"Pretty Savage" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group BLACKPINK. It is the third track in the group's first studio album The Album, following song "Ice Cream" and before "Bet You Wanna".
The song is described as being "impressive with simple but addictive rap parts and explosive drop parts on top of a rhythmic bass and sensuous trap beat. It is a song where BLACKPINK's unique girl crush explodes, who is pretty as the title but not just pretty. In the song, the girls express the things that have happened throughout their careers, especially about the hate they have received, the 4 girls rush to respond to their haters and receive the criticism as a compliment."

Lyrics

Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
아이 창피하다가도 멍석 깔면 바름
Born skinny, bitch 암만 살쪄도 난 마름
F boys, not my boys 싹둑싹둑 자름
우리 이름 틀린다면 뚜두뚜두 맞음
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
All up in it, make it lit, like
(Oh-oh-oh-oh)
또 이 어려운 걸 해내지
우린 예쁘장한 savage
Bah-dah-bah-bah
Bah-dah-bah-bah
Got 'em blind can't find me, I'm outta sight (Sight)
If you mad stay mad, we not alike (Uh-uh)
짠 하고 나타나면 카펫부터 깔음
BLACK 했다 PINK 했다 내 맘대로 바꿈

All up in it, make it rain, like

웃어주지만 마냥 약하진 않아
And I wish you would (Wish you would)
비바람이 불수록 더 높이 날아

Uh-huh, uh-huh
Uh-huh, uh-huh

It seems similar, no, we are different from the start
We are pretty shameless, but we're the best on the stage
Born skinny, bitch, even if I gain weight, I'm dry
F boys, not my boys, cut in slices
If you get our name wrong, hit you with du-ddu-du-duu
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
All up in it, make it lit, like
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
I make this difficult thing again
We are pretty savage
(Ooh) Bah-dah-bah-bah
(Ooh) Bah-dah-bah-bah
Got 'em blind can't find me, I'm outta sight (Sight)
If you mad stay mad, we not alike (Uh-uh)
S-A-V-A-G-E, keep it pretty, pretty savage
If you're salty, lay down the carpet first
I was black, I was pink, I can shapeshift if I want
Your jealousy is the problem, maybe I'm the problem
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
All up in it, make it rain, like
(Oh, oh-oh-oh)
I make this difficult thing again
We are pretty savage
We some pretty savage
(Ooh) Bah-dah-bah-bah
(Ooh) Bah-dah-bah-bah
Got 'em blind can't find me, I'm outta sight (Sight)
If you mad stay mad, we not alike (Uh-uh)
S-A-V-A-G-E, keep it pretty, pretty savage
Smile, but not weak
And I wish you would (Wish you would)
The rain and wind blows, the higher it flies
I got nothin' left to say to you
If you want, I'll show you attitude
Even if you don't say anything, you know everything
You know
