There is a heated discussion on the Internet about the sexy lyrics in (G)I-DLE‘s new song, “Wife.”
Reports say that (G)I-DLE has released a new song and music video from their long-awaited full-length record, “2.”
Many people on the Internet don’t like the lyrics to the song “Wife” because they’re “suggestive” and “not appropriate for underage audiences.”
The words to “Wife” were written by Soyeon, Pop Time, Daily, and others working together. The song’s explicit themes have caused a lot of attention.
The part of the lyrics that is written in Korean basically means the following.
“Hey, take a big bite, sweetheart
Even if you’re full, don’t spit it out
I’ll give you more, so just wipe off your drool
Does he know that you’re all grown up, your daddy
That’s right, I knew it, so I baked a cake
But that’s not all, eat the cherry on top as well
Carefully kiss, and then boldly devour
Show me and let me hear how it tastes
My tongue gently touches
You go brr, brr, brr
Oh, clean up every nook and cranny
Your hands don’t touch the delicate lips
From head to toe, just chop, chop, chop
If you’ve learned it then give it a try and get on top
If you’re good, then I’ll sing a cool song
And dance beautifully like a mermaid in the water
If you’re good, then I’ll be full
And because I’ll be feeling good, I’ll swallow even deeper”
The explicit songs have made Korean internet users feel a lot of different things, from shock and confusion to anger. Some talked about how the song’s lyrics are similar to Cardi B‘s “WAP,” as well as how it sounds and has ideas like Fergie‘s “Fergalicious” (2006) and Nicki Minaj‘s “Super Freaky Girl.”
Some people have even thought that the song’s title and lyrics hint at a “extramarital affair.”
People have different thoughts on (G)I-DLE’s method.
Some Internet users are upset that the group used too many sexual hints and think that the song should have a “Explicit” label to keep kids from listening to it. Others are supporting the group’s artistic freedom and saying that it’s not more explicit than many other idol songs today.
In the middle of the dispute, some internet users couldn’t help but laugh at the irony of (G)I-DLE‘s song “Nxde,” saying that the group “can’t blame the listeners for being ‘perverts.'”
Responses consist of: “I think they’ve reached a point there it’s actually not really about hidden meanings when it comes to misunderstanding sensual concepts…”
“What does that even mean, ‘I’ll swallow even deeper'”
“Reminds me of Cardi B lol”
“How come Cardi B can cook and clean and still get a ring but they cook and clean but won’t wife?”
“You’re the perverts lol”
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with a song having a sex appeal”
“I think the real issue is that they are trying to critique the public for being ‘perverts’ when they are actually the ones exploiting sexuality”
“Who’s being hypocritical now?”
“Ugh, here we go again, with people that criticized ‘Cookie'”
“I don’t think this is ‘too much’ compared to EXID‘s ‘Up and Down’…”
“Everything was perfect up to ‘TOMBOY'”
“My elementary school nieces are going to sing along to this…I’m worried”
“I’ve seen little kids, like my nieces, sing along to ‘Queencard.'”What’s going to happen next?”
“I think this is beyond metaphor; it’s downright explicit”
“Why are they purposely making it controversial as a way to sell more of it?” Are they really that hungry?”
“Why does it feel like an answer to ‘WAP’ lol”
“I can’t imagine the elementary school kids singing along to this song”
“The song sounds really good though”
“How come the MV doesn’t have the ’19’ label??”
“I don’t think it would be an issue as long as the song is restricted to adult listeners”
“I think this song may be targeted toward the U.S. audiences and I have a feeling it’s going to do well on TikTok”
“This song is so similar to the Nicki Minaj song”
