💛 TWS – “Overdrive” | When Your Heart Goes 쿵! 💥💓

Besides NMIXX, TWS also made their comeback yesterday with their 4th mini album and the title track “Overdrive.”

And once again, they do what they do best — being charmingly funny and effortlessly cute while showing off impressive vocals over a bright pop groove.

The MV feels just like a short K-drama episode: soft lighting, awkward glances, and hearts beating faster than logic allows. 💫

Let’s look at this line right before the chorus hits:

“더는 못 해 더는 못 해 나는

또 너만 보면 – 심장이 쿵”

“I can’t take it, I just can’t —

Every time I see you, my heart goes thump!

💬 Key Phrases to Learn:

1️⃣ 더는 못 해I can’t do (it) anymore / I can’t take it anymore

더는 – any longer / anymore (from “more” + -는, used with negatives)

못 해 – can’t do (from 하다, “to do,” + , inability)

→ Literally: “I can’t (do it) anymore.”

💡 Grammar tip:

더는 + negative verb = “not anymore.”

→ 더는기다릴수없어 → “I can’t wait any longer.”

2️⃣ 나는I (as for me)

– I

-는 – topic particle

→ Used for emphasis, often to contrast or add emotional focus.

Here it makes the repetition more dramatic: “Me? I really can’t.”

3️⃣ 또 너만 보면Every time I see only you

– again / every time

너만 – only you (너 + 만 “only”)

보다 (보면) – to see / when I see (conditional form)

→ Literally: “When I see only you (again).”

💡 The structure A만 보면 B = “Whenever I see A, B happens.”

→ 그사람만보면웃음이나와 → “Whenever I see that person, I smile.”

4️⃣ 심장이 쿵Heart goes thump!

심장 – heart (the organ, or figuratively: emotions)

– onomatopoeia for a heavy thump or heartbeat

→ “My heart goes boom / thud.”

💡 Korean loves sound words (의성어). You’ll hear 쿵쿵, 두근두근, and 탁! all the time in lyrics and dramas.

→ 심장이두근두근뛰다 → “My heart pounds fast.”

💡 Grammar Tip:

In casual spoken Korean, repeating a short phrase like 더는 못 해 더는 못 해 adds rhythm and emotion.

It’s like saying “I really can’t! Seriously, I can’t!” — dramatic repetition is a natural part of how emotions are expressed.

💬 Why It Matters:

This lyric captures the essence of TWS — innocent love, high energy, and that universal crush overload feeling.

It’s the build-up before the chorus, where everything (music, emotions, heartbeats) goes into Overdrive.

Simple words, strong grammar, and a perfect example of how Korean repetition amplifies feeling.

💓 Have you ever had your heart go 쿵 when someone smiled at you? Drop a 💛 if you know that feeling!
