STEP BACK …but how it should have been (Korean-English Rewrite)
I’m not mad at the song per say. The “I’ll fight a bitch for my man” isn’t necessarily a bad trope because it’s about jealousy and claiming that the message is wrong would just be equivalent to agreeing to the double standard that when male idols sing songs about being jealous it’s hot but when girls do it it’s problematic (which it isn’t) …but for a girl group literally called ‘Girls on Top’ it’s just a little mind boggling. SM ??? What are you doing???
So I decided to take matters into my own hands. This is not intended to be anti-men, it’s loosely based on real life experiences and also i just watched gone girl again so i might just have been extra passionate when i wrote the replacement lyrics. I tried to keep the maximum amount of original lyrics possible that were genderless/fit the new concept but i’m not Korean so I have no idea if the flow makes sense.

✶ LYRICS
You must step back
eodil eodil bwa
neo gamhi nugurago nal jikyeo
ijjeumeseo mulleonago ip danneun ge joeul geol
anim eodi hanbeon gieo ollawa bodeonga
If you run the world,
That’s on me
Such a cruel joke but
How funny
You want me prettier, skinnier, cool girl, perfect harmony
Take a look in the mirror, who is telling me ?
Now you wanna get onto my level (Level)
Boy, you can’t dream about this level (Level)
I’m the kind of girl who’s next level (Level)
bosidasipi, another level
Don’t bring it to me
kkeojyeo jwo
nae geoeseo son tte neo
(Step back, step back)
dasi taeeonado andwael geol
(Step back, step back)
You’re like poison to the soul
Your ego out of control
From the power that you stole
I’m sick and tired everyday
neomji mara, borderline
(Step back, step back)
nega bibil gosi aniya
(Step back, step back)
If you think you stand a chance
I’ll be everything you can’t, your time is up
I’m sick and tired everyday
Ayy, worry bout you silly, bet you think you’re tough
Go ahead, call me crazy bitch, you better watch my temper
geureogeona malgeona sesangeun neo real ppaego doraga, doraga
You gotta get a good mind
Are you looking for fun?
Are you looking for me?
Pretty smile, little blush
Entertainment for free
gonghaesangui bomulseoneul bogirado han deut
mak deuridae
You’re playing with fire
Now you wanna get onto my level (Level)
Boy, you can’t dream about this level (Level)
I’m the kind of girl who’s next level (Level)
bosidasipi, another level
Don’t bring it to me
kkeojyeo jwo
nae geoeseo son tte neo
(Step back, step back)
dasi taeeonado andwael geol
(Step back, step back)
You’re like poison to the soul
Your ego out of control
From the power that you stole
I’m sick and tired everyday
neomji mara, borderline
(Step back, step back)
nega bibil gosi aniya
(Step back, step back)
If you think you stand a chance
I’ll be everything you can’t, your time is up
I’m sick and tired everyday
Good luck if you’re trying to seduce me, I’m not
So easygoing a sweet girl
I will not be silenced, yeah
Respect is something we all deserve, do I ask too much?
ije geuman kkeojyeo
doraga ne segye
dasineun chakgageun malgo
namjadeul da ttokgata

Girls, bring it on
Step back, step back, step back, silly boy
The only girl who live in a dream
Step back, step back, step back, silly boy
nae apeseo jom bikyeo jwo, yeah
Don’t bring it to me
kkeojyeo jwo
nae geoeseo son tte neo
(Step back, step back)

You’re like poison to the soul
Your ego out of control
From the power that you stole
I’m sick and tired everyday

If you think you stand a chance
I’ll be everything you can’t, your time is up
I’m sick and tired everyday
