About the Song

《Playground》, stylized as PLAYGROUND, is a lively yet emotionally layered track by OH MY GIRL, released in 2015 as the third song on their second mini album CLOSER. Unveiled on October 8 under WM Entertainment, the song uses playful imagery and bright melodies to frame the tension of a relationship on the verge of collapse. Written and composed by Sean Alexander alongside his collaborators, 《Playground》 contrasts its childlike setting with sharp emotional conflict, turning the idea of a game into a metaphor for avoidance, pride, and emotional push-and-pull. Through teasing vocals and provocative lyrics, the track reveals how unresolved feelings can transform even a joyful space into a stage for confrontation, solidifying OH MY GIRL’s early talent for blending innocence with emotional depth.

Your expression calls out to me, so sad, as you finally say goodbye. Oh, love turned to hate. Your lips tremble as you speak, sighing heavily. Oh, love turned to hate, but here we are again. I don’t feel regret, let’s just end it easily. A pleasant farewell is okay with me, even an exciting goodbye is okay.

When I’m with you, woo, woowoowoo, you, woo, woowoowoo. This kind of typical breakup won’t do, oh oh. Let’s play together, playground. When I’m with you, woo, woowoowoo, you, woo, woowoowoo. That usual expression of yours won’t do, oh oh. Let’s play together, playground.

Come on, push me a little, like you’re pushing me away. Push me away, push me away. Climb up the seesaw, try to win over me. On the playground, oh oh, on the playground, on the playground, come on.

🎵 Song Meaning & Interpretation

the song turns a breakup into a twisted game, masking pain with playful gestures and sarcasm. beneath the teasing surface, emotions rot into bitterness, and love collapses into resentment as honesty is delayed. what feels light and childish on the outside hides a cruel refusal to face the end, exposing how avoidance can hurt more than goodbye itself.
