Let’s look at these classic lines:

“자꾸만 듣고 싶어
계속 내게 말해줘
꿈이 아니라고 말해줘요”
“I want to keep hearing it —
Keep telling me
That this isn’t just a dream.”

With its retro sound, catchy hook, and unforgettable choreography, Tell Me didn’t just dominate the charts — it became a full cultural phenomenon.
But beneath the playful beat lies the pure emotion of a girl in disbelief about falling in love.

Head has always been a great singer and performer, but this song is really exceptional. It is the first song of her I heard that shows such a vulnerable side, and she is brilliant in it.

It’s the kind of song where the pain doesn’t explode — it lingers quietly, wrapped in dignity.
Even when her heart aches, she faces the ending with poise.

Let’s take a closer look at this powerful line:

“안녕은 우릴 아프게 하지만
우아할 거야”
“Goodbye will hurt us —
but it will be graceful.”

True to its title, the song feels like a riddle — emotion wrapped in mystery. Is it about a love that ended but still lingers? Or a confession that never found its voice?
Either way, the silence speaks louder than words.

Every time I see you, my heart goes thump!”

And once again, they do what they do best — being charmingly funny and effortlessly cute while showing off impressive vocals over a bright pop groove.
The MV feels just like a short K-drama episode: soft lighting, awkward glances, and hearts beating faster than logic allows. 💫

From O.O’s genre twists to Dash’s slowing tempo, and now this — a song that breathes, with the beat accelerating and decelerating in ways you rarely hear in pop or rock.

Every comeback, NMIXX redefine what “mixx pop” means.

It’s loud, unapologetic, and dripping with irony — the sound of a girl who refuses to be the “nice one” anymore.
