About Russian Roulette

"Russian Roulette" (Korean: 러시안 룰렛; RR: Reosian rullet) is a song by South Korean girl group Red Velvet and was released as a single for their third extended play of the same name. Written by Jo Yun Gyeong, it is primarily a synth-pop song which lyrically compares the process of winning someone's heart to a game of Russian roulette. It was released on September 7, 2016 by S. M. Entertainment along with an accompanying music video. "Russian Roulette" received generally favorable reviews from critics upon its release, both internationally and in the group's native country, South Korea. It also gained attention for its unique music video semi-inspired by The Simpsons' fictional animated television series, Itchy & Scratchy that masks violent and almost lethal pranks the members pull on each other in a bright, bubbly and seemingly fun-filled video. Dazed Digital placed it at number six on their 20 Best K-pop Tracks of the Year and it won Best Music Video at the 2016 Melon Music Awards.

La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la

날카로운 Secret 둘러싼
얘긴 베일 속에
점점 더 깊은 H-H-Hush
맘을 겨눠 이제
여긴 온통 어두운 밤하늘색
그림자조차 길을 잃게 해

Oh 넌 항상 Love is game
쉽게 즐기는 가벼움일 뿐이라고
뭐 이렇게 못된 얘기로 자꾸
피해 가려고만 하니 왜

커지는 Heart b-b-beat
빨라지는데
너답잖게 Heart b-b-b-beat
거려 나를 볼 때
마지막 남은 순간까지
점점 다가오지 Crazy
아찔하게 겨눈 Russian Roulette
Ah-ah-ah-yeah
La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)
Heart b-b-b-beat
마지막 남은 순간까지
내게 맡기게 될 거야 넌
달콤한 너의 Russian Roulette

반짝인 Secret
더 이상 외면하진 못해
버튼은 내가 P-P-Push
받아들여 이제
니 맘 온통 내 모습 채워지게
꿈꿀 때조차 나를 찾게 돼

Oh 아직 넌 Love is game
내게 말해도 흔들려 니 목소리도
장난스레 스친 눈빛 너머로
어쩔 줄 모르는 니 모습

커지는 Heart b-b-beat
빨라지는데
너답잖게 Heart b-b-b-beat
거려 나를 볼 때
마지막 남은 순간까지
점점 다가오지 Crazy
아찔하게 겨눈 Russian Roulette
Ah-ah-ah-yeah
La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)
Heart b-b-b-beat
마지막 남은 순간까지
내게 맡기게 될 거야 넌
달콤한 너의 Russian Roulette

이토록 깊은 꿈이 넌 처음일걸
내 맘이 이 밤이 아른거리는 Game
You can’t control

커지는 Heart b-b-beat
빨라지는데
터질 듯한 Heart b-b-b-beat
Key는 내가 쥘게
마지막 남은 순간까지
점점 다가오지 Crazy
아찔하게 겨눈 Russian Roulette
Ah-ah-ah-yeah
La-la-la-la-la (넌 이미)
Heart b-b-b-beat
마침내 빼낼 수도 없게 박혀
니 심장 더 깊은 곳
달콤한 너의 Russian Roulette

커지는 Heart b-b-beat
빨라지는데
La-la-la-la-la
커지는 Heart b-b-beat
빨라지는데
La-la-la-la-la
Heart b-b-b-beat
