    [Intro: Yuna, Ryujin]

    Going up

    Escalator

    Make it better

    That's my manner

    So see ya later

    On an escalator

    Going up


    [Verse 1: Yeji, Ryujin, Chaeryeong]

    Look, 난 필요 없어 navigate (Yup)

    Hey, 본능이 나를 activate (Yup)

    Don't make a wish now, just do it

    지금 순간이 my new birthday

    Switch on, switch on, 뭘 그리 놀라 넌

    Wake up, wake up, 넋 놓고 있다가는 lost

    Kick off, kick off, 주저않고 저질러

    Now, just kick it off, now, just kick it off


    [Pre-Chorus: Yuna]

    Up, up, never go down

    오르막길을 즐기는 type

    Bottom up, 세우지 탑

    Yes, do it my way, 멈추지 않아

    Up, up, never go down

    오르막길을 즐기는 type

    Up, up, up, up, up, up

    Bye


    [Chorus: Chaeryeong, Ryujin, Yeji, Yuna]

    Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh-ayy

    On my escalator

    I am not losing (Ah) like the King Louis (Ah)

    나만의 비기 (Ah) 깨부숴, ceiling (Ah)

    Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh-ayy

    On my escalator

    호랑이 무늬 (Uh-huh), carpet의 주인 (Uh-huh)

    Don't need no gimmicks (Uh-huh), born to be highest ranking (Uh-huh)


    [Interlude: Yuna, Chaeryeong]

    Escalator

    So see ya later

    On an escalator

    Going up

    Escalator

    Winning mentality

    Escalator

    Going up


    [Verse 2: Ryujin]

    Freak that, 눈높이를 낮출 일은 없지 절대

    Sun tan, 누구보다 태양을 원해

    What was that? 발밑에다 두고 온 두려움

    It's my update, the latest, pass


    [Pre-Chorus: Chaeryeong, Yuna]

    Up, up, never go down

    내가 딱 어울리는 건 crown

    멈추는 법을 몰라

    더 커지는 gap, 날 탐내다간

    Up, up, never go down

    내가 딱 어울리는 건 crown

    Up, up, up, up, up, up

    Bye

    나만의 비기 (Ah) 깨부숴, ceiling (Ah)

    Ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh, ayy-oh-ayy

    On my escalator

    호랑이 무늬 (Uh-huh), carpеt의 주인 (Uh-huh)

    Don't need no gimmicks (Uh-huh), born to be listening
