Hangul
Hey, boy, 넌 뭔데 머릿속이 복잡해
내가 고장 나 버린 듯
Mayday, 너 땜에 정신 나간 거 같애
I think I’m falling in love with you
어떡해 나 미쳤나 봐
틈만 나면 네 생각을 해 (Ah, ah)
자꾸 혼자 웃음이 나
이런 내가 낯설기만 해 (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Tell me now
너도 원하잖아
더 이상 망설이지 마 용기를 좀 내봐
어둠이 끝나가기 전에 one more chance
내 맘에 불을 질러줘
I don’t wanna let you go, woah, woah, woah

Our love is the realest and that’s how we ride
Never alone, never wondering

Hey, boy, who do you think you are? My head is so messy
It’s like I’ve completely broken down
Mayday, I think I’m losing my mind because of you
I think I’m falling in love with you
What should I do? I must be crazy
I think of you every chance I get (Ah, ah)
I keep laughing to myself
This version of me feels so strange (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
Tell me now
You want this too, don’t you?
Don’t hesitate anymore, show a little courage
Before the darkness ends, one more chance
Set my heart on fire

In my ear, every day and every day again
Tell me that you miss me

“I LIKE IT” captures the rush of falling hard for someone and not wanting to hide it. Bright, fast-paced, and slightly chaotic, the song turns a simple crush into a bold, high-energy confession where feelings are too strong to stay unspoken.
At its core, the track is about confident attraction. Instead of waiting or playing it cool, the lyrics push for action encouraging the other person to stop hesitating and finally make a move. This flips the usual dynamic, showing a proactive, fearless approach to love.
There’s also a sense of emotional overload. The narrator can’t stop thinking about their crush, with thoughts looping and intensifying, creating that familiar mix of excitement and nervousness. This “chaotic” feeling reflects the early stage of love where everything feels amplified.
What makes the song stand out is its playful assertiveness. Rather than being shy or unsure, the tone is direct and teasing almost daring the other person to step up. It embodies a “main character” energy, where the narrator owns their feelings without apology.
Musically, the upbeat tempo and catchy hook reinforce this mood, making it perfect for fun, energetic moments whether it’s playlists, social media trends, or just vibing with a crush.
