I Like It Lyrics in English Stray Kids

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song I Like It by Stray Kids from Korean to English.
i gwangyereul jeonguihaji ma
Don't define this relationship
sarangeun moreugetgo johahaneun sai
I don't know about love, but it's about liking
gandanhi jeomseongwa silseonui chai
Simply the difference between a dotted line and a solid line
aljanha, jigeum naega malhaneun vibe
You know, the vibe I'm talking about right now
neomgo sipeum neomeo, geunde nan an neomeo
I want to cross it, cross it, but I won't
jigeumi deo joheul geonikka
Because it's better now
seoro budameun deolgo jigeumcheoreom georeo
Let's lighten the burden and walk like we are now
sangcheodo deolhal tenikka
Because it'll hurt less
jinjeon eopsi just stay tuned
The trailers are the most fun
yegopyeoni jeil jaemiitgeodeun
Any kind of role-playing
eotteon sigui yeokalgeugideun
Just dip your toes in and out, no reason
jamkkan bal damgo ppaeji no reason
The truth is no thanks, so keep it
jinsimeun no thanks, so keep it
The truth is always too deep
jinsireun eonjena too deephae
One step forward, two steps back
han bal omyeon du bal domanggaji
Without a plan, I want it
jakjeon eopneun sai I want it
Still got so much to find out, we playing 'Hide and Seek'
seoro gakkawojyeotdagado
Yeah, I love that I like you, but I don't wanna love
meonbalchi mulreoseoneun uri, seotbulri chakgak ankil
Before we love, we love this feeling, babe

SONG MEANING

“I Like It” by Stray Kids is a playful anthem about the sweet spot before romance gets serious. The lyrics paint a picture of two people chasing each other like “cops and robbers,” pulled together by irresistible chemistry yet careful not to cross the dotted line into official love. Instead of asking, “What are we?”, they revel in the exciting uncertainty, feeling that the teasing trailer is often more thrilling than the full movie.

At its heart, the song celebrates enjoying the moment without labels. The singers admit, “I love that I like you, but I don’t wanna love,” showing they prefer the freedom of liking someone to the weight of commitment. By keeping things casual, they hope to avoid heartbreak and preserve the fun hide-and-seek dynamic forever. It’s a catchy reminder that sometimes “liking” can be enough—and that savoring the journey can be just as satisfying as reaching the destination.
