CHERRY
ITZY Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Leggo 날 그냥 놔둬
순진한 angel보단 devil
봐둬 똑바로 봐둬
말 안 듣는 애 그게 나라고

다 나를 위해 하는 말이래
나조차 나를 잘 모르는데
틀에 날 맞추진 말아줄래
이젠 내 멋대로 놀아볼래

놀랐니 마치 bubble gum pop
규칙을 다 깨버린 나니까
진짜 나를 보여줄 테니까
Really really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah

내가 원한 것만 해
넌 거기 앉아 지켜보면 돼
Really really me, I'm a cherry on top
너무 뻔한 건 다 저리 치워봐봐
생각보다 꿈이 좀 높아
Really really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah

Really really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah

Someone 빛나는 someone
자꾸 되래 그게 누구길래
여기 난 one and only
나답게 난 그대로 특별해

똑같은 것들 너무 식상해
완전히 새로운 걸 찾을래
알잖아 그게 내 매력인데
이런 거 나 아니면 누가 해

놀랐니 마치 bubble gum pop
규칙을 다 깨버린 나니까
진짜 나를 보여줄 테니까
Really really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah

상상 이상을 줄게
내 뒤로 그냥 따라오면 돼
Really really me, I'm a cherry on top
너무 뻔한 건 다 저리 치워봐봐
생각보다 꿈이 좀 높아
Really really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah

Really really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah

나이고 싶어 해답은 simple
지금 맘이 원하는 걸 해

놀랐니 마치 bubble gum pop
규칙을 다 깨버린 나니까
진짜 나를 보여줄 테니까
Really really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah
Really really me, I'm a cherry on top
너무 뻔한 건 다 저리 치워봐봐
생각보다 꿈이 좀 높아
Really really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah





Really really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah
Really really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "CHERRY" by ITZY is an anthem for being unapologetically yourself, not conforming to societal norms and being confident in one's individuality. The song emphasizes the importance of not trying to fit into any "mold" or follow anyone else's path, but rather paving your own way and living life according to your own desires. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of their unconventional and rebellious nature, but they see themselves as a "cherry on top," something that adds a unique and valuable perspective to the world.


The chorus of "CHERRY," in particular, emphasizes the message of the song, with lines like "really, really me, I'm a cherry on top yeah" and "너무 뻔한 건 다 저리 치워봐봐" (get rid of all the obvious things). The use of the phrase "bubble gum pop" is also significant, as it connotes something that is fun and playful, but also disposable and easily forgettable. The song suggests that the singer doesn't want to be just another bubble gum pop artist, but rather someone who leaves a lasting impression and makes an impact on their audience.


Overall, "CHERRY" is a powerful message of self-acceptance and self-expression, encouraging listeners to embrace their unique qualities and not be afraid to stand out in a crowd.

When Ryujin said "Devil" in the first part danggg that was so smooth

Chaeryeong's high notes in the second part will forever be appreciated omg

Lia did great like fr shes the main vocalist for a reason

Yeji gave me chills the second time she sang

Yuna is cute but shes an actual devil in this song

I swear these kids go from Cutesy to Girl crush in seconds
