2NE1 - I'm The Best [Eng. Sub]

[magiccq91]

This song is basically a song made to get you hype and confident singing "I am the Best" if they meant it strictly for themselves it would be called "We are the Best" or something.

[xbomtori]

@magiccq91 Well, actually their producer usually writes their lyrics with each member in mind for a certain part. Just like he did for the lyrics of UGLY. In this song they are like ''I AM THE BEST...whatever I do so I'm not gonna change who I am'' and in ''UGLY'' they are showing the struggles they went through when just being themselves wasn't good or perfect enough for others, while reaching out for those who feel as an outcast as well ^_^ It's always personal,but at the same time universal.

[Pdubb0818]

2NE1 and their songs are not arrogant, it's confident. There's a difference. Some of you are taking the title too srsly. "I Am The Best" doesn't only apply to 2NE1. It's a msg for listeners to be confident in themselves and be their own best w/o comparing yourself to others. Who cares about other ppl? You are YOU. Don't be shamed & take pride in yourself. If you believe you're the best, then you are. Others opinions are only 2nd to yours. Just rmbr to be respectful. Confidence, not arrogance ;P

[valerialol961]

exactly what I thought! 

[Timmy95ich]

This song's kinda shallow, now that i know the lyrics. But it's catchy, so whatever.

[lmmonteroy]

some people call this cocky? pffttt.... I call this CONFIDENCE.

[SuperKdawg23]

@amigrrl16 well thats what im getting outta these lyrics too

[hanleylinify]

Dislike!!!

[strawberrypanic11]

The "no no no no, na na na na" part means "no no no no me me me me"

You should really add that part.

[figuro001]

@strawberrypanic11 you are right.

na=me

누가 나보다 더 잘 나가?라고 질문 던져놓고 'no no no no. 나 나 나 나'라고 자신이라고 대답하는겁니다.

[PunkGrl199]

@heybyeguy no these lyrics are correct! She is saying kind of a killer ^^

[heybyeguy]

In song lyrics ... kind of killer?????

im a little FABULOUS or im a WONDERFUL suitable

[princesscandy1998]

what's blackjack ??

[makeuplover2012]

@princesscandy1998 That's 2ne1's fan name. So if you LOVE 2ne1 then you're probably considered a blackjack, but its completely up to you, if you want to call yourself that.(:

[princesscandy1998]

@makeuplover2012 ooohhh. ok. :)

[worldpeace32]

Sadly fat and ugly people can't sing this song, seriously, or am I wrong just because I'm fat and ugly

[2NE1CheLyn]

2:38 who? you are better than me? no no no it's me! me! me!

[pimiko101]

I love when they do teh bom bom bom badadadada thing and "im the best" i luv it

[UndeadBiohazard]

If you think about it, they know that their lyrics are sung globally, so maybe that the listeners can feel that they are the best and no one can tell them that they are worse than anybody.

[sanderreynders]

@SayHelloPandaBear no triangles are just really "hip"

[igottarestartthis23]

2NE1 forever!!!!!

[MISSHERO19]

2NE1 are the best!!

[leedonaldt]

i now know how to say "i am the best" in Korean :)

[betthyg]

I love 2ne1 but after reading the lyrics...idk....are they showing off? Do they think they are all bad now? Has fame gotten over their heads? I really hope not!

[Mr019545]

come to the u.s. and get this paper,you are the best.

[kiddmuscle]

@SayHelloPandaBear  thnx :)

[kiddmuscle]

what's with the pyramids in a lot of music lately...?

[missindependant3455]

That's a good-ass song right there!!

[rrcczz]

@KPOP246 stop hating

[KPOP246]

In my opinion I think they played the cocky card too soon in their career.

By the time they reach their peak people are going to be tired of this kind of attitude and it really seems that they're going in the "We're bad ass and better than you, deal with it.' direction. They should have done a song like this later after they built their credit up.

Before people flame me or anything I'm not hating on them, they're actually one of my favorite kpop groups, I'm just stating my thought.

