I say “fuck it” when I feel it
‘Cause no one’s keepin’ tally
I do what I want with who I like
I ain’t gon’ conceal it
While you talkin’ all that shit
I’ll be gettin’ mine, gettin’ mine
Don’t apologize for my behavior
If you’re offended, I don’t care
Starin’ at me ‘stead of starin’ in the mirror
Little weird how
Everybody tells me to play nice
Everybody judge, but looking twice
But my body don’t belong to, nah-uh-uh, none of them though
And I’m not gonna change ’cause you say so
I say “fuck it” when I feel it
‘Cause no one’s keepin’ tally
I do what I want with who I like
I ain’t gon’ conceal it
While you talkin’ all that shit
I’ll be gettin’ mine, gettin’ mine
Yeah, I say “fuck it” when I feel it
‘Cause no one’s keepin’ tally
I do what I want with who I like
And I ain’t gon’ conceal it
I’ll just do it like the boys say
I’m gettin’ mine, gettin’ mine
Told me to play it cool
I break the rules, I’m breakin’ hearts in two
Warned me to make the rules
Or play the fool, it ain’t that hard to choose
Take apart the do’s and don’ts
And lose the won’ts, I’m gettin’ mine
Mines is mine, yours is mine
This is mine, get in line
Sometimes, I like to go play dirty
Just like all of the fuck boys do
That’s my choice and there’s no one I’m hurtin’
But that’s not girly
Everybody tells me to play nice
Everybody judge, but looking twice
But my body don’t belong to, nah-uh-uh, none of them though
And I’m not gonna change ’cause you say so
I say “fuck it” when I feel it
‘Cause no one’s keepin’ tally
I do what I want with who I like
I ain’t gon’ conceal it
While you talkin’ all that shit
I’ll be gettin’ mine, gettin’ mine
Yeah, I say “fuck it” when I feel it
‘Cause no one’s keepin’ tally
I do what I want with who I like
And I ain’t gon’ conceal it
I’ll just do it like the boys say
I’m gettin’ mine, gettin’ mine
(Yeah, I say “fuck it” when I feel it)
(And I ain’t gon’ conceal it)
Embracing Self-Liberation

BLACKPINK confidently asserts their right to make choices without concern for external opinions, highlighting themes of body autonomy and personal freedom.
Breaking the Mold
Through clever wordplay and a rebellious tone, the song challenges double standards and gender norms. Lines like “I’ll just do it like the boys say, I’m gettin’ mine” critique expectations placed on women, emphasizing that self-empowerment is not just accepted but necessary. “Tally” stands as a statement of strength, encouraging listeners to embrace authenticity and refuse to apologize for who they are.
