Background Info:

DDU-DU DDU-DU (often shortened to D4) is the title track of BLACKPINK’s first Korean mini-album, Square Up. It was in-part produced by the prolific in-house producer Teddy Park, well-known for his work across many of the most popular groups within YG Entertainment.

The music video became the most viewed video online (and the second most watched music video of all time) within the first 24 hours of its release. It remains to be the most watched K-Pop music video of all time on YouTube.

Song Meaning:

DDU-DU DDU-DU is a fun and uncomplicated song about being savage and enjoying their success. YG Entertainment groups have always had a more grandiose attitude and “harder” concept, and with this song, BLACKPINK are keeping the company tradition alive.

Original Korean Lyrics:
BLACKPINK!
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
BLACKPINK!
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
Eh 착한 얼굴에 그렇지 못한 태도 (Huh)
가녀린 몸매 속 가려진 volume은 두 배로 (Yah, yah, double up)
거침없이 직진 굳이 보진 않지 눈치 (Woo!)
Black 하면 Pink 우린 예쁘장한 Savage (BLACKPINK!)
원할 땐 대놓고 뺏지 (Uh)
넌 뭘 해도 칼로 물 베기 (Uh)
두 손엔 가득한 fat check
궁금하면 해봐 fact check
눈 높인 꼭대기
물 만난 물고기
좀 독해 난 Toxic
You 혹해 I'm Foxy
두 번 생각해
흔한 남들처럼 착한 척은 못 하니까
착각하지 마
쉽게 웃어주는 건 날 위한 거야
아직은 잘 모르겠지
굳이 원하면 test me
넌 불 보듯이 뻔해
만만한 걸 원했다면
Oh, wait 'til I do what I do
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
Ddu-du, ddu-du, du
BLACKPINK!
지금 내가 걸어가는 거린
BLACKPINK 4 way 사거리
동서남북 사방으로 run it
너네 버킷리스트 싹 다 I bought it
널 당기는 것도 멀리 밀치는 것도
제멋대로 하는 bad girl
좋건 싫어하건 누가 뭐라 하던
When the bass drop, it's another banger
두 번 생각해
흔한 남들처럼 착한 척은 못 하니까
착각하지 마
쉽게 웃어주는 건 날 위한 거야
아직은 잘 모르겠지
굳이 원하면 test me
넌 불 보듯이 뻔해
만만한 걸 원했다면
Oh, wait 'til I do what I do
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du
(Ah yeah, ah yeah)
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du
(Ah yeah, ah yeah)
Ddu-du, ddu-du, du
What you gonna do when I
Come, come through with that, that, uh, Uh-huh
What you gonna do when I
Come, come through with that, that, uh, Uh-huh
뜨거워, 뜨거워, 뜨거워 like fire
뜨거워, 뜨거워, 뜨거워 like fire
BLACKPINK!
Hey!
(Ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah, ah yeah!)
뜨거워, 뜨거워, 뜨거워 like fire (Hey!)
뜨거워, 뜨거워, 뜨거워 like fire
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du
English Translation:
BLACKPINK!
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
BLACKPINK!
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
Eh, I may look sweet, but I don't act like it (Huh)
My slender figure hides twice the volume (Yah, yah, double up)
I give it to them straight, I don't care what people think (Woo!)
If it's black, then it's pink, we are pretty savage (BLACKPINK!)
When we want, we'll steal outright (Uh)
Whatever you do, it's like cutting water with a knife (Uh)
Our hands are full with a fat check
If you're curious, fact check
Expectations higher
Just like fish in the water
I'm a little toxic
You've fallen for me, I'm Foxy
Think twice
I can't act nice like other people
Don't be mistaken
I only smile easily for myself
You may not know well yet
If you want, then test me
You're so predictable
If you wanted something easy
Oh, wait 'til I do what I do
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du
(Ah yeah, ah yeah!)
Ddu-du, ddu-du, du
BLACKPINK!
The path I walk now
BLACKPINK 4 way intersection
North, South, East, West, All ways run it
All of your bucket list, I bought it
Pulling you and pushing you far away
I do it however I want, because I'm a bad girl
Whether you like me or hate me or whatever anyone says
When the bass drop, it's another banger
Think twice
I can't act nice like other people
Don't be mistaken
I only smile easily for myself
You may not know well yet
If you want, then test me
You're so predictable
If you wanted something easy
Oh, wait 'til I do what I do
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du
(Ah yeah, ah yeah)
Hit you with that ddu-du, ddu-du, du
(Ah yeah, ah yeah)
