At the end of the popular Netflix animated film "KPOP DEMON HUNTERS", "What It Sounds Like" centers on the emotional reconciliation of the three friends Rumi, Mira, and Zoey.
[Rumi]
Nothing but the truth now
Nothing but the proof of what I am
The worst of what I came from
Patterns I'm ashamed of
Things that even I don't understand
I tried to fix it
I tried to fight it
My head was twisted
My heart divided
My lies all collided
I don't know why I didn't trust you to be on my side
[Rumi]
I broke into a million pieces
And I can't go back
But now I'm seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me
Darkness and harmony
My voice without the lies
This is what it sounds like
[All]
Why did I cover up the colors stuck inside my head?
I should've let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what's underneath
I'll find your harmony
The song we couldn't write
This is what it sounds like
[All]
We're shattering the silence
We're rising, defiant
Shouting in the quiet
"You're not alone"
We listened to the demons
We let them get between us
But none of us are out here on our own
So we were cowards
So we were liars
So we're not heroes
We're still survivors
The dreamers, the fighters, no lying, I'm tired
But dive in the fire, and I'll be right here by your side
[All]
We broke into a million pieces, and we can't go back
But now we're seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me
Darkness and harmony
My voice without the lies
This is what it sounds like
Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what's underneath
I'll find your harmony
Fearless and undefined
This is what it sounds like
[All]
This is what it sounds like
Hey (oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh), hey (oh-oh-oh-oh)
This is what it sounds like
Hey (oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh), hey (oh-oh-oh-oh)
This is what it sounds like
Hey (oh-oh-oh-oh), hey (oh-oh-oh-oh)
This is what it- (sounds like), this is what it-
This is what it sounds like
[All]
We broke into a million pieces, and we can't go back
But now I'm seeing all the beauty in the broken glass
The scars are part of me
Darkness and harmony
My voice without the lies
This is what it sounds like
Why did we cover up the colors stuck inside our head?
Get up and let the jagged edges meet the light instead
Show me what's underneath
I'll find your harmony
Fearless and undefined
This is what it sounds like
My voice without the lies
This is what it sounds like
Fearless and undefined
This is what it sounds like
Truth after all this time
Our voices all combined
When darkness meets the light
This is what it sounds like
About What It Sounds Like
Rumi, Mira, and Zoey together form the globally successful K-Pop girl group "HUNTR/X" and lead a double life: performing on stage by day, hunting demons by night. But when Mira and Zoey find out that Rumi has kept her demonic side hidden from them for years, the close bond between the friends breaks apart.
While the demon boy group "Saja Boys" tries to steal the souls of their fans at a big concert, Mira and Zoey fall into a dangerous trance. Rumi interrupts the performance, openly reveals her demon marks, and admits that it was wrong not to trust her friends. With her voice, she frees Mira and Zoey from the trance. Together, they sing and stand united to face the demons once more!
The film is a huge success: it holds the No. 1 spot on Netflix in 26 countries, and the songs topped the charts worldwide! The music isn't only a hit with K-Pop fans — it's also captivating new audiences, as shown by the millions of views and the worldwide trends on social media.
