NewJeans - Hype Boy (English Translation) Lyrics
One, two, three, four
[Verse 1: Haerin]
Baby, got me looking so crazy
I’m falling into a daydream
Got me feeling you, you got something to say?
[Refrain: Hanni, Danielle]
No matter what they say
There's no one else like you
Maybe you could be the one
Trust me let’s try for once
I'm not looking for just fun
Maybe I could be the one
[Pre-Chorus: Hyein, Minji]
Oh, baby, they say I'm sensitive lately
Every day without you, baby, yeah
This isn’t fun, what do I do?
I just want you, call my phone right now
I just wanna hear, "You're mine"
[Chorus: Haerin, Danielle]
'Cause I know what you like, boy (Uh-uh)
You're my chemical hype boy (Uh-uh)
Open my eyes to see old days gone like a dreamHype boy, all I wanna
Hype boy, gonna tell ya
And we can go hi-i-i-i-i-igh
Say it now, yeah, feelin' how, mm-mm
Take him to the sky-y-y-y-y-y
You know, I hype you, boy
Close your eyes, ah-ah-ah, ah-ahSay it now, yeah, feelin' how, mm-mm
Take him to the sky-y-y-y-y-y
You know, I hype you, boy
[Verse 2: Minji]
Try and try to sleep, no way I can sleep, no
It's already three, so attached to you, uh-oh
Gotta let them know, they can't have you no more
Wrote my name right here, so everyone knows I'm yours, y-yeah, eh-eh
[Refrain: Haerin, Hanni]
I won't listen to no one
Nothing same about you, none
Maybe you could be the one
You can ask anyone
I'm not looking for just fun
Maybe I could be the one
[Pre-Chorus: Hyein, Minji]
Oh, baby, heard I'm sensitive lately
Every day without you baby, yeah-eh, eh
Is hopeless, I'm going crazy
I just want you, call my phone right now
I just wanna hear, "You're mine"
'Cause I know what you like, boy (Uh-uh)
You're my chemical hype boy (Uh-uh)
Open my eyes to see old days gone like a dream
Hype boy, all I wanna
Hype boy, gonna tell ya
[Post-Chorus: Danielle, Hyein]
And we can go hi-i-i-i-i-igh
Say it now, yeah, feelin' how, mm-mm
Take him to the sky-y-y-y-y-y
You know, I hype you, boy
Close your eyes, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah
Say it now, yeah, feelin' how, mm-mm
Take him to the sky-y-y-y-y-y
You know, I hype you, boy

“Hype Boy”, I think, just had that type of fresh but familiar sound. All of our songs are the same [in that sense]. But for “Hype Boy” specifically, there are a lot more opportunities to make eye contact with the members, and kind of play around with the dance. “Hype Boy” has that natural, authentic joy to its performance that can be felt even when you’re just listening to the song by itself.
–Hanni via NME
In the same interview, Minji pointed out that the word “hype” wasn’t used often in Korea before the song came out, continuing:
Once brought to people’s attention, I think it felt fresh, and had the power to bring out a joyful energy that uplifts people’s spirits. Maybe that’s the reason everyone hyped to “Hype Boy”.
