ILLIT – Meaning Tick-Tack
The song “Tick-Tack” by ILLIT seems to explore the emotional and psychological complexities of a young crush or romantic attraction. The recurring “tick-tack” sound in the chorus symbolizes the passage of time and the anticipation of romantic feelings.
Uncertainty in love: The “tick-tack” sound in the chorus reflects the ticking of a clock, symbolizing the rush of emotions, particularly the nervousness and excitement that comes with having a crush. It also highlights uncertainty about how the relationship will unfold.
Changing versions of yourself: The pre-chorus and verses focus on the feeling of trying to figure out which version of yourself is most attractive to a romantic interest. Lyrics like “Which version of me do you like?” and “Keeping childish things in the closet” suggest a desire to present a mature, ideal version of oneself, but still uncertain about what the other person truly wants.
Confusion and attraction: The song features moments of emotional conflict, such as “If I crumple it up, do you like me?” and “Worried, Worried, Sigh,” reflecting the insecurity and anxiety that often accompanies young love. At the same time, the attraction is strong, as expressed through the lyrics about looking at someone and wondering what it’s like to be with them.
Playful but serious: The playful nature of the song (with the repeated tick-tock sound and lines like “I’m hanging out with you”) contrasts with the deeper, more complex emotions about identity and attraction. The lyrics also describe feelings of desire and excitement as the relationship progresses (“The more I get to know you, the more I like you”).
However, while the ver. of “Tick-Tack” shows the group experiencing a school crush, with the lyrics reflecting the innocent rush and worries that young love can bring, the English version’s lyrics caused controversy as they are considered “too sexual ” for minor members.
