HyunA – Roll Deep

BoA – Woman
“No comparing, I shine just as I am. I’m beautiful enough, To be a woman.”
Jennie – Solo
“Used to be your girl/Now I’m used to being the GOAT
You’re sittin’ on your feelings/I’m sittin’ on my throne
I ain’t got no time for the troubles in your eyes
This time I’m only lookin’ at me, myself and I.”
CL – Baddest Female
“This is for all my bad girls around the world.
Not bad meaning bad, but bad meaning good, you know?
Let’s light it up and let it burn like we don’t care.
Let ‘em know how it feels damn good to be bad.”
Maria – Hwasa
“I'm saying this for you/It's a shining night
Don't torture yourself/Oh Maria, I'm saying this for you
Why are you trying so hard?/You're already beautiful.”
IU – Palette
“I like it, I'm twenty five/I know that you hate me
I got this, I’m truly fine/I think I know myself a little bit now.”
Sunmi – Gashina
“I’m gonna live like a flower, I’ll be myself
Can’t nobody stop me now
No try me.”
