Izna just dropped their second mini album, and the title track “Mamma Mia” is pure fire. No ABBA here—this is a bold, hard-hitting anthem of self-affirmation and confidence. The lyrics push back against limits and walls, with the group declaring their unstoppable rise.

Let’s break down this powerful line:

“아무리 날 멈추려 가두려 해도

계속해서 올라가”

“No matter how much they try to stop me and lock me in,

I keep rising.”

📘 Key Words & Grammar

1️⃣ 아무리 … 해도 – No matter how much … / Even if …

• 아무리 = no matter how

• -해도 = even if (concessive ending from 하다 + -도)

👉 Sets up the defiance: “Even if they try…”

2️⃣ 날 멈추려 – To try to stop me

• 나 = me (casual) → with -를 = 날 (object)

• 멈추다 = to stop

• -려 = contraction of -려고, “in order to / trying to”

👉 “Trying to stop me.”

3️⃣ 가두려 해도 – Even if they try to confine (me)

• 가두다 = to lock in, confine

• -려 하다 = to try/intend to

• -도 = even if

👉 “Even if they try to confine me.”

4️⃣ 계속해서 올라가 – I keep rising

• 계속하다 = to continue

• 해서 = connective form (“continuing and…”)

• 올라가다 = to go up, rise

👉 “I keep on rising.”

💡 Language Tip:

Notice how the two verbs 멈추다 (stop) and 가두다 (confine) are paired—it doubles the intensity: you can try to freeze me, you can try to cage me, but the concession ending -해도 cancels it all out. The final verb 올라가다 is simple but unstoppable.
