BTS’s “FYA” is a high-heat club night where everything blazes and the group urges you to dance without holding back. They crave gasoline to feed the flames, sweat through the heat, and treat hesitation as torture, so they leap in like bungee jumpers. Even deep winter feels warm and the floor goes wild, with a playful warning to keep a little distance from the fire.
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.
뜨거워, 뜨거워 vibin' 완전 핫뜨 뜨거워 oh, whoaListen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): tteu·geo·wo, tteu·geo·wo vibin' wan·jeon hat·tteu tteu·geo·wo oh, whoa
Meaning: Hot, hot, vibin', it's totally scorching hot (oh, whoa)
Words in this line- 뜨거워,tteu·geo·wo,hot
- 뜨거워tteu·geo·wohot
- 완전wan·jeontotally
- 핫뜨hat·tteuhot-hot
- 뜨거워tteu·geo·wohot
핫뜨 is a playful blend: 핫 (English 'hot') + 뜨(거워) ('burning hot'). Together it means 'extra, blazing hot'.
무서워, 무서워, 한겨울에도 엉뜨 필요 없어 hooListen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): mu·seo·wo, mu·seo·wo, han·gyeo·u·re·do eong·tteu pi·ryo eop·sseo hoo
Meaning: So intense — even in deep winter, no need for a heated seat (hoo)
Words in this line- 무서워,mu·seo·wo,scary
- 무서워,mu·seo·wo,scary
- 한겨울에도han·gyeo·u·re·doeven in midwinter
- 엉뜨eong·tteuseat warmer
- 필요pi·ryoneed
- 없어eop·sseothere isn't
Word for word: Scary, scary, even in midwinter butt-heater need isn't there
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 무서워 alone means 'scary', but here it means 'scarily good'. 엉뜨 is short for 엉덩이 ('butt') and 뜨거워 ('hot'): a heated seat. Together: the heat is so strong you need no warming even in winter.
We ragin', 확 돌아 춤을 춰, 쭈뼛쭈뼛은 괴로워Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): We ragin', hwak do·ra chu·meul chwo, jju·ppyeot·jju·ppyeo·seun goe·ro·wo
Meaning: We're raging — spin around and dance, hesitating is torture
Words in this line- 확hwaksuddenly
- 돌아do·raturn around
- 춤을chu·meuldance
- 춰,chwo,dance
- 쭈뼛쭈뼛은jju·ppyeot·jju·ppyeo·seunhesitating shyly
- 괴로워goe·ro·wopainful
Word for word: We raging, suddenly turn around, dance a dance, shy-hesitating is painful
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 확 돌아 literally means 'turn around sharply', but in the song it means 'let loose and spin'. 쭈뼛쭈뼛 is a sound-word for shyly shuffling in place. 괴로워 literally means 'painful', here it means 'standing there shy is unbearable'.
뭘 고민해? 걍 끼어들어, 번지 뛰어들어 we go right nowListen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): mwol go·min·hae? gyang kki·eo·deu·reo, beon·ji ttwi·eo·deu·reo we go right now
Meaning: Why overthink? Just cut in, jump in like a bungee (we go right now)
Words in this line- 뭘mwolwhat
- 고민해?go·min·hae?worry about
- 걍gyangjust
- 끼어들어,kki·eo·deu·reo,cut in
- 번지beon·jibungee
- 뛰어들어ttwi·eo·deu·reojump in
Word for word: What worry? Just cut in, bungee jump in
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 뭘 고민해 literally means 'what are you worrying about', but it means 'don't overthink it'. 끼어들어 alone is 'cut in' (like a queue), here 'join the fun'. 번지 (bungee) + 뛰어들어 ('jump in') paints a no-hesitation leap.
