What’s Your Problem? (English Translation) Lyrics

[Intro]
What’s your problem?
Got thousands of them
They ain’t mine (They ain’t mine)

[Verse 1]
You love me more than you
I know you love me
I force myself to be like you, you what? (So what?)
I beg you to only look at me, no, nah (Nah)
Thorns grow under my fingernails
My ego blooms brighter for me
Why are you upset again, like a child?
Stop, shut up, stop, shut up

[Pre-Chorus]
You dance over the red line
Your feelings are the worst

[Chorus]
Sit still
My eyes that were boringly looking at you
I never doubted it once why
You say I’m the problem (Like what?)
You obsessed with me
That kind of illusion that’s no fun
Isn’t it funny? I’m more than your fantasy

[Post-Chorus]
What’s your problem?
Got thousands of them
I’m more than your fantasy

[Verse 2]
Yeah
Know, I’m-know, I’m fabulous
I’m never serious (Huh?)
Stop it, boring, furious (What?)
All in for me who never wanted anything first (Ooh)
You pour it out and whine more
Uh, super sneaky, sleazy
Met me one time then acting really needy (Ew)
I’m only for me (For me)
I can’t do it, I’m an accessary for you (Sorry)

[Pre-Chorus]
Eventually cross the line (Cross the line)
Alone, you’re black out (Black out you)
Come to your senses (Stop)
I don’t play along

[Chorus]
Pretending to be sweet again (Hovering around me)
You endlessly blame me (A to Z)
It’s all for me
You said you were the problem, but I’m perfect (Look at me)
Even that’s so fun
Only you don’t know (Why are you checking up on me?)
I’m more than your fantasy (Can’t you see that?)

[Bridge]
I’m minding mine, I still shine bright
I’m loving all of me (All of me)
Where’s your pride? Look straight
You’ve lost your sanity (Sanity)
I’m minding mine, I still shine bright
I’m loving all of me
Where’s your pride? look at me
I’m obsessed with me

[Refrain]
Eh-oh-eh-oh-eh
Out of fantasy
Eh-oh-eh-oh-eh
You all up on me, like what?
Eh-oh-eh-oh-eh
Out of fantasy (Like what?)
Eh-oh-eh-oh-eh
I will make my scene, like what?

[Chorus]
What’s your problem? (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
To say it, even an all-nighter is not enough
Got thousands of them
Your boring fantasy
What’s your problem? (Oh, ooh)
Only you don’t know me, I’m my own answer (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Got thousands of them
I’m more than your fantasy

[Outro]
Eh-oh-eh-oh-eh

What’s Your Problem? Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
The intro immediately confronts the listener with a rhetorical jab—“What’s your problem?” Irene and Seulgi deflect responsibility, suggesting that the issues being projected onto them don’t belong to them. It sets a tone of confrontation and confidence, dismantling the idea of emotional blame.

[Verse 1]
This verse highlights the emotional complexity of knowing someone loves you too much, even as you feel increasingly distant. Irene and Seulgi critique the partner’s controlling affection while exposing their own reluctance to be molded. They depict the discomfort of being guilted for independence, hinting at emotional exhaustion and drawing a boundary against manipulation masked as love.

[Pre-Chorus]
Here, Seulgi and Irene liken the partner’s behavior to dancing recklessly on a red line—dangerously close to overstepping boundaries. Their internal motives are transparent and unimpressive, revealing the shallowness and predictability of their emotional tactics. The tone is judgmental, laced with disappointment.

[Chorus]
The chorus flips the narrative entirely. Irene and Seulgi coolly observe the partner’s accusations, mocking the idea that they are the problem. Instead, they challenge the delusion that they were ever just a fantasy to fulfill. Their rejection of this fantasy exposes the absurdity of their partner’s expectations, positioning themselves as more complex and self-aware than the other’s limited view.

[Post-Chorus]
In this brief section, the artists double down on the central theme. “I’m more than your fantasy” becomes a mantra, asserting autonomy while further distancing themselves from the partner’s imagined version of them. It’s a powerful affirmation of self-perception.

[Verse 2]
JULIE brings a fierce new energy here, dismantling the partner’s entitlement with biting sarcasm. She brands them immature, overly attached, and demanding without giving. JULIE refuses to be used or reduced to an accessory, emphasizing her independence. The self-loving tone of the verse blends sass with clarity—she owes them nothing and isn’t afraid to say so.

[Pre-Chorus]
This version of the pre-chorus deepens the boundary theme. Irene and Seulgi highlight how the partner crossed the line again, this time ending up isolated in their own mess. Refusing to “play along,” the artists assert complete withdrawal from emotional games, signaling the end of tolerance.
