A fast read before the full lyric

A K-Pop collaboration where two voices trade apologies over a relationship's wreckage.

The lyric leans on that classic R&B structure of call-and-response, with Boa's voice cutting in to hold him accountable.

It's less about resolving the conflict and more about letting the two perspectives sit in the same messy space, which feels true to how these arguments actually go.

Editor's note

KEY and Boa's duet about love and regret

A K-Pop collaboration where two voices trade apologies over a relationship's wreckage.

I done hurt myself over loving you

The lyric leans on that classic R&B structure of call-and-response, with Boa's voice cutting in to hold him accountable. It's less about resolving the conflict and more about letting the two perspectives sit in the same messy space, which feels true to how these arguments actually go.

The phrase 'I did it for love' gets repeated so many times it starts to sound like a plea or an excuse. When he sings 'I done hurt myself over loving you,' it's that moment where the regret turns inward, the damage isn't just to the other person, but to his own sense of who he is. The words answer a kind of desperation to make the pain mean something, even if the reason feels thin.

That line shifts the blame from a partner to the act of loving itself, which is a quieter, more complicated kind of wreckage. It's not just an apology; it's an admission that the love might have been the thing that broke him.

The way Boa's line 'You know that you did me wrong' lands right after his apology gives the whole exchange its tension.

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

What's hard for me is I saw your game but yet and still you got me

You touched the deepest part of me, you got my heart it's jumpin'

I told you all of my secrets, didn't see betrayal

One year two months and it's over didn't think we'd fail

Loving you is causing me to change

And it hurts so bad, it don't feel the same

And now my friends are asking me what did I do

I done hurt myself over loving you (oh I)

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

(I know that I did you wrong)

Please forgive me baby girl I'm sorry

(Boa: You know that you did me wrong)

Why you crying baby girl I'm sorry

(I know that I did you wrong)

Heaven knows I didn't mean to hurt nobody

(Boa: You know that you did me wrong)

Let me take this time to say I'm sorry

Loving you is causing me to change

And it hurts so bad, it don't feel the same

And now my friends are asking me what did I do

I done hurt myself over loving you (oh I)

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

I had some intentions baby, but not on hurting you

I wanna make it up to you

Didn't you see it in my heart

I can't trust it anymore

I wanna make it up to you

I wanna make it up to you

Didn't you see it in my heart

I can't trust it anymore

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love

I did it for love
