Regular (English Ver.) Lyrics
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Mark, Taeyong, Mark & Taeyong]
I like shinin', you be lyin'
I be grindin', you waste time
Know you wanna roll with me
'Cause you know I put it down
When I show up, I'm the one and only
No, no, no (No, no)
Yeah, pull up in the Jag
Haters gon' be mad
[Verse 2: Jaehyun, Jungwoo, Taeyong]
I be walkin' with the cheese
That's that queso (Queso, queso)
Diamonds drippin'
Better bring your raincoat (Splash)
I got them racks on me (On me)
I brought the whole lit team with me
I might pull up in a spaceship
Hop out, it don't look like I live here
[Pre-Chorus: Taeil & Johnny, Doyoung, Haechan & Taeyong, Yuta & Mark]
And now we in the zone (Oh-oh-oh)
Stand too close, might catch a cold
Crib came with a gate and a code
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Drippin' water faucet (Splash)
VVS my diamonds, I don't need no light to shine
Iced out both my wrists, now I can barely see the time
I just made a million and I'm still not satisfied
'Cause I need that bag on the regular
I spend a bag on the regular
[Post-Chorus: All]
We make the world go, brra (Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
My bank account go (Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
We make the world go (Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Skrrt, brra)
Dinero, peso, yen, lo quiero, I want in (Woo, woo)
[Verse 2: Johnny, Yuta, Taeyong]
I am too rich to compete
So don't compare to me (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
We are not the same
Only one of me (Hey, hey)
Hop out the coupe (Woo)
The sky is the roof (Roof)
My whole team ball (Ball)
We never lose (Yah)
Hundreds all blue (Hundreds)
We do what we do (Ball)
Hoppin' out casket-fresh
Looking like a fashion show, ayy
Diamonds on my neck
Looking like a water show, ayy
Let's go
She gon' bust it, bust it, bust it
For a real, for a real one (Bust it, yeah, yeah)
We gon' bring out the cars
One way, no stop, to the stars
(Ah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Crew fly, Dubai
No, it ain't two sides, too high
One way to Mars (Yeah)
You better watch yourself
I did it all by myself (Go)
[Pre-Chorus: Taeil, Taeyong, Jaehyun, Jungwoo, Taeyong & Johnny]
And now we in the zone (Ice, ice)
Stand too close, might catch a cold (Stand too close)
Crib came with a gate and a code (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, drippin', water faucet (Splash)
[Chorus: All]
VVS my diamonds, I don't need no light to shine (Oh)
Iced out both my wrists, now I can barely see the time (Oh)
I just made a million and I'm still not satisfied
'Cause that need the bag on the regular (Regular)
I spend a bag on the regular (Brra)
We make the world go (Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
My bank account go (Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
We make the world go (Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Skrrt, brra) Yeah, yeah
Dinero, peso, yen, lo quiero (Hol' up), I want it (Woo, woo)
[Verse 4: Taeyong, Mark, Taeyong & Mark]
Multi-colored diamonds like the rainbow (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
PLR your eyes, 번쩍 눈이 부셔, your brain go
Yeah, 자체발광, we flash
주체 안돼, let's dance (Let's dance)
Yeah, this is real, this is a regular move
머리 어깨 무릎 발 무릎 발
Let's get bounce
[Bridge: Taeil, Jaehyun, Doyoung, All]
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Oh-oh-oh-oh (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Run it up, run it up, run it up (Run it up)
No competition in front of us
We got the wave, we gettin' paid (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
[Chorus: All]
VVS my diamonds, I don't need no light to shine (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
Iced out both my wrists, now I can barely see the time (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
I just made millions of it, but I'm still not satisfied (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
'Cause I need that bag on the regular (Regular)
I spend a bag on the regular
[Post-Chorus: All]
We make the world go, brra (Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
My bank account go (Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
We make the world go (Do-do, do-do-do, do-do-do)
(Skrrt, brra)
Dinero, peso, yen, lo quiero, I want it (Woo, woo)
[Outro: Taeyong]

In their interview on Apple Music’s Beats 1 radio with Zane Lowe, member Mark — who was born in Canada — said:
Even for us English speakers, it was hard, because we were already used to recording in Korean and everything. But we’ve realized that we wanted to focus on spreading our music to the world. And so, we needed an English version of the song, and we wanted our international fans to listen to it, as well. We thought that, as we were recording. So we also had to think of the vibe, as well, because it’s different from Korean. We wanted to deliver that the best way we could.
Throughout the video, the group continually exudes a sense of luxury much like the lyrics of the song.
The video opens with Mark rapping as he roams through alleys with a tiger by his side, the representative animal of Korea and its people. As it progresses, the music video intersperses the group’s point choreography with a variety of dramatic, mostly nightlife scenes.
These scenes have been interpreted by fans as a nod to 2012 South Korean film The Thieves. The song also appears in the “Irregular” half of the album i.e. appearing after the 6th track “Interlude: Regular to Irregular”. The music video thus also bears visual similarities to the “Irregular Office” teaser.
The references elude to the overarching theme of the parent album, “bridging the reality to dream”.
