Captivating Lyrics of IVE's 'I AM' Win Over K-netizens and Fans Alike

AKP STAFF

IVE has been making waves with their first studio album 'I'VE IVE' and have been receiving much praise and love for the title track, "I AM."

K-netizens and fans have been raving about "I AM" since its release, with many praising the song's captivating lyrics that reveal new layers of meaning with each listen. 

One netizen shared the lyrics and praised how they were able to empathize with the lyrics and receive comfort from the song. The netizen shared their take on the lyric and explained the song from their perspective.

Open a different door, no need to follow
You're on your way, I'm on my way, mm-mm

The netizen explained, "IVE always talked about self-love, self-esteem, and confidence. But while IVE expresses self-love, they never force others to follow them. So they are saying 'You don't need to follow and you can go your way. I still respect you.'"

I'm on my way-ay-ay (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
You just have to believe
I'm on my way-ay-ay (Ooh)

It's just as it seems


The poster continued, "The song says you just need to go your way the way it seems is what this is saying."

You are someone's dreams come true
A déjà vu of some perfect day

A strange view of somewhere I want to stay
I'll be far away

The netizen explained, "This means you can become someone's dream and that image of you will be a déjà vu of some perfect day. And they say you will be somewhere far, where you want to be."



That's my life is a beautiful galaxy
Be a writer, the genre is fantasy
A big, big stage will open for me tomorrow
So that is who I am

Even if I get lost on a dark night

Just fly high, then wherever you go will be the way

The creator of the post shared, "This is my favorite part of the lyric to 'I AM'...This is telling you don't feel afraid even if you feel lost because the path you decide to take will be the right way."

1, 2, 3

1, 2, 3
Fly up
I hope you'd be someone's dreams come true


Additionally, the netizen revealed that renowned lyricist Kim Eana had participated in writing the song so the song was highly anticipated for that reason.

Other netizens joined the conversation and shared, "The song is good and the lyrics are good and what's perfect is that the song and lyrics are in perfect combination," "I really think the lyrics to this song is the best," "The lyrics are really well-written," "Wow, I really like the lyrics," "The melody is really good but the lyrics really give me strength," "I feel like crying when I look at the lyrics in detail," "Just as expected from lyricist Kim Eana, she writes so well," "I always just thought the melody and performance were good but the lyrics are so much better," "I love how she says 'if you get lost in the way, just fly high.' That makes me cry," and "This song's lyrics is just perfect. As soon as I saw the lyrics, I knew this song would be the best."

I didn't realize Kim Eana was the lyricist. This will be her 3rd decade with a chart topping song. She started off in the late 2000s writing for Brown Eyed Girls (Abracadabra the massive hit in 2009). In the 2010's there's just way too many list. So wrote a lot of IU's songs and some her most popular (Good Day, You & I). She's done a lot more TV from the late 2010s until now and not as much songwriting.

"I hope you'd be someone's dreams come true"

I love that line it's seriously such a sweet thing to say to someone. I hope you'll live a life that other people would dream of. Such a lovely sentiment.
