IVE’s hit song “LOVE DIVE” is a confident, siren-like anthem about unapologetic self-love and the thrill of surrendering to love. The title represents a dual message: inviting someone to dive headfirst into the depths of love, while also making a direct, affectionate nod to their official fandom, DIVE.

IVE “LOVE DIVE” Lyrics

Hangul

Ooh
Yeah
네가 참 궁금해 그건 너도 마찬가지 (ooh)
이거면 충분해 쫓고 쫓는 이런 놀이
참을 수 없는 이끌림과 호기심
묘한 너와 나 두고 보면 알겠지

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 눈동자 아래로
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 감추고 있는 거
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, it’s so bad (it’s so bad) it’s good (it’s good)
난 그 맘을 좀 봐야겠어

Narcissistic, my God, I love it
서로를 비춘 밤
아름다운 까만 눈빛 더 빠져 깊이
(넌 내게로, 난 네게로)
숨 참고 love dive

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, lalalala-lalala
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 어서 와서 love dive
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh, oh, perfect sacrifice
Yeah 숨 참고 love dive

마음은 이렇게 알다가도 모르지
사랑이라는 건 한순간에 필 테니
직접 들어와 두 눈으로 확인해
내 맘 가장 깊은 데로 오면 돼

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 망설일 시간은
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh 3초면 되는 걸
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, it’s so bad (it’s so bad) it’s good (it’s good)
원하면 감히 뛰어들어

Narcissistic, my God, I love it
서로를 비춘 밤 (hoo-ooh)
아름다운 까만 눈빛 더 빠져 깊이

Ooh, ooh

I am really curious about you, the same goes for you (Ooh, ooh)
This is enough, a chasing game
Can’t stand this attraction and curiosity
Strange you and I, we’ll see about that

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, it’s so bad (So bad) it’s good (It’s good)

The beautiful black eyes, diving deeper in
You into me, me into you
Hold the breath, love dive

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Come on in, love dive
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

Why is a heart so mysterious
A love blooms in an instant
Come inside and see it for yourself
You can come into the deepest part of my heart

Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Time to hesitate
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Three seconds is enough
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Yeah, it’s so bad (So bad) it’s good (It’s good)
If you want, dare to dive in

Narcissistic
My God, I love it
The night shone upon the two (Ooh)
The beautiful black
Eyes diving deeper in

Hold the breath, love dive

IVE “LOVE DIVE” Meaning

“LOVE DIVE” by IVE is a confident anthem about self-love, attraction, and fearlessly embracing love. Rather than waiting for love to happen, the song encourages listeners to take a bold leap and fully immerse themselves in their feelings.

A key theme of the song is self-confidence. Inspired by the myth of Narcissus, the lyrics celebrate recognizing your own worth and charm. The message is not about vanity, but about loving yourself enough to attract others naturally.

The song also reimagines the role of Cupid. Instead of passively waiting for romance, the narrator challenges the listener to take a chance on love and dive into the unknown without hesitation or fear of getting hurt.

Overall, “LOVE DIVE” blends themes of self-love and romance into a powerful message about confidence, courage, and trusting your instincts. It encourages listeners to embrace who they are and boldly jump into life’s opportunities.
