The lyrics to U-KISS's song "어리지 않아" ("I'm Not Young Anymore") are about growing up and feeling frustrated with being treated like a child. The song features the group showcasing their maturity and confidence, declaring that they are no longer children but adults. The lyrics reference the singer's mother always telling them they are not yet ready or mature enough for something, despite feeling like they are. The singer asserts that they have grown up and know what they want, including in terms of love. They reject being seen as "꼬맹이" (childish) or "철부지" (a term used in Korean to describe someone who is no longer young but not fully mature), and assert that they are now "다 큰 어른" (fully grown adults). The chorus reinforces this message, telling listeners not to underestimate the singer and implying that they are ready for love and adulthood.
Overall, the song is about growing up and asserting one's maturity and readiness for adulthood. The lyrics highlight the frustration that many young people feel when they are treated like children despite feeling like they are ready for more. The song encourages listeners to embrace their maturity and not let others hold them back.
