HBD Lyrics

[Refrain]
내일 없는 매일을 살고 있잖아
오늘 하룬 살고픈 대로 살 거야
촛불 켜고서 소원을 빌어 다 이뤄질 거야
Happy birthday to you

[Verse 1]
마음처럼 되는 건 이 세상엔 없었어
골치 아픈 얘긴 껌딱지 같잖아
힘내라는 말 위로 되지 않아 꺼져
말 같잖은 소린 그만해 해 해
손가락질 진절머리 났어
맘 같아선 한 대 치고 싶어
그래도 난 다시 태어나도
지금의 나로 살고 싶어 어 어

[Refrain]
내일 없는 매일을 살고 있잖아
오늘 하룬 살고픈 대로 살 거야
촛불 켜고서 소원을 빌어 다
이뤄질 거야

[Chorus]
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you, you, you, you
Happy birthday to you

[Verse 2]
착해빠진 멍청이라 욕먹으면 어때
하나부터 열까지 강요받는 세상에
뜨거워진 내 맘을 얕잡아봐선 안 돼
끝날 때까지 끝까지 run, run, run
맘대로 내 맘대로, yeah, yeah
오늘은 내 맘대로, yeah, yeah, yeah
촛불 켜고서 소원을 빌어 이뤄질거야

[Chorus]
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you, you, you, you
Happy birthday to you

[Bridge]
오늘은 날 위한
나만의 celebration night
멈추지 않을 거야
It’s like happy birthday, yeah

[Post-Bridge]
이렇게 계속 불 불 불 지필래
I don’t care 어지럽게
오늘 밤은 미쳐버릴래
Let’s go

[Outro]
Boom, brr, rock it, 오늘 밤은 미쳐 like this
Boom, brr, rock it, hey, hey, hey, hey
Boom, brr, rock it, 오늘 밤은 미쳐 like this
Boom, brr, rock it, happy birthday to you

HBD Lyrics in Korean

[Refrain]
In this opening section, SEVENTEEN immediately sets the tone for the song with a reflection on living each day as if there’s no tomorrow. The repeated lighting of candles and making wishes symbolizes a ritual of hope and resilience. It emphasizes the desire to seize the present and shape one’s own destiny, rejecting hesitation or fear.

[Verse 1]
WOOZI and the group acknowledge the harshness of reality, where things rarely go as planned. The verse is raw, expressing frustration with hollow encouragement and unsolicited judgment. The imagery of wanting to fight back but still choosing self-acceptance shows maturity and defiance. Despite external pressures, they assert the worth of living life authentically—even if given a second chance, they’d choose to be exactly who they are.

[Refrain]
Repeating this section reinforces the message of embracing the present and having faith in one’s wishes. It serves as an anchor, reminding listeners of the song’s uplifting intent amid darker emotional undercurrents.

[Chorus]
The chorus is a celebratory release, centering on the simple but powerful phrase, “Happy birthday to you.” This refrain, traditionally sung to others, becomes a personal mantra, reclaiming joy and recognition for oneself. Its repetition builds an anthem-like quality, making it universal and communal.

[Verse 2]
This verse continues the theme of resisting conformity. SEVENTEEN confronts criticism head-on, embracing their sensitivity and emotional depth. They challenge the world’s expectations and vow to keep moving forward with intensity and determination. The line “오늘은 내 맘대로” (“Today is my way”) boldly declares a desire for autonomy and freedom, aligning with the overall celebratory defiance of the track.

[Chorus]
The return of the chorus reiterates the message of self-celebration and empowerment. The repeated “you, you, you, you” underscores individual recognition, echoing the idea that everyone deserves to be acknowledged.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, SEVENTEEN introduces a more intimate tone, referring to the day as a personal “celebration night.” This section shifts the spotlight entirely inward, portraying the birthday not just as a date but as a metaphor for reclaiming one’s narrative. It’s a moment of solitude, pride, and unstoppable joy.

[Post-Bridge]
This high-energy post-bridge is a turning point, signaling emotional and physical liberation. With rebellious energy, SEVENTEEN vows to “set fire” metaphorically, letting go of inhibitions. The chaos is welcomed, and the desire to lose oneself in celebration reinforces the theme of freedom and unfiltered expression.

[Outro]
The outro bursts with explosive sound imagery—“Boom, brr, rock it”—creating an ecstatic, party-like climax. It echoes the wild spirit introduced earlier and leaves listeners with an exhilarating, unrestrained farewell. The final “Happy birthday to you” becomes a triumphant conclusion to this emotionally layered, joyful declaration of self.
