Don't Recall
K.A.R.D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
짜증나니까 불결하니까
치워 내 몸에 손대지 마
이제 난 너를 몰라
너 역시도 모른척해 날
다 안다는 눈빛 더러운 느낌
느끼고 싶지 않아
더는 내게서 멀어지지 마
I gave you all my love love
All of my love love
절대 보내고 싶지 않아
날 그렇게 쳐다보지 마
더는 내게로 다가오지 마
You need to let it go go
Leave me alone lone
절대 돌리고 싶지 않아
좋았던 순간도 기억이 안 나 원망만
남아 날 괴롭혀 수없이
내일이 없을 것만 같아
설렜던 순간도 No No No No No
더 이상 아무런 의미 없어
그만해 I don’t recall
더 이상 아무런 의미 없어
그만해 I don’t recall
피부로 맞닿은 고독의 촉감
싸늘한 그 체감 그간의 무책임을
탓함에 잇따른 죄책감
마치 데칼 uh 코마니 되받지 내 죗값
희석시켜왔던 지난 잘못들의 대가
엉켜버린 실타래 매듭짓기엔 허탈해
빛바랜 추억 속에 살아가는 건 비참해
I hope that (I hope that)
네게 닿길 바래 내 독백
쇼맨십 아닌 내 고백
날 그렇게 쳐다보지 마
더는 내게로 다가오지 마
You need to let it go go
Leave me alone lone
절대 돌리고 싶지 않아
날 그렇게 쳐다보지 마
더는 내게서 멀어지지 마
I gave you all my love love
All of my love love
절대 보내고 싶지 않아
좋았던 순간도 기억이 안 나 원망만
남아 날 괴롭혀 수없이
내일이 없을 것만 같아
설렜던 순간도 No No No No No
더 이상 아무런 의미 없어
그만해 I don’t recall
더 이상 아무런 의미 없어
그만해 I don’t recall
진심이 아닌 걸
I know know know know know know
(I don’t recall)
아니라고 말해줘
Baby I can’t let you go
(이제 그만 날 놔줘)
절대 못 보내 널 No No No
(No No No No)
더 이상 아무런 의미 없어
그만해 I don’t recall
The lyrics of K.A.R.D's song Don't Recall tell the story of a painful breakup with someone that the singer was once deeply in love with. They beg their former lover to leave them alone and forget about them, as they have already lost all the love and memories they shared together. The song is an emotional plea for closure, as the singer tries to move on from their past relationship and into a new chapter of their lives.
The lyrics are filled with references to the pain and regret that accompany the end of a relationship. Lines like "I gave you all my love love, All of my love love, 절대 보내고 싶지 않아" show how deeply the singer cared for their former partner, while the repeated refrain of "I don't recall" illustrates their desire to forget the past and move on. The lyrics also include references to both physical and emotional distance between the two former lovers, with the singer begging their former partner not to stare at them or come any closer.
Overall, Don't Recall is a poignant and emotional ballad that captures the pain of a relationship ending and the longing for closure and moving on.

[Verse 1: Jiwoo, Somin]
Get up out my face
Quit playing with my head
Sick with regrets now, too late to beg now
Shut your mouth, no one cares, save your lies
You're a stranger to me now
Just walk by, we've never met before
The memories in your eyes twisting in my mind
What makes you think I want more?
[Pre-Chorus: J.Seph, Somin, BM]
Come fill up this void you left behind
Can't let you go, let's just hit rewind
I gave you all my love, love, all of my love, love
My empty heart needs you comply
I've heard this all way too many times
Just live your life, boy, and I'll live mine
You need to let it go, go, leave me alone-lone
Before you leave me, please think twice
[Chorus: Somin]
You left me in the cold
Nobody here to warm my nights
Now I'm gone and you want to hold me
But I'm good without you, no lie
Don't need you here no more, no no no no no
All the good that we had in your memories
What you say, I don't recall

Get up out my face
Quit playing with my head
Sick with regrets now
Too late to beg now
Shut your mouth no-one
Cares save your lies
You’re a stranger to me now
Just walk by
We’ve never met before
The memories in your eyes
Twisting in my mind
What makes you think I want more
Come fill up this
Void you left behind
Can’t let you go
Let’s just hit rewind
I gave you all my love love
All of my love love
My empty heart needs you comply
I’ve heard this all way
Too many times
Just live your life
Boy and I’ll live mine
You need to let it go go
Leave me alone lone
Before you leave me
Please think twice
You left me in the cold
Nobody here to warm my nights
Now I’m gone and you want to hold me
But I’m good without you no lie
Don’t need you here no more
No No No No No

We had in your memories
What you say I don’t recall
All the good that
We had in your memories
What you say I don’t recall
I'mma swallow up my pride
Be a man and own up to my misdeeds
When I said I’d never
Be the one to mistreat
But l’m the reason for ya
Pain now damn
How I never could imagine
My life with you missing
You should kick him
To the gutter dats
What all ya friends sayin
But I know we can recover
Cause I know you know you won’t
Find another betta lover
Ain’t nobody perfect
But we perfect for each other
Come fill up this
Void you left behind
Can’t let you go
Let’s just hit rewind
I gave you all my love love
All of my love love
My empty heart needs you comply

Too many times

Boy and I’ll live mine
You need to let it go go
Leave me alone lone

Please think twice
You left me in the cold
Nobody here to warm my nights
Now I’m gone and you want to hold me

Say you don’t mean those words
Oh no no no no no no
You’re the one I need in my life
Baby I can’t let you go
Don’t leave me in the cold
No no no no no
All the good that
We had in your memories
What you say I don’t recall

Thank you K.A.R.D. You made us, international fans feel special with this. :D Your so talented. So beautiful voices, when you all sing in English. It was nice that BM got to do the rap part as he is the best in English, but J.Seph did pretty well himself with some lyrics he had. :D Somin´s and Jiwoo´s voices so beautiful. <3
Now I kind of hope K.A.R.D will try to do English version of every main song that they will have on their albums in the future. But I know it´s a lot of work, so if not every main songs, then some of them would make me really happy and special. :3 <3
Can you K.A.R.D dance and sing this version in Simply Kpop or some other show that has many international kpop fans? I think it would make big and it would be little different. :D Or someday in your own concerts. I would love to see both versions on stage (Korean and English), I love them both. <3
And please say to your stylists and other stuff that they have done really well work with everything. :D I love those clothes the best and how they the video is cut to show many clothes after another, while members are dancing. :D <3
I´m just so proud to be your fan. :D Thank you K.A.R.D!! Love you! <3

You know you listen to too much kpop when you didn't even realize that this is in english.

Mikhail Azmi
they should continue their "hidden" concepts honestly
Hanna Thatsme
Totally agree
Ethan Jacob Belarmino
@Mikhail Azmi don't forget Oh Nana's Hidden was Youngji's featuring
Mikhail Azmi
Adeela Shahazman hidden versions are basically KARD's songs with a little something extra! eg. Don't Recall's Hidden version is this English Ver and Rumor's hidden ver features their choreographer!! But now they've gotten rid of the hidden version as the fans are called Hidden KARD's
