BTS - War of Hormone (English Translation) Lyrics
Because of who?
Because of women
Because of who?
Hormones
Because of who?
[Verse 1: RM]
Thank you for your existence
Please call me so that I can buy you dinner
I'm crazy crazy these days, cough cough
Girls, you make me cough, your clothes, they’re see-through, see-through
(Very much) thank you! You make me see everything clear
(Natural LASIK) I don't need to pay for it
I'll be in panic, I'll be a fan
And I'll be a man of you you you you babe
[Verse 2: Jung Kook]
It keeps catching my eyes, girls' tummies, yup
Girls are equations and we solve it, yup
I drip with sweat and don't know what to do
Please wear more high heels, heels
I’m 18, I know all that stuff
That girls are the best creatures in the world
Yes, I'm a bad boy, so I like bad girl
Come on baby, we are meant to be
Hello, hello (What?)
Hello, hello (What?)
Tell me what you want right now
Hello, hello (What?)
Hello, hello (What?)
I'ma give it to you, girl, right now
You are not mine but I know you are perfect
In front of you, I don't even know where to look
I want to get closer to you but you are just too beautiful
[Post-Chorus: Jung Kook, V, Jin]
Girls are the best
Presents, presents
What I'm really wishing for is
Just you, just you
(Everybody say)
If that's you, I'm ok
Oh I can't handle this
You look perfect in every direction
From head to toe, perfect, perfect
[Refrain: All, Jung Kook, V]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Perfect from the front, perfect from the back
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
From head to toe, perfect, perfect
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Perfect from the front, perfect from the back
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Even the way they walk, it's perfect perfect
No way, not only for once or twice
I’m not interested in that short time period relationship
But I learn body Architecture 101 from you
My testosterone goes up heavily
After conquering at a fight with my hormone
I studied you and found out you were against the rules, foul
If the standards for beauty can be compared with the depth of the sea, you are the deep sea
You are the beautiful cultural heritage and should be conserved by government
[Verse 4: j-hope]
From her head, body, waist, legs to where I cannot really say
As a man, I cannot understand if someone says he's not interested
Even a small gesture blows my mind
Girl, I keep my place in front of my computer every night because you are luring me
Lady's first for my lady
Girls are the frozen icebergs? Let it go
Female, it's madness. It excites me everyday
I squeeze my pimple after this hormone war as part of my daily routine
[Chorus: Jin, RM, Jung Kook, Jimin]
Hello, hello (What?)
Hello, hello (What?)
Tell me what you want right now
Hello, hello (What?)
Hello, hello (What?)
I'ma give it to you, girl, right now
You are not mine but I know you are perfect
In front of you, I don't even know where to look
I want to get closer to you but you are just too beautiful
Girls are the best
Presents, presents
What I'm really wishing for is
Just you, just you
(Everybody say)
If that's you, I'm ok
Oh I can't handle this
You look perfect in every direction
From head to toe, perfect, perfect
[Bridge: Jung Kook, RM, j-hope, SUGA, All]
(Because of who?) Because of girls
(Because of what?) Because of hormones
(Because of what?) Because I'm a man
(Because I'm a man?) Because I'm a man
(Because of who?) Because of girls
(Because of what?) Because of hormones
(Because of what?) Because I'm a man
(Because I'm a man?) Because I'm a man
[Post-Chorus: Jung Kook, V, Jin]
Girls are the best
Presents, presents
What I'm really wishing for is
Just you, just you
(Everybody say)
If that's you, I'm ok
Oh I can't handle this
You look perfect in every direction
From head to toe, perfect, perfect
[Outro: All, Jung Kook, V]
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Perfect from the front, perfect from the back
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
From head to toe, perfect, perfect
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Perfect from the front, perfect from the back
La, la, la, la, la, la, la
Even the way they walk, it's perfect perfect
About
“War of Hormone” is the 3rd track on BTS' first studio album, Dark&Wild. They released it’s music video on YouTube on October 21st, during their concert tour.
When “War of Hormone” was released, many people accused the song of being misogynistic, with lyrics that state “women are the best gift” and they should “wear high heels more often”. Netizens believed that the song was objectifying women.
On July 6, BigHit Entertainment posted on their official fancafe in response to the outcry:
“We recognized the controversy about misogynistic lyrics in BTS’s songs at the end of 2015. After reviewing the lyrics, we found that some of them could be perceived as misogynistic, regardless of the intentions of the creator, and could make some people uncomfortable.
The agency as well as all of BTS feel very apologetic towards all the fans who have may have felt uncomfortable from any lyrics or social network posts, and we will take the criticisms and the points in question into consideration for future works.
Through self review and discussion, we’ve learned that we can’t be free of societal prejudices and mistakes, as they are a part of each individual’s growth and experiences, things that are seen and learned in society.
We’ve also learned that defining a woman’s position or value in society from a man’s point of view could be wrong.
We feel heavily responsible for not being more careful with the production of BTS contents, and causing everyone so much worry. Please continue to watch BTS grow, and if you would continue to point out our shortcomings, we will continue to work hard, always listening to the words of our fans and society.”
