English Translation

Step it up now, oh oh oh
Lalalalalalalalalala
Lalalalalalalalalala
I won’t fall anymore, goodbye sadness
I won’t get close anymore, goodbye tears
It’s believing in yourself, no more sighs
Such trivial worries, with a smile, bye bye
{Hook}
I learned one more time
I will never forget about you, yeah
I grew, stronger and higher
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

{Chorus}
Step it up, step it up, it’s the beginning again
I’m going to outrun by speeding up my tempo again
Just step it up, step it up, for everyone to see
Turn up the volume baby, my bebe
Lalalalalala lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalala lalalalalalalala

{Verse 2}
Tomorrow is going to be new, have high expectations
That’s the fun of living, throw your worries away
Everyone is probably the same, I won't be discouraged
Such little worries, with a smile, bye bye
I’m stronger and higher
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah

{Chorus}
Step it up, step it up, it’s the beginning again
I’m going to outrun by speeding up my tempo again
Just step it up, step it up, for everyone to see
Turn up the volume baby, my bebe
Lalalalalala lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalala lalalalalalalala

{Verse 3}
In my life, I rashly get louder
You think I did it for myself? for myself?
One two, one two step, everyone on the beat
Don’t be scared, no, don’t cry, let’s do it altogether
Why are you thinking of useless other things, dizzily?
Don’t do that, let’s all just step it up now
I won’t turn back
Time is too short to even just look forward

{Chorus}
Step it up, step it up, it’s the beginning again
I’m going to outrun by speeding up my tempo again
Just step it up, step it up, for everyone to see
Turn up the volume baby, my bebe
Lalalalalala lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalala lalalalalalalala
Step it up, step it up (Why rashly get louder)
Speed up the tempo again (You think I did it for no reason?)
Just step it up, step it up, for everyone to see
Turn the volume up baby, my bebe
Lalalalalala lalalalalalalala
Lalalalalala lalalalalalalala

KARA

KARA (카라) was a South Korean pop girl group formed by DSP Media in 2007, and disbanded in 2016. It was composed Gyuri, Hara, Jiyoung, Seungyeon, Nicole, Sunghee, and Youngji.

The group name comes from the Greek word χαρά (chara), meaning “joy,” which the group members interpreted as “sweet melody”.

KARA’s fandom name was Kamilia, combining “KARA” and “familia” (meaning family), which symbolized that the group’s fans were their families.
