Below, I translated the lyrics of the song BLOOM by TWICE from Korean to English.
umcheuryeotdeon kkotdeureun got pieona
The flowers that once curled in are about to bloom
seuchyeojimgwa heuteojimeul beoseona
Break free from passing by and drifting apart
areumdapgo jinhage nan beonjyeoga
I'm spreading beautifully and intensely
bicheul naeryeo nae juwireul deo balhyeojwo
Send down light to brighten my surroundings
bireul naeryeo pieonage jeoksyeojwo
Send down rain to drench me so I can bloom
heundeulriji anneun naro byeonhae ga
Transform into an unshakeable me
yeongwonhi jiji anke kkeutdo eopsi nal deo mireonae
Endlessly pushing me further so that I won't ever give up
i ttange sum swil su itge
So that I can breathe on this land
i ttange sum swil su itge
So that I can breathe on this land
ginagin teoneol sogeseo
Inside this long tunnel
baram soge tteoreojin jeo kkochipdo
Even that petal that fell in the wind
jinagan gieogeul seuchige haejwo
Let the memories that have gone by brush past me
jiteun hyanggi momsok gipsukage baein
That rich fragrance has soaked deep inside me
yeongwonhi jiji anke kkeutdo eopsi nal deo mireonae
Endlessly pushing me further so that I won't ever give up
i ttange sum swil su itge
So that I can breathe on this land
i ttange sum swil su itge
So that I can breathe on this land
ginagin teoneol sogeseo
Inside this long tunnel

SONG MEANING
“BLOOM” is TWICE’s vibrant pep talk to anyone who has ever felt like a shy bud waiting for the right moment to open up. The lyrics paint a picture of a flower shaking off raindrops and finally stretching toward sunlight. Lines like “움츠렸던 꽃들은 곧 피어나” (the once-curled flowers will soon blossom) and “빛을 내려 내 주위를 더 밝혀줘” invite light and rain as friendly forces that spark growth. Each beat feels like another petal unfurling, promising an explosion of color and confidence that can fill the air like an unforgettable perfume.
At its heart, the song shouts: “Watch me transform, watch me thrive.” The repeated mantra “Just you wait until you see me bloom” isn’t just self-assurance, it is an open invitation for listeners to believe in their own future glow-up. Whether facing a “long tunnel” of struggles or memories drifting like fallen petals, TWICE assures us it is all “worth the wait” once we burst into full bloom. With sparkling synths and a chorus that sticks like sweet fragrance, “BLOOM” turns personal growth into a celebration and reminds us that our most dazzling selves are already on the way, ready to mesmerize the world.
