ABOUT/MEANING: 'Ice Cream' explores a relationship built on sweetness, attraction, and careful pacing. Using its namesake as a metaphor, the song captures the balance between wanting to get closer and knowing some things are best enjoyed slowly - get too close to the heat and they melt away, move too fast and they leave you overwhelmed, like a brain freeze. The connection it portrays is playful yet self-aware, with two people choosing to protect what they have by respecting each other's boundaries. Rather than rushing or placing unnecessary pressure on the relationship, they embrace the present, showing that sometimes the sweetest connections are the ones that know exactly how to preserve themselves. In doing so, the song suggests that genuine connection grows not through urgency, but through mutual understanding and trust.
LYRICS - ENGLISH TRANSLATION
YJ
Ice, ice
Girl, I want you to understand (Ooh)
The masterplan between you and me (Ooh)
Get sweet, now taste it, one bite and be like "That's it"
Nice and clean distancing, never let the cream drip
Oh, girl, too hot
Cool off your heart
Ice cream
If you rush it down, it'll make you sick
I scream
Head pounding, brain freeze
Ice cream
Once it's on fire, it'll melt away
Ice cream
Keep it cool enough
That's rule number one
Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun
No need to get serious, nah, nah, nah
Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun
Let's just enjoy it, chow down, down
Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun
No need to get serious, nah, nah, nah
Coolin' off, coolin' off, coolin' off
Let's just enjoy it, chow down, down
Not too close, not too far away
Let's keep it kinda vague
I'm tired of all the petty fights
I don't want no more stress
When we're apart, keep it cool
When we're together, keep it romantic
As long as we keep this distance
I'll be the ice cream for you
Oh girl, too hot
Cool off your heart
Ice cream
If you rush it down, it'll make you sick
I scream
Head pounding, brain freeze
Ice cream
Once it's on fire, it'll melt away
Ice cream
Keep it cool enough
That's rule number one
Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun
No need to get serious, nah, nah, nah
Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun
Let's just enjoy it, chow down, down
Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun
No need to get serious, nah, nah, nah
Coolin' off, coolin' off, coolin' off
Let's just enjoy it, chow down, down
Coolin' off, coolin' off, make it fun
No need to get serious, nah, nah, nah
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.
