[Verse: Rumi, Zoey, Mira, All]
I was a ghost, I was alone
Eoduwojin apgilsoge (Ah)
Given the throne, I didn't know how to believe (Hah)
I was the queen that I'm meant to be (Ah)
I lived two lives, tried to play both sides
But I couldn't find my own place (Oh, oh)
Called a problem child 'cause I got too wild
But now that's how I'm getting paid, kkeuteopsi on stage
[Pre-Chorus: Rumi, All]
I'm done hidin', now I'm shinin'
Like I'm born to be
We dreamin' hard, we came so far
Now I believe
[Chorus: Rumi, All]
We're goin' up, up, up
It's our moment
You know together we're glowing
Gonna be, gonna be goldеn
Oh, up, up, up
With our voices
Yeongwonhi kkaejil su еomneun
Gonna be, gonna be golden
[Post-Chorus: Rumi]
Oh, I'm done hidin' now I'm shinin'
Like I'm born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That's who we're born to be
[Bridge: Rumi]
Waited so long to break these walls down
To wake up and feel like me
Put these patterns all in the past now
And finally live like the girl they all see
No more hiding, I'll be shining
Like I'm born to be
'Cause we are hunters, voices strong
And I know I believe
[Chorus: Rumi, All]
We're goin' up, up, up
It's our moment
You know together we're glowing
Gonna be, gonna be golden
Oh, up, up, up
With our voices
Yeongwonhi kkaejil su eomneun
Gonna be, gonna be golden
[Post-Chorus: Rumi]
Oh, I'm done hidin', now I'm shinin'
Like I'm born to be
Oh, our time, no fears, no lies
That's who we're born to be
[Outro: Rumi, All]
You know we're gonna be, gonna be golden (Oh)
We're gonna be, gonna be (Oh)
Born to be, born to be glowin' (Oh)
Balkge bitnaneun urin
You know that it's our time, no fears, no lies (Oh, oh)
That's who we're born to be
I was a ghost, I was alone
Eoduwojin apgilsoge (Ah)
Given the throne, I didn't know how to believe (Hah)
I was the queen that I'm meant to be (Ah)
I lived two lives, tried to play both sides

Meaning & Explanation
This song is an anthem of self-discovery and empowerment. 'Golden' speaks about shedding a restrictive past – represented by being a "ghost" and living multiple lives – in order to embrace one's true potential and shine brightly. The lyrics emphasize breaking free from societal expectations ("problem child") and claiming one’s power. ‘Going up, up, up’ signifies rising above challenges and achieving success together. It explores themes of self-acceptance, confidence, resilience, and the importance of realizing one's inherent value and talent ('born to be golden'). The repeated phrase 'Let it shine like this' reinforces the message of embracing authenticity and letting your true nature radiate outwards. It’s a celebratory track about overcoming obstacles and stepping into a luminous future.
