Girl, you got me excited, I wanna play (Ooh)
It’s like I been at sea, the way I been on a wave
I want you to come join me (Join me)
Swimmin' in the money like royalty (Queen)
She said, "Baby, you don't have to spoil me"
She just want me to spoil her with loyalty

Let’s just run away (Away), memories to make (To make, ooh-ooh)

That’s why it's funny when you're calling me a (Star)
You're my sugar rush, you really got me (Charged)
Really got me charged, star

Girl, your energy, it lifts me high (Lifts me high)

About

Genius Annotation

The English version of “Make A Wish (Birthday Song)” is the closing track of NCT 2020 : RESONANCE Pt. 1, wrapping the album up with the same song the present opened with. It features long-time members Doyoung, Taeyong, Jaehyun, Jaemin, Lucas, Xiaojun and brand-new member Shotaro.

While the Korean rendition of the song focuses on a more dreamy, magical theme and only explicitly mentions a birthday party in the outro, the English version emphasizes it non-stop with various different comfort foods. This duality bares a slight resemblance to NCT subunit WayV’s Chinese-language “Bad Alive” that was later followed up with an English version presenting a different story.