[amigrrl16]

@KPOP246 I think you're missing the point of this song. This is basically a song to the haters. When they talk about "This body is second to none" it's a statement to anyone who says Bom is too curvy. And then some people think Dara is too weird so when she goes "I'll jump on your table I don't care" and then Minzy "I'll pick my freshest oufit" which is about rumors on her mature dressing. Then there's CL who's just too fierce for anyone to handle. ^^ Or maybe I'm reading too much into this :p

[sistahdeah0o]

@amigrrl16 wow, you might be right! :D good one girl!

[xoxo2shy]

@KPOP246 they should be cocky. they didn't play it too soon. look a 4minute...their debut was hot issue. did u call them cocky? how about Wonder Girls with So Hot? 2ne1 can brag because they speak the truth. Just like all those other girl groups. so calm yo tits.

[KPOP246]

@xoxo2shy Well first off, I don't care about 4minute or Wonder Girls. I don't see where they would come up in anything I said; I didn't mention them, those songs are old, so I don't see why you brought them up when clearly this is 2ne1. I was talking about them, no other group. Also I didn't say they couldn't brag. All I said was I THOUGHT they played the cocky card too soon in their career. Thats all. So with you jumping on a comment made 3months ago, I think you need to calm your tits.

[MaeMaeLanese]

@KPOP246 its been 2 yrs since they debuted at least it's a qood sonq just PLEASE enjoy

[KPOP246]

@MaeMaeLanese I do enjoy the song :3 Lol, I never said it sounded bad.

[MaeMaeLanese]

@KPOP246 Lol ok

[MrsKuraudoSutoraifu]

@xoxo2shy In So Hot, WG did stupid things to make fun of girls who think they're so hot. Like Sunmi wanting a ring, & the guys leaving. Then Yenny cheering while another girl takes all the football guys, and then Sohee falling.

[xoxo2shy]

@MrsKuraudoSutoraifu how does that change the meaning of so hot's lyrics?

[MrsKuraudoSutoraifu]

@xoxo2shy I wasn't even talking about the lyrics. The song+the mv was making fun of girls who think they're so hot. What more is there to it??

[xoxo2shy]

@MrsKuraudoSutoraifu I was discussing lyrics not mv's. You came from left field.

[cheddarcheeze]

It's not that they're arrogant, they're trying to encourage youth to think better of themselves, to know that you are YOUR best and no can tell you otherwise.

I dont think teens need anymore songs about mushy love and heartbreak or infatuation. This is the type of lyrics teens need to hear more often.

[nogadateam]

Nega jeil jal na ga~~

[Uhaholic]

Who? You are better than me? NO NO NO NO, NA NA NA NA.

[makeuplover2012]

I don't think they're being conceded. I think the lyrics were made to point out the flaws people make about them like how bom and minzy's fans don't agree on their weight, so their saying this is who I am, don't like it? Well too bad. Well that's just my view of this song.

[hellogurl4101]

they sound conceeded...

[GotRice325]

@hellogurl4101 really? well the song probably sounds like that but they're far from that in real life. (: a lot of haters think they're arrogant but they're really sweet! 2ne1 has a lot of haters and antis, so of course they know what haters think...so i think it keeps them grounded. ^-^

[girlylittleFREAK]

CL is a billion dollar baby! damn agree!!! xD

[xkarraxx]

i dont get how people say they are being arrogant. omggg!! seriouslyy??

they are trying to say that all of us are unique in our own ways and let no one tell u different because you are the BEST!!

[kireisunotenshi]

AHAHAHA Im loving the lyrics I think its just for fun like Wondergirls 'So Hot' they are obviously pointing something out about other people lol LOVE 2NE1

[destined2bebossy]

I don't really take this song as them being arrogant. More like Pretty Girl Rock where its for people in a good mood just havin' fun and cheer them up.

The video now... kinda cocky but their vids usually are soo...

[pamelalee0906]

AWSOME!

[Thetwinize]

If you want Minzy her shoes just google the name: V-CREEPER-507UV Cheetah Fur-UV Lime 2" Platform They are not that expensive 8D

[dDproject8]

Are they selling prata ta ta ta ta ? Is their prata ta ta ta ta taste good?

