Jennie “FTS” texts
[Verse 1]Maybe it's time to take a leap of faith (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
And come to my senses and take my shirt off in the rain (Ah-ah, ah-ah)
Strike a fuckin' match of love and desire and warm my hands up in the flame[Pre-Chorus]Whatever happened to freedom and honesty? (Ooh)
What matters to you, you, you, it's not that deep to me[Chorus]Fuck that shit, ah, yeah
Flip the script, ah, yeah
Inside of me, ah, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Fuck that shit, I am
Over it, ah, yeah
Off the grid, ah, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh (Fuck that shit)[Verse 2]I'm in love, you're on game
Switchin' up, switchin' lanes
Won't fight the urge, I'll go insane
I'll say what I want if this shit's true (True)
Oh, yeah, if that shit's true (If that shit's true)

Jennie “FTS” meaning
Jennie explained that “FTS” was born from a deep conversation that he had with his co-scriptors on how dreams eventually come true if you believe in them quite hard. He says that at the end of the conversation they decided to say “Fuck that shit”, which in the end became the song. Jennie challenges the need to conform, sing to get rid, take risks and remain faithful to herself, regardless of the expectations placed on her. The texts reflect themes of independence, challenge and self-cleaning, urging listeners to let go of social norms and live in their conditions.
With a double meaning, both “Fuck that shit” and “Flip the script”, the song highlights his determination to rewrite his narrative and take control of his destiny. An extraordinary moment arrives in the pre-chorus, in which he questioned: “Whatever happened to freedom and honesty?” Capture the raw frustration of the song and the emotional depth. Through his message without fear, emotional birth and anthemic energy, “FTS” resonates as a powerful call to those who are ready to live in an unpleasant way.
