The song opens with the iconic chant 'BLACKPINK in your area,' immediately setting the stage for a bold and assertive performance. The lyrics delve into the experience of being constantly in the spotlight, with the members addressing the attention they receive due to their beauty and charisma. The repeated question '왜 자꾸 처다보니, 왜-애-애?' (Why do you keep staring at me?) highlights the scrutiny they face, while also showcasing their awareness of their own allure.