[vkphils]

[ehehehehe92]

[rocketpowersss]

[Sims3Revolutiion]

ILLUMINATI !!

[AlwaysOriginalForME]

@Sims3Revolutiion  maybe.........but i like this song........im not blind bro

[rocketpowersss]

@Sims3Revolutiion are you saying that because of the triangle..?

[Annaskiess]

@Sims3Revolutiion I knew someone would say illuminati...

[Sims3Revolutiion]

@Annaskiess Why ? :a



[icecreamholic95]

I know that they're from the same company as BigBang but when I listen to their songs it keeps reminding me of BigBang.I mean theyre style too. xD anyways i think that their songs matches them perfectly. I mean theyre just like "f*ck you b*tches, I love being myself. :D" and thats why they stand out. Theyre cocky to their limit only.

[darkhuntress2411]

@icecreamholic95 they were actually formed to be the "female bigbang" and so called as such... =)))

[icecreamholic95]

@darkhuntress2411

Really? I didnt know that. xD i mean i just finally became addicted to them like a couple months ago. xD well thanks! :)

[darkhuntress2411]

@icecreamholic95 welcome! and also welcome to the world of 2ne1 addicts!...yes they're really called the "female bigbang"...but despite of that they came up with very unique qualities as a group and as individuals...that's what i love so much about them...and yes they're very very addicting!!! hihihi... =)))

[icecreamholic95]

@darkhuntress2411

haha thanks. its nice to know that im welcome to the 2Ne1 world of addicts. xD hopefully they will surprise me with the talents. ;D

[gbomluver]

thumps up if you heard the word "bra" in 2ne1's mv again.... :)

[melsDBSK]

I don't think they are arrogant, nor is the song :) it fits them perfectly because they ARE the best :D :D (after DBSK, for me XD)

hwaiting blackjacks!!!! hwaiting 2NE1!!

[Juliettasama]

@melsDBSK DBSK5 i miss them T___T good that 2NE1 are still 4, and I hope it'll stay like this for... ever! XD

[melsDBSK]

@Juliettasama me too, me too T_T I miss them like a crazy ç_ç

yup *_* 2NE1 stay like this forever and never change cause your perfect the way you are!!

[zwweet]

@melsDBSK After bigbang too! (a)

[logansweetheart]

@melsDBSK right

[ILovePhiJabbawockeez]

@melsDBSK Stop it, Bom will be sad if you say she's only second ;D

[melsDBSK]

@ILovePhiJabbawockeez you're right XDD Bom unnie, you are perfect and Dara, CL and Minzi! <3 :) hwaiting!!

[mimidbsk16]

Aso fierce!

[0901utube]

i love how they made this song because

CL: compared a lot to other girl korean stars

Minji and Dara: are often made fun of because of their bodies or faces

[iDustbinBeaver]

FRUITY PEBBLES JOHN CENA JUST CREATED 12 ACC TO HATE THIS CAUSE CL TOOK HIS WWE BELT!

[funcky3devil]

I'm not really into the korean girl group songs but I can say 2NE1 is the best korean girl group their songs R really good & they don't act cute like the other girls group they R a strong girls so is thier music

[theonlydrugxx]

"If we're talking about my value, I'm a billion dollar baby." Hot and sexy ^^

[vicky9279]

OMG MY UNCLE IS GOING TO START SAYING THERE ILLIMATIS

[LinkShouldBeAGirl]

I'm not really a fan of their music but I love how different they are from all the other girl groups. They don't try to act overly sexy or cute to get attention, they just act themselves and use their talent!

[julianesponjalavigne]

The same arrogance with a cool beat of "SO HOT" by wonder girls.

[Toosmartformaths]

TA-TA-TA, TA-TA!!

So rocker!!

I love it b^-^d

[danzarely3]

The beginning sound A LOT like Nicola Roberts new song "Beat of My Drum"

[shinkukirai]

I love this song, I don't think it needs to be taken so seriously; It's a fun going out song, tongue in cheek sort of thing. They are beautiful and talented girls, try being one of them for a day without getting a little arrogant. I couldn't do it. I also find their attitudes a little refreshing, it's aggressive, and I like it. :)

[MisterAV0]

YG, please release an explicit version with B****. That would be epic.

