Fan Annotations (1)

“Ayo GG, sujupge useo” Ayo GG, 수줍게 웃어

"GG" is shorthand for Girls' Generation (소녀시대), and "수줍게 웃어" (sujupge useo) means "smiling shyly" — the line snaps from the song's bold swagger to sudden bashfulness about the crush. "I Got a Boy" was released January 1, 2013 and won Video of the Year at the first YouTube Music Awards in 2013 (Wikipedia). Its famously fragmented structure runs through nine distinct tonal shifts, which SM Entertainment wanted to sound like a musical showtune (Wikipedia).
