RESCENE’s song “Glow Up” is the title track of their second EP. It has a dual meaning representing shining brightly and growing confidently.
Hangul
I want to always shine, at any time
Like this transparent reverb
It penetrates very gently
Little by little let me show you
What I like, like, like
Feeling clear as the sun
My heart reflects like a wave
Check it out, what’s up?
A clear scent blows softly
The steps I take on the road are full of excitement.
My heart moves quickly, urging me on
I waited too long
Honey, we’re growing
Lately, my heart has been pounding
Take a step back
날아 keep up, keep up, keep up
I want to capture more in my eyes
Show me that I’m so curious
I want to fill you with light and shine even brighter for you
Shine
That-that-that-that, lights up
That-that-that-that, lights up
That-that-that-that, lights up
I want to shine (shine)
That-that-that-that, lights up
That-that-that-that, lights up
That-that-that-that, lights up
(I will shine)
You are like a diamond reflected in the mirror
The moment I open my eyes, there’s a breathtaking light (ooh-yeah)
I like it, I like it, the refreshing atmosphere
Following this mood, will you taste with me?
Let’s go now
Continue blowing gently
I feel like my heart has been stolen by the wave of a hand.
Approach me with the story of an unknown dream
Keep calling me, the time has come
Honey, we’re growing
Lately, my heart has been pounding
Take a step back
날아 keep up, keep up, keep up
I want to capture more in my eyes
Show me that I’m so curious
I want to fill it with light and shine brightly
Shine
That-that-that-that, lights up
That-that-that-that, lights up
That-that-that-that, lights up
I want to shine (shine)
That-that-that-that, lights up
That-that-that-that, lights up
That-that-that-that, lights up
I want to shine (shine)

Translation
I want to shine like lightning in a bottle
Feel my aura radiate
From head to toe I will shine bright
Come and let me show you
What I like, like, like
Sunlight flows through my senses
Ripples in my reflecting heart
What I want, I want, I have to see what’s inside
Feel it in the air
Blowing through my hair
That intoxicating scent
I have a spring in every step
My heart moves fast
There’s no going back
I waited too long
Honey, we’re growing
I’ve been feeling the rush lately
Can we go ahead and skip?
Better keep up, keep up, keep up
I don’t want to miss even a moment of this story
I’m so curious
I want to light, light a fire
I’m burning brighter today
Shine
That, that, that, that, that lights up
That, that, that, that, that lights up
That, that, that, that, that lights up
Brighter today (glowing)
That, that, that, that, that lights up
That, that, that, that, that lights up
That, that, that, that, that lights up
Brighter today
Take a look inside
You are like a diamond
You don’t have to hide
I see your truth shine (Ooh, yeah)
Yes, I like it, I like it
Yes, I like it, vibrant
I never want to slow down
Will you taste with me?
Let’s go now
Walk on air without any worries
Can you feel that sweet breeze?
Saying “follow me, follow me”
I will go down this path because I know it
I feel the call of hope
Just forget about tomorrow
The time has come
Honey, we’re growing
I’ve been feeling the rush lately
Can we go ahead and skip?
Better keep up, keep up, keep up
I don’t want to miss even a moment of this story
I’m so curious
I want to light, light a fire
I’m burning brighter today
Shine
That, that, that, that, that lights up
That, that, that, that, that lights up
That, that, that, that, that lights up
Brighter today (glowing)
That, that, that, that, that lights up (Ah-ah)
That, that, that, that, that lights up (Ah-ah)
That, that, that, that, that lights up (Ah-ah)
Brighter today (Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah; It lights up)
