“FEARLESS” by LE SSERAFIM is a defiant song about owning your ambition and refusing to hide it, scars and all. They feel a fresh wave of passion in their veins, press the gas on a highway toward a great ending, and shrug off old troubles everyone already knows about. Anyone who stares or tells them to tone it down is warned to step aside, because they are claiming the top spot and their payback is ready.

제일 높은 곳에 난 닿길 원해 느꼈어 내 answerListen from this lineRomanization (as sung): je·il no·peun go·se nan da·kil won·hae neu·kkyeo·sseo nae answer
Meaning: I want to reach the very highest point — I felt it, that's my answer.

- 곳에go·seat the place
- 난nanI
- 닿길da·kilto reach
- 원해won·haewant
- 느꼈어neu·kkyeo·sseofelt
- 내naemy
Word for word: Most high place I to-reach-want, felt, my answer.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: '닿길 원해' compresses 'to reach/touch' and 'want' into one phrase — there's no separate word for 'peak', just 'the highest place' (가장 높은 곳). 'Answer' is dropped in as an English word for rhythm and a confident punch.

- 트러블에teu·reo·beu·rein the trouble
Word for word: Interest none, in-past everyone knowing that trouble-in, huh.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: '관심 없어' literally means 'there is no interest' — the subject 'I' is dropped, as is normal in spoken Korean. The 'huh' at the end is a plain English interjection added for attitude.
(Whoa-oh-oh-oh) 멋진 결말에 닿게Listen from this lineRomanization (as sung): wo·oh·oh·oh meot·jjin gyeol·ma·re da·ke
Meaning: So that I reach an awesome ending.
Words in this line- 멋진meot·jjincool
- 결말에gyeol·ma·reto the ending
- 닿게da·keso as to reach
Word for word: Cool ending-to so.as.to-touch.
Why it doesn't translate word for word: to reach a dramatic ending
겸손한 연기 같은 건 더 이상 안 해Listen to the first verse — freeRomanization (as sung): gyeom·son·han yeon·gi ga·teun geon deo i·sang an hae
Meaning: I don't play humble anymore

- 건geonthing (topic)
- 더deomore
- 이상i·sanganymore
- 안annot
- 해haedo
Word for word: Humble acting-like thing-topic more anymore not do
Why it doesn't translate word for word: '연기 같은 건' literally reads as 'the thing that resembles acting' — a set way of saying 'putting on an act'. '더 이상 안 해' = 'don't do (it) anymore'. Individually the words are about 'acting' and 'a thing'; together they mean 'I don't fake humility anymore.'
