Baby monsters drip just droped

[@taylorkim7512]

I think these lyrics will only be properly understood by Koreans or people who understand what happened to this singer over the past year. Last year in Korea, GD (G-Dragon called GD) was suspected of drug use by the mainstream media, and there were other celebrities as well (the male lead actor of Movie Parasite was also suspected of drug use, but it was not true, and he unfortunately committed suicide due to the burden of the coercive investigation). However, GD maintained his convictions despite the investigation, numerous suspicions, and absurd interviews, and was eventually released without charges. However, due to the topic he was in Korea, many media outlets were already busy criticizing him. After he returned to his activities, he showed his own behavior, such as donating to society without any concern, and the Korean and English lyrics of this song summarize these actions. It may seem like a bright melody and a repetitive song, but if you look at the Korean web site, the lyrics, the meaning, and the ambiguity, you will understand why he is a GOAT. In the end, this song is not just a bright, addictive, and repetitive song, but it is also an ambiguous music that approaches with two or three different meanings when you look at the lyrics. Be sure to look up the lyrics interpretation and the Korean-English ambiguous meaning👍

[@shazaza1]

GD said what hurt him most about the 2023 drug allegations were netizens commenting "I knew it". Some lyrics in Power are "Don't waste your time yea it's gotta be me, Prove 'em all wrong I've got all the receipts." The glasses that he wore to the police station are on the reporter's desk in the MV. And love that when BMW removed his endorsements from their website amid the allegations, he arrived in a custom BMW at the police station to voluntarily assist the investigation. He has always stood up for himself. Power's official MV has English captions which are well worth reading to understand the full context of his message, which is a triumphant middle finger up to the media and netizens who maligned him. There's a comment listing his many firsts among Korean idols. Power MV was filmed in one take, just like Untitled. GD is the GOAT and inspiration for many idols, the idols' idol. Hybe founder Bang Shin Hyuk said of GD ""I'm always jealous of (G-Dragon). When I listened to BIGBANG's 'Lies' and 'Haru Haru' albums, the level of surprise was so great that I felt bad, like Salieri looking at Mozart". Zico said that G Dragon is practically unrivaled in performance.

[@이서진-h8c]

"POWER" is a song that warns and entertains journalists and the public who spread fake malicious public opinion when G-Dragon is falsely accused of drugs. And I'm really looking forward to the release of 8 songs including "POWER" as a full-length album soon. The legend of K-pop who became the first Korean to enter the Billboard chart is back.

Gd was born on August 18, 1988 and it took 88months from hiatus

Song(2minutes24seconds)->2+2+4=8 8 in the lyrics and a the end of the MV ! 8 songs in the album Born on August 18,1988 It's been 88 months since his last solo song released(7years ago) 88 is his number for real❤

[@Mimaw3453]

And also the pronunciation 8 8 in the song is Pal Pal nara means fly high and that’s why this is why in the final ecene gd jump giving the idea of flying… the channel that explains it best is “itsANDYandJAS” kzbin.info/www/bejne/fZCQaH6lrpyppaMsi=HRqQ7PNL4D7KgBcS sorry for my english

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen this level of references in lyrics and double meanings. His beat is insane, his flow is unmatched, his aura and charisma is without equal.

[@QueensGambit9876]

Exactly... his lyrics are Fire!!

[@guillanbalonga833]

Agree I am so amazed to him

[@itsmingming]

Exactly! It is crazy and it is not enough to just say he is genius. He is more than that. In this short song, how many double meaning rhymes did he put in with two language Korean and English. It is solo Good.

King Of Kpop Is Back 🔥👑🛐

[@ArlenaCampbell-nt7kr]

This man is a ledgend.Hw keeps coming with bangers. I love everything about this. His play on words is amazing.

[@abbyjennifertamayo1318]

This is a pre-release digital single so I believe an album is coming out soon. The two people in red cloaks standing facing each other is probably a hint to that. It looks like a logo or something akin to this. It's everywhere in the video and also at the back of his jacket/coat. Anyway, the king is back!! I'm cryinnggggg. Thanks for reacting to our GOAT, GD!!

[@doingddoing-d7p]

hahaha the reason why you don't know the comback schedule was G-dragon drop his song at sudden.Nobody knew that he would comeback on October 31th until the 30th midnight. He didn't promote his comback. On 30th, He suddenly announced that he will do the instagram live on 23:55, and in 24:00 he played the whole song.

A straight flush is the second best possible hand in poker and royal flush is the best hand. So he basically says, ''i heard u have a straight flush'' so u may think you're gonna win but i always have royal flush which will beat your straight flush.

I've heard of G as a legend but I had no idea he was coming back😂 now I'm actually excited for it this was a bop

[@user_doag6dha1gplh]

와.. 리뷰를 자세하게 해주셔서 가끔 보는 채널인데 지디를 해주시다니! 이 노래는 미디어의 파워에 대한 이야기를 담은 노래라고 들었어요! 그래거서 중간중간 방송국이 나오는듯.. 지디는 나오지 않은 7년동안 별의별 일들이 다 있었거든요. 팀에서 2명이 큰 범죄에 연루되었고, 열애설, 군대, 그리고 최근에는 본인이 연관된 범죄 (결론적으로 혐의가 없었지만)에 연루되면서 큰 보도가 됐었어요. 몇몇은 아예 사실이 아닌 의혹제기만 되었지만 마치 사실인것 마냥 부풀어진 면이 있었죠 그런 모든 면들이 다 담겨있는 노래라고 생각합니다!
