어림없지 is a powerful Korean phrase that means "Not a chance!" or "Don't even think about it." It's a strong, colloquial way to say that something is absolutely impossible.
In "TOMBOY," (G)I-DLE uses this phrase as a defiant anthem. They sing that so-called love can't leave a single scar (상처 하나도 어림없지) or bring a single teardrop (눈물 한 방울 어림없지), perfectly capturing the song's unbreakable and confident attitude. It’s a punchy expression that’s key to the song's message.
Ready to break the mold? “TOMBOY” is (G)I-DLE’s loud, rebellious anthem that flips traditional gender rules on their head. Instead of fitting into the polished Barbie-doll image that society often expects from women, the speaker proudly owns her rough edges: whiskey over wine, tattoos over pearls, real talk over pretty lies. Every punchy lyric tells the same story—she will not soften her attitude or dim her personality just to make anyone comfortable.
At its heart, the song is about unapologetic self-definition. The repeated line “It’s neither man nor woman, just me” shouts that identity is not a two-option checklist, but a personal playground where confidence rules. By the final chorus, “TOMBOY” leaves listeners feeling bolder, reminding them that true power comes from writing your own rules and refusing to let labels stick.
