Lyrics of BTS “IDOL” in English
You can call me artist
You can call me idol
No matter what you call me
I don’t care
I’m proud of it
I’m free
No more irony
Cuz I was always just me
They point fingers at me
But I don’t care at all
Whatever the reason for your criticism is
I know what I am
I know what I want
I never gonna change
I never gonna trade
Keep on chit-chatting, saying this and that
(Talkin talkin talkin)
I do what I do, so you do you
You can’t stop me lovin’ myself
(Ursoo it’s awesome)
You can’t stop me lovin’ myself
(Hooray it’s so awesome)
You can’t stop me lovin’ myself
OHOHOHOH

FACE OFF, just like John Woo, ay
Top star with that spotlight, ay
Sometimes become a superhero
Spin it your Anpanman
24 hours isn’t much
Confusedness, for me it’s a luxury
I do my thang
I love myself
I love myself, I love my fans
Love my dance and my what
There are tens and hundreds of myself in me
I welcome another me today
After all, all of them is me
I just go at it rather than to sit on it
Runnin’ man
Runnin’ man
Runnin’ man
What you keep babbling about
Talkin talkin talkin
I do what I do, so mind your own business
You can’t stop me loving myself
(Ursoo, It’s Awesome)
You can’t stop me lovin’ myself
(Hooray it’s so awesome)
You can’t stop me lovin’ myself

I’m so fine wherever I go
Sometimes I find the longest way to go around
It’s okay, I’m in love with my-my myself
It’s okay, I’m happy in this moment
