Why not? I know, everything and anything seems unpleasant
These days have been very very sad, very very hard
But I’ll overcome them, and reset whenever I’m tired
Say panpakapan, panpakapan*
I look up to the sky, it’ll go my way

Surely, I can comprehend these discouraged feelings
Shine! Someday I’ll meet the person important to me
and acclimate to this kindness
So baby, take a chance

Up up wake me up, every time you shine
My future changes
Up up step up, I’ll work up the courage
To seize tomorrow
Even on rainy days, even on windy days
I’ll keep on smiling, never give up
Up up wake me up, do you believe?
Will you embrace this happiness?

I won’t rush unexpected joy
Patience and tears are a must
Hanging hanging on moving moving on
Oh, I won’t give up

It’s okay to cry, I’ll get up again as always
Say panpakapan, panpakapan*
This life is so dramatic

Some nights feel sorrowful, but I’m not alone
Love under the same sky
I’ll wait for the somebody I fall in love with
So baby, feel so good

Up up wake me up, every time I get hurt
My heart becomes stronger
Up up step up, the things we once couldn’t do
Are becoming possible
My wish will come true
The day I reach that place
Up up wake me up, today I look behind
And the beautiful flowers are blooming

Bang bang, bang bang, no matter how far away
Bang bang, bang bang, I’ll keep on searching
Wanna make a smile, my heart won’t give in, I’ll be there
Yes! It goes beyond time

Up up baby don’t give up
Wake me up, we can work it out yo
Up up baby don’t give up
Wow wow wow wow

Up up baby don’t give up (Yeah oh)
Wake me up, we can work it out yo
Up up baby don’t give up
Wow wow wow wow
Are you ready?

Dear (Ooh)
Up up wake me up, every time you shine
My future changes
Up up step up, I’ll work up the courage
To seize tomorrow
Even on rainy days, even on windy days
I’ll keep on smiling, never give up
Up up wake me up, do you believe?
Will you embrace this happiness?

*パンパカパーン (panpakapan) is the onomatopoeia for a trumpet fanfare.

  1. ‘幸せ手に入れるの’ in the second and third chorus is ‘shiawase te ni ireru no’. And ‘Yes 時を越えて行こう’ just after the second chorus is ‘Yes toki wo koete YUkou’ and not ‘koete ikou’ I think.

  2. After i listened to Wake Me Up on spotify I found out that the first ‘up up baby don’t give up..’ is leaded by Tzuyu. It’s different from the one after the bridge. I compared the two. The second one sounds like Momo or Sana. But I think it is Momo because she is in the center on that part -while doing dance break-.

    For me;

    [Tzuyu/All] Up up baby don’t give up
    [Tzuyu/All] Wake me up, we can work it out yo
    [Tzuyu/All] Up up baby don’t give up
    [All] Wow wow wow wow
    [Tzuyu/All] Up up baby don’t give up
    [Tzuyu/All] Wake me up, we can work it out yo
    [Tzuyu/All] Up up baby don’t give up
    [All] Wow wow wow wow

    ~after the bridge~

    [Momo or Sana/All] Up up baby don’t give up
    [Momo or Sana/All] Wake me up, we can work it out yo
    [Momo or Sana/All] Up up baby don’t give up
    [All]Wow wow wow wow

    [Momo or Sana/All] Up up baby don’t give up [Jihyo] (Yeah oh)
    [Momo or Sana/All] Wake me up, we can work it out yo
    [Momo or Sana/All] Up up baby don’t give up
    [All]Wow wow wow wow

    Just give it a try, you can understand ^^

    1. Yeah I noticed the second one is higher in pitch like Momo or Sana. But I don’t usually put X/All unless it’s adlibs, it’s too obvious or it says so in M Countdown/Music Bank, in this case is too vague x_x

      1. I see. But I think you can make a note that ‘says it is not confirmed in the top. -like you did on Mamma Mia ‘Rowoon covers this part in live stages.- Cause I think the first one seems to much like Tzuyu. Just my opinion hehe^^

  3. I agree that the two “Up, up baby don’t give up…” parts sound different

    I’m not sure about this, but, based on the MV, it could be that the first on is Chaeyoung/Tzuyu and the second one is Mina/Dahyun

    Not 100% sure on this, but it kind of sounds like them, so just my suggestion

  4. After listening to this video, I agree with TWICEFan90996.
    The start can be like this:

    [Chae/Tzu] Up up baby don’t give up
    [Chae/Tzu] Wake me up, we can work it out yo
    [Chae/Tzu] Up up baby don’t give up
    [All] Wow wow wow wow
    [Chae/Tzu] Up up baby don’t give up
    [Chae/Tzu] Wake me up, we can work it out yo
    [Chae/Tzu] Up up baby don’t give up
    [All] Wow wow wow wow

    And the dance break as this:

    [Mi/Da] Up up baby don’t give up
    [Mi/Da] Wake me up, we can work it out yo
    [Mi/Da] Up up baby don’t give up
    [All] Wow wow wow wow
    [Mi/Da] Up up baby don’t give up
    [Mi/Da] Wake me up, we can work it out yo
    [Mi/Da] Up up baby don’t give up
    [All] Wow wow wow wow

    The start sounds like ChaeTzu a lot and the acapella supports that. As for the dance break, MoMida is present there. I think Momo is doing the dance break as the role of being the main dancer and MiDa is supporting her because they are actually singing that part. Also, it would be pleasing this way.

    I AM NOT SURE, I just wanted to express my opinion. Please consider :)
