Look at my toe, my ex's name tattoo
niga silda haedo joha
It's okay if you don't like it
mwol geuri jjinggeuryeo neo
Why are you frowning so much?
michinnyeonira malhae
Tell me I'm a crazy bitch

Tear me apart without mercy
sarang geukkat geo ttawi nae mome sangcheo hanado eorimeopji
Love, that little thing, won't even scratch my body
neoui sseogeunnae naneun hyangsuna ppuril baen
Instead of spraying your putrid perfume
michin cheogira malhae
Cheer it up without mercy
sajeongeopsi ssibeurago
Love, that little thing, a tear in my eye ain't even worth it

I'd rather smile at your trivial words
neoui hachanheun mare misona jieul baen
Yeah, I'm a tomboy

SONG MEANING

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.
