KATSEYE “Gameboy” Lyrics

English

[Verse 1: Manon]
Tell your friends that I love the drama
Play pretend, but you know it’s karma
You’re the one that’s lonely callin’
You can blame me, but I ain’t the problem (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus: Daniela]
You, you keep on pushing my buttons, you do
With me, you leveled up, yeah, it’s true
Now I’m somebody you don’t wanna lose (Ooh-ooh)

[Chorus: Megan, Sophia, Yoonchae & Lara]
You’re just a Gameboy
I ain’t tryna play, boy
I ain’t thinkin’ about you
Not thinkin’ about you
Lovin’ you’s a game, boy
I should throw it away, boy
I ain’t thinking about you, ooh
You’re just a Gameboy
I ain’t tryna play, boy
I ain’t thinkin’ about you
Not thinkin’ about you
Lovin’ you’s a game, boy
I should throw it away, boy
I ain’t thinking about you, ooh, ooh

[Verse 2: Daniela & Manon]
I been goin’ out on my own time
I been doin’ me but I don’t mind
That’s mine, that’s mine
Me and all my friends in the backseat
Headed to the club in the taxi
I’m fine, oh, no (Ooh)

[Pre-Chorus: Daniela]
You, you keep on pushing my buttons, you do
With me, you lеveled up, yeah, it’s truе
Now I’m somebody you don’t wanna lose (Ooh-ooh)

[Chorus: Megan, Sophia, Yoonchae & Lara]
You’re just a Gameboy
I ain’t tryna play, boy
I ain’t thinkin’ about you
Not thinkin’ about you
Lovin’ you’s a game, boy
I should throw it away, boy
I ain’t thinking about you, ooh (Not thinking about you)
You’re just a Gameboy
I ain’t tryna play, boy
I ain’t thinkin’ about you
Not thinkin’ about you
Lovin’ you’s a game, boy
I should throw it away, boy
I ain’t thinking about you, ooh, ooh (Not thinking about you)

[Bridge: Manon]
Tell your friends that I love the drama
Play pretend, but you know it’s karma
You’re the one that’s lonely callin’
Blamin’ me, but I ain’t the problem (Woo)

[Chorus: Megan, Sophia, Yoonchae & Lara]
You’re just a Gameboy
I ain’t tryna play, boy
I ain’t thinkin’ about you
Not thinkin’ about you (Not thinking about you)
Lovin’ you’s a game, boy
I should throw it away, boy
I ain’t thinking about you, ooh (Not thinking about you, ooh)
You’re just a Gameboy (Gameboy)
I ain’t tryna play, boy (Play, boy)
I ain’t thinkin’ about you
Not thinkin’ about you
Lovin’ you’s a game, boy (Oh, game, boy)
I should throw it away, boy
I ain’t thinking about you, ooh, ooh (Ain’t thinking about you, not thinking about you)

[Outro: Manon]
Tell your friends that I love the drama

With sharp, confrontational lyrics aimed at an elusive and emotionally unavailable love interest, the song calls out the mind games, the blame-shifting, and the emotional immaturity. But rather than dwelling in heartbreak, “Gameboy” thrives on a sense of freedom and self-assurance. KATSEYE makes it clear they’ve already moved on, stronger and more grounded, refusing to waste another moment on someone who didn’t value them. Backed by an addictive beat and infused with playful retro-inspired sounds, the track pulses with energy, confidence, and attitude. It’s not just a breakup song—it’s a declaration of independence, blending KATSEYE’s signature style with a modern take on emotional resilience.
