IVE Wonyoung “8” Lyrics

Hangul

I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I 8

I know how to use momentum
나를 봐 누구도 못 멈춰
나는 네 column, but your problem
알고도 나를 또 찾아와 like Hansel
이젠 뻔해 that chit-chat
돌봐줄까 you kitty cat
나란 영원 앞으로 와봐 let’s pop ’em

Let’s get delirious, don’t be too serious
언제나 cute 주변을 mute
That’s why I’m ever mysterious

날 보면 뛰어
심장이 뛰어
You should bow down 아래로
Thank me I’m here

Everlasting soul 잘 봐
Another level not the same

I got 4 rims on my way
길을 비켜라
맘을 밝혀라
Let me tell my name
똑똑히 기억해
Don’t care if I am late
I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I 8

I 8
5, 6, 7, I ate
I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I

Make another million, aim for the billion
6, 7 ate 더 원하지 난
원하면 뭐든
그게 어디든
바란다면 다 got ’em

Taking, taking, taking, taking the win
뻔해 뻔해 뻔해 이 결말이
Happen, happen, happen when I want it
너가 있는 동안엔 난 영원해
날 따라해 ice on my wrist
늘 충분해 look at my rizz
They tryna hate, but boy that is too weak

Everlasting soul 잘 봐
Another level not the same

I got 4 rims on my way
길을 비켜라
맘을 밝혀라
Let me tell my name
똑똑히 기억해
Don’t care if I am late
I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I 8

I 8
5, 6, 7, I ate

I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I

5, 6, 7, I ate
I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I

I got 4 rims on my way
길을 비켜라
맘을 밝혀라
Let me tell my name

Don’t care if I am late

I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I 8

I know how to use momentum
Look at me, no one can stop me
I am your column, but your problem
Even knowing that, you come find me again like Hansel
Now it’s obvious, that chit-chat
Shall I take care of you, kitty cat
Come toward me, I’m eternity, let’s pop ’em

Let’s get delirious, don’t be too serious
Always cute, mute the surroundings
That’s why I’m ever mysterious

When you see me, you run
Your heart is racing
You should bow down, to the floor
Thank me I’m here

Everlasting soul, take a good look
Another level, not the same

I got 4 rims on my way
Get out of the way
Light up your heart
Let me tell my name
Remember it clearly
Don’t care if I am late
I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I 8

I 8
5, 6, 7, I ate
I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I

Make another million, aim for the billion
6, 7 ate, I want more
If I want it, anything
Wherever it is
If I wish for it, I got ’em

Taking, taking, taking, taking the win
So obvious, this ending
Happen, happen, happen when I want it
While you’re here, I’m eternal
Copy me, ice on my wrist
Always enough, look at my rizz
They tryna hate, but boy that is too weak

Everlasting soul, take a good look
Another level, not the same

I got 4 rims on my way
Get out of the way
Light up your heart
Let me tell my name
Remember it clearly
Don’t care if I am late
I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I 8

I 8
5, 6, 7, I ate

I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I

5, 6, 7, I ate
I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I

I got 4 rims on my way
Get out of the way
Light up your heart
Let me tell my name
Remember it clearly
Don’t care if I am late
I can make it worth the wait
Count to 5, 6, 7, I 8

I left no crumbs

IVE Wonyoung “8” Meaning

IVE Wonyoung’s solo song “Eight” uses the number 8 as a clever, multi-layered symbol that connects identity, infinity, and self-confidence. Visually, when the number 8 is turned sideways, it forms the infinity symbol (∞), representing eternity and limitless potential. This ties into the Korean word for eternity, 영원 (young-won), which phonetically mirrors her name, 원영 (Wonyoung), when reversed—reinforcing a playful yet meaningful link between her identity and the concept of forever.

The song also uses wordplay through the pronunciation of “8” as “ate,” which appears in the lyric “count to five, six, seven, I ate,” a slang expression meaning she succeeded flawlessly or “left no crumbs.” Through these layers of symbolism and lyricism, the track becomes an empowering anthem of self-assurance, presenting Wonyoung as someone whose confidence, talent, and presence feel infinite and unshakable.
