“naneun naigo sipeo” 나는 나이고 싶어
"나는 나이고 싶어" means "I want to be me" — the plainest possible statement of self, and the thesis of the whole song about resisting others' expectations. ITZY built their early identity around this "be yourself" message of self-confidence. "Wannabe" was the lead single from their EP It'z Me, released March 9, 2020, written and produced by Galactika, and it debuted at #4 on the US World Digital Song Sales chart (Wikipedia).
