The members of the group were promoted using various meanings (digital single, sub-unit activities and even MCing) and did so during many months prior to debut, getting them a lot of attention from the media. On January 8th, 2012, the first episode of their pre-debut reality show MTV “Ta-Dah! It’s B.A.P” aired, revealing the remaining three members to the public. Their first single “WARRIOR” was released on January 26th 2012 and they officially debuted on January 27th 2012 on KBS Music Bank, followed on the 28th by a huge showcase held at the Jangchung Gymnasium, where more than 3,000 fans attended. They secured their spot as rookies who brightly shined the 2012 music industry by sweeping the rookie awards for various end-of-the-year award ceremonies. On February 12th, 2014, B.A.P won their first public broadcast win, two years after debuting, at MBC Show Champion with their title song "1004 (Angel)". After 7 years together, B.A.P decided to disband in 2019.
Hands Up
B.A.P Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Go hands up
Go hands up
Go hands up
냉정한 시선들의
여긴 live time live time
각자만의 길을 걷고
꿈은 biggest 조각이 나도 커
넌 노력도 없이 열망해 get fever and failed cut
난 일상이 시선을 끌지
확실한 시안에 내 기대치는 good see ya
아무 이유 없이 허전해진 맘이
지쳤다는 이유로
곧 끝이라 말할 수는 없어
못다 핀 꽃을 피워
의지할 곳을 찾아서
손을 뻗어 hands up
A yo 이 순간 너를 믿어
두 손은 저 하늘 위로 (ay)
꿈을 향해 hands up (ay) hoo
A yo 움츠려 왔던 어제의
하늘 끝 높이 닿게
빛을 향해 hands up (hands up, hands up)
Go hands up
Go hands up
Ooh 모두 멍청하길 원해
Keep on risin' yo risin'
원래 진짜 답은 없네
애초에 문제 따윈 없었으니 널 꺼내
똑바로 봐 (봐) let's look around
전부 갇힌 사고방식들을 벗어나
우릴 죽이는 편협한 생각과 시선
거울에 비친 진짜 너에게 hands up
별빛 하나 없이 불이 꺼진 밤이
어둡다는 이유로
그 자리에 멈춰설 순 없어
갇혔던 너를 깨워
더 높이 고갤 들고서
손을 뻗어 hands up (hands up)
A yo 이 순간 너를 믿어
두 손은 저 하늘 위로 (ay)
꿈을 향해 hands up (ay) hoo
A yo 움츠려 왔던 어제의
하늘 끝 높이 닿게
빛을 향해 hands up (hands up, hands up)
Go hands up
Go hands up
보이지 않는 이 길 끝에서
다가올 빛을 기다려
눈을 감고 기대 나에게
저 찬란함은 생각보다 더
한걸음 닿을 거리에 있어 믿어 (믿어)
A yo 이 순간 우릴 믿어
소리쳐 저 하늘 위로
너를 던져 내일을 위한 정적
두 손 잡고 hands up
We gon' be like whoa (hoo)
A yo 하나가 되는 소리
어둠을 밝힐 때까지
별을 건져 온몸에 네가 번져
두 손 잡고 hands up
I'ma shine like whoa (hands up, hands up)
Go hands up
Hands up come on
Go hands up
Everybody hands up
Go hands up
Hands up come on
Go hands up
