Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Along like a snowflake, and brightened up my day
[Taeyeon] There is just one thing I need on this snowy winter day
Call me a fool to love you, but I want nothing but you
[Sooyoung] All I have to hear your voice, the one that brings me joy
[Seohyun] And your warmth slowly wraps around my heart... Boy, can't you
See?
[All] The lights are shining on me, and it's like a diamond
I'm spinning around, rocking around like a diamond
[Yuri] That's because I'm filled with emotions
[Jessica] Everybody's waiting for the holidays
Candies and toys of silver trays
And there is one thing special... Boy, you are my present
[Sunny] There is just one thing I need on this snowy winter day
Call me a fool to love you, but I want nothing but you
[Yoona] All I have to hear your voice, the one that brings me joy
[Yuri] And your warmth slowly wraps around my heart... Boy, can't you see?
[All] The lights are shining on me, and it's like a diamond
I'm spinning around, rocking around like a diamond
[Hyoyeon] That's because I'm filled with emotions
[Sunny] That's because I'm filled with emotions
[Seohyun] You're shining, you're gleaming
Oh, you melt me like white snow, oh
[Tiffany] You're shining, you're gleaming
[Taeyeon] And your warmth slowly wraps around my heart
Boy, can't you see! ~
[All] The lights are shining on me, and it's like a diamond
I'm spinning around, rocking around like diamonds
[Jessica] To your heart~
[All] The lights are shining on me, and it's like a diamond
I'm spinning around, rocking around like a diamond
[Jessica] That's because I'm filled with emotions
[Tiffany] That's because I'm filled with emotions
The Girls' Generation (少女時代)'s song "I'm a Diamond" is a love song that talks about the happiness and joy that comes with being in love with someone. The song starts with Tiffany singing about how the snowflakes have come, and how they have brightened up her day. She is grateful that her lover is with her, and she wants nothing but her love. Taeyeon joins in the second verse and confirms that all she needs on this snowy winter day is her lover. The chorus says that the lights are shining on them, and they are shining like diamonds because they are filled with emotions.
Sooyoung continues to sing that all she needs is to hear her lover's voice, the one that brings her joy, and she feels a warmth wrapping around her heart. Seohyun joins Sooyoung in the next verse and confirms that her lover is slowly wrapping around her heart. Everyone sings in unison that they are spinning and rocking around like diamonds because they are filled with emotions.
Jessica sings that everybody is waiting for the holidays, candies and toys on silver trays, but the one thing that is special to her is her lover. Sunny continues the same lyrics as Tiffany and Taeyeon, saying that all she needs is her lover's love. Yoona joins in singing that all she needs is to hear her lover's voice, and Yuri confirms that her lover's warmth is wrapping around her heart. They all say that they are shining and gleaming like diamonds because their lover melts them like white snow.
The song's main message is the happiness that comes with being in love. The metaphors of snowflakes, winter, and diamonds convey the idea of purity, beauty, and endurance associated with love. The chorus has a powerful effect with the repetition of "I'm spinning around, rocking around like a diamond," showing the immensity and endlessness of love. The vocal harmonies are soothing and peaceful, just like the snowflakes that make everything clean around us.

The song "T.O.P" and "I'm a Diamond" are the most debated SNSD songs because there is a lot of speculation from fans about who sings parts of the song. Sometimes there are exchanged and misplaced. The only way to see SNSD appear again and bring it with an individual camera clear. 😭🤣
