축배 means "toast" — specifically the act of raising a glass to celebrate or honor a moment. It's a sophisticated, slightly formal word that stands out in such a high-energy pop song.

In "BOOMBAYAH", BLACKPINK sings "지금 날 위한 축배를 들어" (Raise a toast for me right now). This isn't just a casual "cheers" — it's a confident, queen-like command to celebrate her presence and the explosive vibe of the night. It perfectly captures the song's bold, party-anthem spirit.

Welcome to BLACKPINK's explosive debut song, "BOOMBAYAH"! This is a pure party anthem built on massive confidence. The members introduce themselves as girls who are "so hot, I need a fan" and know exactly what they want: "I don't want a boy, I need a man." They describe making an entrance so powerful that "문을 박차면 모두 날 바라봄" (When I kick the door open, everyone looks at me). The song is full of fun, exaggerated boasts about being effortlessly attractive and the center of attention.

But it's not just about them. The song is also an invitation to a wild night out. They spot someone they like and declare, "정말 반했어 오늘 밤 / 너와 춤추고 싶어" (I've really fallen for you tonight / I want to dance with you). The energy just keeps building with rebellious lines like "Middle finger up, F U pay me" and the promise that if anyone tries to stop them, "I'm gonna go brrrr RAMBO." The whole point is to let go completely, as they chant in the finale: "오늘은 맨 정신 따윈 버리고 / 하늘을 넘어서 올라 갈 거야" (Today, let's throw away our sober minds / We're going to go beyond the sky). It's a call to dance, have fun, and feel unstoppable.
