He is mine
I’m the only thing on his mind
He thinks about me all the time
He got my love everywhere
Nobody treats him like I do
There’s no party if I’m not in the booth
My song keeps in heart in tune
like ba-da-da-da-dam-dam
He loves me and I love him too
He plays me all the night through
He keeps me spinning and grinning
I’m grining all over from you singing la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Everyday la-la-la-la-la-la-la
He sings with me la-la-la-la-la-la-la
He knows me, he holds me from intro to fade
1-2-3-4
Chorus 1
Cause the DJ is mine
And girl you’re wasting your time
He only rocks to my music
He loves the way I do it all night~
The DJ is mine
~My baby, m-my baby baby~
The DJ is mine
~My baby, m-my baby baby~
He only rocks to my music
He loves the way I do it all night
The DJ is mine
Girl please, don’t you even try
My baby, keeps me by his side
Even though you keep giving him the eye
He don’t even notice
Everyday la-la-la-la-la-la-la
He sings with me la-la-la-la-la-la-la
He knows me, he holds me from intro to fade
Chorus 2
1-2-3-4
Cause the DJ is mine
And girl you’re wasting your time
He only rocks to my music
He loves the way I do it all night~

Cause the DJ is mine
And girl you’re wasting your time
He only rocks to my music
He loves the way I do it all night~
The DJ is~
Rap 1
I’m what he’s listening to
I’m blasting through his headphones
It’s me he falling in love with
Yeah I got his head gone
He can’t even answer the phone
My music keeps turning him on
Uh-on and on, uh-uh-on and on and on
Rap 2
He say, she say – I say I own the DJ
Stay at the top of his charts I am the airplay
Flier than airplanes
I know you hear me
In case you didn’t, let me reiterate
Let me re- let me re- let me reiterate
He is mine
I’m the only thing on his mind
He thinks about me all the time
He got my love everywhere
Chorus 3
1-2-3-4
Cause the DJ is mine
And girl you’re wasting your time
He only rocks to my music
He loves the way I do it all night~

And girl you’re wasting your time
He only rocks to my music
He loves the way I do it all night~

