夕暮れに日が沈むの
溶け込むようこの体に
優しいの痛くはないよ君だから

君見てたら何もかもが
溶けて砕けて消えて
その瞳に囚われて
まどわされて踊らされて oh baby

君のフェイバリット女子になりたくて

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Iri's song "フェイバリット女子" (Favorite Girl) express the singer's desire to become someone's favorite girl. The opening lines describe the feeling of the sun setting at dusk and how it seems to dissolve into the singer's body, representing the warmth and painlessness they feel when they are with the person they are singing about. The chorus expresses the singer's longing to become the favorite girl of the person they are singing to. They want to watch the person's favorite movies, relate to them, sing their favorite songs, and find themselves smiling foolishly. The verses emphasize the captivation and bewilderment the singer experiences when they are with this person. They become entranced and entrapped by their eyes, feeling like a playful puppet under their spell. The repetition of "no no no no" throughout the song might suggest the internal conflict the singer feels, perhaps questioning if their desire to become the person's favorite girl is a wise choice. The plea at the end of the song for their heart not to be taken away indicates that the singer is vulnerable and afraid of getting hurt, but still willing to go the distance to be with the person they desire.
