ITZY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
내가 뭐가 되든 내가 알아서 할 테니까 좀
I do what I wanna
평범하게 살든 말든 내버려 둘래?
어차피 내가 살아, 내 인생 내거니까
I'm so bad, bad 차라리 이기적일래
눈치 보느라 착한 척, 상처받는 것보다 백번 나아
말해버릴지도 몰라, 너나 잘하라고
누가 뭐라 해도 난 나야, 난 그냥 내가 되고 싶어
I wanna be me, me, me
굳이 뭔가 될 필요는 없어, 난 그냥 나일 때 완벽하니까
I wanna be me, me, me
I don't wanna be somebody
Just wanna be me, be me
I wanna be me, me, me
I don't wanna be somebody
Just wanna be me, be me
I wanna be me, me, me (action)
Everybody, everybody, everybody teaching me (all eyes on me)
이래라 저래라 모두 한마디씩 (don't touch me)
Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah 내 앞가림은 내가 해
I'ma do my thang, just do your thang
'Cause I'm the one and only
사람들은 남 말 하기를 좋아해 (la, la, la)
남의 인생에 뭔 관심이 많아, 왜? (La, la, la)
저기 미안하지만 신경 좀 꺼줄래요?
It's none of your business
I do my own business
누가 뭐라 해도 난 나야, 난 그냥 내가 되고 싶어
I wanna be me, me, me
굳이 뭔가 될 필요는 없어, 난 그냥 나일 때 완벽하니까
I wanna be me, me, me
(Hey, hey)
No matter if you love me or hate me
(Hey, hey)
I wanna be me
One and only me
If you feel me, turn this beat up (hey)
I wanna be me, me, me
누가 뭐라 해도 난 나야, 난 그냥 내가 되고 싶어
I wanna be me, me, me
굳이 뭔가 될 필요는 없어, 난 그냥 나일 때 완벽하니까
I wanna be me, me, me
I don't wanna be somebody
Just wanna be me, be me
I wanna be me, me, me
I don't wanna be somebody
Just wanna be me, be me
I wanna be me, me, me
The lyrics in Itzy's song WANNABE convey the message of self-empowerment and rejecting societal pressures to conform to a certain image or standard. The opening lines "잔소리는 stop it 알아서 할게" mean "stop nagging, I'll do it myself" which is a message that the singer knows what they want and intend to pursue it, regardless of any criticism or interference from others. The chorus "누가 뭐라 해도 난 나야, 난 그냥 내가 되고 싶어" translates to "no matter what anyone says, I'll still be myself, because being myself is perfect enough". The lyrics are empowering and encourage listeners to embrace their unique identities and not let anyone dictate their worth or value.
The second verse "Errbody, errbody, errbody teachin' me (all eyes on me) 이래라 저래라 모두 한마디씩 (don't touch me)" highlights the societal pressure to conform to expectations and how people continuously offer unsolicited advice to tell the singer how to live their life. The lyrics "It's none of your business, I do my own business" additionally emphasises the importance of individuality.
The final verse "No matter if you love me or hate me, I wanna be me, One and only me" demonstrates the singer's desire for authenticity and that they will not compromise themselves for anyone else's approval. Overall, the song's message is one of self-love, individuality, and confidence in oneself in a world that discourages it.

"i'd rather be selfish. Hundred times better than pretending to be nice and getting hurt"
these words hit me hard
they always want me to be so nice to them and hear only good news
i'm so tired
loneliness better than pain
