The song "ME+U" by f(x) talks about a student, who seems to have a crush on her teacher, asking him to teach her how to handle her feelings. The girl feels that she is unable to control her emotions, and thus she needs her teacher's help. She wonders why she loses control whenever she is around him and why her heart beats faster. The chorus implies that the teacher teaching her how to handle her emotions is essential to avoid going crazy over love. The verses also mention that her friends have noticed her feelings too and that they are also bewildered by her new emotions.
The lyrics also include some Korean phrases that can be translated to the teacher telling her not to be stubborn and that she can't hold out in this situation. He asks her to stop trying to resist her emotions and give in to her feelings. The phrase "gaseumeun koongkoongkoongkoong ulguleun hwaggeunhwaggeun" translates to her heart thumping heavily and her tears dropping like rain.
Overall, the song "ME+U" is about a girl experiencing her first love and needing guidance on how to handle her feelings. She asks her teacher for help, and he advises her to let go and stop resisting her emotions.
