi no hitomi ga kon Spotlight
Watashi o kagayakaseru
Sekaijū no Spotlight
Watashi dake o Check shi te yo
Haruka na yume Spotlight
Tōku ni kirameiteru
Jibun dake no Spotlight
Nogasa nai de Check shi te yo
[Bridge]
Moeru yō na Spotlight
Tokeru yō na Spotlight
Mitsume te Spotlight
Check shi te yo

Kimi no hitomi ga kon Spotlight
Watashi o kagayakaseru

Watashi dake o Check shi te yo
Haruka na yume Spotlight
Tōku ni kirameiteru

Nogasa nai de Check shi te yo
The song, Spotlight by After School, is about a girl who desires to stand out in the world and be noticed, to be the center of attention. The lyrics encourage the listeners to believe in themselves and their abilities, to be confident, and to step into the spotlight. The song is an upbeat, dance-pop track with an infectious melody that makes it a fan favorite.
The first verse of the song sets the tone for the entire track. The singer acknowledges that she is starting her journey towards greatness and wants nothing to hold her back. The lyrics say, "I know! Don't you know? You know! Kyōmi nai/Shinjitsu wa itsumo hitotsu yo/I know! Don't you know? Madowasa nai de yo" [I know! Don't you know? You know! There's no interest/The truth is always one/I know! Don't you know? Don't get confused]. This verse suggests that she may have doubts about herself, but she is still confident that she will make it in the end.
The chorus expresses the wish of a girl to be under the spotlight so that her qualities can be illuminated. Her wish is to be recognized not only in her surroundings but also around the world. The lyrics, "Kimi no hitomi ga kon Spotlight/Watashi o kagayakaseru" [Your eyes turn into the spotlight/I shine/Worldwide spotlight/Check me out] indicate this desire. The bridge reiterates this idea, and the outro emphasizes her wish and eagerness to rise to the pinnacle of success.
