Child Lyrics
[Verse 1]
너가 뭔데 내 마음을
매달고 흔들어 날 어지럽게
내가 문제아라면 왜
항상 질문을 던지는 건데
Oh I, oh I, oh I, 서두르다가
Oh I, oh I, oh I, 서툴러지네
[Chorus]
Uh, I'm a child
너가 바란대론 못 돼
Have a good night
자장가는 필요 없대 (Ooh, yah)
It's my question, many questions
사람들이 바라본 난 누구야
Who am I? Who I'll be?
다른 밤 같은 nightmare
[Post-Chorus]
Why, why, why kill my night?
너가 부숴버린 밤에
내가 다칠 것 같아
Blah, blah, blah, y'all talk too much
Don't waste my time
거기까지만 (해)
I pull at the strings when I'm pissed
알 사람들만 알지 난 좀
Twisted but the fittest to the point
꿈이라는 게 태양이라면 내 머리는 그걸
빙빙 도는 Earth all day
I'm alert, it's a curse, yeah, it hurts
I don't know my own strength
There's a lot that I don't know (Yeah)
But you learn when you don't know (Yeah)
Red on my Valentino (Yeah)
[Verse 3]
부숴도 부술래 내 책임감 (감)
자유로울 때까지 뒤를 안 돌아봐
꼭 먼 남이 되고 싶었어 이 사회와
Propane이 부러워, I need to blow up now (Now, now)
투박해야 느껴지나 봐 이 맛 (봐 이 맛)
가시를 길러 쉽게 못 넘기게 날 (Ya)
How'd I get so bitter? (Uh)
Brother liquor
I don't feel the same
넌 어때? Tell me later
[Chorus]
Uh, I'm a child
너가 바란대론 못 돼
Have a good night
자장가는 필요 없대 (Ooh, yah)
It's my question, many questions
사람들이 바라본 난 누구야
Who am I? Who I'll be?
다른 밤 같은 nightmare
About
“Child,” the launching track in SM STATION’s 2022 project NCT LAB, is NCT rapper MARK’s first officially-released solo single since his 2016 debut.
The song is written and solely performed by MARK himself, unlike the two previous SM STATION releases.
The “sentimental” rock-inspired hip-hop release features an electric guitar and bass synth. Like other tracks on NCT LAB, MARK said it was made “quite long” before release.

Mark Lee discussed the track on a January 29, 2022 Instagram live days before release.
“Child” is a song that was made quite long ago, yeah. It isn’t one of my recent projects or anything. It was a song that […] was in our archives. And it just happened to be “Child” for, uh, this coming STATION.
He went on to describe the genre as “alternative rock”-like with an “electric guitar sound” and the vibe of the track as “sentimental.”
