BLACKPINK's Lovesick Girls and the ache that won't quit
A K-pop anthem about chasing love even when you know it's going to hurt.
But why we still looking for love?
Most pop songs about love sickness frame it as a temporary condition. This one treats it like a chronic illness. The repeated line 'We are the lovesick girls' isn't a rallying cry, it's a diagnosis the singers have accepted about themselves.
The phrase 'But I don't care, I'll do it over and over' is the whole engine of the song. It's not a declaration of hope; it's an admission of a habit you can't kick. The lyric 'Love is a drug that I quit' sits right next to it, making the whole thing feel like someone trying to talk themselves out of a relapse they know is coming.
It's the question the whole song is built around, and they never answer it. The music charges forward, but the lyric just hangs there, unresolved.
The way the phrase 'over and over' gets stretched out in the vocal delivery makes the repetition feel weary, not euphoric.

영원한 밤
yeong-wonhan bam
창문 없는 방에 우릴 가둔 (love)
changmun eomneun bang-e uril gadun (love)
What can we say?
What can we say?
매번 아파도 외치는 love (love)
maebeon apado oechineun love (love)
다치고 망가져도 나
dachigo manggajyeodo na
뭘 믿고 버티는 거야
mwol mitgo beotineun geoya
어차피 떠나면 상처투성인
eochapi tteonamyeon sangcheotuseong-in
채로 미워하게 될걸
chaero miwohage doelgeol
끝장을 보기 전 끝낼 순 없어
kkeutjang-eul bogi jeon kkeunnael sun eopseo
이 아픔을 기다린 것처럼
i apeumeul gidarin geotcheoreom
아마 다 잠깐 일지도 몰라
ama da jamkkan iljido molla
우린 무얼 찾아서 헤매는 걸까
urin mueol chajaseo hemaeneun geolkka
But I don’t care, I’ll do it over and over
But I don’t care, I’ll do it over and over
내 세상 속엔 너만 있으면 돼
nae sesang sogen neoman isseumyeon dwae
We are the lovesick girls
We are the lovesick girls
네 멋대로 내 사랑을 끝낼순 없어
ne meotdaero nae sarang-eul kkeunnaelsun eopseo
We are the lovesick girls
We are the lovesick girls
이 아픔 없인 난 아무 의미가 없어
i apeum eopsin nan amu uimiga eopseo
But we were born to be alone
But we were born to be alone
Yeah, we were born to be alone
Yeah, we were born to be alone
Yeah, we were born to be alone
Yeah, we were born to be alone
But why we still looking for love?
But why we still looking for love?
No love letters, no X and Os
No love letters, no X and Os
No love, never, my exes know
No love, never, my exes know
No diamond rings, that set in stone
No diamond rings, that set in stone
To the left, better left alone
To the left, better left alone
Didn’t wanna be a princess, I’m priceless
Didn’t wanna be a princess, I’m priceless
A prince not even on my list
A prince not even on my list
Love is a drug that I quit
Love is a drug that I quit
No doctor could help when I’m lovesick
No doctor could help when I’m lovesick
아마 다 잠깐 일지도 몰라
ama da jamkkan iljido molla
우린 무얼 찾아서 헤매는 걸까
urin mueol chajaseo hemaeneun geolkka
불안한 내 눈빛 속에 널 담아
buranhan nae nunbit soge neol dama
아프더라도 너만 있으면 돼
apeudeorado neoman isseumyeon dwae
We are the lovesick girls
We are the lovesick girls
