![]() However, that might just be me looking too deeply into this song. It seemed to create a glorified and glamorized perception of when guys whistle at girls, or to put it crudely, catcall at women. Another thing that stood out was – I found it a strange for the girls to ask the boy they like to “whistle” to them. It was a simple but good metaphor to express the girl’s desire for a lasting relationship between her and her crush. However, one line that was memorable was, “ I hope we won’t pass like the wind” which gave the lyrics more depth than the cliche of when a girl wants to stay by the guy’s side forever. The meaning of the song is your typical girl-has-a-crush-on-boy song, and honestly, the meaning is mediocre at best. The “whistling” in this song has two meanings: one, the “whistling” is used to describe the melody that the racing heart makes two, the way the girl wants the boy to call out to her. Lyrically, the song is love-call to the boy the girl is interested in. This is followed by an intense remix of the chorus, that is used as the dance break (as seen in the music video and live performance). ![]() The chorus is simple, with a constant repetition of “ 휘파람” which means “whistle.” After the second chorus, the song dives into the bridge, where it returns to the instrumental of a pop song like earlier before in the song. The instrumental of the chorus is the same as the hook in the beginning with the exchange between distinctive whistle sounds and snaps. The hook also begins around the same time with its catchy lyrics and rhymes, “ Make ’em whistle like a missile/Bomb, bomb/ Every time I show up, blow up (uh).” The first verse begins with light and feminine vocals and then a tight rap before the instrumental changes into a pop-like song with its percussion and guitar melody combination and as it gets closer to the chorus, there is an increase in clap beats. The song begins with a gentle whisper, “ Hey boy,” and is immediately followed by a hip-hop beat made of snaps accompanied with a melody of whistling. BLACKPINK, a female quartet, has finally made their highly-anticipated debut with two music videos, “ WHISTLE” or in Korean, “ 휘파람” and “ BOOMBAYAH,” in Korean – “ 붐바야“, part of their first single album, Square One.
