About the Song
《Blue Blood》 is the opening track of IVE’s first full-length album I’ve IVE, released on April 10, 2023 under Starship Entertainment. First unveiled during the group’s inaugural fan concert “The Prom Queens” on February 11, 2023, the song introduces a darker, more dramatic edge to IVE’s discography. Crafted by composers Nick Hahn, Sophia Brennan, and Elle Campbell, with lyrical contributions from Seo Ji-eum, the track blends a cinematic pop atmosphere with a driving bass, marching drums, and layered synthesizers that continuously build in intensity. This sonic progression highlights a powerful and refined image of the group, expressing confidence and nobility through its metaphor of “blue blood.” Without relying on flashy narrative twists, the track stands out for its mood-driven storytelling and bold production, positioning IVE as a group capable of exploring deeper and more stylistic musical themes.
[FULL LYRICS – ROMANIZATION & ENGLISH ONLY]
“Blue Blood” portrays a love that feels urgent, noble, and all-consuming. The singer pulls the listener in without hesitation, asking them to trust her and dive straight into her world, where a tiny spark quickly becomes a blazing fire. Throughout the lyrics, “blue” isn’t a sad color but a symbol of rare, refined passion—the elegant, dignified heartbeat running through her veins. She questions the other person’s “blood type” as a way of asking whether they can handle the intensity of her nature, the push and pull between cool composure and explosive energy. As the night grows hotter and the waves crash louder, the song suggests that real connection means throwing yourself into that storm, accepting that this fierce, transparent heart will take everything it wants and burn brightly until dawn. In the end, when she declares that both she and the other person are “blue,” it implies a shared, elevated spirit—two people matched in depth, courage, and uncontrollable desire.
