If I Become An Adult
Bonusbaby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
고민고민 해봐도
도통 알 수 없는
내 맘을 그 누가 알아줄까
NONONONONONO
아빠는 몰라
NONONONONONO
맨날 맨날 맨날 고민하는 내 맘
키가 커서 어른이 된다면
맘 속 몰래몰래몰래
간직해둔 나의 비밀을
아무도 모르게 네게 말해줄게
일기장에 숨긴 내 맘을
어머! 부끄러워도 아잉!
쑥쓰러워도 이 담에
사랑은 몰라도
가슴이 두근두근 오
작다고 놀리지 말아요
나도 다 안다구요
NONONONONONO
엄만 날더러
NONONONONONO
언닌 날더러
맨날 맨날 맨날 너도 크면 안대
키가 커서 어른이 된다면
맘 속 몰래 몰래 몰래
간직해둔 나의 비밀을
아무도 모르게 네게 말해줄게
일기장에 숨긴 내 맘을
어머! 부끄러워도 아잉!
쑥쓰러워도 이 다음에
저 하늘 새처럼 내 꿈을 안고서
멀리 멀리 멀리 날아 보고 싶어
소리쳐 외치고파 더 크게
내 맘속 깊이 깊이 깊이
품어놓은 나만의 비밀을
오오오 언젠가
우리가 어른이 되는 날
다시 만나는 그 날 다시
손잡는 그 날 말해줄게
The lyrics of BONUSbaby's song "If I Become An Adult" talks about the anxieties and worries that many young people face as they grow older and become adults. The song's main theme is the idea that despite growing older, there are still secrets and emotions that are hidden deep inside, and that it can be difficult to share them with others. The lyrics express the desire to hold onto these secrets and emotions, and to find someone who will understand and accept them.
The song’s chorus repeats the words “NO, NO, NO, NO, NO,” with the lines “Dad doesn’t know” and “Big brother doesn’t know”. The repetition of these lines emphasizes the idea that even those closest to you may not truly understand the inner struggles one is facing. The chorus then shifts to the lines “Mom will know” and “Sister will know,” implying that it may be easier to confide in someone of the same gender.
The verses of the song express the desire to hold onto the secrets and feelings that are hidden away, as well as the hope that, one day, they will be able to share them with someone they can truly trust. The lyrics also touch on the fear of being judged or laughed at, as the singer begs not to be made fun of for having these feelings.
Overall, "If I Become An Adult" is a relatable song that expresses the universal feeling of holding onto secrets and the fear of being misunderstood. It speaks to the emotions and anxieties that many young people face as they grow older and navigate the complexities of becoming an adult.

Puteri Balqish i immediatly thought this sounded and looked like a japnese girl group song. only difference is probably the language.

This song is going right on to my "feel good" playlist, and may stay there permanently! :)
@user-gx1kj9nt5o
It’s kpop song but there visual really looks like Japanes and Korean feel like What in the world is this m dance and lyrics and music video
@yauwboseyo
really sad that this kind of concept is not really popular in Kpop, while actually this kind of song is what I really want to hear more in Kpop
@riverojenahmariez.5395
It was popular in Apink, GFriend era but when Blacpink came, the trend turned into baddass girl crush with rap
@vitor5085
It was the biggest concept until blackpink cames... When they came they spread the girl crush virus everywhere and almost every cute concept group disbanded, re-debuted or change the concept due that... I also miss so much this..
@nicksmith6354
Yeah, cute concepts for girl groups are considered old hat now. Meanwhile, boy groups are still just rehashing what the Backstreet Boys were doing 25 years ago and that's fine, apparently.
