Whatever (English Translation) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You know I’ve been there, done that
That’s all, so bored
Caption attached to me
What, Jae-min, no more
Yeah, a little slow
Off road beyond the noise
See I’m anywhere
Just go on at my own pace
[Pre-Chorus]
I know different
The broken fantasy in that frame
All those pieces
Cannot hurt me
Whatever you want
[Chorus]
It doesn’t matter, whatever
Laugh it off, see where it goes
Whatever
Take a breath and look around
No matter
Worry is not mine, just find your sign
Whatever
It’s whatever, it’s true (It’s whatever, it’s true)
[Post-Chorus]
Ah
[Verse 2]
A selfie without a filter
A perfect shot of me
Don’t need to be something, yeah
Because it’s already enough
Unknown
Left, right, upside down
Unfamiliar signboard
Dancing step by step
Attracted Do as you are
[Pre-Chorus]
Overflowing questions
Freak who doesn’t want the truth
Keep my own track
Whatever you draw in your head
[Chorus]
Like a spell, whatever
Shout it three times, see where it goes (Whatever, whatever, whatever)
Whatever
Take a breath and look around
No matter
Worry is not mine
Just find your sign
Whatever
It’s whatever, it’s true
[Post-Chorus]
(baby, don’t)
(now, you know)
(keep it to yourself, yeah)
It’s whatever
[Chorus]
It’s all okay, whatever
Just let it go (That’s it)
Whatever
Whatever is waiting for me
No matter
Worry is not mine
Just trust your sign
Whatever
It’s whatever, it’s true
[Outro]
Whatever, whatever
Whatever, yeah
Baby, I’m fine with whatever
It’s true, it’s true, oh, it’s true, ooh
Whatever Meaning
[Verse 1]
SEULGI opens the song with a reflection on past experiences that now feel mundane and unexciting. She rejects the need for labels or predefined narratives, instead choosing to move at her own speed. The phrase “봐 난 어디서든 / 그저 내 속도로 go on” emphasizes her personal autonomy—regardless of the circumstances, she remains true to herself, moving forward on her own terms.
[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus introduces the idea of breaking away from illusions. SEULGI acknowledges that the fantasies people construct often hold no real power over her. She embraces individuality and refuses to be confined by external expectations, making it clear that she will choose her own path without fear of judgment or failure.
[Chorus]
The chorus reinforces the carefree theme, with SEULGI declaring that nothing really matters—”상관없어 whatever”—because life is about seeing where things naturally lead. She encourages a shift in perspective, suggesting that stepping back and observing without stress can open new possibilities. Rather than getting caught up in worries, she advises listeners to find their own direction and trust the process.
[Post-Chorus]
The post-chorus offers a brief, airy transition that maintains the song’s effortless tone. The repetition of “It’s whatever” serves as a mantra, emphasizing the relaxed mindset she advocates. By letting go of rigid expectations, she fully embraces the freedom of simply existing.
[Verse 2]
SEULGI continues the theme of self-acceptance, using an unfiltered selfie as a metaphor for embracing one’s true self. She dismisses the pressure to fit a certain mold, asserting that she is already enough as she is. The mention of “Left, right, upside down” suggests unpredictability in life, but rather than resisting it, she chooses to go with the flow, moving step by step in a dance-like rhythm.
[Pre-Chorus]
Returning to the pre-chorus, SEULGI addresses the overwhelming number of questions people ask, but highlights how many don’t truly seek the truth. Instead of getting lost in external noise, she chooses to focus on her own path, reinforcing her commitment to personal freedom and self-determination.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats with added emphasis on the phrase “주문처럼 whatever”, likening it to a spell or affirmation. By repeating the word three times, she strengthens the message of surrendering control and seeing where life naturally leads. The encouragement to take a deep breath and look around suggests mindfulness, reinforcing the idea that sometimes, the answers are already within reach.
[Post-Chorus]
A slight variation of the post-chorus adds a playful touch, reminding listeners that adopting this carefree attitude is a personal choice. The phrase “keep it to yourself” suggests that self-assurance doesn’t need external validation—it’s enough to simply believe in oneself.
[Chorus]
In the final chorus, SEULGI fully embraces the notion that everything is okay as it is. She reassures that whatever awaits her, she is ready for it, and urges listeners to do the same. The phrase “날 기다리는 게 뭐든지” reflects a deep trust in the unknown, demonstrating the confidence to face whatever comes next.
[Outro]
The outro serves as a final affirmation of peace and acceptance. SEULGI repeats “whatever”, solidifying the idea that she is content with herself and her journey. The closing line, “Baby, I’m fine with whatever”, encapsulates the entire song’s message—life is unpredictable, but by embracing the moment and staying true to oneself, everything falls into place.
