The Heart's Cry for Reconciliation: BLACKPINK and Dua Lipa's 'Kiss And Make Up'
BLACKPINK's 'Kiss And Make Up,' featuring the British pop sensation Dua Lipa, is a vibrant track that delves into the emotional turmoil of a relationship on the brink of collapse. The lyrics express a desperate desire to avoid a breakup by returning to the simplicity of making up after a fight. The song captures the essence of a moment where love is still present, but the fear of losing it all is overwhelming.
The repetition of 'I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I, I' followed by 'Feel like we about to break up' conveys a sense of urgency and the internal struggle of the speaker. The plea for physical closeness, 'Touch me like you touch nobody,' and the request to leave the party to focus on each other, suggests a longing to reconnect and repair the relationship. The phrase 'Tired of hearing sorry' indicates a weariness with empty apologies and a yearning for genuine resolution.
The inclusion of Korean lyrics by the South Korean girl group adds a layer of depth to the song, emphasizing the universal nature of love and conflict in relationships. The line '아직도 너를 못 떠나고 뭘 하고 있는 건지' translates to 'I still can't leave you, what am I doing,' highlighting the internal conflict and attachment that transcends language and culture. 'Kiss And Make Up' is not just a catchy pop tune; it's a heartfelt call for reconciliation, emphasizing the power of physical affection and the importance of overcoming obstacles in love.
