EXO “Crown” Lyrics

Hangul

Yeah, 네 앞에 내려와 (Yeah)
기꺼이 받을 crown
Now we back and touching down (Yeah)
It’s the king of the town (Yeah, yeah)
On the streets see the crowd (Yeah)
Take that 가져도 돼 모든 걸 (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, we comin’ for that (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah, 너에게 내 전부를 걸어
Now we comin’ for that (Crown)
절대 누구도 허락할 수 없어
망가지더라도 다 던져
널 위해 지켜낼 crown (Comin’ for that)
유일한 주인은 너니까
손을 뻗어 망설이지 마 comin’ to the throne

입 맞춘 그 순간 느낀 truth, yeah
너라는 운명의 장난 같은 pain
쉽게 맘을 뺏겨가
선택지는 하나 ride or die

(Woah) Yeah, sirens in the night, woah
너를 노리는 sight, woah, 갖고 싶어 다 (Crown)
(Woah) Yeah, 마주치는 시선 속 날 끄는 손
움직일 수 없게 날 만들어 넌

너를 향한 예감은
하나 둘 매번 적중해
심장을 파고든 감각이
새겨져 내게 (Comin’ for that)

Yeah, 너에게 내 전부를 걸어
Now we comin’ for that (Crown)
절대 누구도 허락할 수 없어
망가지더라도 다 던져
널 위해 지켜낼 crown (Comin’ for that)
유일한 주인은 너니까
손을 뻗어 망설이지 마 comin’ to the throne

저 수많은 눈이 원망을 해
난 오직 네 눈길 하나면 돼
Hard truth or hard for you to see
남은 건 오직 너의 선택뿐

(Woah) Yeah, sirens in the night, woah
이미 시작된 fight, woah, 후회는 없어 난
(Woah) Yeah, 좁혀지는 시야 속 날 향한 손
그거면 난 되는 걸

너를 향한 퍼즐이
하나 둘 맞춰져 끝내
기다린 시간이 다가와
Rise until the end (Comin’ for that)

Yeah, 너에게 내 전부를 걸어
Now we comin’ for that
절대 누구도 허락할 수 없어
망가지더라도 다 던져
널 위해 지켜낼 crown (Comin’ for that)
유일한 주인은 너니까
손을 뻗어 망설이지 마 comin’ to the throne

이제 누구도 막지 못할
자리에 다 왔어
긴 장면들을 지나 널 마주하지
‘Cause it’s time
Comin’ for that

Crown, crown, crown

망가지더라도 다 던져
널 위해 지켜낼 crown (Comin’ for that)

Translation

Yeah, I come down right in front of you (Yeah)
I’ll gladly take the crown
Now we back and touching down (Yeah)
It’s the king of the town (Yeah, yeah)
On the streets see the crowd (Yeah)
Take that, you can have it all (Yeah, yeah)
Yeah, we comin’ for that (Yeah, yeah)

Yeah, I’m all in for you
Now we comin’ for that (Crown)
No one can take this from us
Even if it breaks me, I’ll give it all
I’ll protect the crown for you (Comin’ for that)
‘Cause you’re the only rightful one
Reach out, don’t hesitate, comin’ to the throne

The moment our lips touched, I knew the truth, yeah
You’re a pain twisted by fate
My heart slips away so easily
One choice left, ride or die

(Woah) Yeah, sirens in the night, woah
You’re in their sights, woah, I want it all (Crown)
(Woah) Yeah, as our eyes cross a hand pulls me in
You freeze me in place

Every instinct about you
Turns out to be true
Senses cutting into my heart
Etched into me (Comin’ for that)

Yeah, I’m all in for you
Now we comin’ for that (Crown)
No one can take this from us
Even if it breaks me, I’ll give it all
I’ll protect the crown for you (Comin’ for that)
‘Cause you’re the only rightful one
Reach out, don’t hesitate, comin’ to the throne

Those countless eyes filled with blame
But all I need is your gaze
Hard truth or hard for you to see
All that’s left is your choice

(Woah) Yeah, sirens in the night, woah
The fight’s already on, woah, I’ve got no regrets
Yeah, as my vision closes in a hand reaching out to me
That’s all I need

The puzzle leading to you
Falls into place, one by one
The moment I’ve waited for arrives
Rise until the end (Comin’ for that)

Yeah, I’m all in for you
Now we comin’ for that
No one can take this from us
Even if it breaks me, I’ll give it all
I’ll protect the crown for you (Comin’ for that)
‘Cause you’re the only rightful one
Reach out, don’t hesitate, comin’ to the throne

No one can stop us now
We’re finally here
Through endless scenes
I face you now
‘Cause it’s time
Comin’ for that

Crown, crown, crown

Even if it breaks me, I’ll give it all
I’ll protect the crown for you (Comin’ for that)
‘Cause you’re the only rightful one
Reach out, don’t hesitate, comin’ to the throne

EXO “Crown” Meaning

EXO’s “Crown” delivers a powerful message of devotion and protection through a bold hard dance track that blends Atlanta trap drums, heavy metal guitar, and EDM synths. The song’s intense soundscape, amplified by siren effects and strong vocal delivery, creates a sense of urgency and determination that reflects the emotional weight of the lyrics.

In the song, EXO compares a precious person to a “crown,” symbolizing something deeply valuable and worth protecting at all costs. Lines such as “I’ll stake everything on you” and “Even if I’m ruined, I’ll throw it all away to protect your crown” highlight a strong sense of loyalty and sacrifice. The lyrics portray unwavering determination to defend what matters most, even in the face of personal risk.

The performance further emphasizes this concept by incorporating symbolic elements from EXO’s long-running universe. A key choreography move resembling the act of placing a crown on one’s head visually reinforces the song’s theme of protection and honor, making “Crown” not only a powerful musical statement but also a compelling performance piece.
