ITZY – DALLA DALLA Lyrics
Hangul
DDA-DDA-LA-DDA-LA-DDA-LA
DDA-DDA-LA-DDA-LA-DDA-LA
People look at me, and they tell me
외모만 보고 내가 날라리 같대요
So what? 신경 안 써 I’m sorry
I don’t care, don’t care, really don’t care, because
사랑 따위에 목매지 않아
세상엔 재밌는 게 더 많아
언니들이 말해 철들려면 멀었대
I’m sorry sorry 철들 생각 없어요 (Nope)
예쁘기만 하고 매력은 없는
애들과 난 달라 달라 달라
DDA-DDA-LA DDA-LA
니 기준에 날 맞추려 하지 마
난 지금 내가 좋아 나는 나야
DDA-DDA-LA DDA-LA DDA-LA
[류/All] I love myself
난 뭔가 달라 달라 Yeah
[리아/All] I love myself
난 뭔가 달라 달라 Yeah
난 너랑 달라 달라 Yeah
Bad, bad, I’m sorry I’m bad, I’m just the way I am
남 신경 쓰고 살긴 아까워
하고 싶은 일 하기도 바빠
My life 내 맘대로 살 거야 말리지 마
난 특별하니까 Yeah
남들의 시선 중요치 않아
내 Style이 좋아 그게 나니까
언니들이 말해 내가 너무 당돌하대
I’m sorry sorry 바꿀 생각 없어요 (Nope)
예쁘기만 하고 매력은 없는
애들과 난 달라 달라 달라
DDA-DDA-LA DDA-LA
니 기준에 날 맞추려 하지 마
난 지금 내가 좋아 나는 나야
DDA-DDA-LA DDA-LA DDA-LA
Don’t care what people say 나는 내가 알아
I’m talking to myself 기죽지 마 절대로
고갤 들고 니 꿈을 쫓아
Just keep on dreaming
Keep your chin up, we got your back
Keep your head up, just keep on dreaming
Keep your chin up, we got your back
Keep your head up, just keep on dreaming (Everybody)
예쁘기만 하고 매력은 없는
애들과 난 달라 달라 달라
DDA-DDA-LA DDA-LA
니 기준에 날 맞추려 하지 마
난 지금 내가 좋아 나는 나야
DDA-DDA-LA DDA-LA DDA-LA

DDA-DDA-LA-DDA-LA-DDA-LA
DDA-DDA-LA-DDA-LA-DDA-LA
People look at me, and they tell me
They look at my looks alone and say I’m a punk
So what? I don’t care, I’m sorry
I don’t care, don’t care, really don’t care, because
I don’t care for love
There’s much more fun out there in the world
Sisters tell me I still have a long way to become mature
I’m sorry sorry, I don’t want to be mature, nope
Just pretty but not attractive at all
I’m different from the kids
I’m different
Don’t measure me by your standards alone
I love being myself, I’m nobody else
I’m different
I love myself
Something’s different about me, yeah
I love myself
Something’s different about me, yeah
I’m different from you, yeah
Bad, bad I’m sorry I’m bad, I’m just the way I am
It’s such a little time to care about what others think
I’m busy doing what I want to do
My life, I will live my own way, don’t you care
Cause I’m special, yeah
I don’t care about what others think
I like my style cause that’s me
Sisters tell me I’m daring
I’m sorry sorry, I don’t want to change, nope
Just pretty but not attractive at all
I’m different from the kids
I’m different
Don’t measure me by your standards alone
I love being myself, I’m nobody else
I’m different
Don’t care what people say, I know myself.
I’m talking to myself, keep your head up
Hold your head up and go after your dreams
Just keep on dreaming
Keep your chin up, we got your back
Keep your head up, just keep on dreaming
Keep your chin up, we got your back
Keep your head up, just keep on dreaming
Just pretty but not attractive at all
I’m different from the kids
I’m different
Don’t measure me by your standards alone
I love being myself, I’m nobody else
I’m different
I love myself
Something’s different about me, yeah
I love myself
Something’s different about me, yeah
I’m different from you, yeah
ITZY – DALLA DALLA Meaning
The Empowering Message Behind ITZY’s “DALLA DALLA”
ITZY’s debut single “DALLA DALLA” took the K-pop world by storm in 2019, not only for its infectious beats and genre-defying sound but also for its empowering and unapologetically confident message. The title, which translates to “different” in Korean, encapsulates the song’s central theme: embracing individuality and rejecting societal expectations.
From the very first verse, “DALLA DALLA” establishes itself as an anthem for self-love and self-expression. The lyrics convey a refusal to conform to traditional beauty standards and societal judgments. Lines like “I love myself, I’m different from the others” emphasize self-acceptance, encouraging listeners to take pride in their uniqueness.
The chorus boldly declares independence, with the repeated phrase “I’m different, different from the others.” This mantra of embracing one’s differences resonates with fans worldwide, particularly young people navigating the pressures of fitting in. ITZY’s message aligns perfectly with the values of Generation Z, who often challenge stereotypes and prioritize authenticity.
Musically, “DALLA DALLA” blends various genres, including EDM, hip-hop, and pop, reflecting the group’s innovative and boundary-pushing identity. The fusion of styles mirrors the song’s lyrical theme of breaking away from the norm and creating something unique.
