KickFlip are back with their first comeback single “My First Love Song”—and the MV feels straight out of a K-drama. Think school uniforms, heart-thumping moments, and that nervous but exciting first confession. Today’s lyric captures that exact feeling:

“절대 절대 이런 거 못하는데

고백할게 답은 간단하게”

“I could never, never do something like this…

But I’ll confess—the answer is simple.”

📘 Key Words & Grammar

1️⃣ 절대 절대 – Absolutely never

• 절대 = never / absolutely not

• Repeated here for emphasis → “never ever”

👉 A classic intensifier you’ll hear in both love songs and arguments.

2️⃣ 못하는데 – (I) can’t do (it), but…

• 하다 = to do

• 못하다 = can’t do

• -는데 = background info / contrast connector

👉 “I really can’t do this kind of thing, but…”

3️⃣ 고백할게 – I’ll confess

• 고백 = confession (romantic or personal)

• 하다 = to do → 고백하다 = to confess

• -할게 = future tense with promise nuance (“I will / I’ll do it”)

👉 Soft but determined: “I’ll confess.”

4️⃣ 답은 간단하게 – The answer is simple

• 답 = answer

• 은 = topic particle

• 간단하다 = simple

• -게 = adverbial form → “simply”

👉 “As for the answer, it’s simple.”

💡 Language & Grammar Tip:

Notice the flow: 못하는데 → 할게. First, they deny ability (“I can’t”), but the -는데 sets up a reversal, followed by a decisive -할게. This switch is a common rhetorical move in K-pop lyrics—it dramatizes hesitation followed by resolve.

💬 Why It Matters:

This lyric feels like every K-drama confession scene rolled into two lines: nerves, hesitation, and then the simple but brave act of saying “I like you.” KickFlip’s “My First Love Song” captures that universal flutter of a first love moment.
