(English Translated)
[Intro: Karina]
I’m like some kind of supernova
Watch out

[Verse 1: Ningning, Karina, Dem Jointz]
Look at me go
재미 좀 볼
빛의 core
So hot, hot
문이 열려
서로의 존재를 느껴
마치 discord
날 닮은 너 너 누구야
 (Incoming; Drop)

[Pre-Chorus: Winter, Ningning, Giselle]
사건은 다가와, ah, oh, ayy
거세게 커져가, ah, oh, ayy
That tick, that tick, tick bomb
That tick, that tick, tick bomb
감히 건드리지 못할 걸
누구도 말이야
지금 내 안에선
Su-su-su-supernova



[Chorus: All, Winter]
Nova
Can’t stop hyperstellar
원초 그걸 찾아
Bring the light of a dying star
불러낸 내 우주를 봐 봐
Supernova

[Interlude: Karina & Giselle]
Ah, body bang (Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang)
Make it feel too right

[Verse 2: Karina, Giselle, Winter]
휩쓸린 에너지, it’s so special
잔인한 queen 이며 scene 이자 종결
이토록 거대한 내 안의 explosion
내 모든 세포 별로부터 만들어져
 (Under my control, ah)

[Pre-Chorus: Ningning, Karina, Giselle]
질문은 계속돼, ah, oh, ayy
우린 어디서 왔나, oh, ayy
느껴 내 안에선 (Huh)
Su-su-su-supernova

[Chorus: All, Ningning]
Nova
Can’t stop hyperstellar
원초 그걸 찾아
Bring the light of a dying star
불러낸 내 우주를 봐 봐
Supernova



[Bridge: Winter, Giselle, Ningning]
보이지 않는 힘으로
네게 손 내밀어 볼까
가능한 모든 가능성
무한 속의 너를 만나

It’s about to bang, bang
Don’t forget my name

[Interlude: Karina]
Su-su-su-supernova

[Refrain: All]
사건은 다가와, ah, oh, ayy
거세게 커져가, ah, oh, ayy
질문은 계속돼, ah, oh, ayy
우린 어디서 왔나, oh, ayy
사건은 다가와, ah, oh, ayy
거세게 커져가, ah, oh, ayy
Tell me, tell me, tell me, oh, ayy
우린 어디서 왔나, oh, ayy
우린 어디서 왔나, oh, ayy

[Chorus]
Nova (Nova)
Can’t stop hyperstellar (Hyperstellar)

[Intro: Karina]
I’m like some kind of supernova
Watch out

[Verse 1: Ningning, Karina]
Look at me go
Have some fun
Core of light
So hot, hot
The door opens
Feel each other’s presence
Like Discord
Who are you, you who resemble me
 (Incoming; Drop)

[Pre-Chorus: Winter, Ningning, Giselle]
The event is approaching ah, oh, ayy
It’s growing bigger ah, oh, ayy
That tick, that tick, tick bomb
That tick, that tick, tick bomb

No one dares to touch
That’s what everyone says
Inside me now
Su-su-su-supernova

[Chorus: All, Winter]
Nova
Can’t stop hyperstellar
Searching for the origin
Bring the light of a dying star
Look at my universe I’ve created

Supеrnova


[Interlude: Karina & Giselle]
Ah, body bang (bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang)
Make it feel too right

[Verse 2: Karina, Giselle, Winter]
The enеrgy that sweeps me away is so special
Cruel queen, scene and end
The explosion inside me is so huge
Made from every cell of my stars
 (Under my control, ah)

[Pre-Chorus: Ningning, Karina, Giselle]
The questions keep coming ah, oh, ayy
Where did we come from? oh, ayy
Feel inside me (Huh)
Su-su-su-supernova

[Chorus: All, Ningning]
Nova
Can’t stop hyperstellar
Searching for the origin
Bring the light of a dying star
Look at my universe I’ve created

Supernova

[Bridge: Winter, Giselle, Ningning]
With invisible power
Should I reach out to you?
All possible possibilities
Meet you in infinity

It’s about to bang-bang
Don’t forget my name



[Interlude: Karina]
Su-su-su-supernova

[Refrain: All]
The event is approaching ah, oh, ayy
