Song Ji Eun, “Going Crazy”

Secret’s main vocalist Song Ji Eun has released her first solo digital single, “Going Crazy,” and I am so psyched for Song Ji Eun’s solo debut! Composed by renowned Korean songwriter Kang Ji Won and produced by equally respected producer Kim Ki Bum, “Going Crazy” features the distinctive husky voice of new TS Entertainment rapper Bang Yong Guk.

“Going Crazy” employs a powerful chorus and Bang Yong Guk’s voice to full effect, taking Ji Eun’s naturally sweet vocal and infusing it with an edge that we hadn’t heard in all previous Secret recordings. The “Going Crazy” MV features Korean actress Min Hyo Rin, who also featured prominently in F.T. Island’s “A Man’s First Love Will Follow Him to The Grave,” in a somewhat disturbing video that shows her driving to a far-away, isolated location, with not-so-pure intentions.

According to several websites, including Korea.com’s entry here, Song Jieun’s Going Crazy has actually topped several online charts, including Daum’s real-time chart, for digital sales. I’m not surprised! The quality of Going Crazy‘s English lyrics is quite high; I thought this kind of disturbed love affair-type situation wasn’t something usually delved into by cultures other than the United States, so this is interesting.

GOING CRAZY lyrics
Song Ji Eun featuring Bang Yong Guk
English translation: Daum Communications

Ji Eun:
It’s not love
This isn’t love
It’s just your obsession
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
It’s frightening
You who watches me

BYG:
I follow you in your shadow
I make a phone call
I become thrilled at the sound of your shaking breath
My heart runs after your increasingly quick steps
I think I’ll go crazy
The long night gets darker
Under the dead street lamp in front of your house
I’m watching you through the crack in your window
Until the night ends
Come on and find me
You keep playing a suffocating game of hide-and-seek with me
You
You
You
You’re inseparable from me

Ji Eun:
Have you gone crazy?
Why are you like this?
Please just leave me alone now
Seeing you is suffocating
Please disappear from my sight

BYG:
You can never break away from me
You have no one to love but me
Try to escape
Wherever you are
I can see you
You know deeply
You can never break away from me
You have no one to love but me
Look at me now
I don’t wanna cry no more more

Ji Eun:
Get lost
Just back off
I really can’t breathe
Wherever I go
Wherever I am
It’s frightening
You who follows me

BYG:
A hundred times
Tens of thousands of times
I’ve called you
But why, why is there no answer?
Did you forget
It’s already been a thousand days since we met
I’ve prepared a gift you’d like
I sit on the street you frequently travel
I’m waiting for you
I know my love
Don’t call it obsession
You don’t know love
You don’t know my heart
You you you
You can never be separated from me

Ji Eun:
Have you gone crazy?
Why are you like this?
Please just leave me alone now
Seeing you is suffocating
Please disappear from my sight

BYG:
You know you want me too
You know you love me
Don’t run away from me

Ji Eun:
Cut the crap
Get a hold of yourself and stop it
Let go of me now

This ain’t right
This isn’t love
This just hurts me
Don’t be like this
I loved you
But I don’t now
Erase me from your memory

I don’t wanna cry no more more
