BABYMONSTER “I LIKE IT” Lyrics

Hangul

Hey, boy, 넌 뭔데 머릿속이 복잡해
내가 고장 나 버린 듯
Mayday, 너 땜에 정신 나간 거 같애
I think I’m falling in love with you

어떡해 나 미쳤나 봐
틈만 나면 네 생각을 해 (Ah, ah)
자꾸 혼자 웃음이 나
이런 내가 낯설기만 해 (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

Tell me now
너도 원하잖아
더 이상 망설이지 마 용기를 좀 내봐
어둠이 끝나가기 전에 one more chance

내 맘에 불을 질러줘
I don’t wanna let you go, woah, woah, woah
내 귀에 매일 또 매일
보고 싶다 말을 해줘
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

It’s a kind of love got me thunderstruck
I can’t get enough of you, ooh-ah
Boy, you’re really like one in a milli
Never gon let it fizzle out
You got me all in my feelings
Our love is the realest and that’s how we ride
Never alone, never wondering
‘Cause you forever my future

Tell me now
너도 원하잖아
더 이상 망설이지 마 용기를 좀 내봐
어둠이 끝나가기 전에 one more chance

내 맘에 불을 질러줘
I don’t wanna let you go, woah, woah, woah
내 귀에 매일 또 매일
보고 싶다 말을 해줘
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

How you feel like that, my heart beats fast
And you love like that, 기다려 온 순간
너와 함께라면 설레
And I can’t get enough ’cause the light won’t go down

I li-li-like it, I li-li-like it (Ooh)

Hey, boy, who do you think you are? My head is so messy
It’s like I’ve completely broken down
Mayday, I think I’m losing my mind because of you
I think I’m falling in love with you

What should I do? I must be crazy
I think of you every chance I get (Ah, ah)
I keep laughing to myself
This version of me feels so strange (Ayy, ayy, ayy)

Tell me now
You want this too, don’t you?
Don’t hesitate anymore, show a little courage
Before the darkness ends, one more chance

Set my heart on fire
I don’t wanna let you go, woah, woah, woah
In my ear, every day and every day again
Tell me that you miss me
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh…

It’s a kind of love got me thunderstruck
I can’t get enough of you, ooh-ah
Boy, you’re really like one in a milli
Never gon let it fizzle out
You got me all in my feelings
Our love is the realest and that’s how we ride
Never alone, never wondering
‘Cause you forever my future

Tell me now
You want this too, don’t you?
Don’t hesitate anymore, show a little courage
Before the darkness ends, one more chance

And you love like that, the moment I’ve been waiting for
When I’m with you, my heart flutters
And I can’t get enough ’cause the light won’t go down

BABYMONSTER “I LIKE IT” Meaning

“I LIKE IT” captures the rush of falling hard for someone and not wanting to hide it. Bright, fast-paced, and slightly chaotic, the song turns a simple crush into a bold, high-energy confession where feelings are too strong to stay unspoken.

At its core, the track is about confident attraction. Instead of waiting or playing it cool, the lyrics push for action encouraging the other person to stop hesitating and finally make a move. This flips the usual dynamic, showing a proactive, fearless approach to love.

There’s also a sense of emotional overload. The narrator can’t stop thinking about their crush, with thoughts looping and intensifying, creating that familiar mix of excitement and nervousness. This “chaotic” feeling reflects the early stage of love where everything feels amplified.

What makes the song stand out is its playful assertiveness. Rather than being shy or unsure, the tone is direct and teasing almost daring the other person to step up. It embodies a “main character” energy, where the narrator owns their feelings without apology.

Musically, the upbeat tempo and catchy hook reinforce this mood, making it perfect for fun, energetic moments whether it’s playlists, social media trends, or just vibing with a crush.
