[Intro] [whispered vocals] Too much, too loud Turn it down, right now [spoken] Breathe in You’re good as you are [Verse 1] They say, “Post that, wear this Act cold, talk slick, don’t miss” Scrolling till my eyes feel numb Heart racing like a marching drum Laugh track on my every move If I trip, they screen and zoom But I’m more than their highlight reel More than filters on a spinning wheel [Pre-Chorus] Every room feels like a test Am I “in” if I impress? But this hallway, these lockers, this fight It’s just one page in a bigger life [Chorus] It’s a short time in life, don’t lose you Don’t twist your heart just to seem “cool” When the pressure gets loud like a siren in your head Walk your way, don’t follow them instead Short time in life, it’ll all move on Friends come and go, but your truth stays strong When it feels like the world needs you to fit their view Look in the mirror, say, “I choose me, not you” [Verse 2] “Take one sip, just one time Skip that line, you’ll be fine” But I see headlines in my mind Future me, left far behind So I ghost that group chat dare Hit my real ones, “Y’all still there?” We hit late fries, cheap store run Laugh so hard, we’re overdone [Pre-Chorus] I won’t play a part I hate Just to get a nod, a fake “you’re great” If you bounce ‘cause I said “that’s not me” Then you never were my family [Chorus] It’s a short time in life, don’t lose you Don’t twist your heart just to seem “cool” When the pressure gets loud like a siren in your head Walk your way, don’t follow them instead Short time in life, it’ll all move on Friends come and go, but your truth stays strong When it feels like the world needs you to fit their view Look in the mirror, say, “I choose me, not you” [Bridge] [male vocal, low] Yeah, I’ll be the “weird one,” stand in the back row Shoes worn down, but I walk my own tempo If they point, let ’em point, that’s free promo ‘Cause being me is my logo [female vocal, airy] No more shrinking just to fit their screen I’m not a trend, I’m a whole unseen When it hurts, I remember this line This is just a moment, not my entire life [Chorus] [Chorus]

rap, Bright K-pop rap with alternating male/female vocals, bouncy synths, and tight drum programming. Verses stay rhythmically playful with quick-fire rap lines; pre-chorus strips back to plucky keys and bass before the chorus explodes with stacked gang vocals and chanty hooks. Middle eight adds a half-time groove and vocal call-and-response, then final chorus hits with extra ad-libs and harmonies for a festival-ready climax., k pop
