aespa “Fangirl” Lyrics

Hangul

Yeah

A to Z, A to Z
Show ya how to be like me
乗ってみてこの rhythm
Ride the beat
Look at me, take some notes
Get me a new microphone
Tell me, what you wanna know from me?
Everything you need, I’ma give it all

I got that sugar and spice
優しいだけじゃない
知ってるの how to play
誰よりも, I slay

Oh, you a fangirl? You a stan girl
追いかけてきて if you can, girl
踏み込む one step
You’re in my world
Now you wanna be me?
Wanna be me
Fangirl? You a stan girl
近づいてみて if you can, girl
気づけば so hooked
You’re in my world
Now you wanna be me, wanna be me? (Yeah)

Thirsty for attention, baby
止まらない mentions, baby
密かに make you want me
Ah, yes, somehow I drive you crazy
生まれつきよ 光る sense
思い通り進む plan
比べられないような class
I’ll score a hundred if it’s a test

I got that sugar and spice
優しいだけじゃない
知ってるの how to play
誰よりも, I slay

Oh, you a fangirl? You a stan girl
追いかけてきて if you can, girl
目が合って one look
You’re in my world
Now you wanna be me, wanna be me?
Fangirl? You a stan girl
近づいてみて if you can, girl
気づけば so hooked
You’re in my world
Now you wanna be me, wanna be me?

A little jealousy?
It ain’t cute, babe
I’m not your enemy
Tell me I’m that girl, that touché
誤魔化さないで
‘Cause you can’t hide it anymore
全部お見通し
You better get out of my way

Oh, you a fangirl? You a stan girl
追いかけてきて if you can, girl (追いかけてきて if you can)
