Following a whole bunch of EPs, the K-pop boy band P1Harmony has finally released their debut album, Killin’ It. The 10-song collection arrived yesterday, and the brash, boastful title track has landed on the Genius Top Songs chart.
Featuring lyrics by group member Jongseob, who co-wrote every song on the album, “Killin’ It” is built around a blaring synth riff and thumping hip-hop beat that seem to echo the tune’s playful cockiness. Intak takes the first verse and raps about how he’s harassed by the press. He doesn’t seem to mind the attention.
아무나 하는 그런 노랜 low, low (Low)
모두 다 손들어 거친 나의 flow, flow (Flow)
매스컴 난리 paparazzi hound me (Ayy)
Surprise, 너넨 운이 좋게, found me
Jiung grabs the refrain and explains that he’s projecting a “whole new unseen color,” according to the English translation.
(깔) 처음이지 난 본 적 없는 깔
확 튀지만 독특한 이게 내 색깔
누가 뭐래도 swaggy, 다른 내 빛깔
I’m the boss, I’m the man, I’m a super, super, super
Keeho says his “moves are like blades” in perhaps the most memorable line of the chorus. You may freeze, but dude’s got it made.
죽이지 때깔 when we play
내 춤은 한칼, yeah, we slay
기가 죽을 걸, I got it made (You, you already know)
We killin' it, da-da-da, da, da
The “Killin’ It” music video is a visual sugar rush packed with cool clothes and impressive choreography, and at one point, the boys even manage to make the sport of curling look exciting.
