Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Kahi's song "It's Me" center around the idea of a woman who is confident and empowered in her sexuality, unapologetically taking charge of her desires and pursuing what she wants. The opening verses describe a woman who catches the eye of the singer, but who appears ambivalent to others, a 'bad girl' who doesn't play by society's rules. Despite not knowing her, the singer imagines her also to be "so cool" and "so s***." The chorus repeats this idea of being both bad and good, with "s***" added in as an identifier of her sexual confidence. She contrasts herself with other girls who seem to be more basic and less exciting to her desired partner, who is already in a relationship but unaware of her interest. She is explicit in her desires, wishing for the man she wants to be with, even though she acknowledges that she herself might be misunderstood and seen as a 'bad girl.'


The song presents a powerful message about women owning their sexuality and pursuing what they want without fear of judgement. The lyrics touch on themes of empowerment, confidence, and desire, and the message is delivered with a bold and unapologetic tone. The use of Korean adds an extra layer to the song, as it is less common for women to speak so openly about their sexuality in Korean popular music.

Back in 2021, what a bop! I didn't even realise how underrated this song was in 2014??? I was just a teenager playing it on repeat because I loved it. I miss the days when I didn't look at views and likes so much.

@deejhone5795

Sameee

@shunfox

uhmmm it was 2013...

@xxdrkanglsxx

I've come back to this song in specific multiple times over the years because of how good it is. I don't do that for much anything at all, but this is such a good beat and fun to sing along to and a feel good song

@krisuler7734

Soo…don’t look at likes and views then?? You’re not going to listen to something you like now based on …likes? Strange.

@shunfox

@@krisuler7734 it's like i don't care about... accolades anymore, in my opinion, accolades define "quality" these days in music

Kahi, Lee Hyori and CL would be perfect for a sub unit. They are all super-bad and super-charismatic women. Omg it would be a dream come true!

@cynthialokaporti2516

Yep

@TuyetNguyen-mz5mu

Add a bit of GaIn as well? Hehe

@timiniho

Replace CL with Boa & I agree. (Nothing against CL, just don't think that she fits with them)
