Keep me up – B.I (金韩彬)
词：B.I/Catherine Lee/Aja Ayanna Cruz
曲：Stereotypes/9AM
Bring your
Bring your body
Cause I get a feeling when around it
네 손길이 내게 닿을 때
홀린 듯 최면에 걸린 거 같아
Tell me you feel it feeling something
Know I’ve been away but I miss your loving
숨소리로 채운 밤의 노래
깊은 사랑을 원해
Until the morning
So into you
Girl you got me in circles circles
I don’t wanna waste none
Cause I know that time is of the virtue virtue
I can barely sleep babe
Need you with me
그녀 눈빛이 나를 지배해
우리들은 취해 분위기에
So whenever I’m home don’t you ever sleep
Cause you keep me up up
불꽃이 피어
I’m just tryna love ya
불꽃이 피어 피어 피어
Cause girl you keep me up
밤이 오면 외로워
텅 빈 맘을 채워줘
너의 몸이 그리워
아름답고 해로워
And you know it
Girl the road always shows it
Leading back every moment
All I really want is this moment
So into you
Girl you got me in circles circles
I don’t wanna waste none
Cause I know that time is of the virtue virtue
I can barely sleep babe
Need you with me
그녀 눈빛이 나를 지배해
우리들은 취해 분위기에
So whenever I’m home don’t you ever sleep
Cause you keep me up
불꽃이 피어
I’m just tryna love ya
불꽃이 피어 피어 피어
Cause girl you keep me up
I’ve been trying trying trying
To keep in touch my darling darling
입술에 활짝 핀 장미 장미
불꽃이 피어 피어 피어
Cause girl you keep me up
서로가 축복과 재앙
위태위태한 방황 끝에 난
네가 필요해
내 아프로디테야
내 아프로디테야
I can barely sleep babe
Need you with me
그녀 눈빛이 나를 지배해
우리들은 취해 분위기에
So whenever I’m home don’t you ever sleep
Cause you keep me up
불꽃이 피어
I’m just tryna love ya
불꽃이 피어 피어 피어
Cause girl you keep me up
I’ve been trying trying trying
To keep in touch my darling darling
입술에 활짝 핀 장미 장미
불꽃이 피어 피어 피어
Cause girl you keep me up
《Keep me up》是韩国歌手B.I（金韩彬）于2022年11月18日发行的EP《Love or Loved Part.1》中的主打曲。这首歌曲的创作背景标志着B.I在音乐风格上的一次重要突破与全球化尝试。作为该EP的核心曲目，它脱离了传统K-POP工业化的制作流水线，转而采用了与欧美音乐人深度合作的模式。B.I邀请了Stereotypes、9AM等具备国际视野的制作团队共同操刀，并融合了Catherine Lee与Aja Ayanna Cruz的词作灵感，旨在打破地域界限，用一种更具普世共鸣的音乐语言来解构“爱”的复杂章节。这种创作思路让歌曲呈现出一种独特的“柑橘色”氛围感，既有R&B的慵懒律动，又兼具流行音乐的抓耳旋律，被乐评人形容为“刚上高速便直接起飞”的听感体验，展现了B.I不愿被单一标签定义、渴望在音乐性上不断突破自我的野心。
歌曲的表达含义深刻描绘了激情迷恋阶段那种令人窒息却又甘之如饴的失眠状态，将爱情具象化为一场美丽而致命的燃烧。歌词开篇便以“Bring your body”直白地切入，描述了当指尖触碰瞬间产生的催眠般错觉，这种生理上的战栗让夜晚变成了由喘息声编织的歌谣。B.I在歌词中反复吟唱“Cause girl you keep me up”，这里的“Keep me up”具有双重隐喻：既是指爱人让他彻夜难眠、无法入睡的物理状态，更是指对方点燃了他内心的火焰，让他的精神处于一种持续亢奋与清醒的巅峰体验。这种失眠并非源于焦虑，而是源于对时间的极度珍惜，正如歌词所言“I don't wanna waste none, Cause I know that time is of the virtue”，因为深知时间宝贵，所以不愿在睡眠中虚度，只想在黎明到来前尽情沉溺于这份深情。
整首歌的情感内核充满了矛盾张力与危险的美感。B.I用“불꽃이 피어”（爱情之火熊熊燃烧）作为副歌的记忆点，配合“入술에 활짝 핀 장미”（双唇绽放出鲜红玫瑰）这样极具视觉冲击力的意象，营造出一种热烈到近乎灼伤的氛围。他坦诚地唱道“아름답고 해로워”（那般美丽却又如此致命），承认这段关系既是彼此的祝福也是咒诅，是在危险彷徨尽头唯一的依靠。这种将爱人比作“阿芙罗狄蒂”（爱与美之神）的表达，不仅赋予了对方神性的光辉，也暗示了在这段关系中，主角甘愿被眼神支配、双双沉醉于氛围之中的臣服姿态。歌曲最终传达出一种活在当下的极致浪漫主义：即便知道这份爱如烟火般绚烂却短暂，即便知道它是美丽的陷阱，依然选择在那一刻彻底燃烧，用彻夜不眠的清醒去对抗时间的流逝，只为留住那抹在唇边绽放的玫瑰色泽。
