JENNIE “F.T.S.” Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Maybe it's time to take a leap of faith (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
And come to my senses and take my shirt off in the rain (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Strike a fuckin' match of love and desire and warm my hands up in the flame

[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever happened to freedom and honesty? (Ooh)
What matters to you, you, you, it's not that deep to me

[Chorus]
Fuck that shit, ah, yeah
Flip the script, ah, yeah
Inside of me, ah, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Fuck that shit, I am
Over it, ah, yeah
Off the grid, ah, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Fuck that shit)

[Verse 2]
I'm in love, you're on game
Switchin' up, switchin' lanes
Won't fight the urge, I'll go insane
I'll say what I want if this shit's true (True)
Oh, yeah, if that shit's true (If that shit's true)

JENNIE “F.T.S.” Meaning

Jennie explained that “F.T.S.” was born out of a deep conversation she had with her co-writers about how dreams eventually come true if you believe in them hard enough. She says that at the end of the conversation they decided to just say “Fuck that shit,” which eventually eventually became the song. Jennie challenges the need to conform, singing about breaking free, taking risks, and staying true to herself, no matter the expectations placed upon her. The lyrics reflect themes of independence, defiance, and self-empowerment, urging listeners to let go of societal norms and live on their own terms.

With a dual meaning, both “Fuck that shit” and “Flip the script,” the song highlights her determination to rewrite her own narrative and take control of her destiny. A standout moment comes in the pre-chorus, where she questions, “Whatever happened to freedom and honesty?” capturing the song’s raw frustration and emotional depth. Through its fearless message, emotive delivery, and anthemic energy, “F.T.S.” resonates as a powerful call to those ready to live unapologetically.