He only rocks to my music
He loves the way I do it all night

I transcribed these lyrics myself so if you take them for your site or blog, please give me a link back to my blog! That’s all I ask! I think the lyrics are pretty accurate – the only bit I’m not too sure is Sohee’s ‘spinning and grinning, I’m grinning~’ part but everything else is spot on! (including the tricky ‘intro to fade~’ bit – that was harder to hear!).
What do you think? I really love the song! Wonder Girls are really doing great things at the moment.
I know I haven’t posted in what seems like forever… I’m so busy with work that I don’t have too much time to devote to the blog anymore but I still love it! And love you for taking the time read it.
So I know I’m out by a couple of days but I wanted to quickly recap my favourite Korean songs of 2011. This year there has been some fantastic comebacks, some brilliant debuts and all kinds of amazing music. I definitely think 2011 was a vintage year for K-pop. My personal highlight has been the resurgence of the girl idol groups and, what I’ll refer to it as, the Winter Battle of the Girl Groups (narf!).
So, without further ado – here are my favourite songs from 2011 (in a rough kind of order).
T-ara – Roly Poly
For those that read this blog, you will know that T-ara are my favourite band. I’m a little sad that they don’t seem to have such a big fan base outside of Korea. The girls came back stronger than ever in 2011 with the release of their smash-hit, Roly Poly. Featuring a retro concept and disco beats – the song captured number one on many charts and has even become one of the biggest hits of the year.
The Roly Poly MV also marked the first in the lineof 10 minute+ MVs from the girls. The song was so popular that they’ve made a musical based around it! Their remix version, Roly Poly in Copacabana also proved to be hit. To date, Roly Poly is my third most played song of all time (behind Utada Hikaru’s Show Me Love and Adele’s Set Fire to the Rain; in fact if you combine plays with the remix it is my most listened to song).
Wonder Girls – Be My Baby
In the midst of the girl group comebacks, Wonder Girls returned with a hot new hit, Be My Baby. Featuring an MV similar to Beyonce’s Single Ladies, catchy choreography and a funky melody you’d think they were destined to hit the top spot, right? But there doubts. I had such doubts!
The girls had been away for what seemed like ages. Yes, they came back with 2 Different Tears in 2010 but it has been a couple of years since Nobody – their last fully promoted single in Korea. 2 years in pop music can be a lifetime. So many new groups had debuted in that time, and with the Girls away in America working on cracking the USA, some thought they might not do so well.
However, these fears were soon put to rest as they debuted on Korean music shows and started winning awards and much love from fans. I love the Wonder Girls – they are my joint second favourite group after T-ara.
Girls’ Generation – The Boys
Girls’ Generation cemented their place as the dominate girl group with the release of The Boys, their first international single (complete with a full English version). Whilst the song didn’t have as much impact on international charts it was a massive hit in Korea and continues to chart well.
KARA – Step
After setting the Oricon charts alight with their Japanese promotions, all eyes were on KARA as they made their Korean comeback. I love KARA – I love that they have a very distinct sound, I describe it as having a driving beat – their songs are easily identifiable with the strong percussion and focus on rousing choruses. I love them! In fact, Step, Mister and Honey are all some of my favourite songs.
2011 may have seen their Japanese promotions skyrocket but their Korean career looked like it may collapse at any minute. The beginning of the year saw much of the band embroiled in a heated contract controversy that saw a large backlash against the band.
However, the girls returned with much fanfare and their single, Step, went on to be a huge hit and one of my favourite songs of the year.
Trouble Maker – Trouble Maker
A late entry from Hyuna (4Minute) and Hyunseung (BEAST) – label mates of Cube Entertainment. Joining together to create one of the catchiest singles of 2011!
Davichi continue promotions of their hit new song, Don’t Say Goodbye. The girls continue to show their amazing vocals with their live performances. Check out their performance below:
T-ara are making a come back in October with a new mini-album. This time however, Core Contents Media are going to play with the big boys. Whilst Core Contents Media are one of the leading entertainment companies, they are not yet in the same realm of SM Entertainment, YG Entertainment and JYP Entertainment. This is because October also sees the comeback of Wonder Girls, SNSD and G Dragon.
October is heating up to be a huge chart battle – who do you think will win? T-ara’s new mini album will be called Black Eyes. The question on my mind though is will there be a new leader? The current members who aren’t leaders are Soyeon (yay <3), Jiyeon, Qri and Hwayoung. It's unlikely that Jiyeon or Hwayoung would be leader being maknaes but, Jiyeon is arguably the most popular member yet to be a leader. I want Seoyeon to be leader ^_^
In the mean time, why not check out T-ara's Roly Poly Copacabana Remix! Either way, good luck T-ara! T-ara Fighting!
To celebrate KARA’s new single, STEP, Mnet recently revealed a behind the scenes video of KARA making the new MV for STEP. I think it’s clear that the girls are having loads of fun with this song and are putting their difficult times behind them. KARA hwaiting!
Instiz has just released their chart for the first week of September and the lovely ladies of Davichi win! They rank number 1 for their hit new song, Don’t Say Goodbye. Congratulations to Davichi, their new single is definitely a perfect song for September.
It looks like they will lose their number 1 ranking next week to KARA though. KARA is currently number 1 on the chart with 84 points to Davichi’s 81 – so close!
Check out Davichi’s MV for Don’t Say Goodbye below and KARA’s STEP – which song do you prefer? Autumn is definitely heating up to be a battle of the girl groups.

The lovely ladies of KARA are back with a hot new song – STEP! After tearing up the radio waves in Japan for the past few months, and becoming one of the breakout success stories of Hallyu, Nicole, Gyuri, Hara, Seungyeon and Jiyoung are back with an infectious new song!
STEP reminds me of Mister (one of my favourite songs ever) and has the same catchy beat and cute vocals that we love KARA for. It’s definitely clear the girls are putting a rough year behind them and focusing on the future – they are definitely back and will no doubt have a huge hit on their hands. KARA hwaiting! Is that ALL KILL and Triple Crown I hear knocking on the door? ^_^;
