Kyun tugun mou osaerarenai
Kyun tugun tugun
Knock knock knock
La la la la la love
La la la la la love
La la la la la love
Oh, could this be...?
Even though the sky is perfectly clear
Suddenly, I'm struck by lightning (Already K.O.!)
Just locking eyes with you sent a BIBIBI jolt through me
I've finally found it
Oh why? How strange
Even though "love" can't be seen with the eyes
My Days are starting to fill with color
I don't even know your name yet
But surely you're the heroine
At last, I've met you
This must be destined (It's love!)
The KEY to that door (The KEY!)
Leave it to me (KO1KEYZ!)
At last, I've found you, My love
Come a little closer (KO1KEYZ!)
I was born for you
Hey, won't you turn this KEY?
Fluttering, fluttering, I can't hold it back anymore
Fluttering, fluttering, fluttering, fluttering, fluttering
This feels like love...
(What's your name?)
"Hey, what's your name?" in front of the mirror
(What's your name?)
How many times have I practiced smiling now?
Just saying "Good morning" makes my heart leapAlat & Sumber Daya Penerjemahan
Even though I'm perfect in my dreams
Hey, God, please!
Give someone like me the courage
This must be destined (It's love!)
The KEY to that door (The KEY!)
Leave it to me (KO1KEYZ!)
At last, I've found you, My love
Come a little closer (KO1KEYZ!)
I was born for you
Hey, won't you turn this KEY?
I've never felt
Anything like this before
No matter where I am, I can't help looking for you
When you fall in love, the world always starts to shine
I'll become the KEY that opens your heart
My heart
Fluttering, kyun-kyun♪
Restless, shun-shun♪
Sparkling, run-run♪
I'm in love
The feeling you gave me (It's love!)
Changed the world (It's the KEY!)
We are KO1KEYZ (KO1KEYZ!)
Open the door to love
I'll give your hand a firm pull (KO1KEYZ!)
There's no substitute for you
The "love" you taught me
Fluttering, fluttering, I can't hold it back anymore
Fluttering, fluttering, fluttering, fluttering, fluttering
Judul lagu "KO1KEYZ" diambil dari gabungan kata "koi" (cinta) dan "key" (kunci), untuk menggambarkan momen mendebarkan saat seseorang jatuh cinta pada pandangan pertama. Perasaan ini menciptakan kegembiraan yang sulit dikendalikan. Bahkan, sebelum mengetahui nama sang gebetan, ia sudah yakin bahwa orang itu adalah sosok yang ditakdirkan untuknya.
Untaian liriknya juga menggambarkan tentang sisi positif kasmaran yang tidak sekadar membuat jantung berdegup kecang, tetapi sebagai kekuatan yang dapat membuka peluang baru untuk mengubah hidup seseorang.
KO1KEYZ mendapatkan kesempatan untuk menyapa fans secara langsung sebelum resmi debut. Pada 14 Agustus 2026, mereka membawakan single pra-rilis "KO1KEYZ" versi bahasa Korea di panggung KCON LA 2026, beberapa hari sebelum resmi dirilis secara digital.
Tak hanya itu, Yuki dan kawan-kawan juga membawakan lagu "新世界(SHINSEKAI)" dan "Soda Pop". Penampilan perdana mereka usai menjadi finalis di program survival PRODUCE 101 JAPAN SHINSEKAI langsung mendapat respons positif dari para penggemar musik global.
Meskipun lagunya sudah bisa didengarkan secara digital, single album fisiknya baru akan dirilis penuh pada 7 Oktober 2026. Selain lagu utama "KO1KEYZ", album ini juga memuat lima lagu baru lainnya, yaitu "恋GAME" (Koi GAME)," "Key of Story," "新世界(SHINSEKAI)," "Neko (ねこ)," dan "BLACK ANGEL".
