“STYLE” by Hearts2Hearts is a bright, playful crush song about being drawn to someone who stands out without even trying. They wonder about this person's music, after-school hours and favorite colors, and they want to get closer. Cheeks glowing red like a melted sun and a quick green sketch on white paper color the picture, while the mood stays light, giddy and affectionate.
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 왜 늘 튀는데? 진짜 재밌어Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): neon wae neul twi·neun·de? jin·jja jae·mi·sseo
Meaning: Why do you always stand out? It's really fun.

- 왜waewhy
- 늘neulalways
- 튀는데?twi·neun·de?stand out
- 진짜jin·jjareally
- 재밌어jae·mi·sseofun
Word for word: You, why always bouncing? Truly fun.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 튀다 alone means 'to bounce', but said of a person it means 'to stand out from the crowd'. 진짜 means 'genuine' on its own, yet in speech it is just 'really'. The ending 는데 adds a note of curious wonder that no single word carries.
내려앉아 녹은 해는 주홍빛 볼이 됐어Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): nae·ryeo·an·ja no·geun hae·neun ju·hong·bit bo·ri dwae·sseo
Meaning: The melted sun that settled there turned your cheeks vermilion

- 녹은no·geunmelted
- 해는hae·neunsun
- 주홍빛ju·hong·bitvermilion
- 볼이bo·richeeks
- 됐어dwae·sseobecame
Word for word: Having-settled-down melted sun-topic vermilion-color cheeks-subject became.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 내려앉다 means 'settle down', 녹다 'melt', and 해 'sun'. Together they form a metaphor for a blush, as if sunset light melted onto the cheeks. The particles -는 and -이 have no English equivalent, which makes the literal version awkward.
너를 가슴 뛰게 하는 건 뭔데 babyListen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): neo·reul ga·seum ttwi·ge ha·neun geon mwon·de baby
Meaning: What is it that makes your heart race, baby?
Words in this line- 너를neo·reulyou
- 가슴ga·seumchest
- 뛰게ttwi·gemake race
- 하는ha·neunthat does
- 건geonthe thing
- 뭔데mwon·dewhat is it
Word for word: You chest jump making thing what-is, baby?
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 가슴 is 'chest' and 뛰다 is 'jump' or 'run', but 가슴 뛰다 together means a heart pounding with excitement. 뭔데 is casual 'what is it'. So the line asks what excites and thrills you.
네 style은 다 맞아, 그게 너라서 더 좋아 (좋아)Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): ne style-eun da ma·ja, geu·ge neo·ra·seo deo jo·a (jo·a)
Meaning: Your style suits me completely, and because it's you, I like it even more
Words in this line- 네neyour
- style은style-eunstyle (topic)
- 다daall
- 맞아,ma·ja,fits
- 그게geu·gethat thing
- 너라서neo·ra·seobecause it's you
- 더deomore
- 좋아jo·aI like
- (좋아)(jo·a)I like
Word for word: Your style-topic all fits, that because-being-you more like.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: 맞아 alone means 'correct', but about a style it means 'it suits me'. 너라서 packs 너 ('you') and the reason ending 라서 into 'because it is you'. 좋아 alone means 'good', but here it means 'I like it', and the bracketed repeat is a backing-vocal echo.
