FREE YOUR MIND
The song "BAD" by QUEEN B'Z is all about girl power and breaking the rules. The opening words "Hey Girls, Cut the lipstick, Cut it off" means that the girls should forget about the traditional feminine image and be who they truly are. In the first verse, the lyrics talk about breaking free and finding oneself, saying "ripseutigeun jareugo (gidarijiman malgo) maseukaran deonjigo (han georeum meonjeo ga) geureul gajyeo say shut your mouth up", which translates to "throw away sophistication (don't wait) and escape from being numb (take one step forward) grab it, say shut your mouth up".
The chorus is all about breaking the rules and being bold, singing "GIRLS, GIRLS BREAK THE RULES, ipsureul yeoreobwa ne mamsoge inneun geol tohae, Attention GIRLS, GIRLS BREAK THE RULES, ipsureul ppaesseobwa nun gamgo gidaeeo itji malgo". These lines mean that girls should break free from the traditional roles and expectations set for them, and be true to themselves.
The rest of the song encourages girls to play hard and let loose, all while breaking the rules and being unapologetically themselves. The repeated hook "bam baraba bam baraba bam baraba yee" is a fun way to encourage the listener to let go and enjoy the moment.

Damn, so much female power
I love it...Kpop need more songs and MV with this type of concept

This group had some of the most unique voices back in the day, I wish they hadn't disbanded. I think the dark concept and the 19+ rating definitely didn't help their chances, but this is an amazing song and video.

greentaehyung
i happened to stumble upon this group by chance and omg i'm a fan
but why aren't their views AT LEAST in the high hundred thousands by now?? the mv did their debut justice (AMAZING vocals, performance, video quality and directing btw)... so why aren't they getting the attention they deserve? ):
Mooji Moo
The music industry is tough. :/
