[있지 "Imaginary Friend" 가사]
[Verse 1: Lia, Yuna]
Who am I? The revolution
환상 속에 태어나
새롭게 깨어난 your illusion
Oh, 너의 상상 속에 존재해
네 꿈들도 현실이 되게
숨결마저 함께해
Who am I? 믿을 수 있니?
Oh, I'm a fallen angel and I said
[Pre-Chorus: Chaeryeong & Ryujin, Yeji & Yuna]
Call out my name in the middle of the night
왜? 두려워 마, call out my name, yeah
Call out my name in the middle of the night
왜? 두려워 마
[Chorus: Ryujin, Lia, Chaeryeong, Yeji, *Yuna*]
You know, I'm your imaginary friend
You know, I'm 너의 밤이 되어줄게
When there's monsters on your ceiling
I'll keep you safe and 꿈을 꿀 수 있게
You know, I'm your imaginary friend
*You know, I'm, it's you and I until the end*
[Verse 2: Chaeryeong, Yeji, Ryujin, Lia]
Who am I? The evolution
상상 속에 자라난
다른 색의 hallucination
Oh, 너의 기억 안에 존재해
Come on and dance, dance and don't stop, 작은 나의 lucky spark
네게 힘이 될 거야 (Ah-ah-ah-ah)
너와 나 함께야, can't stop thinking about our vibe
이제야 we can run and I'm killing it to the top, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Chaeryeong & Yuna, Lia & Ryujin]
Call out my name in the middle of the night
왜? 두려워 마, call out my name, yeah
Call out my name in the middle of the night
왜? 두려워 마
[Chorus: Yeji, Chaeryeong, Lia, Yuna, *Ryujin*]
You know, I'm your imaginary friend
You know, I'm 너의 밤이 되어줄게
When there's monsters on your ceiling
I'll keep you safe and 꿈을 꿀 수 있게
You know, I'm your imaginary friend
*You know, I'm, it's you and I until the end*

LIA:
“Imaginary Friend” is about an imaginary friend I can rely on when I have a hard time. But we didn’t mention whether this friend is good or bad for listeners to interpret it.

RYUJIN:
I believed that compared to all the music videos we’ve filmed, “Imaginary Friend” was filmed completely differently. We tried adding a chilling element to it, so if you watch it in that perspective, it’d feel new and refreshing.
