BLACKPINK!
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
BLACKPINK!
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
I may look sweet, but I don’t act like it (Huh)
My slender figure hides twice the volume (Yah, yah, double up)
I give it to them straight, I don’t care what people think (Woo!)
If it’s black, then it’s pink, we are pretty savage (BLACKPINK!)
When we want, we’ll steal outright (Uh)
Whatever you do, it’s like cutting water with a knife (Uh)
Our hands are full with a fat check
If you’re curious, fact check
Expectations higher
Just like fish in the water
I’m a little toxic
You’ve fallen for me, I’m Foxy
Think twice
I can’t act nice like other people
Don’t be mistaken
I only smile easily for myself
You may not know well yet
If you want, then test me
You’re so predictable
If you wanted something easy
Oh, wait ’til I do what I-
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du

BLACKPINK!
The path I walk now
BLACKPINK four-way intersection
North, South, East, West, all ways run it
All of your bucket list, I bought it
Pulling you and pushing you far away
I do it however I want because I’m a bad girl
Whether you like me or hate me or whatever anyone says
When the bass drop, it’s another banger
Think twice
I can’t act nice like other people
Don’t be mistaken
I only smile easily for myself
You may not know well yet
If you want, then test me
You’re so predictable
If you wanted something easy
Oh, wait ’til I do what I-
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du

Empowerment and Attitude: The Core of “DDU-DU DDU-DU”
“DDU-DU DDU-DU” by BLACKPINK is a bold anthem that radiates confidence and unapologetic self-expression. The lyrics blend fierce declarations with playful taunts, painting a picture of women who are both pretty and savage. BLACKPINK dismisses expectations to act “nice” and instead embraces their own standards and desires. The lines about “cutting water with a knife” and doing things their own way reinforce the idea of independence and untouchable charisma. The metaphorical gunshot chorus – “Hit you with that ddu-du ddu-du du” – is an unforgettable statement of power and impact, emphasizing their unstoppable presence in the music scene.
