"My Pace" is a song recorded by South Korean boy group Stray Kids. It is the second and title track from their third extended play I am WHO?. The music video was released on August 6, 2018.

Background

My Pace is a hip-hop genre song that contains the bold message of "I will go my own way". The lyrics emphasize the meaning of "Everyone has their own pace, and it's okay to go at that pace, trust yourself" which comforts the anxiety that comes from comparisons with others. It is characterized by the harmony of two sounds, cool hip-hop and intense rock, to exude powerful energy.

As said by Changbin, the title track sends a message about going towards your dream in your own pace and not comparing yourself to others.

According to Felix, the point choreography of the song is when they open their index and middle fingers and move them around.

Nananananana

아 이게 아닌데

Nananananana

그래 이거지 let’s go

Nananananana

쟤처럼 되고 싶어 부러워

yes I’m

부러워

yes I’m

반의반이라도 닮았으면 난 좋겠어

우스워

내가

우스워

내가

누군가와 날 비교한다는 게 너무 우스워

하지 마 하지 마

그런 비교 따윈 의미 없잖아

그러지 마 stop it now

그냥 넌 지금 너의 길을 가면 돼

인정하기 싫지만

옆을 보게 되잖아

앞서간다고 먼저 가는 건 아냐 baby

저 멀리 보고 take your time

조급할 필요 없어 my pace

비교 따윈 하지 마

천천히 달려도 괜찮아

나의 길을 따라 my lane

급한 맘 내려놔

앞만 보고 달려가

You ready, let’s go

Nananananana

Just stay in my lane

Nananananana

아 근데

또 남을 쳐다봐 그리고 나를 봐

뭔가 나보다 하나씩은 더 잘난 것 같아

왜 일까 na 왜 일까 uh

자꾸 보게 돼 나도 모르게

모르고 고르는 선택의 연속 이거라도 뭐라도

해볼까 나만 뒤처질까

불안감이 계속 나를 조르거든

다른 애들 봐 다른 애들 봐

난 다른 애들관 다른 애들관

다르다고 말은 하지만 내 빈 잔에 욕심만 가득

인정하기 싫지만

옆을 보게 되잖아

앞서간다고 먼저 가는 건 아냐 baby

저 멀리 보고 take your time

조급할 필요 없어 my pace

비교 따윈 하지 마

천천히 달려도 괜찮아

나의 길을 따라 my lane

급한 맘 내려놔

앞만 보고 달려가

난 아직 나의 목적지가 어디인지는 몰라

I don’t know

저기 결승선의 내 모습이 어떤 모습일지 몰라

I want to know

하지만 일단 내 앞에 길을 달려

고민은 다음 갈림길에서

그때까지는 자꾸 나의 옆을 돌아보지 마

잊지마 my speed, my lane, my pace

조급할 필요 없어

[Woojin/Chan]my pace
[Woojin/Chan]비교 따윈

하지 마

[Woojin/Chan]천천히 달려도 괜찮아

나의 길을 따라 my lane

급한 맘 내려놔

앞만 보고 달려가

You ready, let’s go

This isn’t right

Nananananana

Yes, this is it, let’s go

Nananananana

I wanna be like him, I’m jealous

, yes I’m

jealous

, yes I’m

I wish I was half of half of him

So funny, so funny

It’s so funny how I compare myself with others

Stop it, stop it

No use in comparing

Don’t do that, stop it now

Just go on your own way

I don’t wanna admit it

But I keep looking next to me

Just cuz someone’s ahead doesn’t mean they’re first, baby

Look at the big picture and take your time

No need to rush, my pace

Don’t compare

It’s alright to go slowly

Go on your own path, my lane

Put down your impatience

Just keep looking forward

You ready, let’s go

Nananananana

Just stay in my lane

Nananananana

Hey but

I keep looking at others and then I look at myself

Seems like they’re all better than me

Why? Why?

I keep looking without knowing

A cycle of making decisions without knowing

But I should do something, what if I’m the only one who’s behind?

Anxiety keeps begging me

Look at the others, look at the others

I say that I’m different from them, them

But only greed fills up my empty glass

I don’t wanna admit it

But I keep looking next to me

Just cuz someone’s ahead doesn’t mean they’re first, baby

Look at the big picture and take your time

No need to rush, my pace

Don’t compare

It’s alright to go slowly

Go on your own path, my lane

Put down your impatience

Just keep looking forward

I still don’t know where my destination is

I don’t know

I don’t know how I’ll be at the finish line

I want to know

But first, let me go on my way

I’ll deal with the worries at the next crossroads

Until then, stop looking next to you

Don’t forget, my speed, my lane, my pace

No need to rush,

[Woojin/Chan]my pace
[Woojin/Chan]Don’t

compare

[Woojin/Chan]It’s alright to go slowly

Go on your own path, my lane

Put down your impatience

Just keep looking forward

You ready, let’s go

Nananananana

Just stay in my lane

Nananananana
