What's so scary? I'm not that good at this either
uri hat han keopeuril geot gata
I think we'd be one hot couple
oneulbuteo uri 1il hae
From today, let's call this day one
ni soneul japgo georeo danilrae

SONG MEANING
GOT7’s irresistibly catchy single, A, is a playful tug-of-war between shyness and confidence. From the very first “It’s not working, so stop fronting,” the members call out a crush who keeps stealing glances yet pretends nothing’s going on. The repeated “A” mimics a surprised gasp in Korean—something like “Eh? I caught you!”—and becomes their cheeky way of saying, I see right through you, so quit hiding those feelings.
Underneath the bubbly synths and slick choreography lies a simple message: when two people like each other, why waste time? The song urges listeners to drop the act, take each other’s hands, and turn that nervous energy into a fun adventure together. It celebrates youthful courage, honest flirting, and the thrill of finally admitting, “Yes, I like you too.” Let the upbeat hooks remind you to be bold about your own feelings—and maybe pick up some cool English lines like “stop fronting” along the way!
