They made their official debut on February 16, 2012 with their single HOLLA, promoting the title track, "Whoz That Girl". The group originally debuted with six members, but three members (Yuzi, Dami and Haeryung) decided to leave the group two months after the group's debut, and were replaced by two new members, Hyerin and Solji. Later, the members who left re-debuted in BESTie under YNB Entertainment.

On August 24, 2014, EXID held their comeback showcase at the Ilchi Art Hall, performing their new song "위아래 (Up & Down)". The song was released on August 27 and initially charted poorly, failing to make it on the top 100 on the Gaon Chart; though it peaked at number 94 on the domestic chart. However, the song slowly gained popularity in late November after a fan-cam of member Hani performing the song went viral on Korean social networking websites. This lead to the song shooting back up on the music charts, eventually climbing up into the top 10 on the real-time charts and topping the Gaon Chart.

EXID Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜

Ok 또 늦는다고 언제나 그렇듯
일이 늦어졌지
I try being cool
언제나 그렇듯 괜찮은 척했지
남들에겐 그 흔한 연락도
필수가 아닌 선택이 돼버린지

꽤 오래됐지 이젠
화가 나지 않아 웬일인지

왜 내가 당연히 참아야 되니
왜 내가 당연히 이해해야 되니
넌 이걸 알아야 돼
너 정말 이러면 안 돼
내가 언제든 널 떠날 수도 있다고

내가 당연해 넌 왜 (넌 왜)
내가 잘해줄수록 널 더 좋아할수록
그게 당연해 넌 왜 (넌 왜)
이제 그만할래
이제 정말 그만할게 no

눈감아줬지 친구라고 우기는
여자와의 연락
언제든 취소가 가능해진
중요치 않은 나와의 선약
Boy, I know you can do better
배려와 매너 내게 전화해 밤새우던
그때의 네가 그리워서 널 그리면서
오늘도 난 뜬눈으로 밤새워

왜 내가 당연히 참아야 되니
왜 내가 당연히 기다려야 되니
넌 이걸 알아야 돼
너 정말 이러면 안 돼
내가 언제든 널 떠날 수도 있다고

내가 당연해 넌 왜 (넌 왜)
내가 잘해줄수록 널 더 좋아할수록
그게 당연해 넌 왜 (넌 왜)
이제 그만할래
이제 정말 그만할게 no

내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜
내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜
내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜
내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜

내가 아무리 더 노력한대도
널 바꿀 수 없단 것도 잘 알아
이제 좀 아닌 것 같아
이게 끝인 것 같아
너와의 만남이 길어질수록

내가 당연해 넌 왜 (넌 왜)
내가 잘해줄수록 널 더 좋아할수록
그게 당연해 넌 왜 (넌 왜)
이제 그만할래
이제 정말 그만할게 no

내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜
내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜

내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜
내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "No Way" by EXID express feelings of frustration and disappointment in a relationship where the singer feels taken for granted. The song starts off with the singer acknowledging that they often make excuses for their partner's behavior, trying to remain cool and pretending that everything is okay. However, they have reached a point where they are no longer angry about it, but instead, they question why they should have to tolerate and understand their partner's actions.

The chorus asks why the singer has to bear the burden of understanding and accepting their partner's behavior. They express that it is expected of them to love their partner more when they are treated well, but question why that is the norm. They finally decide that they have had enough and are ready to let go of the relationship.

Throughout the song, the singer reflects on moments when they were understanding and patient, even when their partner canceled plans or made them feel unimportant. However, they realize that no matter how much effort they put in, they cannot change their partner and they feel that the relationship has come to an end.

내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜
Why do you think I should always just accept it and not question anything?

Ok 또 늦는다고 언제나 그렇듯 일이 늦어졌지
As usual, things got delayed and you're telling me it's okay

I try being cool 언제나 그렇듯 괜찮은 척했지
Just like always, I pretended to be okay and tried to stay cool

남들에겐 그 흔한 연락도 필수가 아닌 선택이 돼버린지
Even a simple contact with others has become an optional choice, not a necessity

꽤 오래됐지 이젠 화가 나지 않아 웬일인지
It's been quite a while since I last got angry, I wonder why

왜 내가 당연히 참아야 되니
Why am I expected to always just bear with it?

왜 내가 당연히 이해해야 되니
Why am I expected to always just understand?

넌 이걸 알아야 돼
You need to know this

너 정말 이러면 안 돼
You really can't keep doing this

내가 언제든 널 떠날 수도 있다고
I could leave you at any moment

내가 잘해줄수록 널 더 좋아할수록
The more I treat you well, the more I like you

이게 당연해 넌 왜
This is a given, why don't you understand?

이제 그만할래 이제 정말 그만할게 no
I'm done now, I really want to stop, no more

눈감아줬지 친구라고 우기는 여자와의 연락
I turned a blind eye to your contacts with other girls, claiming they were just friends

언제든 취소가 가능해진 중요치 않은 나와의 선약
Our casual plans became easily cancelable and unimportant

Boy, I know you can do better
Boy, I know you're capable of doing better

배려와 매너 내게 전화해 밤새우던
The consideration and manners you used to call me with, staying up all night

그때의 네가 그리워서 널 그리면서
I miss the you from back then, while sketching out your image

오늘도 난 뜬눈으로 밤새워
Tonight, I stay awake with my eyes wide open

내가 아무리 더 노력한대도 널 바꿀 수 없단 것도 잘 알아
Even if I try my best, I know I can't change you

이제 좀 아닌 것 같아 이게 끝인 것 같아
It doesn't feel right anymore, it feels like this is the end

너와의 만남이 길어질수록
The longer we stay together

내가 당연해 넌 왜
Why do you think I should always just accept it and not question anything?

내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜
Why do you think I should always just accept it and not question anything?

내가 아무리 더 노력한대도 널 바꿀 수 없단 것도 잘 알아
Even if I try my best, I know I can't change you

이제 좀 아닌 것 같아 이게 끝인 것 같아
It doesn't feel right anymore, it feels like this is the end

너와의 만남이 길어질수록
The longer we stay together

내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜
Why do you think I should always just accept it and not question anything?

내가 잘해줄수록 널 더 좋아할수록
The more I treat you well, the more I like you

그게 당연해 넌 왜
This is a given, why don't you understand?

이제 그만할래 이제 정말 그만할게 no
I'm done now, I really want to stop, no more

내가 당연해 당연해 넌 왜
Why do you think I should always just accept it and not question anything?
