BLACKPINK “How You Like That” Lyrics
Hangul
BLACKPINK in your area
보란 듯이 무너졌어
바닥을 뚫고 저 지하까지
옷 끝자락 잡겠다고
저 높이 두 손을 뻗어 봐도
다시 캄캄한 이곳에 light up the sky
네 두 눈을 보며, I’ll kiss you bye
실컷 비웃어라 꼴 좋으니까
이제 너희, 하나, 둘, 셋
Ha, how you like that? (Ooh)
You gon’ like that, that-that-that-that, that-that-that-that
How you like that? (Bada-bing, bada-boom-boom-boom)
How you like that, that-that-that-that, that-that-that-that?
Now look at you, now look at me (uh)
Look at you, now look at me (uh)
Look at you, now look at me, how you like that?
Now look at you, now look at me (uh)
Look at you, now look at me (uh)
Look at you, now look at me, how you like that?
Your girl need it all and that’s a hunnid
100 개 중에 100, 내 몫을 원해
Karma come and get some
딱하지만 어쩔 수 없잖아
What’s up? I’m right back (right back)
방아쇠를 cock back (cock back)
Plain Jane get hijacked, don’t like me?
Then tell me how you like that, like that?
더 캄캄한 이곳에 shine like the stars
그 미소를 띠며, I’ll kiss you goodbye
실컷 비웃어라 꼴 좋으니까
이제 너희, 하나, 둘, 셋
Ha, how you like that? (Ooh)
You gon’ like that, that-that-that-that, that-that-that-that
How you like that? (Bada-bing, bada-boom-boom-boom)
How you like that, that-that-that-that, that-that-that-that?
Now look at you, now look at me (uh)
Look at you, now look at me (uh)
Look at you, now look at me, how you like that?
Now look at you, now look at me (uh)
Look at you, now look at me (uh)
Look at you, now look at me, how you like that?
날개 잃은 채로 추락했던 날
어두운 나날 속에 갇혀 있던 날
그때쯤에 넌 날 끝내야 했어
Look up in the sky, it’s a bird, it’s a plane
Yeah-eh-eh-eh
Bring out your boss, bitch
Yeah-eh-eh-eh
BLACKPINK!
뚜뚜뚜뚜두두, 뚜뚜뚜뚜두두 (how you like that?)
뚜뚜뚜뚜두두, 뚜뚜뚜, 뚜두두두 (you gon’ like that)

Translation
BLACKPINK in your area
I crumbled before your eyes
Hit rock bottom and sunk deeper
To grab onto the last bit of hope
I’ve tried to reach out with both of my hands
Again in this dark place, light up the sky
While looking into your eyes, I’ll kiss you goodbye
Laugh all you want while you still can
Because it’s about to be your turn 1, 2, 3
Ha how you like that?
You gon’ like that that that that that
That that that that
How you like that?
How you like that that that that that
That that that that
Now look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
How you like that
Now look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
How you like that
Your girl need it all and that’s a hundred
10 out of 10 I want what’s mine
Karma come and get some
I feel bad but there’s nothing I can do
Whats up I’m right back
Cock back the trigger
Plain Jane get hijacked
Don’t like me? Then tell me how you like that, like that
In this even darker place shine like the stars
With a smile on my face I’ll kiss you goodbye
Laugh all you want while you still can
Because it’s about to be your turn 1, 2, 3
Ha how you like that?
You gon’ like that that that that that
That that that that
How you like that?
How you like that that that that that
That that that that
Now look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
How you like that
Now look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
Look at you now look at me
How you like that
The day I fell without my wings
Those dark days where I was trapped
You should’ve ended me when you had the chance
Look up in the sky it’s a bird it’s a plane
Bring out your boss bitch
BLACKPINK!
(Dumdumdum dururu dumdumdum dururu)
How you like that
(Dumdumdum dururu dumdumdum durururu)
You gon’ like that
(Dumdumdum dururu dumdumdum dururu)
How you like that

BLACKPINK “How You Like That” Meaning
“How You Like That” is a song that embodies resilience, female empowerment, and breaking free from societal constraints. The song’s visuals draw heavily from Greek mythology, with references to the goddess Nike, symbolizing victory, and the Furies, representing vengeance against oppression. This imagery aligns with the song’s overarching theme of rising above hardships.
Rosé‘s scene, where she is lowered into a flower coffin, evokes the story of Persephone. It highlights themes of fate, control, and rebirth. This parallels the struggles and constraints often faced by female idols in the K-pop industry. The group’s choreography throughout the seasons symbolizes transformation and perseverance. Lisa‘s scene with a falcon alludes to Pheme, the goddess of rumor, emphasizing the harmful effects of gossip and misinformation. Jennie and Jisoo’s scenes reference the tragic myth of Arachne, a metaphor for the immense pressure on female idols to maintain perfection, often leading to harsh judgment and even self-destruction.ư
Through its powerful beats and deeply symbolic visuals, “How You Like That” delivers a bold message about overcoming adversity and reclaiming one’s power.
