ILLIT “Almond Chocolate” Lyrics
Japanese
“推し” は癒し 飽きず尊い
遠い存在 見てるだけでいい
なのにどうして?
目と目が合ってる
触れる距離に 君がいる
ねぇ神様 キャパ超えだよ
知るほどに 知りたくなる
一口かじれば
そう意外な味に ハマっていくの
君はまるで almond chocolate
甘い外側 苦い内側
過剰な摂取で すでに中毒
溢れだす この気持ち
綺麗な瞳 手の温もり
ずるいセリフに 気まぐれなsmile
ひとつひとつ 胸のフォルダに
君を追加していくたび
好きになっていく
“推し” はenergy 消える悩み
“恋” は苦しい 増えていく悩み
今はどっちか まだ知らないけど
高鳴ってる 鼓動は確か
ねぇ神様 同じ時代 (とき) に
出会えた奇跡 ありがとう
隠れた姿に
気づけた私は きっと lucky girl
君はまるで almond chocolate
甘い外側 苦い内側
過剰な摂取で すでに中毒
溢れだす この気持ち 君も同じ?
私だけが知っている だけじゃない魅力
甘くとろける 苦く弾ける
その全てが special
君はまるで almond chocolate
甘い外側 苦い内側
過剰な摂取で すでに中毒
溢れだす この気持ち
綺麗な瞳 手の温もり
ずるいセリフに 気まぐれな smile
ひとつひとつ 胸のフォルダに
君を追加していくたび
輝く世界

Translation
You’re my remedy, a precious presence
Even if I can’t reach you, just seeing you is pleasant
But why, oh, why do our eyes keep meeting?
Everywhere I go, we’re always meeting
Really, oh, my god, this can’t be real
The more I know, the more I want to know
Just one little bite and
I’m lost in a taste I never dreamed of
You’re just like almond chocolate
That bittersweet taste, I’m lost in it
There’s no way out, I’m already addicted
My heart is gonna overflow
Those lovely eyes, the warmth of your hands
Your cheeky words and your runaway smile
One by one in my heart’s folder
I add a memory of you
And my love grows
You’re my energy, say goodbye to worries
But love’s a tricky thing, gives rise to new worries
I still don’t understand what this feeling is
But my heart’s getting louder, I’m sure of it
Really, oh, my god, at the same time
Grateful for the miracle that led me to you
And that hidden part of you
That’s what I discovered, I’m a real lucky girl
You’re just like almond chocolate
That bittersweet taste, I’m lost in it
There’s no way out, I’m already addicted
My heart is gonna overflow wonder if you feel it too
Nobody could see your hidden charms but me
Melt so sweetly as the bitter flavor spreads
Everything about you’s so special
You’re just like almond chocolate
That bittersweet taste, I’m lost in it
There’s no way out, I’m already addicted
My heart is gonna overflow
Those lovely eyes, the warmth of your hands
Your cheeky words and your runaway smile
One by one in my heart’s folder
I add a memory of you
And the world shines brighter
ILLIT “Almond Chocolate” Meaning
“Almond Chocolate” is a bright and playful track that uses sweets as a metaphor for the emotions of a crush. Just like almond chocolate sweet on the outside with a slightly bitter core the song reflects how love can feel exciting and comforting, yet also surprising and a little overwhelming.

At its core, the lyrics explore bittersweet romance. The “chocolate” represents the sugary, fluttering feelings of liking someone, while the “almond” symbolizes the unexpected complexity hidden beneath. This contrast captures the reality of a crush where everything feels dreamy, but there’s also uncertainty and curiosity about the other person.
With its light, nostalgic, and “frilly” sound, “Almond Chocolate” enhances the youthful and innocent mood of first love. The song ultimately celebrates the addictive nature of these emotions sweet, slightly bitter, and impossible to resist.