[oCagallio]

if she said bitch, the song would be perfect...

[TheLinashi]

The beginning of the song really reminds me of Beyonce's Run the world.... but only the beginning...... the lyrics is awesome and so is the music~~~ the dance and the comeback stage were more than impressive, they are definitely the best girl group

[toiletseatandfriends]

i love it how they reference their previous songs; dara- 'i jump on the table you're sitting at,I DONT CARE', CL - 'if you touch me, you wont be able to handle it, im hot hot hot FIRE',

[Zxw08]

It's BEAT not Bitch!

[angeliccoolkat]

YES 2NE1!! You really are the BEST!!!!! Hwaiting!! ^^

[MATTHEW6332013]

I low how someone said that cl's voice sounds "african or like rihanna from the hood" hahahahaha; just say its ounds hip hoppy or soulful if that's what you mean; anyway, great song

[RagnaGirl]

@smellysmo i don't that what she said is bitch. i think it's BEAT.. >.<

[drummerboii06]

Damn Teddy Park goin hard

[luekok08]

Hey guys, They Said "BEAT" not b**ch. okay?

[TheSenteria]

@luekok08 hahahahaha i always thought that guess i misheard hahahah thanks for clearing that out for me

[gianinabiancad]

@luekok08 heyy . what part is that

[DontTouchMyCorn]

hahah it would be awesome if she was actually saying bitch xD

[sevendeadlysin1]

its not bitch! its BEAT!!!!

[watadog12]

just because something is black and white does not make it ilumminati. stfu about this ilumminati shit.

[JennyogKelly]

PEOPLE!! ITS NOT BITCH, ITS BEAT!!!!

[tinkermagic]

@ChashaStar at least you agree with me because some people being stupid denying it instead of worrying because I take that stuff serious.

[catar6]

AWESOME

[nemariXXchan]

This has turned into my official self confidence song when I'm getting ready to go somewhere.

[iloveoppataeyang]

i want to like this but really, i prefer their previous songs.

Confidence is great, arrogance is a turn-off. I'm not sure if they've crossed the line. This could backfire.

[koalakaminari]

@iloveoppataeyang the title itself says "i'm the best" what do you expect? :/

[iloveoppataeyang]

@koalakaminari oh well, just found the lyrics abit OTT ... and their previous songs frankly sounded better. After all the waiting n hype, i just expected more. Well, now waiting for the MV :)

[aygachu]

lol i loooove the song

their songs are so fun to sing to and empowering

[ChiakiNguyen]

I have to admit this song is very arrogant, but I love it!!

2NE1 will always be the best in my heart. ^^

[vipz4bigbang]

cool lyrics~

[BybeeBunnie]

@smellysmo I love this song too! And I agree with the Cl gives it an african vibe feel part. BTW, its BEAT and not BITCH:( I wanted it to be bitch too... but I guess they didn't want to cover those parts on the live, cuz it'd be weird hearing nothing all the time... :( cuz they'll have to beep it out.

[234naru]

bomrratatatatata~~ bomrratatatatata~~ I think koreans will sing bomlatatatatata~~ bomlatatatatata~~ lol

[BosnianBurek]

lol I can't believe that this song totally describes them.  I hope they win every award possible.

[hannahkh8]

bomabombomratatatatata BITCH! XD

[Bouiscute]

OMG!

[lovesgossipxoxo]

i love the billion dollar baby part. love it. and to all those people talking about the illuminati cos of a triangle, i fucking love pyramids and triangles. as much as circles and squares. what did an innocent triangle do? its funny that you're so sensitive to shapes.

people are weird, they look out for what they dont like. hmm. so subconsciously you're looking out for illuminati stuff? so can i say youre some illuminati guy/girl?

[MegaMackie09]

@smellysmo i think it's BEAT not that Bitc* thing

[piqapique]

this gives the same feeling as 'I'm busy', my other favourite song from them. ^^

[Zero29Star]

i dont think its the illuminati shit pyramid. i think its like those guitar hero game. with the lines and all. and even if it WAS a pyramid. it should have 1 of those eye on the top of the pyramid.

