In SHINee’s interview with Forbes, Taemin explained why this song stood out to them and what sets it apart from their past discography:
For us, “Don’t Call Me” was a really strong standout track because we didn’t want to just showcase SHINee’s usual colors and usual style but emphasize the performa...
[샤이니 "Don't Call Me" 가사]
[Intro: All, Key]
I promise to tell the truth
And nothing but the truth
(If you) Don't call me (Check this out ya’ll)
Don't call me
Don't call me (I don't want you back, don’t call me)
Don't call me
Don't call me (I keep saying, next time은 없어 In your life)
Don't call me
Don't call me (Yeeaow)
Don't call (Ayy, ayy, ayy)
[Verse 1: Taemin, Key, Minho]
깊어진 밤 집요하게 벨이 울려 It's your calling
고집스럽고 지독하지 그게 바로 너 Still call
너는 쉽게 포기 못해 그 성질 버리지 못해
온종일 내 이름만 서치해 내 흔적들을 찾아 핥아 대
내 아침을 망치곤 해 그 패턴은 뻔해 관심 꺼줄래
I know where you came from
한때는 나의 Shawty 사라져 줄래 저리
Don't think about calling
[Refrain: Onew, Taemin]
넌 못 버티겠지 집착뿐이겠지
나처럼 잘한 사람 없을 거니까
너도 참 피곤했지 전부 꾸며대니
머릿속 꽤나 어지러웠을거야
[Pre-Chorus: All, Taemin, Minho]
Don't call me (미쳤어 넌)
Don't call me
Don't call me (You don't know you waste my time)
Don't call me
Don't call me (느껴봐 넌 최악이야)
Don't call me
Don't call me (Wait I hate your call)
Don't call
[Chorus: All]
끝났어 너의 Love
Don't want it now, ooh
사랑하면 보내줘
Don't want it now, ooh
[Post-Chorus: Key, All]
계속 말하잖아
Next time은 없어 In your life
네 사랑 난 이제 아냐
지워 날 잊어버려 제발
난 널 몰라 So 내게 전화하지 마
[Verse 2: Minho, Taemin, Onew, Key]
Sick of all your trash 진짜 늦었다니까
널 믿지 않아 You know why 날 속였다는 걸 알아
비극은 왜 사랑의 몫인데? 슬픈 에픽 속
그 끝을 보고 있네 넌 못 버티겠지
집착뿐이겠지 나처럼 잘한 사람 없을 거니 Ya
[Pre-Chorus: All, Key, Taemin]
Don't call me (미쳤어 넌)
Don't call me
Don't call me (You don't know you waste my time)
Don't call me
Don't call me (느껴봐 넌 최악이야)
Don't call me
Don't call me (Wait I hatе your call)
Don't call
[Chorus: All]
끝났어 너의 Love (Your love, your love)
Don't want it now, ooh (Don't want it now, no)
사랑하면 보내줘 (So bad, so bad)
Don't want it now, ooh (Don't want it now, no)
[Post-Chorus: Onew, All]
계속 말하잖아
Nеxt time은 없어 In your life
네 사랑 난 이제 아냐
지워 날 잊어버려 제발
난 널 몰라 So 내게 전화하지 마
[Bridge: Onew, Taemin, Key]
아직 허튼 꿈속에서 포기 못 했니
I'll never pick up 지워버렸어
I'm gonna save my love
For the next call
(Sorry the number you have called has been disconnected)
Ooh woah
[Pre-Chorus: All, Minho]
Don't call me (끝났어 Love)
Don't call me
Don't call me (I said I don't want it now)
Don't call me
Don't call me (사랑했다면 보내줘)
Don't call me
Don't call me (Wait I hate your call)
Don't call
[Chorus: Taemin]
난 찾을 거야 Love (Your love, your love)
더 아름다운 (Don't want it now, ooh)
지독했던 너와 나 (So bad, so bad)
잊을 수 있는 (Don't want it now, ooh)
[Post-Chorus: Key, All]
계속 말하잖아
Next time은 없어 In your life
네 사랑 난 이제 아냐
지워 날 잊어버려 제발
난 널 몰라 So 내게 전화하지 마
