NewJeans “Right Now” Lyrics

Hangul

In no mood to find another
曖昧な関係のまま
さあ 見つけにいくだけよ
Right now, right now
Baby I don’t

Care about the other summer
지금 내가 필요한 건
もう待てない
I wanna hear it right now, right now
Baby I don’t

Hey
言いたいなら言ってよ
もう私壊れそう
더 늦지 말고 Come my way, my way

Cuz it all depends
On the right timing
Don’t wanna close
The door behind me
君の声 また
다가와봐
Right now, right now
Baby I’m not

In no mood to find another
曖昧な関係のまま
さあ 見つけにいくだけよ
Right now, right now
Baby I don’t

Care about the other summer
지금 내가 필요한 건
もう待てない
I wanna hear it right now, right now
Baby I don’t care

I don’t care
I don’t care
Right now, right now
Baby I don’t

Hey
チャンスは今ここに
一生モノの Sweet romance
얼른 잡아줘 Hold my hand, my hand

Cuz it all depends
On the right timing
Don’t wanna close
The door behind me
君の声 また

Translation

In no mood to find another
I’m just out looking
With things unclear between us
Right now, right now
Baby I don’t

Care about the other summer
What I need now
I can’t wait any longer
I wanna hear it right now, right now
Baby I don’t

Hey
Say what’s on your mind
Or else I might get broken
Don’t lose time, come my way, my way

Cuz it all depends
On the right timing
Don’t wanna close
The door behind me
Your voice
Come closer Again
Right now, right now
Baby I’m not

In no mood to find another
I’m just out looking
With things unclear between us
Right now, right now
Baby I don’t

Care about the other summer
What I need now
I can’t wait any longer
I wanna hear it right now, right now
Baby I don’t care

I don’t care
I don’t care
Right now, right now
Baby I don’t

Hey
Your chance is here and now
Grab hold of this sweet romance
Quickly, hold my hand, my hand

Cuz it all depends
On the right timing
Don’t wanna close
The door behind me
Your voice
Come closer Again
Right now, right now
Baby I’m not

In no mood to find another
I’m just out looking
With things unclear between us
Right now, right now
Baby I don’t

Care about the other summer
What I need now
I can’t wait any longer
I wanna hear it right now, right now
Baby I don’t care

I don’t care
I don’t care
Right now, right now
Baby I don’t

NewJeans “Right Now” Meaning

“Right Now” by NewJeans captures the restless emotions that come with waiting for someone you like to finally reveal how they truly feel. Built around the frustration of mixed signals and uncertain feelings, the song expresses the impatience of wanting clarity in a relationship that has remained emotionally ambiguous for too long. Rather than quietly hiding their emotions, the members directly ask for an honest answer, emphasizing that they can no longer keep waiting without knowing where they stand.

The track’s youthful and energetic tone reflects the excitement, nervousness, and urgency of young love, while its lyrics highlight the desire to move past confusion and uncertainty. This feeling is also portrayed throughout the music video, where the members anxiously wait for a reply from their alleged crush, visually reinforcing the song’s theme of anticipation and emotional vulnerability.
