"Who Am I" by SunMi is about uncertainty in a relationship and questioning one's self-worth. The first verse opens with the lines, "I can't pretend to be indifferent / I don't need a fake past." This suggests that the singer cannot put up a false facade or pretend to be someone they are not, as they value honesty and authenticity. The lines "I know you better than anyone else / But how did you get through to me?" further emphasize the confusion the singer feels about their connection with their partner. The second verse continues with the lines, "A girl who once doubted her heart / Regained her eyes after being blinded." This indicates that the singer has overcome previous doubts and has gained clarity in their vision. In the chorus, the repeated phrase "One two three four you and me" suggests a desire for unity and a strong bond between the singer and their partner. The lines "Get it get it get it for love" suggest that the connection between the two needs to be constantly worked on and reinforced.
Throughout the song, there are references to feeling lost and helpless in a relationship. The lines "You told me when you left / Your heart hurt like it was frozen" imply that the partner left the singer feeling abandoned and alone. The lines "I can't throw it away, I can't leave it behind / It's not over yet" suggest that the singer is holding onto the relationship, even though they may feel unsure about its future.
Overall, "Who Am I" is a song about the complexities of love and relationships. The lyrics show the singer grappling with uncertainty and questioning their place in the relationship, while also expressing a desire for connection and unity with their partner.
