ALLDAY PROJECT's “TALK” is a confident takedown of gossips and jealous critics who run their mouths online but have nothing to say face to face. They wave off the rumors and the cheap attention-chasing, saying their own work and close clique speak louder than any chatter. The tone is cool, teasing and unbothered, a bit cocky, as they keep rising like fire and have no time for complaints.
Key lines
4 lines from the song in Korean, with how they sound and what they mean. The full line-by-line breakdown lives in the app.
넌 백날 써 내려봤자 네 애인들Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): neon baeng·nal sseo nae·ryeo·bwat·jja ne ae·in·deul

- 써sseowrite
- 내려봤자nae·ryeo·bwat·jjaeven if you write it out
- 네neyour
- 애인들ae·in·deulexes
백날 literally means 'a hundred days', but here it's an idiom for 'no matter how much/long' — futile effort. 써 내려봤자 = 써다 'write' + 내리다 'write out' + 봤자 'even if tried' = 'even if you wrote it all out'
만들어 내 새 루머Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): man·deu·reo nae sae ru·meo
Meaning: they make up new rumors
Words in this line- 만들어man·deu·reomake
- 내naeup
- 새saenew
- 루머ru·meorumors
만들다 alone means 'to make', 내다 is an auxiliary verb meaning 'to put out/produce'; together 만들어 내다 means 'to fabricate/make up'
아는 놈들 알아 볼 걸 진가Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): a·neun nom·deul a·ra bol kkeol jin·ga
Meaning: Those who know will recognize the real worth
Words in this line- 아는a·neunknowing
- 놈들nom·deulguys
- 알아a·rawill know
- 볼bolwill see
- 걸kkeolsurely
- 진가jin·gatrue worth
The ending '-ㄹ걸' in '볼 걸' adds a nuance of confident prediction ('will surely see/know'), not a plain future tense.
조용히 쉿 난 파지 한 길만Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): jo·yong·hi swit nan pa·ji han gil·man
Meaning: Quietly, shh, I stick to only one path
Words in this line- 조용히jo·yong·hiquietly
- 쉿switshh
- 난nanI
- 파지pa·jidig
- 한hanone
- 길만gil·manonly path
'파다' alone means 'to dig'; the line echoes the idiom '한 우물만 판다' — 'dig only one well', meaning full dedication to a single path.
