ABOUT/MEANING: 'Baby Wassup?' captures the vulnerable moment before expressing feelings to someone you like - a song born from Yeonjun imagining himself approaching someone he was interested in and fumbling over saying "baby wassup?". Rather than focusing on the confession itself, the song stays in those uncertain seconds leading up to it: the nervous thoughts, stolen glances, awkward greetings, and excitement that come with suddenly finding yourself completely thrown off by someone. Wanting to make a good impression only makes every stumble feel more obvious, exposing the contrast between the cool image he hopes to project and the clumsy reality brought on by his nerves. Even knowing he may trip over his words, he chooses to try again, celebrating the courage to be genuine rather than flawless and reminding us that sincere feelings matter more than delivering the perfect line.
LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATIONS (translations by @translatingtxt)
OK, OK, OK, OK
Baby when you're walking towards me from afar
Even if I try to act like it's nothing,
I can't stop stealing glances
These feelings are a first for me
What is this feeling?
OK, OK, OK, OK
Because of the nerves, I'm thirsty
I awkwardly say hi to you
Why am I like this? It's absurd
You walked in my life like you own it
I'm hooked, I can't breathe
Without a warning, on my heart you knockin'
You got it, you got it, you got it, you got it bad
You really got it bad
You really got it like that, like that, like that
Even if I'm a little clumsy, again
Ideal type, taste, MBTI
I already know it all but I ask anyway
Baby say some (to me)
Really want you, baby say some (to me)
In my heart, today is day 1
You walked in my life like you own it
I'm hooked, I can't breathe
Without a warning, on my heart you knockin'
You got it, you got it, you got it, you got it bad
You really got it bad
You really got it like that, like that, like that
Even if I'm a little clumsy, again
Baby wassup?
(So sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet)
Baby wassup?
(So sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet)
Baby wassup?
(So sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet)
Baby, even if I'm a little clumsy, again
Baby wassup?
So sweet like cream
I ain't gotta sleep, you already my dream
You're candy in my ears
If you listen you'll melt
That you like, like, like me
So sweet like cream
I ain't gotta sleep, you already my dream
Can't hide it even if I try, it's obvious
If you already know, hurry up and
Tell me that you like me
(Yeah you really)
You walked in my life like you own it
I'm hooked, I can't breathe
Without a warning, on my heart you knockin'
You got it, you got it, you got it, you got it bad
You really got it bad
You really got it like that, like that, like that
Even if I'm a little clumsy, again
Baby wassup?
(So sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet)
Baby wassup?
(So sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet)
Baby wassup?
(So sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet)
Baby, even if I'm a little clumsy, again
Baby wassup?
Baby wassup?
Baby wassup?
Even if I'm a little clumsy, again
Baby wassup?
OK, OK, OK, OK
Baby when you're walking towards me from afar
Even if I try to act like it's nothing,
I can't stop stealing glances
These feelings are a first for me
What is this feeling?
OK, OK, OK, OK
Because of the nerves, I'm thirsty
I awkwardly say hi to you
OK, OK, OK, OK
Helpful Context (Album Summary): Where 'NO LABELS: PART 01' challenged the labels placed upon Yeonjun, 'NO LABELS: PART 02' reveals the person who exists beyond them. Across six tracks, the album gradually moves from Yeonjun's interactions with others toward his relationship with himself, revealing how every connection and experience becomes part of the person he is still becoming. It embraces the contrasts within him: playfulness and restraint, vulnerability and self-possession, tenderness and ambition, the performer he projects and the person he is behind the spotlight - showing that these sides coexist rather than contradict. Rather than presenting a finished version of himself, the album captures Yeonjun in the ongoing process of understanding and accepting who he is, including the parts of himself he is still learning to embrace. What it ultimately proves is that self-definition was never about isolation: it is about choosing, on his own terms, what and who becomes part of his story.
Help Context (No Labels Series Summary): The 'NO LABELS' series is Yeonjun’s journey of breaking away from every expectation placed upon him and discovering himself beyond a single image. Rather than defining who he is through one concept, one personality, or one role, the series explores the many different versions of Yeonjun that coexist within him - the artist, the performer, the person, and everything in between. Together, both parts create the complete meaning of 'NO LABELS.' The series does not attempt to introduce one final definition of Yeonjun; instead, it proves that he cannot be captured by one adjective or one idea. His confidence and softness, his strength and sensitivity, his stage persona and his everyday self all exist simultaneously. The message is simple: Yeonjun is Yeonjun. His identity does not need to be explained through a label - it only needs to be experienced as it is.
