It's My Business

The song "It's My Business" by Pump It Up is a raw and unfiltered critique of the music industry. The lyrics are filled with frustration and disillusionment, reflecting the artist's struggle against a system that prioritizes profit over artistic integrity. The opening lines describe the artist's dedication and the sacrifices made to pursue their passion, only to be met with a rigid and exploitative system. The mention of a "section" and "system" suggests a highly structured and commercialized industry that stifles creativity.

The chorus, with its repeated expletives, underscores the depth of the artist's anger and disillusionment. The phrase "f***ed up the music business" is a powerful indictment of the industry's corruption and the way it manipulates and exploits artists. The lyrics also touch on the superficiality and materialism that pervade the industry, with references to promotions, contracts, and the pursuit of fame and money. The line "in the contract soge jonburul pedgin uishime sungane wihyobul nukkin" highlights the moment of realization when the artist feels betrayed by the very system they trusted.

The song also delves into the personal impact of this disillusionment. The artist feels trapped and overwhelmed, as indicated by the lines "soggoman f***ed up the music business gusoge i jungshimeso urin monghage soisso." This sense of entrapment is further emphasized by the repeated question, "Nowa nanun we dodeche otton mogjoge yogiso majubomyo norerul hungjonghanun goya," which reflects the artist's confusion and frustration at being caught in a system that seems impossible to escape. The song is a powerful expression of rebellion and a call for change in an industry that often prioritizes profit over genuine artistic expression.
