like JENNIE

The song 'like JENNIE' by JENNIE is a celebration of her unique and inimitable identity. From the very start, the lyrics highlight how she is a 'special edition', something that even artificial intelligence could never replicate. This reflects the singularity and authenticity that JENNIE brings to her music and public image—something that cannot be copied or imitated. The artist positions herself as a figure of influence, especially in the fashion world, mentioning how people want to keep their hair and nails done like hers, emphasizing her impact and strong presence.

The lyrics also touch on JENNIE’s intrinsic fame, expressed in the line '여러 셀럽들 속에 내 DNA' ('My DNA is among the famous ones'), suggesting that fame is part of her very essence. JENNIE presents herself as a central figure in the world of celebrities, someone who naturally attracts attention and admiration. However, this fame also comes with challenges, such as attempts to shame or blame her for her confidence and success. She addresses this directly with the line 'Yes, I'm guilty, 잘난 게 죄니' ('Yes, I'm guilty, is being amazing a crime?'). Here, JENNIE acknowledges that her self-assurance and achievements may be perceived as a threat by some, yet she remains unshaken.

The song serves as an anthem of self-worth and resilience against criticism. JENNIE asserts herself not just as a trendsetter, but as someone who challenges norms and expectations. The repetition of her name throughout the song reinforces her dominant presence and the idea that, despite criticism and imitation attempts, no one can truly be like JENNIE. The song is a powerful statement of identity and self-confidence, celebrating the artist’s individuality and inner strength.
