In B1A4's hit song "What's Happening?" (이게무슨일이야; Igemuseuniriya), the lyrics explore themes of confusion, desire, and connection. The song begins with a sense of urgency, as the speaker demands honesty from someone about their whereabouts: "Every day yeah yeah yeah yeah / Every day yeah yeah yeah yeah / Hey, be honest with me, where are you? / Where are you? (I'm home, of course), where are you right now?" This initial confusion sets the stage for a song that explores the complexities of relationships and communication.
The speaker then expresses their desire for connection: "You! baby I want you beautiful love (hey) / Wassup wassup tell me tell me wassup." These repetitive phrases create a sense of urgency, as if the speaker is desperate to connect with someone. The use of the word "baby" also adds an intimate and affectionate tone, further emphasizing the desire for connection.
The lyrics then shift to a sense of longing and confusion: "Every time I think about you nan oneuldo / Every time I think about you nan oneuldo // Ya neo nahante jalhae algetji?." The repetition of these phrases creates a sense of intensity, as if the speaker is consumed by their thoughts. The use of the phrase "nan oneuldo" (너의 목소리가 떨리는 거 모르니) suggests that the speaker is so deeply affected by thinking about this person that they are physically shaking. This intense emotion is further emphasized in the line "Ige museun iriya ireoke joheun nare / Ige museun iriya ireoke joheun nal," which suggests a sense of disorientation and confusion.
The song then explores themes of trust and honesty: "Now I know / I knew that would happen / You! baby I want you beautiful love (hey) / Wassup wassup tell me tell me wassup // Hey, you better be good to me, ok?" These lines suggest a sense of vulnerability and a need for openness in relationships. The repetition of the phrase "you better be good to me" creates a sense of trust and intimacy, as if the speaker is asking the other person to reciprocate their feelings.
The lyrics then shift to a more introspective tone: "Imman yeolmyeon neoneun maeil geojitmal / Nunman tteumyeon neoneun maeil geojitmal / Teumman namyeon neoneun maeil geojitmal // Ije naneun arasseo / Geureol jul arasseo." These lines suggest a sense of introspection and self-reflection, as if the speaker is examining their own feelings and emotions. The use of the phrase "maeil geojitmal" (매일 거짓말) further emphasizes the need for honesty and openness in relationships.
