Shut Down Lyrics in English BLACKPINK

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Shut Down by BLACKPINK from Korean to English.
keombaegi anya tteonan jeok eopseunikka
It's not a comeback, we've never left
gogaedeuri dora jinjeonghae mok kkeokkilra
Heads turn, chill out before your neck breaks
bunhongbichui eoreum
Pink ice
geimi anya jin jeogi eopseunikka
It ain't a game 'cause we've never lost
jijeobwa ne moge mokjureun nae geonikka
Go on and bark, that leash round your neck is mine
ttangbadage daheun
Get down on the ground
chorok bireul naeryeo meori wiro
Green light rains down over your head
gyeomsonhage geunyang anjaisseo
Just sit there humbly
ganpan naerigo mun jamga
Take the sign down and lock the door
ganpan naerigo mun jamga
Take the sign down and lock the door
ne daeum dabanjiya ttokbaro bwa
You're next, look at your answer sheet right
dwijibeobwa igeon gagyeokpyoya
Flip it over, that's the price tag
ganpan naerigo mun jamga
Take the sign down and lock the door
ganpan naerigo mun jamga
Take the sign down and lock the door

SONG MEANING

BLACKPINK pull up and flip the switch in “Shut Down,” turning every spotlight their way. From the very first “Blackpink in your area,” the group announces that they are back, louder and stronger, and everyone else had better clear the road. The lyrics mix Korean and English to brag about success, luxury cars, sparkling jewels, and a world-tour lifestyle, all while warning rivals to stay in their lanes. The repeated command to “shut it down” is not about ending the party; it is about closing the competition, silencing haters, and proving that BLACKPINK’s dominance is non-negotiable.

At its heart, the song is an anthem of untouchable confidence. Each verse flexes the group’s achievements—chart-topping hits, headline-making fashion, and an unstoppable “vroom vroom” energy—while playful refrains keep things catchy and fun. “Shut Down” invites listeners to celebrate bold self-belief: keep your head high, know your worth, and when you arrive, let the whole place know it is officially closed for anyone who doubted you.
