V8 “girlsnboys” Lyrics

Hangul

I’m miserable, I can’t lie

我心早已疲惫, 不想再伪装

I think the girls and boys are so tired (Girls)

Boys and girls are so tired (Boys)

Girls and boys are so tired (Girls)

Boys and girls are so tired (Boys)

Eenie, meenie, miney, mo

She can’t get out of bed when she home

Bending over, touching her toes

What you waiting for? Let’s go

The world is all in a frenzy (Girls)

Overflowing with enmity (Boys)

Energy that says “Bite me” (Girls)

So many issues, so frightening (Boys)

现在我想放手试试

大胆重新来一次

Listen, so much division

愿这个世界多一点爱

有的人把我托起

有的人拉我出黑夜

I wanna be a free agent

Yeah, I gotta go right now

I’m miserable, I can’t lie

我心早已疲惫, 不想再伪装

I think the girls and boys are so tired (Girls)

Boys and girls are so tired (Boys)

Girls and boys are so tired (Girls)

Boys and girls are so tired (Boys)

Right now, I feel like going for it

Give it a go right now

We need more love in the world right now

有的人把我托起

有的人拉我出黑夜

I wanna be a free agent

Yeah, I gotta go right now

I’m miserable, I can’t lie

我心早已疲惫, 不想再伪装

V8 “girlsnboys” Meaning

“Girlsnboys” is a track by V8, the sub-unit of SEVENTEEN featuring Vernon and The8, from their self-titled debut mini-album. Co-created by Pharrell Williams and longtime SEVENTEEN producer BUMZU, the song explores themes of generational burnout, emotional exhaustion, and human connection. Built around a restrained blend of retro synths, heavy bass lines, mechanical drum machines, and a hypnotic mid-tempo groove, it deliberately moves away from the maximalist sound often associated with K-pop, allowing its message to take center stage.

Through lyrics such as “I think the girls and boys are so tired,” the song acknowledges the pressures and fatigue experienced by young people instead of glossing over them with forced optimism. At the same time, it delivers a hopeful message that despite our differences, everyone shares the same struggles and desires, emphasizing that the world needs more love and empathy. Among fans, the song has also been embraced as an inclusive anthem, with its gender-neutral references to “girls and boys” resonating as a celebration of love, solidarity, and connection beyond traditional boundaries.
