Description

“열기 (9)” is a track that proves a point that even without aggressive tempo, the temperature of the music can become heated up by the fervor of the girls.^[1]

자극적인 템포 없이도 소녀들의 열기로 얼마나 음악의 온도를 높일 수 있는지 증명하는 ‘열기’.

하나도 겁낼 필요 없는데
나랑 높이 위로 붕붕 (꺄)
하늘 높이 위로 붕붕 (꺄)
우리에겐 시간이 좀 모자라
나랑 높이 위로 붕붕 (꺄)
하늘 높이 위로 붕붕 꺄

오늘 딱 하루 너를 초대할게
내일 내 맘이 전부 변하기 전에
무겁게 안고 있는 걱정들은 여기 두고 가
이제 발이 떠 tonight

더 높이 붕붕 뜰래 위로 꺄
더 높이 붕붕 뜰래 위로 꺄

Hey, 더 멀리 가도 좋아
Right, 알 수 없는 비행
콜록콜록 (Cough, cough), you know, you know
Try, 손을 잡는 구름
Time, 어느샌가 훌쩍
You know, you know
비솔 You know, you know

오늘 딱 하루 너를 초대할게
내일 내 맘이 전부 변하기 전에
무겁게 안고 있는 걱정들은 여기 두고 가 (Whoa-oh)
이제 발이 떠 tonight
Hey!

더 높이 붕붕 뜰래 위로 꺄

(Ah, ah) 눈으로 보아도 너는 믿을 수가 없지 (Ah, ah)
지금 기분을 다, 다, 다 알아 (Ah, ah)
끝난 게 아니야
알 수 없는 우리 비행 (Ah, ah)
널 데려가 더 위로

오늘 난 너를 위해 준비했어
아름다운 별 반짝 빛나고 있어 (Oh, whoa-oh-oh)
(더 높이 붕붕 뜰래 위로) (Ah-ah-ah)
여기서 끝이 아냐 고갤 들고 나를 찾아봐 (들아봐-ah-ah)

더 날아보자, trust me (Oh-oh)

Trivia

The song’s full title, “열기 (9)”, is pronounced as “Yeolgi (Gu)”, which translates to “Hot Air Balloon”.
- The title “Hot Air Balloon” suggests that the song is about flying higher up with someone.
- “붕붕” (bung bung) is an onomatopoeia for the sound a hot air balloon makes.
  - “콜록콜록” (kollok kollok) is onomatopoeia for the sound coughing makes. Go Won’s coughs can be heard in the song after that line.
The demo for “9” was sung in English, likely by Brooke Toia.^[2]
This song most likely went under many changes before being released as the one we know today. In the 394th episode of LOONA TV, Choerry can be heard singing HyunJin’s “Hey 원래 그런 거야” line. Also, at the LOONAbirth concert Kim Lip a part of HaSeul’s bridge line, “너는 믿을 수가 없지”.^[3]
