IVE “Kitsch” Original Lyrics
[Verse 1: Wonyoung, Liz, Yujin, Leeseo]
It’s our time 우린 달라 특별한 게 좋아
Oh What a good time
난 잘 살아 내 걱정은 낭비야
네가 보낸 DM을 읽고 나서 답이 없는 게
내 답이야 (That’s my style)
OOTD 하나까지 완전 우리답지
My favorite things 그런 것 들엔 좀 점수를 매기지 마
난 생겨 먹은 대로 사는 애야, 뭘 더 바래
That’s my style (That’s my style)
[Pre-Chorus: Rei, Leeseo, Gaeul, Wonyoung]
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
지금까지 한적 없는 custom fit
올려 대는 나의 feed엔 like it
홀린 듯이 눌러 모두 다 like it
내가 추는 춤을 다들 따라 춰
매일 너의 알고리즘에 난 떠
겉잡을 수 없이 올라 미친 score
그 누구도 예상 못할 nineteen’s kitsch
[Chorus: All, Rei]
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리-우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리-우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리-우리만의 자유로운
[Verse 2: Wonyoung, Yujin]
달콤한 말, 뒤에 숨긴 너의 의도대로
따라가진 않을 거야 난 똑똑하니까
난 절대 끌리지 않는 것에 끌려가지 않아
That’s my style (That’s my style)
[Pre-Chorus: Rei, Leeseo, Gaeul, Yujin]
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
지금까지 한적 없는 custom fit
올려 대는 나의 feed엔 like it
홀린 듯이 눌러 모두 다 like it
내가 추는 춤을 다들 따라 춰
매일 너의 알고리즘에 난 떠
겉잡을 수 없이 올라 미친 score
그 누구도 예상 못할 nineteen’s kitsch
[Chorus: All, Liz]
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리-우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리-우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리-우리만의 자유로운
[Verse 3: Rei, Gaeul]
Yah 모두 주목해
내가 좋아하는 것만 하면 뭐 어때 huh
This ain’t ur life
쓸데없는 생각 따위 Go away
답답한 이 세상 앞엔 멋대로 할래
YOLO! Say no! 너의 길을 가 now
잔소리는 Quite down
이제 그만 Peace out
[Pre-Chorus: Rei, Leeseo, Gaeul, Yujin]
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
지금까지 한적 없는 custom fit
올려 대는 나의 feed엔 like it
홀린 듯이 눌러 모두 다 like it

매일 너의 알고리즘에 난 떠
겉잡을 수 없이 올라 미친 score

[Chorus: All, Gaeul]
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리-우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch
우리-우리만의 자유로운 nineteen’s kitsch

IVE “Kitsch” English Translation Lyrics
[Verse 1: Wonyoung, Liz, Yujin, Leeseo]
It’s our time, we’re different, we like special things
Oh What a good time
I’m good, worrying about me is a waste of time
No reply after reading the DM you sent
That’s my answer (That’s my style)
Even our OOTD is just so like us
When it comes to My Favorite Things, Don’t judge them
I live the way I want, what more do you want
That’s my style (That’s my style)
[Pre-Chorus: Rei, Leeseo, Gaeul, Wonyoung]
Our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Haven’t ever tried this custom fit
Posting on my feed and like it
Everyone’s entranced they all press like it
Everyone copies the way I dance
I pop up on your algorithm everyday
Can’t control how high it goes it’s a crazy score
No one can expect this nineteen’s kitsch
[Chorus: All, Rei]
Our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Our, our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Our, our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch kitsch
Our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Our, our own carefree
[Verse 2: Wonyoung, Yujin]
Sweet words, you have a hidden intention
I won’t fall for it because I’m the smart one
I never follow things that I’m not attracted to
That’s my style (That’s my style)
[Pre-Chorus: Rei, Leeseo, Gaeul, Yujin]
Our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Haven’t ever tried this custom fit
Posting on my feed and like it
Everyone’s entranced they all press like it
Everyone copies the way I dance
I pop up on your algorithm everyday
Can’t control how high it goes it’s a crazy score
No one can expect this nineteen’s kitsch
[Chorus: All, Liz]
Our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Our, our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Our, our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch

Our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Our, our own carefree
[Verse 3: Rei, Gaeul]
Yah Everybody pay attention
Who cares if I only do what I like huh
This ain’t ur life
Useless thoughts can go away
I’ll do what I want in this frustrating world
YOLO! Say No! Go your own way now
Nagging is quite down
Now finally Peace out
[Pre-Chorus: Rei, Leeseo, Gaeul, Yujin]
Our own carefree nineteen’s kitsch
Haven’t ever tried this custom fit
Posting on my feed and like it
Everyone’s entranced they all press like it
Everyone copies the way I dance
I pop up on your algorithm everyday
Can’t control how high it goes it’s a crazy score
No one can expect this nineteen’s kitsch
[Chorus: All, Gaeul]
