The lyricist uses straightforward lines like, ‘Don’t waste your time, it’s precious like a bank account,’ to drive home the message of self-worth. NewJeans delivers the story with a blend of frustration and determination, urging a friend to let go of a toxic relationship. The repeated question, ‘What’s your ETA?’ adds urgency to the narrative.