[MegaMackie09]

can't wait for the music video!

[XxHpOosxX1995]

i LOVE IT!!!!!

they can sing anything fast or slow there songs feats any taste

2ne1 FIGHTING!!!!

and yes you are the BEST

[lauchengco03]

I'm looking for the official video! >.< somethings missing, cannot appreciate it yet.

But, your way too fast for releasing ha-ha nice dude. :)) LOL, YG WHAT HAPPENED!?!

[tibbysd]

@smellysmo i dont think they say bitch in the song

[ouiam11]

@smellysmo When does CL say: Bitch ??

[smellysmo]

@ouiam11 @3:10 I don't know the official lyrics, but some says that CL said "Beat", I don't know it sound like BITCH XD would be awesome if she said that haha fierce leader

[tibbysd]

@smellysmo that's minzy and she's saying beat

[ouiam11]

@smellysmo When does she say BITCH ?? I dont hear it XDD

[tinkermagic]

is that a black triangle in the back I hope not I dont want them to be in the shitty illuminati :(

[ChashaStar]

@tinkermagic thats what i'm thinking too :< i hope its not illuminati :<

[13moredays]

Sounds so arabian!! Love it!

[pearlharbor073]

We just have to wait for the best dance woo hoo can't wait for Sunday and mv

[amutoluvr34]

i know how you guys feel about the song, I do like it but I can agree that it's not their BEST song. You just gotta play it a couple times and it'll grow on you :) I have a feeling once the MV comes out, it'll be even better lol :D

[wayarhitam]

@amutoluvr34 I agree. I was frustrated to hear the song when I first listen to it. the beat is sick, but its not growing on me. takes a couple of listens to like it, but I need the MV to make me LOVE it lol.

[KunnyBun]

@wayarhitam Yeah. I will make it psycho me till I love it :D But thinking that Teddy wrote it for the girls to let them know they are the best, no matter what others say about them, it's going to be the best song.

[Lizbeth21000]

@gnuhluv i know...their other songs are way better than this one....the singing is off beat at the beginning...i just don't like it and it doesn't fit them...the beat i mean...

[manga788]

THAT'S RIGHT 2NE1 - YOU'RE THE BEST!!

[zeolion]

sounds illuminati ? ?

[xXx2NE1TruthxXx]

@zeolion How does it sound illuminati? They're just saying they're the best. It's not the first time they sing songs like this, Fire had a similar theme.

[zeolion]

@xXx2NE1TruthxXx , after the video is released.. it is confirmed, 2ne1 is illuminated..

[vrockchick89]

LOVE THIS SONG!!! From beginning to end!!! *replays* 8D

[Rubilicious01]

Those ppl who didn't like d song... I was like that at first. But u have to listen to d song a couple of times. It will grow on u. I'm loving it now! 2ne1 daebak!!!

[rimensiala13]

they refuse to be compared what's a msg to fun

I think every one know what they mean lol

[rimensiala13]

translated by gee lol

[piqapique]

thanks for subbing this! omg you're so fast!!

[chalegaable]

[KayBeCR]

Anyway this song is very addicting! Makes me want to dance!

[KpOpxxxLoVe]

The Voice Of CL is Just Amazing ! ♥

[MrWhitechop]

did anyone notice the part starting around 1.24,teddy was making that beat with g.d in 2ne1 tv season 2 =)

[piqapique]

@MrWhitechop yes yes the first thing i notice. though i really want the song he is making with teddy, this is not that bad.

[MrWhitechop]

@piqapique ya right? me too.i thought the would put it in big bang's new album.but didn't

[Evonne13]

@MrWhitechop ya... maybe just the same beat not the same song... keep waiting for that song... ^^

[MrWhitechop]

@Evonne13 yea.just some parts of it.not the whole song.

[GDragonGMarket]

I like the Nooooo....Nahh....

[thunderflashradio]

Holy crap...I don't...*dies happy*

[SweetHaji]

I love the OMG part! Its funny^^ & Thanks for subbing this so quickly, we appreciate it!

[Lizbeth21000]
