ONEW - Tough Love
Album: Tough Love
Rilis: 09/03/2026

Lagu ini mengusung tema "Tough Love" atau kasih sayang yang ditunjukkan melalui ketegasan dan kejujuran yang pahit demi kebaikan orang tersebut. Liriknya merupakan pesan penyemangat bagi seseorang yang sedang merasa terpuruk atau kehilangan jati dirinya (menjadi "bayang-bayang" diri sendiri). Sang penulis lagu menekankan bahwa meskipun proses pendewasaan dan perjuangan melawan dunia itu menyakitkan, hal tersebut perlu dilakukan agar seseorang bisa mencapai potensi maksimalnya. Ini adalah lagu tentang dorongan untuk bangkit, menghancurkan batasan diri ("dinding kaca"), dan menyadari bahwa setiap individu memiliki kilau istimewa yang berharga seperti permata.

Tough love
상처받겠지만 좀 더 참아 줘 너를 위해
날 서 있는 이 세상 이겨내야 해
한계를 넘어선 순간 날 수 있게
Don't you know it hurts like hell
To see you be your shadow of yourself

Jump in jump in 세상 끝까지
Dive in dive in 두려움 없이
I know you got something so special
Won't stop 'till you reach your potential
Chase it chase it 네 안의 떨림
Make it break it 유리벽 따윈
I know you got something so special
Won't stop 'till you reach your potential
Potential

Truth hurts
너의 가치는 어느 보석보다 더 환히 빛나
끌어내 줄게 but you need honesty
That's my policy
I need you to be realised
Don't you know it hurts like hell
To see you be your shadow of yourself

Jump in jump in 세상 끝까지
Dive in dive in 두려움 없이
I know you got something so special
Won't stop 'till you reach your potential
Chase it chase it 네 안의 떨림
Make it break it 유리 벽 따윈
I know you got something so special
Won't stop 'till you reach your potential
Potential Potential

네가 가진 특별함을
온 세상이 기다려

Cinta yang tegas
Mungkin akan menyakitkan, tapi bertahanlah sedikit lagi demi dirimu
Kau harus menaklukkan dunia yang tajam ini
Agar kau bisa terbang saat melampaui batasanmu
Tidakkah kau tahu rasanya sakit sekali
Melihatmu hanya menjadi bayang-bayang dari dirimu yang sebenarnya

Melompatlah, melompatlah hingga ujung dunia
Menyelamlah, menyelamlah tanpa rasa takut
Aku tahu kau memiliki sesuatu yang sangat istimewa
Takkan berhenti sampai kau mencapai potensimu
Kejarlah, kejarlah getaran di dalam dirimu
Wujudkanlah, hancurkanlah dinding kaca itu
Aku tahu kau memiliki sesuatu yang sangat istimewa
Takkan berhenti sampai kau mencapai potensimu
Potensi
Potensi

Kebenaran itu menyakitkan
Nilai dirimu bersinar lebih terang dari permata mana pun
Akan kutarik kau keluar, tapi kau butuh kejujuran
Itulah prinsipku
Aku ingin kau menyadarinya
Tidakkah kau tahu rasanya sakit sekali
Melihatmu hanya menjadi bayang-bayang dari dirimu yang sebenarnya

Melompatlah, melompatlah hingga ujung dunia
Menyelamlah, menyelamlah tanpa rasa takut
Aku tahu kau memiliki sesuatu yang sangat istimewa
Takkan berhenti sampai kau mencapai potensimu
Kejarlah, kejarlah getaran di dalam dirimu
Wujudkanlah, hancurkanlah dinding kaca itu
Aku tahu kau memiliki sesuatu yang sangat istimewa
Takkan berhenti sampai kau mencapai potensimu
Potensi Potensi

Keistimewaan yang kau miliki
Seluruh dunia sedang menantikannya
    

Tough love
It will hurt, but bear with it a little longer for your sake
You must overcome this sharp-edged world
So you can fly the moment you surpass your limits
Don't you know it hurts like hell
To see you be your shadow of yourself

Jump in jump in to the ends of the earth
Dive in dive in without any fear
I know you got something so special
Won't stop 'till you reach your potential
Chase it chase it the trembling inside you
Make it break it those glass walls and such
I know you got something so special
Won't stop 'till you reach your potential
Potential

Truth hurts
Your value shines brighter than any jewel
I will pull it out of you but you need honesty
That's my policy
I need you to be realised
Don't you know it hurts like hell
To see you be your shadow of yourself

Jump in jump in to the ends of the earth
Dive in dive in without any fear
I know you got something so special
Won't stop 'till you reach your potential
Chase it chase it the trembling inside you
Make it break it those glass walls and such
I know you got something so special
Won't stop 'till you reach your potential
Potential Potential

The uniqueness that you possess
The whole world is waiting for it
