NUNU NANA (눈누난나)

Jessi's 'NUNU NANA' is a bold and brash anthem of self-assertion and confidence. The song's lyrics convey a message of empowerment, encouraging listeners to embrace their individuality and to disregard the opinions of others. Jessi, known for her unapologetic personality and fierce rapping style, uses the song to showcase her independence and to invite others to join her in living freely and authentically.

The repeated phrase '눈누난나' (nunu nana) doesn't have a direct translation but serves as a catchy, nonsensical hook that emphasizes the playful and carefree attitude Jessi embodies. The lyrics 'I’m still Jessi from the block' and 'You know I got the keys to the lock' reference her unwavering sense of self, regardless of her fame. She also dismisses critics with lines like '뭐라 하던 still don’t give a what' and 'They talk about me,' highlighting her indifference to negative opinions and gossip.

Cultural references, such as '싸이 오빠 말했지 꼴리는 대로 해' (Psy oppa told me to do as I please), nod to her relationship with Psy, a fellow artist and head of her music label, who encourages her to be herself. The song's overarching theme is about taking control of one's life, not being afraid to stand out, and enjoying the journey. Jessi's 'NUNU NANA' is not just a song but a declaration of self-love and defiance against societal expectations.
