Stray Kids “CASE 143” Lyrics
Hangul
사건 발생 잊지 못할 사건
치명적인 매력에 홀라당 빠져
자꾸 나를 자극하는 넌
출처가 없는 문제야 풀어야 할 숙제야
Can I be your boyfriend?
너를 대하는 태도 거짓 하나 없어 no cap
너에게 하고 싶은 말로 가득 찼어 my case
완벽함 앞에 어떤 말로도 부족해
You got me losing patience
걷잡을 수 없는 emotion
떠올라 네 모습 I never feel alright
수많은 감정이 충돌해 왜 이래
Rolling in the deep inside my head
You got me bad
무장해제
신속하게 네게로 moving, on my way
Why do I keep getting attracted
자석 같이 끌려가
I cannot explain this reaction
이것밖에 143
Why do I keep getting attracted
네 모습만 떠올라
I cannot explain this emotion
143
I LOVE YOU
A B C D E F G I
Wanna send my code to you
8 letters is all it takes
And I’m gonna let you know oh
너 말곤 높이 쌓아뒀지 barricade (barricade)
원하는 대로 불러도 돼
Code name (call me baby)
욕심이래도 되고 싶어 soulmate (whoo)
이 맘은 점점 더 upgrade ’cause
You got me losing patience
걷잡을 수 없는 emotion
떠올라 네 모습 I never feel alright
수많은 감정이 충돌해 왜 이래
Rolling in the deep inside my head
You got me bad
무장해제
신속하게 네게로 moving, on my way
Why do I keep getting attracted
자석 같이 끌려가
I cannot explain this reaction
이것밖에 143
Why do I keep getting attracted
네 모습만 떠올라
I cannot explain this emotion
143
I LOVE YOU
Heartbeat 나의 모든 상태 지금 위기 (위기)
너의 모습 ain’t no “false”
나의 속맘 다시 repeat (repeat)
Walking next to you but I’m falling
더 깊게 빠져들어 끌리지
You’re pulling me deeper and deeper
I try to get out but I can’t stop
Can I be the one?
Yeah I’ll be the one
무모하게 도전해 오그라드는 표현
머릿속이 띵하고 무감정은 손절
Moving, I’m on my way
Why do I keep getting attracted
네 모습만 떠올라
I cannot explain this emotion
143
I LOVE YOU
Why do I keep getting attracted
자석 같이 끌려가
I cannot explain this reaction

Translation
A new case, an unforgettable case
I’m falling for your fatal attraction
You, who keeps setting me on fire are a question
With an unknown source, homework that needs to be done
Can I be your boyfriend?
I’ve never faked my attitude towards you, no cap
It’s full of stuff I want to tell you, my case
There are no words that describe the perfection
You got me losing patience
The uncontrollable emotion
You’re on my mind, I never feel alright
Numerous emotions collide, what’s going on
Rolling in the deep inside my head
You got me bad
Letting my guard down
Swiftly moving towards you, on my way
Why do I keep getting attracted
I’m drawn to you like a magnet
I cannot explain this reaction
The only thing I can say is 143
Why do I keep getting attracted
Only you’re on my mind
I cannot explain this emotion
143
I LOVE YOU
A B C D E F G I
Wanna send my code to you
8 letters is all it takes
And I’m gonna let you know oh
Stacked high for everyone except you, my barricade (barricade)
You can call me anything
Code name (call me baby)
Even if I’m greedy, I want to be your soulmate (whoo)
My feelings are growing, upgrade ’cause
You got me losing patience
The uncontrollable emotion
You’re on my mind, I never feel alright
Numerous emotions collide, what’s going on
Rolling in the deep inside my head
You got me bad
Letting my guard down
Swiftly moving to you, on my way
Why do I keep getting attracted
I’m drawn to you like a magnet
I cannot explain this reaction
The only thing I can say is 143
Why do I keep getting attracted
Only you’re on my mind
I cannot explain this emotion
143
I LOVE YOU
Heartbeat, all my conditions are in crisis (crisis)
The way you look ain’t no “false”
My inner feelings again repeat (repeat)
Walking next to you but I’m falling
I’m falling deeper I’m drawn to you
You’re pulling me deeper and deeper
I try to get out but I can’t stop
Can I be the one?
Yeah I’ll be the one
I recklessly dare to use cringy expressions
My head is numb, cut away the emotionless thoughts
Moving, I’m on my way
Why do I keep getting attracted
Only you’re on my mind
I cannot explain this emotion
143
I LOVE YOU
Why do I keep getting attracted
I’m drawn to you like a magnet
I cannot explain this reaction
(The only thing I can say is)
I’m gonna let you know (know)
That I’m just gonna go (go)
And hold you so I’m never letting go
I’m gonna let you know (know)
That I’m just gonna go (just go)
Yeah I’m heading towards you right now, like I’m
Never letting go oh
I cannot explain this emotion
143
I LOVE YOU
Stray Kids “CASE 143” Meaning
CASE 143 is Stray Kids’ first love-themed title track, bringing a bold and dynamic twist to the theme of love. The song likens the overwhelming emotions of first love to a “case occurrence,” cleverly using the numerical code “143” as a symbolic representation of “I LOVE YOU.”
Han, who co-produced the song alongside 3RACHA’s Bang Chan and Changbin, emphasized the track’s diverse soundscape and dramatic shifts, ensuring an electrifying listening experience. Meanwhile, Seungmin highlighted how the song offers a fresh perspective on love, interpreting this universal theme through Stray Kids’ unique musical identity. Changbin further explained that while the group has explored love songs before, CASE 143 was designed on a grander scale, reflecting their bold and direct artistic expression. With 3RACHA leading the songwriting and production, and Bang Chan contributing to the arrangement, the track seamlessly merges Stray Kids’ trademark intensity with an innovative take on love, setting it apart from traditional love songs.
