"You Never Know" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group BLACKPINK. It is the eighth and final track of the group's first studio album, The Album.
The song is described as "standing out with the singing power of BLACKPINK. The emotional lyrics and melody harmonize with the minimalist arrangement to convey the message of the song even deeper." The track follows the theme of never knowing what’s going on beneath the surface and coveys the message to not judge a book by its cover.

Jisoo Jennie Rosé Lisa
밤은 왜 더 어두울까
It keeps bringing me down
아마 들리겠지 머지않아
I've heard enough, I've heard enough
아직 나는 그대론 걸
내가 걸어가는 이 길을 꿈꾸던
그때 그대로, 그때 그대로
내 매일을 춤추던
You'll never know 엉켜버린 내 끈
'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see
가끔 나를 잡고 괴롭히지만
그럴수록 I'ma shine, baby
I've been all over my head
Wonderin' if I gotta try and pretend
저 빛이 더 밝아질수록
내 그림자도 길어지는데
너무 눈이 부셔올 때
아직 나는 그대론 걸
내가 걸어가는 이 길을 꿈꾸던
그때 그대로, 그때 그대로
내 매일을 춤추던
You'll nevеr know 엉켜버린 내 끈
'Cause everybody sees what thеy wanna see
가끔 나를 잡고 괴롭히지만
그럴수록 I'ma shine, baby
가라앉으면 안 돼
나도 잘 알아
구름 건너편엔
아직 밝은 해
다 비워내고 웃을 수 있게
보기 싫었던 나와 마주할래
난 기억해, so I'll be okay
파란 내 방 한가득 꽃이 피게
You'll never know 엉켜버린 내 끈
'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see
가끔 나를 잡고 괴롭히지만
그럴수록 I'ma shine, baby
Bameun wae deo eoduulkka
It keeps bringing me down
Ama deulligetji meojianha
I've heard enough, I've heard enough
Ajik naneun geudaeron geol
Naega georeoganeun i gireul kkumkkudeon
Geuttae geudaero, geuttae geudaero
Nae maeireul chumchudeon
You'll never know eongkyeobeorin nae kkeun
'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see
Gakkeum nareul jabgo goerophijiman
(Geureolsurok) I'ma shine, baby
I've been all over my head
Wonderin' if I gotta try and pretend
Nado jal moreuneun nal
Nae geurimjado gireojineunde
Neomu nuni busyeool ttae
Ajik naneun geudaeron geol
Naega georeoganeun i gireul kkumkkudeon
Geuttae geudaero, geuttae geudaero
Nae maeireul chumchudeon
You'll never know eongkyeobeorin nae kkeun
'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see
Gakkeum nareul jabgo goerophijiman

You'll never know eongkyeobeorin nae kkeun
'Cause everybody sees what they wanna see
Gakkeum nareul jabgo goerophijiman
(Geureolsurok) I'ma shine, baby
Why is the night darker?
It keeps bringing me down
Maybe you can hear it soon
I've heard enough I've heard enough
I'm still the same
I dreamed of this path I walked
As it was then, as it was then
The first time I danced every day
You'll never know, my tangled strings
'Causе everybody sees what they wanna see
Sometimes grabbing me and tormenting me
The more I do, Imma shine baby
I've been all over my head
Wonderin' if I gotta trying pretend
I don't know what day it is
My shadow is getting longer
When it's too dazzling
I'm still the same
I dreamed of this path I walked
As it was then, as it was then
The first time I danced every day
You'll never know, my tangled string
'Causе everybody sees what they wanna see
Sometimes grabbing me and tormenting me
The more I do, Imma shine baby
You can't sink, I know well
I can't fly while looking at the ground
I've been drawing in the picture
Even in the torn places
So I can empty everything and laugh
I remember, so I'll be okay
Make flowers bloom in my blue room
You'll never know, my tangled strings
'Causе everybody sees what they wanna see
Sometimes grabbing me and tormenting me
The more I do, Imma shine baby
