Make' em go insane, pandemonium riot
Always lookin' fresh, got that green in my diet
Head to my toes, shinin' like canary diamonds (Bling, bling)
Yeah, we them cool kids (*Yeah*), nothin' to it (*Nuh-uh*)
Goin' stupid, saucin' (Drip, drippin')
We a movement, never losin'
Makin' moves, stay poppin'
[Pre-Chorus: Chisa, Juria]
Babe, if I give it my all, will it pay off?
Workin' overtime, no days off
All these shootin' stars in the dark (Yeah)
All these shootin' stars in the dark, make a wish (Yeah)
Takin' off from the ground, it's amazin'
So outta this world, I'm in space
Now I'm goin' up, headin' to the stars
Wouldn't trade it out for another life, no
Yeah, we ridin', ridin', ridin' on up
So shinin', shinin', shinin' for sure
Ooh, ah, I'm lookin' so lavish
Ooh, ah, put in work like it's a habit
It's a big move, every day's like a dream
Makin' big moves, yeah, we do it for our team
Ooh, ah, I'm lookin' so lavish
Ooh, ah, yeah, I bet you can't imagine
[Verse 2: Maya, Cocona, Harvey, Hinata, *Jurin*]

'Cause we coolin', suit and boot it just for fun, huh (Huh)
You couldn't run up on me, I'm too outta this world (*This world*)
I got that spaceship jumpin', ready for my launch (*Three, two, one*)
I don't care if I'm a brat, I'm just goin' dumb (Goin' dumb)
I ain't tryin' to fire shots, but they doin' none (Doin' none)
I know they watchin' me, I'm what I wanna be (Ha)
Nobody touchin' me (Nah), I got this energy (Ha, woo)
[Pre-Chorus: Chisa, Juria]
Babe, if I give it my all, will it pay off?
Workin' overtime, no days off
All these shootin' stars in the dark (Yeah)
All these shootin' stars in the dark, make a wish (Yeah)
Takin' off from the ground, it's amazin'
So outta this world, I'm in space
Now I'm goin' up, headin' to the stars
Wouldn't trade it out for another life, no
Yeah, we ridin', ridin', ridin' on up
So shinin', shinin', shinin' for sure
Ooh, ah, I'm lookin' so lavish
Ooh, ah, put in work like it's a habit
It's a big move, every day's like a dream
Makin' big moves, yeah, we do it for our team
Ooh, ah, I'm lookin' so lavish
Ooh, ah, yeah, I bet you can't imagine
[Bridge: Chisa, Juria, Hinata]
Oh, you rockin' with a dream team
Comets droppin' when we hit the scene
Oh, you rockin' with a dream team (Ooh)
We shootin' from another galaxy (Ooh)
And you know we take it all the way
Lights and camera action, it's just how we live
Don't get it twisted, this ain't child play
Just know that XG's goin' all the way
[Chorus: Jurin, Juria, Harvey]
Yeah, we ridin', ridin', ridin' on up (Woo)
So shinin', shinin', shinin' for sure
Ooh, ah, I'm lookin' so lavish (Shinin', shinin', yeah)
Ooh, ah, put in work like it's a habit (I'm lookin' so lavish)
It's a big move, every day's like a dream
Makin' big moves as I should 'cause I'm a queen (Ooh)
Ooh, ah, I'm lookin' so lavish
Ooh, ah, yeah, I bet you can't imagine (Oh yeah)
