Ditto

## About

“**Ditto**” is the first single and a song recorded by the South Korean girl group, NewJeans from their second single, OMG.

The lyrics for the track describe an inner discussion of a person falling in love right away, remiscent of being hit with Cupid’s arrow and who also tries their best to bravely show the affection to a significant one through a honest confession, while hoping for a pure and requited relationship.

Despite the sweet and vulnerable meaning, the Shin Wooseok-directed ‘side A’ and ‘side B’ music videos for “Ditto” revolve on a divergent story, as they are shot from the perspective of Heesoo (played by Park Jihu), a close friend and schoolmate of NewJeans.

The former shows the carefree and joyful life of the mysterious character and the group, which goes through an unexpected change after Heesoo’s arm is injuried and is hallucinating about her moments with imaginary friends, while the latter continues the storyline of the video and reveals how the actual, yet ideal mindset of the girl looks like.

Hoo-ooh, ooh-ooh
Hoo-ooh, hoo
Stay in the middle
Like you a little, don't want no riddle
말해줘, say it back, oh, say it, ditto
아침은 너무 멀어, so say it, ditto
훌쩍 커버렸어
함께한 기억처럼
널 보는 내 마음은
어느새 여름 지나 가을
기다렸지 all this time
Do you want somebody?
Like I want somebody?
날 보고 웃었지만
Do you think about me now, yeah?
All the time, yeah, all the time
I got no time to lose
내 길었던 하루, 난 보고 싶어
Ra-ta-ta-ta, 울린 심장 (Ra-ta-ta-ta)
I got nothing to lose
널 좋아한다고, ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh
Ra-ta-ta-ta, 울린 심장 (Ra-ta-ta-ta)
But I don't want to
Stay in the middle
Like you a little, don't want no riddle
말해줘, say it back, oh, say it, ditto
아침은 너무 멀어, so say it, ditto
I don't want to
Walk in this 미로
다 아는 건 아니어도 바라던 대로
말해줘, say it back, oh, say it, ditto
I want you so, want you, so say it, ditto
Not just anybody
너를 상상했지
항상 닿아있던
처음 느낌 그대로 난
기다렸지 all this time
I got nothing to lose
널 좋아한다고, ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh
Ra-ta-ta-ta, 울린 심장 (Ra-ta-ta-ta)
But I don't want to
Stay in the middle
Like you a little, don't want no riddle
말해줘, say it back, oh, say it, ditto
아침은 너무 멀어, so say it ditto
I don't want to
Walk in this 미로
다 아는 건 아니어도 바라던 대로
말해줘, say it back, oh, say it, ditto
I want you so, want you, so say it, ditto

Stay in the middle
Like you a little, don't want no riddle
Say it, say it back, oh, say it ditto
Can't wait 'til the morning, so say it, ditto
My feelings for you
Like the memories we share
Have grown so big
Summer's already gone and it's autumn
Been waiting all this time
Do you want somebody?
Like I want somebody?
You smiled at me but
Do you think about me now, yeah?
All the time, yeah, all the time
I got no time to lose
I had a long day
I miss you
Ra-ta-ta-ta echoes my heart (Ra-ta-ta-ta)
I got nothing to lose
I like you, ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh-woah
Ra-ta-ta-ta echoes my heart (Ra-ta-ta-ta)
But I don't want to
Stay in the middle
Like you a littlе, don't want no riddle
Say it, say it back, oh, say it ditto
Can't wait 'til the morning, so say it, ditto
I don't want to walk in this maze
Not that I know еverything but
Just as I want it, say it, say it back
Oh, say it ditto
I want you so, want you, so say it ditto
Not just anybody
I imagined you
With the feeling
That's been always there I've been
Waiting all this time
I got nothing to lose
I like you, ooh-woah, ooh-woah, ooh-woah
Ra-ta-ta-ta echoes my heart (Ra-ta-ta-ta)
But I don't want to
Stay in the middle
Like you a little, don't want no riddle
Say it, say it back, oh, say it ditto
Can't wait 'til the morning, so say it, ditto
I don't want to walk in this maze
Not that I know everything but
Just as I want it, say it, say it back
Oh, say it ditto
I want you so, want you, so say it ditto
Hoo-ooh, ooh-ooh
