No. New York
BOøWY Lyrics

The lyrics of Boøwy’s song “NO. NEW YORK” describe a beautiful and confident woman who gets ready to go out and conquer the world. The opening lines state that she takes a shower and sprays her perfume while winking, which implies that she is aware of her stunning presence and has the power to make an impact without making an effort. The repeated phrase “美しい顔” (“beautiful face”) emphasizes that her face is her most valuable asset, and it is almost goddess-like in its captivating quality. She puts on makeup and a dress, steps out onto the street and invites men to approach her.

The chorus repeats twice with the phrase “New York, New York” as its central theme. It suggests that if she falls in love with someone in New York, she will become a star. Perhaps this implies that New York is the city of dreams where anyone can achieve greatness or that love from the right person can propel her to stardom. The final lines simply reinforce the idea that loving the right person in New York is enough to become a star. The song has a confident and upbeat tone throughout and emphasizes the power of being beautiful and striking.
