[Intro: E:U]
EVERGLOW
[Verse 1: Mia, Aisha, Yiren, Onda]
어두운 밤을 두려워했지 (Ah, yeah, yeah)
너도 몰래 숨어버렸지 (Ah, yeah, yeah)
No one say happy ending
숨죽이고 도망 다니지 (Ah, yeah, yeah)
(Here we go, here we go like)
Knock, knock, there's a monster
점점 커져 네 안의 black hole, when you back, uh?
너를 삼킨 howler 그게 바로 killer
겁내지 마 손을 잡아봐
[Pre-Chorus: Sihyeon, Yiren]
지나간 과거
너를 두렵게 해
But know your power
최후의 be first
[Chorus: All, Mia, Yiren, E:U]
You know that I come first
I'm the winner, winner, winner
그래 마지막 선율
너를 구할 구할 구할 (So don't keep)
[Post-Chorus: Sihyeon, Yiren, Mia, E:U, *Onda*]
이 세상 어디도 빛은 없단
거짓에 속지는 말아줘 우리 함께 (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
본 적 없는 꿈을 꿀 거야 (*나나나나*)
본 적 없는 꿈을 꿀 거야
[Verse 2: Aisha, E:U, Mia, Yiren, *Onda*]
(Ya) 넘어져도 돼 (Stand up)
그건 바로 너 (Hands up)
Faster, stronger, better, gotta be the best
밤과 아침 경계 그 사이 대충 새벽 다섯 시 반
총성 없는 전쟁은 숨을 조여와 이건 foul
거짓 어둠 진실 환희
Fantasy 내 촛불이 널
새벽의 멜로디 불꽃처럼 터져
*겁내지 마 손을 잡아봐*
[Pre-Chorus: Sihyeon, Yiren]
지나간 과거
너를 두렵게 해
But know your power
최후의 be first
[Chorus: All, Mia, Yiren, E:U]
You know that I come first
I'm thе winner, winner, winner
그래 마지막 선율 (Oh, oh, yеah)
너를 구할 구할 구할 (So don't keep)
[Post-Chorus: Sihyeon, Aisha, E:U]
이 세상 어디도 빛은 없단
거짓에 속지는 말아줘 우리 함께 (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
본 적 없는 꿈을 꿀 거야
[Bridge: Mia, Sihyeon, E:U, Onda]
막힌 벽을 부숴 난 선을 넘어
움츠리지 않아 난 뛰어넘어
One step, you got me now, got me now
Two step, don't slow it down, slow it down
너를 찾아오는 하늘을 향해 shout
희망이란 열쇠를 잡아 (Ayy)
[Chorus: All, Mia, Yiren, E:U]
You know that I come first (First)
I'm the winner, winner, winner (나나나나나)
그래 마지막 선율 (나나나나나; Oh, fade away)
너를 구할 구할 구할 (나나나나나) (So don't keep)
[Post-Chorus: Sihyeon, Onda, Yiren, E:U]
이 세상 어디도 빛은 없단 (Oh no)
거짓에 속지는 말아줘 우리 함께 (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
보여줄게 본 적 없는 first
들려줄게 본 적 없는 first (Hey, yeah-eh)
알려줄게 본 적 없는 first

We really wanted to come back strong and not give something that was in-between or bland. So, for this comeback, we wanted a strong performance and strong expressions. We gave all that we could give, and that’s very much the EVERGLOW way. […] Aesthetically, [“FIRST”] is a mix of dark and light. Mia...
Our title track “FIRST” is a song that contains a confident message about facing the darkness and open the beginning of a new world in search of the light of hope. It is a song that captivates both eyes and ears with its powerful melody and our performance.
