Overall Meaning

The song "U & I" by Ailee is a powerful and emotional song about a relationship that has gone sour. In the opening verse, Ailee expresses frustration and confusion over why her partner is behaving in a hurtful manner towards her. She asks why he is saying hurtful things, and begs him to stop so they can just talk things out. In the chorus, she expresses her desire for the relationship to work, but also acknowledges that there are numerous obstacles in their way.


The second verse continues to describe the problems in the relationship, with Ailee feeling tired of all the lies and excuses that her partner is telling her. She reaches a breaking point and demands that he leave her alone. The bridge of the song is particularly poignant, with Ailee confessing that she is crying over her failed relationship, but ultimately deciding that she is going to be okay. The song ends on an optimistic note, with Ailee and her partner agreeing to work together to make their relationship better.

Hey, oh my my, come on get dirty, hah!
Hey hey, yeah
Huh, cut the beat now
Wait a minute, wait a minute 말 잘라 미안한데
왜 이러니 왜 이러니 자꾸 똑같은 말
우리 중 하난 먼저 얘기해야 돼
여기서 우리 그만 끝내
이제 그만 싸우고 싶어 하루도
그냥 넘어가는 일이 없어
내 하루가 의미 없어
1분 1초도 웃을 일 없어
더는 자신이 없어 오늘은 내가 말할래
네가 어디서 뭘 하던 상관 안 할래
가던 말던 네 맘대로 해
매번 지겹도록 반복되는 everyday you and I, you and I, you and I
Wait a minute Wait a minute 내게서 떨어져줄래
왜 이러니 왜이러니 이 손 놓고 말해
몇 번을 들어도 네 말은 거기서 거기
Tired of all your lies and excuses now just get out my face
되돌릴 수 없어 예전으로
남보다 못한 사이가 됐어 우린 서로 부담이 됐어
너 말곤 내게 아무도 없어
더는 상관이 없어 그냥 너에게 말할래
네가 어디서 뭘 하던 상관 안 할래
가던 말던 네 맘대로 해
매번 지겹도록 반복되는 everyday you and I, you and I, you and I
네가 없는 이 곳에 남겨진 내가 울고 있을 거라 생각하겠지만
나는 괜찮아 반복 될 일 없을 테니까
너와 나 여기서 그만
네가 어디서 뭘 하던 상관 안 할래
가던 말던 네 맘대로 해
매번 지겹도록 반복되는 everyday you and I, you and I, you and I

Thank you so much! I couldn’t figure out why one of my videos in my playlist was gone and this is why. I can’t believe they deleted the channel. It wasn’t hurting anything 😭

Happy 9 year anniversary to this song! Too bad the original isn't still up, but thank you for reuploading it.

@Miguoguo

Even the music from eleven years ago will still be quite explosive in 2024! Have to admire❤❤
