아니
너 그거 좋아하는 거니
아니
그럼 네가 좋아하는 것은 아니
아니
그럼 원하는 게 뭐니 뭐니 해도 많이

말하는 대로 맘대로 생각대로 안 돼
Blurry lines yeah yeah yeah
So many so many any anything 아니 아니야야

내 입맛은 미식가지 까다로워
아니 내 말은 그게 아니고
고구마네 사이다 얻다 뒀어
보기 몇 가지를 두고 봐도

The lyrics of Stray Kids' song "Any" highlight the frustration and confusion young people face while trying to find direction in their lives. The song talks about the feeling of being lost, the pressure to fit in, and the struggle to discover one's true desires. The words "너는 지금 행복하니 아니 / 너 그거 좋아하는 거니 아니 / 그럼 네가 좋아하는 것은 아니" (Are you happy right now? No/Do you like that? No/So, that's not what you like, then) describe the dissatisfaction and unease experienced by millennials in their search for meaning.
The chorus, "Blurry lines yeah yeah yeah / So many so many any anything 아니 아니야야," emphasizes the difficulty in distinguishing one's preferences and wants from those imposed by society, leading to feelings of confusion and ambiguity. The bridge mentions various choices and lacks thereof, such as "물어봐라 다 다 (maybe) / I'm gonna say no (I'm gonna say no) / 원하는 건 많지만 알아 / 내 입맛은 미식가지 까다로워" (Ask me anything, maybe/I'm gonna say no/I want a lot, but I'm a picky eater).
Overall, "Any" captures the complex and challenging process of self-discovery and the pressure felt by young people to identify their place in the world.

It's weird, nothing really pulls me in
말하는 것마다 다 별로
Everything I say is disappointing

This song so underrated but the "blurry lines, yeah yeah yeah so many so many any anything ani aniyaya" is so damn addictive
Manabi
It’s not that underrated though. It’s one of the most popular b-side tracks

I remember having Stray Kids auto-playing on Spotify while I did some work, and then that part came and I had to pause, look at the song that was playing, and then casually put it on repeat because I needed to hear that again.
