About the Song
《불장난》 is a track by BLACKPINK that captures the dangerous thrill of love when passion burns brighter than reason. Released in 2016 as part of the single album SQUARE TWO, the song was written and composed by TEDDY and arranged by R.Tee under YG Entertainment. Blending bold hip-hop beats with emotional tension, the lyrics portray love as a reckless fire—irresistible, addictive, and ultimately destructive. Rather than romanticizing innocence, the song leans into self-awareness, acknowledging the risk while choosing to burn anyway, which gives 《불장난》 its lasting intensity and edge.
