Black Or White

**"Black Or White"** is the fifth track featured in Dreamcatcher's 1st Studio Album, *"Dystopia: The Tree Of Language"*.

JiU, Siyeon and Dami participated in the writing of the song.

## Description

### English

This is a medium-tempo pop number with a rhythmic bass-driven chorus and a vocoder sound in the second half of the song. The song is about criticizing the black and white logic of the world.

### Korean

리드미컬한 베이스가 돋보이는 후렴구와, 곡 후반부의 보코더 사운드가 매력적인 미디엄 템포의 팝 넘버. 세상에 횡행하고 있는 흑백논리에 대한 비판적 내용을 담았다.

## Background

Black or White was released on February 19, 2020 as the 5th track in *Dystopia: The Tree Of Language*, on March 21, 2020 it was presented on Dingo Music with an official choreography, and also announced that Dreamcatcher would perform the b-side on music shows, exteding their promotions period for the album.

On october 28 2021, during the JUMF2021 it was performed as a OT7 version including Handong.

> “*I remember that our “Black Or White” stage performance was extremely fun. “Black Or White” is actually not a title track, but is one of our tracks from our first album, Dystopia: The Tree of Language. And I remember that many of our fans also loved our performance for it. The song’s concept and mood was also my style which made it even more enjoyable for me. I would like to explore concepts that are a bit more laid-back and fun [maybe a little less dark], not just for us but also for our fans to enjoy in a different manner!*”

정답은 없어
네게 맞추려 하지마
날 바꾸려고 하지마
Oh oh

모든 걸 너는
다 이미 알고 있는 듯
웃음을 꾹 참고서
내 대답을 기다리고 있어

보기 중에 답이 없다면
나는 고르지 못해
Oh no oh no
아마 너의 머릿속에선
끝이 난 시나리오

Black or white, black or white
그 무엇도 아냐 난
니가 원하는
그 대답은 내게 없어
Black or white, black or white
말해 주지 않아 난
니가 정해 놓은
그 대답은 내게 없어

아무거나 섞어 버릴래 Okay okay
이게 너의 질문에 대답 Umm
그냥 다른 거 틀린 거는 아니야
이미 서로 싸우겠지 어느 편인지
그 사이 보이지도
않는 길로 걸어가겠어
또 조여오는 심리 끝없는 시기
새로움을 부정하고 문제라고 칭해
결국 불리겠지 돌연변이로 Uh

보기 중에 답이 없다면
나는 고르지 못해
Oh no oh no

Black or white, black or white

니가 원하는
그 대답은 내게 없어
Black or white, black or white
말해 주지 않아 난
니가 정해 놓은
그 대답은 내게 없어

많은 생각을 등 뒤에 숨긴
너의 가면 위에
더욱 깊어져만 가는 딜레마
No way no way no way

Woo woo oh woo woo oh
의미 없어 정해진 답
Woo woo oh woo woo oh
그건 누구도 몰라

## English

There isn’t a right answer
Stop trying to make me fit you
Stop trying to change me
Oh oh

It's like you know
You already know everything
You hold back your laughter
Waiting for my answer

If the correct answer isn’t an option
I cannot chose or pick
Oh no, oh no
Maybe within your head
This scenario is already over

Black or white, black or white
But I'm neither of them
Whatever you want right now
I don't have the answer
Black or white, black or white
I won't tell you nothing
Even if is the decision you set
I don't have the answer

I’m going to mix anything, okay okay
This is the answer to your question umm
It's just different, it's not wrong
Picking a side, you're already fighting
But in the meantime
I'll walk down a path others can't see
The psyche tightens up again endlessly
Deny the newness and call it a problem
In the end, I'll be called a mutant uh

If the correct answer isn’t an option
I cannot chose or pick
Oh no, oh no
Maybe within your head
This scenario is already over

Black or white, black or white
But I'm neither of them
Whatever you want right now
I don't have the answer
Black or white, black or white
I won't tell you nothing
Even if is the decision you set
I don't have the answer

So many thoughts behind your back
Hiding all under a mask
This dilemma is growing up deeper
No way, no way, no way

Woo woo oh woo woo oh
The right answer is meaningless
Woo woo oh woo woo oh
But nobody knows that

Black or white
Black or white
Black or white
Black or white
Black or white
There are countless colors

Black or white
Black or white
Black or white
Black or white

Black or white, black or white
But I'm neither of them (Oh black or white)
Whatever you want right now
I don't have the answer (Hoo hoo)
Black or white, black or white
[Su/Yoo] I won't tell you nothing (Oh)
Even if is the decision you set
I don't have the answer

I don’t matter what you say
