Highlight

**“Highlight”** (하이라잇) is the 3rd track on IZ\*ONE’s's second mini album, HEART\*IZ, released on April 1, 2019.

## Official Description

### ENGLISH

‘Highlight’ is a trendy deep house genre dance track that portrays IZ\*ONE’s confident character.

It is an appealing representation of the message that our genuine self, as we are, complete us and holds most value. As an extension of the track 'Violeta,' that aims to broadly convey IZ\*ONE's progressive side, this track holds a catchy chorus and hook with rhythmic vocal lines.

### KOREAN

‘Highlight’는 아이즈원의 자신감과 당당함을 고스란히 엿볼 수 있는 트렌디한 딥 하우스 장르의 댄스곡으로 너와 나 우리 모두 지금 모습 그대로, 꾸밈 없는 이대로의 모습이 멋있고 가치 있다는 메시지를 매력적이게 풀어낸 곡이다.

특히 타이틀곡 ‘비올레타’에서 다 전하지 못한 진취적인 아이즈원의 모습을 폭 넓게 담아내며 비올레타의 연장선이라고도 볼 수 있는 이 곡은 중독적인 코러스와 후크 위에 리드미컬한 아이즈원의 보컬 라인이 돋보인다.

### JAPANESE

「Highlight」はIZ\*ONEの自信とプライドそのものが感じられるトレンディなディープハウスジャンルのダンス曲で君と私、私たちみんな今の飾らない姿のままでかっこよくて価値があるというメッセージを魅力的に表現した曲である。

特にタイトル曲「Violeta」で伝えきれなかった進取的なIZ\*ONEの姿を幅広く描き「Violeta」の延長線ともいえるこの曲は中毒性のあるコーラスとフックの上にリズミカルなIZ\*ONEのボーカルラインが引き立つ。

어둠 속 가려져 희미해진 원석
반짝일 듯 반짝거리지 못해
그 안에 갇힌 채 헤매이는 너를
이끌어 매일 매일 매일
My own way way way

빛바랜 모습이라 해도
더 탁해진다 해도
온전하게 그렇게 yeah
멀어진다 해도
좀 늦어진다 해도
언젠간 꼭 빛나게 yeah

날 선 Spotlight
그 시선조차 결국
내겐 Sun light
환한 빛으로 바꿔 가
Want to know, want to know
You want to know?
그저 날 봐
I make my own

꾸밈없는 이대로
있는 그대로 난 Hi Highlight

아직은 깨닫지 못할
너란 보석 (Twinkle)
머지않은 그날에
곧 깨닫게 될 거야

반짝거리며 넌 빛날 테지
숨겨왔던 너의 모습 그대로
이 이 순간 forever
We are at all time together

푸른 Moonlight
그 달빛마저 결국
내겐 Pin light
나의 무대로 바꿔 가
Want to know, want to know
You want to know?
그저 날 봐
I make my own

시선을 내게 맞춰 Look at me

Hidden by darkness, the faint gemstone
It can't sparkle
You who are lost and trapped inside
I lead you every day every day every day
My own way way way

Even if you’ve lost your light
Even if you become murkier
You'll be intact just like that yeah
Even if you're going further away
Even if you’re going to be even more late
Someday you'll shine yeah

The spot light on me
Your eyes are ultimately
My sun light
It changes to a bright light
Want to know, want to know
You want to know?
Just simply look at me
I make my own

Highlight (Look at me)
Highlight (Look at me)

Oh everything to me is a Highlight Hi Highlight
Oh every moment to me is a Highlight Hi Highlight
Just the way you are
Just like this naturally
Just myself, I'm a Hi Highlight
Highlight

You, the gem that still
Isn't aware (Twinkle)
You'll be aware when
The day comes in the near-future

You'll be shining and sparkling
Just the natural self that you've been hiding away
This, this time forever
Are are at all time together

The blue moon light
Even that moon light is ultimately
Just a pin light to me
I change it to my stage
Want to know, want to know
You want to know?
Just simply look at me
I make my own

Please hand me a spot of my own oh
So you can sparkle, to be dazzling
Keep your eyes on me, look at me
