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.
Too Good to Me
EXID Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
나도 모르게 딴 마음을 먹게 돼
'Cause you are too good, good to me, yeah
이런 날 내버려둬 날 좀 밀어내줘 yeah
지겨워 네 말투 행동 모두가 다
그래 넌 참 착하긴 하지만
가끔 난 모든 게 재미없어져 꺼져
사실 말하자면 요새 모든 게 다 귀찮아졌지
매일 밤 오던 전화 더는 안 받고 싶어졌지 (nope)
나도 내가 왜 이런지 몰라 근데 왜 넌 (왜 넌)
내가 뭐가 좋다고 이리 잘해줘 나만 나빠 또
You are too good to me
나도 모르게 딴 마음을 먹게 돼
'Cause you are too good, good to me, yeah
이런 날 내버려둬 날 좀 밀어내줘 yeah
You are too good to me
제발 그러지 말아줘 하지 말아줘
'Cause you are too good, good to me, yeah
그러지 말아줘 미워해줘 baby
처음엔 마냥 좋았어
네가 날 위해 해주는 모든 게 yeah
하지만 이젠 알았지 그 모든 게
내가 원한 건 아니란 걸 baby
난 좋은 선물해달라고 한 적도 없어 (hey, 싫어)
딴 데서 놀지 말아달라고 부탁한 적도 없어 (no, no)
그래 이게 다 너의 만족이었던거야 (so selfish)
난 너의 암묵적인 강요에 지쳐버린거야 ah ah
You are too good to me
나도 모르게 딴 마음을 먹게 돼
'Cause you are too good, good to me, yeah
이런 날 내버려둬 날 좀 밀어내줘 yeah
You are too good to me
제발 그러지 말아줘 하지 말아줘
'Cause you are too good, good to me, yeah
그러지 말아줘 미워해줘 baby
다들 말해 익숙함에 속아
소중한걸 잃지마
하지만 네 익숙함 땜에
나를 잃어버릴 것 같아
You are too good to me (too good to me, yeah)
나도 모르게 딴 마음을 먹게 돼
'Cause you are too good, good to me, yeah (too, too)
이런 날 내버려둬 날 좀 밀어내줘 yeah
You are too good to me
제발 그러지 말아줘 하지 말아줘
'Cause you are too good, good to me, yeah
그러지 말아줘 미워해줘 baby
처음부터 다 꼬여있던거야
But 이제와 풀기엔 너무 늦은거야
The lyrics of "Too Good to Me" by EXID convey a sense of pressure and guilt placed on the singer by a partner who is excessively kind and giving. The lyrics begin with the singer admitting that the partner is "too good" to her, causing her to feel confused and conflicted about her own feelings. Despite the partner's kindness, the singer is feeling suffocated and overwhelmed by their constant attention and affection, as well as the monotony of their relationship. She feels that she is losing her sense of self, and that the partner is withholding affection from her in order to keep her dependent on him or her.
Throughout the song, the singer begins to realize that she has been trapped in an unhealthy relationship, but struggles to extricate herself from it. She recognizes that her partner's behavior is self-serving, and that he or she is using their kindness as a way of manipulating her. The singer asks the partner to give her space and to stop being so kind to her, though she also acknowledges that she still has feelings for him or her. Ultimately, the singer is torn between wanting to leave the relationship and feeling guilty for wanting to hurt her partner.
Overall, "Too Good to Me" is a powerful exploration of the ways in which excessive kindness and generosity can actually be used as tools for control and manipulation within a romantic relationship. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has ever been in a relationship that left them feeling suffocated or unsure of themselves.
