The lyrics of UP10TION's "Yes Or No" is about the uncertainty and confusion of one's feelings towards another person. The song begins with a repetition of "Say Yes animyeon No no" which means that the person is hesitant to give a definite answer to the question of whether or not they like the other person. The lines "Johdaga silhdaga, Iraessdajeoraessda," which translate to "You’re like (something), I’m like (something)," suggest the hesitation of the singer to express their feelings. The next line, "Mwoga jinjja ne mam in geoya" which can be translated to "What's really in your heart?" further emphasizes the confusion and indecision of the singer.
The chorus of the song revolves around the phrase "Just say yes" which is a clear invitation for the other person to make a move and ask the singer out. However, the singer is still unclear about their feelings and is struggling to make a decision. The lines "All I want is you, Dansunhan ge nan joheunde" which translates to "All I want is you, I like it simple," show that the singer has a desire for a straightforward answer and wants the other person to take the initiative and make their feelings known.
Throughout the song, the singer conveys a roller-coaster ride of emotions, from confusion and uncertainty to excitement and anxiety. The lyrics blend well with the upbeat tempo of the song, reflecting the emotional turmoil that comes with deciding whether or not to take a risk in a relationship.
