NewJeans is the group everyone is talking about. Their debut single, “Attention,” which dropped on July 21, quickly grew popular with fans on TikTok where many are performing the music video’s choreograph. To further promote their new single, NewJeans uploaded a YouTube video on Aug. 25 that showed their reaction to watching the music video. Honestly, it’s the cutest thing ever.

The youTube video was recorded just hours before New Jeans debuted the MV to the rest of the world on July 21. In the YouTube clip, members — MINJI, DANIELLE, HAERIN, HANNI, and HYEIN — are huddled together to watch their MV from a phone. While watching it for the first time, the girls reminisced over filming their scenes together. Specifically, they couldn’t believe they were about to make big debut soon and wondered how fans would react to their single.

Now that it’s been weeks since the release of the “Attention” and their NewJeans EP, it’s safe to say the group has a bright future ahead of them. I mean, NewJeans has already made history. According to Soompi, their EP garnered the highest first-week sales for any girl group’s debut album in Hanteo Chart history.

If you’re wondering what’s the meaning behind “Attention,” just look at their lyrics. The single is all about having a crush on someone. “You and me, my feeling’s plain to see,” NewJeans sings during the first verse. The group sings that they always want to be near their crush and grab their attention so they can see they’re meant to be. “Can’t you see it’s me ?/ Looking for attention / (It’s) gotta be you,” they sing.

In the chorus, NewJeans hopes their crush will “drop the question” and ask them out on a date. If you love the love song as much as me, then check out the lyrics to “Attention” below, via Genius.

Verse 1

You and me, my feeling’s plain to see

So focus

Wanna be nice and close

You see

You see, ayy, ayy, ayy, ayy

One, two, three, I’m brave enough to see

Think you know it already

Now, if you turn then, you can see

It’s me

You see

Can’t you see it’s me?

Looking for attention (It’s) gotta be you

Why you askin’ who you gotta come to

Pre-Chorus

Stop, ayy

Drop the question

Drop the, drop the question

Want attention

Wanna want attention

You give me butterflies, you know

My heart has gone to paradise

Don’t wanna wake up from this dream

Chorus

You got me looking for attention

You got me looking for attention

Got me confused but

One thing’s for sure, I know you’re the one

Got me confusеd but

One thing’s for sure, I know you’re thе one

Got me looking for attention

Verse 2

I’ll run into you like serendipity

Or pass you by like it’s nothing

You’re so fine

Gotta gotta get to know ya

Come with me, I got time for ya

If you turn around, then

I need ya, need ya, need ya

To look at me back

Hey, you already knew?

Look at you, and my heart jumps out of my chest

I’m looking for candy, baby (baby)

I’m feeling fluttery, breezy

Pre-Chorus

Ayy, drop the question

Drop the, drop the question

Want attention

Wanna want attention

You give me butterflies, you know

My heart has gone to paradise

Don’t wanna wake up from this dream

Chorus

You got me looking for attention

You got me looking for attention

Got me confused but

One thing’s for sure, I know you’re the one

Got me confused but

One thing’s for sure, I know you’re the one

Got me confused but

One thing’s for sure, I know you’re the one

Got me looking for attention

You got me looking for attention

You got me looking for attention

Got me confused but

One thing’s for sure, I know you’re the one

You got me looking for attention
