BLACKPINK - Kill This Love (English Translation) Lyrics

[Intro: Jennie & Lisa]
Yeah, yeah, yeah
BLACKPINK IN YOUR AREA!
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Jennie]
After a sweet "Hi", there's always a bitter "Bye"
After every crazy high, there's a price you have to pay
There's no answer to this test, I'll always fall for it, yes
I'm a slave to my emotions
Screw this heartless love

[Verse 2: Lisa]
Here I come kick in the door, uh
Give me the strongest one, uh
So obvious, that love, love
Give me more, give me some more
Cling onto the edge of the cliff if you want
With just one word, you're like starstruck again
That warm nervous feeling, extreme excitement
Felt like heaven, but
You might not get in it

[Pre-Chorus: Jisoo & Rosé]
Look at me, look at you
Who will be in more pain?
You smart like who? You are
If you cry tears of blood from both eyes
So sorry like who? You are
What should I do? I can't stand being so weak
While I force myself to cover my eyes
I need to bring an end to this love

[Chorus: All, Lisa & Jennie]
Let's kill this love!
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Rum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum
Let's kill this love!
Rum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum


[Verse 3: Jennie & Lisa]
Feelin' like a sinner
It's so fire with him I go boo-hoo
He said "You look crazy"
Thank you, baby
I owe it all to you

Got me all messed up
His love is my favorite
But you plus me
Sadly can be dangerous


[Pre-Chorus: Rosé & Jisoo]
Lucky me, lucky you
After all, in the end we lie
So what? So what?
If I end up forgetting you
So sorry
I'm not sorry
What should I do? I can't stand being so weak
While I force myself to hide my tears
I need to bring an end to this love

[Chorus: All, Lisa & Jennie]
Let's kill this love!
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah
Rum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum
Let's kill this love!
Rum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum, pum


[Bridge: Rosé]
We all commit to love
That makes you cry, oh-oh
We're all making love
That kills you inside, yeah

[Outro: All]
We must kill this love (Yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, it's sad but true
Gotta kill this love (Yeah, yeah!)
Before it kills you too
Kill this love (Yeah, yeah!)
Yeah, it's sad but true
Gotta kill this love (Yeah, yeah!)
Gotta kill, let's kill this love!

Genius Annotation

“Kill This Love” is the title track for BLACKPINK’s second EP of the same name.

This is the highly anticipated release following their last Korean mini album SQUARE UP in 2018. It features intense lead brass electro-pop and marching band snares. The song is propelled by BLACKPINK’s charismatic rap and vocals.

In the first full group teaser, the looks caught attention for the resemblance with Tomb Raider even noticed by the official twitter of Tomb Raider, who replied to an article about it.

YG Entertainment, BLACKPINK’s label, spoiled that the new dance choreography was made by four world-class choreographers and was expected to be more dynamic than the choreography of any song that the group has introduced.

The official translation for Kill This Love is taken from the music video, which was uploaded onto BLACKPINK’s official YouTube channel.

According to Billboard:

BLACKPINK are certainly in YouTube’s area: the K-pop quartet made history last week with the release of the music video for their brand new single “Kill This Love.”

YouTube tells Billboard that “Kill This Love” had the biggest music video debut in YouTube history, earning 56.7 million views in its first 24 hours. It also promptly became the fastest music video to 100 million views on the streaming platform, reaching the milestone in under 3 days since its release on April 4.

The group therefore unseats Ariana Grande, who previously held the No. 1 spot for a 24 hour debut (55.4 million views for “Thank U, Next”).
