Lyrics “NOT CUTE ANYMORE” by ILLIT
Hangul
my brave bag
No key ring, no mirror
Oh, rock will never die
Linda Linda Lullaby
Kongguksu limited edition
It is tastier than Matcha
I’m too shy for all this
Jelly shoes throughout the date
I have suede on my vinyl
my storybook
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
No, not anymore, I like loose jellyfish more than dogs (Uh-uh)
Because I’m not cute anymore
Perfect cut in 5 minutes
My makeup tutorial
When I’m very stressed
Should we watch a horror movie?
But you’re far away
Oh, I don’t like Cherry Coke
I’m not an alien
I’m just accommodating
I have suede on my vinyl
my storybook
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
No, not anymore, I like loose jellyfish more than dogs (Uh-uh)
Because I’m not cute anymore
Romanised
raw
No key ring, no mirror
Oh, rock will never die
I miss you Jangganggga
Hanjeongpan Kongguksu
Matchaboda gosohae
I’m too shy for all this
Deiteu naenae jellisyujeu
I have suede on my vinyl
retol
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
No more, soldiers in Sentanm hopeless or not.
Because I’m not cute anymore
The keot wanbyeokan
My makeup tutorial
When I’m very stressed
Gongpoyeonghwa shall we go?
We were neon meoreosseo
Oh, I don’t like Cherry Coke
In the future
Geunyang teolteolhan pyeonin geoya
I have suede on my vinyl
retol
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
No more, soldiers in Sentanm hopeless or not.
Because I’m not cute anymore
Translation
My bag is so brave
No key ring, no mirror
Oh, rock will never die
Linda, Linda lullaby
Kongguksu limited edition
Matcha has nothing on it
I’m too shy for all this
Jelly shoes on my date
I have suede on my vinyl
My storybook
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
No way, not anymore, I prefer a relaxed jellyfish to a puppy (Uh-uh)
Because I’m not cute anymore
Perfection in five minutes
My makeup tutorial
When I’m very stressed
How about a scary movie?
But you’re off track
Oh, I don’t like Cherry Coke
I’m not an alien
I’m just an easy-going guy
I have suede on my vinyl
My storybook
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
I’m not cute anymore (Uh-uh)
No way, not anymore, I prefer a relaxed jellyfish to a puppy (Uh-uh)
Because I’m not cute anymore
ILLIT “NO LONGER CUTE” Meaning

Incorporating the members’ real tastes, the unique lyrics clearly show their individual colors and personalities.
In an interview, Moka explained, “When people listen to our new song, they might think of the typical girl crush concept because we’re trying to say we’re not cute.
