5+ Times NCT Were Just “Saying Anything” In Their Songs

K-Pop has a knack for catchy tunes that stick in your head, but sometimes the lyrics? Well, they’re a whole different story.

With their various units, NCT have been repeat “offenders” in this regard — often delivering lines that are as confusing as they are catchy.

Naturally, we’re going to dive into some of their most “What did they just say?” moments across their discography.

1. “Mad Dog” by NCT 127

NCT 127 really just threw in a deep, dark topic, and then… pajamas. It’s like they’re saying, “Yeah, life’s tough, but hey, at least I’m comfy!”

Jumping on my trauma already wear pajamas.

2. “Regular (English Ver)” by NCT 127

These guys must really love their dairy, huh? They’re walking around flaunting cheese like it’s a gold chain. I guess in NCT’s world, cheese is the new bling!

I be walking with the cheese, that’s the queso.

— NCT 127

3. “Love Talk” by WayV

Okay, so we’re running laps and… clapping? This line’s like a weird gym class that I’m not sure I signed up for. Fitness goals, WayV style!

Run it back, you gon’ have me running laps
I just want you to make it clap

— WayV

4. “Universe (Let’s Play Ball)” by NCT U

One minute, we’re shooting hoops — the next, we’re in outer space. NCT U’s idea of a date is definitely not your average dinner and a movie.

Let’s play ball, let’s play ball
Girl, you’re my universe

— NCT U

5. “Bad Alive” by WayV

From being too hot to handle to casually saying ‘no strings attached,’ WayV’s really baking up something spicy here, but their choice of words is… Oven mitts on, everyone!

Cool me off, I’m hotter than an oven Chill Chill
We just touching I don’t do no cuffing

— WayV

6. “Make A Wish (Birthday Song)” by NCT U

Sweet cravings, anyone? NCT U’s got a thing for sugar, and honestly, who can blame them? Skittles and jam donuts sound like a party to us — fans are just not quite sure what this lyric has to do with the rest of the song.

Sweet tooth, I know how to nibble
Ice cream, no flake, lemon drizzle
Chocolate milkshake, just a little
Oreo, marshmallow with the sprinkles

— NCT U
