Ive rose to greater prominence with their 2022 single "Love Dive", which charted at number one on the Circle Digital Chart, became the best-performing single of the year, and won Song of the Year at the Asia Artist Awards, Golden Disc Awards, MAMA Awards, and Melon Music Awards. The group's name, IVE, is a contraction for "I have". It alludes to the idea of showing what "I have" to the audience with confidence, where instead of telling the story of growth, the group tries to portray a "complete girl group" from the start.
Off the Record
Ive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
목소릴 낮추고 더 속삭여줄래?
이 밤이 좀 더 깊어지면
뭔가 더 솔직해도 될 것 같은 기분이 들어
있잖아, 가끔 난 무척
발칙한 상상을 해
남들은 절대 모를 걸
Off the record night
This late night conversation
멈추지 않아
No more time, no more kill my vibe
This late night conversation
잠들지 않아
Yeah 비밀스럽게 잠겨진 문
그 맘을 우리에게 살짝 열어줘
떠나 forbidden island
찾아 forbidden fruit
가끔은 왠지 금지된 게 궁금하거든 yeah
순진한 가면을 벗고
흑심을 드러내 봐
그런 게 없을 리 없어
이젠 비공개 모드야
Off the record night
This late night conversation
멈추지 않아
No more time, no more kill my vibe
This late night conversation
잠들지 않아
Make it round on the ground, yeah
더 가까이 모여 앉아
자, 모든 걸 털어놔
Off the record night
This late night conversation
멈추지 않아
We're talkin' 'bout the late night conversation
Late night conversation
못 살아, 내가 정말 미쳐
진짜? 그래서 또 뭔데?
난 그냥 restaurant, cafe 영화
그런 사랑 말고 조금 더 특별한
은밀하고 아찔한 걸 원해 난
So this is my time, it's my time
숨막히는 trailer
또 엄청난 반전도 있어야지
로맨틱한 psycho
날 탐하면 모든 걸 견뎌야지 (oh-oh-oh)
Love me, love me (oh)
어서 날 leave me, leave me
날마다 killing, healing (ooh-ooh)
또 외쳐 난 stay (in this time)
Off the record night (ooh)
This late night conversation
멈추지 않아
No more time, no more kill my vibe
This late night conversation
잠들지 않아
Moon is setting tonight, yeah (어둠이 조금 더 짙어져가)
더 반짝거리는 your eyes (lookin' it, lookin' it, deep in the eyes)
난 하늘의 별을 봐
Off the record night
This late night conversation
잠들지 않아
The lyrics of IVE's song "Off the Record" paint a picture of a late-night conversation between two individuals. The song starts off with the line, "It's 2 AM, can you lower your voice and whisper more?" indicating the intimate and secret nature of the conversation. As the night gets deeper, there is a feeling of being able to be more honest and open. The lyrics suggest that there are thoughts and desires that can only be expressed off the record, away from the prying eyes of others.
The song acknowledges the forbidden and secretive aspects of the conversation. It mentions a forbidden island, forbidden fruit, and a curiosity about things that are considered off-limits. The idea of shedding masks and revealing one's true intentions and desires is also present in the lyrics. The phrase "Off the record night" is repeated throughout, emphasizing the private and undisclosed nature of this conversation that refuses to end.
There is a sense of wanting something more special and thrilling than ordinary love. The lyrics express a desire for something clandestine, exciting, and intoxicating. The line "Love me, love me, leave me, leave me" suggests a complex and perhaps volatile relationship dynamic. The song concludes with the repetition of the phrase "This late night conversation won't fall asleep," emphasizing the continuous nature of the conversation and its lingering impact.
