JAY B “Layback” Lyrics

Hangul

Look, 어두운 밤과 함께
네가 내게 다가올 때 (Look at you)
I’ll be howling for ya
Can change my type
닮아가 you and I
I ain’t gonna play with you
날 믿어주기만 해
난 네게 솔직한 내 맘을 풀어놓을게
넌 받아주면 돼

Don’t wanna go back
날 가져도 돼 어차피 난 네게
Deep into you
We can make it something

Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback
내뱉은 숨결을 내게 줘 wanna get you now
너의 시선 따라 movin’ on, lady
Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback
날 꺼내줘 매일 밤
Our tempo makes more layback
So we’re gonna have perfect night, oh

너에게 좀 더 나를 각인시켜 매일
한눈 팔지 못하게
넌 항상 너의 맘을 확인시켜 babe
Not enough always, I

Want to you more
I’m not anyone
다 보여줘 더 내게
그림자로 널 덮어갈 때
쌓여가는 화음에 right

Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback
내뱉은 숨결을 내게 줘 wanna get you now
너의 시선 따라 movin’ on, lady
Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback
날 꺼내줘 매일 밤
Our tempo makes more layback
So we’re gonna have perfect night, oh

빛이 없이 밝혀주네 (너와 나)
바라본 곳이 같을 때 (때)
어둠 속 안에 감춰진 내
모습을 open it
서로 맘을 이어주는 sticky lines
살짝 절어도 돼 되려 that’s my type
늘어지는 우리의 모습 속에 난
I can take you high

Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback (Slow)
내뱉은 숨결을 내게 줘 wanna get you now (Wanna get you now)
너의 시선 따라 movin’ on, lady
Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback
날 꺼내줘 매일 밤
Our tempo makes more layback
So we’re gonna have perfect night, oh

Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
너의 시선 따라 movin’ on, lady
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
So we’re gonna have perfect night

You got me, baby (Ooh)
Always I need you

Translation

This track is a smooth, sultry R&B/pop anthem centered on deep intimacy, intense mutual attraction, and slowing down time with a lover. Using the musical concept of a “layback”—deliberately performing slightly behind the main beat to create a relaxed, groovy pocket—the lyrics serve as an invitation to shut out the world, sync up breath by breath, and let a magnetic connection take over the night.

Layback (English Translation)
Look, along with the dark night,
When you come close to me (Look at you)
I’ll be howling for ya
Can change my type
Becoming more alike, you and I
I ain’t gonna play with you
Just trust me
I’ll fully untangle and pour out my honest heart to you
All you have to do is accept it

Don’t wanna go back
You can have me, because either way, I’m already
Deep into you
We can make it something

Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback
Give me your exhaled breath, wanna get you now
Following your gaze, movin’ on, lady
Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback
Pull me out every single night
Our tempo makes more layback
So we’re gonna have perfect night, oh

I imprint myself onto you just a bit more every day
So that your eyes can never wander
You always make me reaffirm your heart, babe
Not enough always, I

Want to you more
I’m not anyone
Show me even more of everything you have
When I start to drape over you like a shadow
Right into the stacking, building harmonies

Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback
Give me your exhaled breath, wanna get you now
Following your gaze, movin’ on, lady
Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback
Pull me out every single night
Our tempo makes more layback
So we’re gonna have perfect night, oh

It lights us up completely without any actual light (you and I)
When the place we are looking toward is the exact same
My true self hidden away inside the deep darkness—
Open it
Sticky lines connecting our hearts to one another
It’s fine to falter or stumble just a bit, in fact, that’s my type
Inside our drifting, unwinding forms, I—
I can take you high

Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback (Slow)
Give me your exhaled breath, wanna get you now (Wanna get you now)
Following your gaze, movin’ on, lady
Take it, we’re gonna slow it down like a layback
Pull me out every single night
Our tempo makes more layback
So we’re gonna have perfect night, oh

Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
Following your gaze, movin’ on, lady
Oh-oh, oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh
So we’re gonna have perfect night

You got me, baby (Ooh)
Always I need you
