[Chorus: All, Giselle, Winter, Karina]
내 맘이 끌린다면 pick
If my heart's drawn to it, pick
따분해 지루한 건 kick
Boring and dull, just kick it
Wanna ta-ta-take it (Let's take)
Wanna ta-ta-take it (Let's take)
내 손에 ge-ge-get it (It's like party)
Ge-ge-get it in my hands (It's like party)
매일 더 즐긴다면 내가 winner (Bigger, better)
The more I enjoy each day, I'm the winner (Bigger, better)
Getting higher
Getting higher
I love my life, only live once

당길래 zoom, zoom
Zoom, zoom, pull it in
진짜 내 꿈에 초점을 맞춰
Focus on what I truly dream of
Take a shot
Take a shot
사진처럼 딱 걸어 놔
Frame it like a photograph
다른 건 안 봐
Not looking at anything else
그 누구도 내 선택에
No one gets to grade
채점은 never
My choices, never
던질래 answer (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Throw an answer (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
오답도 right
Wrong answers are right too
겁먹지 않아
I'm not afraid

시선은 not my business (Yeah)
Other people's eyes, not my business (Yeah)
이기거나 지는 races
Races where you win or lose
전부 관심 없는걸 (아무리 당겨도, can't pull me down)
None of it matters to me (아무리 당겨도, can't pull me down)
다 뻔한 성공 법칙
All those predictable rules of success
강요는 말아, baby
Don't push them on me, baby
지금은 한 번뿐
This moment only comes once
Just live my life
Just live my life

알잖아 우린 priceless
You know we're priceless
그냥 흘러가긴 truly (Oh)
Just drifting along, truly (Oh)
매 순간이 아쉬워
Every moment feels too short
싫어도 참고 waiting
Waiting and holding back what I hate
넣어둬 그런 얘긴
Put all that away
인생은 한 번뿐 (Just live my life)
Life only happens once (Just live my life)

Fan Annotations (1)
nan nae salmi joeun geol only live once난 내 삶이 좋은 걸 only live once
"난 내 삶이 좋은 걸 only live once" mixes Korean and English to say "I love my life — you only live once," folding the YOLO acronym straight into the lyric. The Korean clause 난 내 삶이 좋은 걸 ("I love my life") grounds the bravado in genuine contentment rather than recklessness, giving the song a warmer read than typical YOLO posturing. "YOLO" is a track on aespa's EP Drama, released November 10, 2023 (Wikipedia).
