BLACKPINK, The Girls: The English Lyrics & Their Meaning
The intro of “The Girls” lyrics by BLACKPINK begins with the singers establishing their presence with “Don’t mess with the girls, with the girls, with the girls (Hey!)”. Then, in the first verse, BLACKPINK sings about the determination to succeed in the new music scene. They do not wish to waste their time at all. This sentiment is expressed in the lines “If ya with it, then I’m with it, get it started // Got no time for no itty-bitty parties // See the numbers and it’s already charted // Run it up, run it up, oh-ooh”. They want their song up on the charts and they want everyone to wear diamond necklaces with their names carved on them.
In the Pre-Chorus of the song, BLACKPINK removes all the distractions around them. This sentiment is expressed by the lines “Vroom vroom, better get out of the way // Comin’ through, through, everybody know the name”. They want everyone to listen to their songs with loud bass. This is expressed in the lines “Hear the boom boom, ’bout to hit you with the bass // From the front to the back, I’ma put it in your face”. Then, the Chorus highlights their fast celebrity lives who wish to make a great comeback in 2023. They express this emotion with the lines “Live fast, we do it like that // And we don’t lie, we born to be mad // Better come right or never come back // Don’t mess with the girls, with the girls, with the girls”. The artists pay no mind to haters calling them to stop making new music. BLACKPINK follows with “Don’t mess with the girls, with the girls, with the girls” in the Post-Chorus.
The second verse of “The Girls” lyrics by BLACKPINK shows that the artists are ready to tackle any obstacles on their way to their comeback. Lisa gets confrontational with the lines “Mess with us, you messed up (Up) // You so messy, dress up // Catch up, pedal to the metal, get it, rev up”. She tells haters to catch up with their new music. Then, Lisa envisions this song to be on repeat with the lines “BP on repeat, we heat like tiki, waikiki // Really believe you can beat me? // Believe me, we be like kiki”. The singer asks the haters to take this comeback in an easy fashion without making hate comments. She opens up with these lines “Take it easy (Easy), take a breath (Take a breath) // You mess around (Mess around), we make a mess // Say less, yes, and that ain’t just a flex”. Lisa says if BLACKPINK, who paved the way for mainstream South Korean pop, quits making music, the music won’t even feel like music anymore with the line and everything else would be one big mess. This emotion is expressed with the lines “Paved the way and busted left // If we left, there’s nothing left // But the rest, what a mess”.

[Intro: Lisa, Jennie, Rosé, All]
Li-Li-Lindgren (Hey!)

Don’t mess with the girls, with the girls, with the girls (Hey!)[Verse 1: Jennie, Lisa]
If ya with it, then I’m with it, get it started
Got no time for no itty-bitty parties
See the numbers and it’s already charted
Run it up, run it up, oh-ooh
See the, see the black rims, pink headlights
Bring the, bring the bags in, yeah, they all mine
Diamond-plated names bouncin’ on our necklines
Light it up, light up, oh-ooh[Pre-Chorus: Rosé]
Vroom vroom, better get out of the way
Comin’ through, through, everybody know the name
Hear the boom boom, ’bout to hit you with the bass
From the front to the back, I’ma put it in your face[Chorus: Jisoo, Jennie, All]
Live fast, we do it like that
And we don’t lie, we born to be mad
Better come right or never come back
Don’t mess with the girls, with the girls, with the girls
Stop sign, we’re burnin’ it down
Better watch out, we comin’ in loud
Bang, bang, just playin’ around
Don’t mess with the girls, with the girls, with the girls (Hey!)[Post-Chorus: All]
