aespa “SHAKIN’” Lyrics

Hangul

This is not acceptable behavior
Yeah, shakin’

낯선만큼 very outlandish
Yeah, I keep it pretty, keep it candid
굳이 꾸밀 필요도 없지
지금 있는 그대로, I’m a classic
Know you like my fashion (Yeah)
It’s all eyes on me, 날 가늠해, no need to mention
이미 main attraction (Yeah)
We bring the juice

더 빨라지는 tempo
예민한 감각이 날 깨워 feel good
네 마음을 삼킨 뒤 흔들어 ice breaks

I’ma have you shake, shakin’
I’ma have you shake, shakin’
You throwin’ fire at my, at my, at, at 
Yeah, I’ma have you shake, shakin’
Watch your throne, watch your throne
Watch your throne, watch your throne
멈칫하는 순간 I come for you
We bring the juice

Shakin’ in my view ’cause I’m so beautiful (What?)
겁이 날 만도 하지, you’re so typical (Yeah)
