Thinking I should let you know right away
I don't mind you hanging on me
But trying to be my man, boy, not today
You just gotta know your place
You can be my, you can be my keychain, there you go
Keep me on your hip, when you see me, you like
What up, though?
You know if you follow, I'ma take you where you wanna go
I'll go where you want, so
Tell me if you with it, though
You can be my, you can be my keychain, there you go
Keep me on your hip, when you see me, you like
What up, though?
You know if you follow, I'ma take you where you wanna go
Clip it fast and flip it, stack it
I can't wait to show you off
(Oh, oh, oh) You can be my, you can be my, you can be my keychain
(Oh, oh, oh) You can be my, you can be my, you can be my keychain
(Oh, oh, oh) I can tell that you want me by the way that you on me
(Oh, oh, oh) You can be my, you can be my, you can be my keychain
I don't mean to shake
But I got a couple namesakes just in case
Don't get too comfortable, I don't want you picking up your face
Can't give you combinations or the keys to the safe
Connected to my waist
Baby, you can hold the key
You can be my, you can be my keychain, there you go (There you go)
Keep me on your hip, when you see me, you like
What up, though?
You know if you follow, I'ma take you where you wanna go (Tell me where you wanna go)
Tell me if you with it though
(Oh, oh, oh) You can be my, you can be my, you can be my keychain
(Oh, oh, oh) You can be my, you can be my, you can be my keychain
(Oh, oh, oh) I can tell that you want me by the way that you on me
(Oh, oh, oh) You can be my, you can be my
(Keep, keep, keep, keep) Keep me on your hip, keep me on your wrist
I go with all the fits, plus, keys to the whips, vroom
Swing through, teeth like Labubu
Bling like the jewels decorated on your Miu Miu, ooh, let's get it
Swing 'round your belt loop (Ooh, that's tight)
Buckle up, buckle up (Boo, let's ride)
You're jiggling, baby, and it's wiggling, baby, coming with you, little baby, I'll be by your side
Something like them dog tags, gotta push your start, so we all gas
So many keys, I got a hall pass
When you hang like me, you can talk that, woo
(Oh, oh, oh) You can be my, you can be my, you can be my keychain
(Oh, oh, oh) You can be my, you can be my, you can be my keychain
(Oh, oh, oh) I can tell that you want me by the way that you on me
(Oh, oh, oh) Oh, the way that you
You can be my, you can be my, you can be my keychain
Lagu "Keychain" menggambarkan bagaimana seseorang ingin selalu berada di dekat orang yang dicintai, tapi tidak mau terikat dalam hubungan yang serius. Karena itu, ia dan doi menawarkan diri untuk menjadi "keychain" atau "gantungan kunci."
Selayaknya gantungan kunci, seseorang tersebut akan selalu berada di dekat sang pemilik, baik ditaruh di tas maupun dikaitkan di lubang sabuk. Dengan menjadi benda ini, ia juga bakal mengikuti ke mana pun pemiliknya pergi dan tidak terpisahkan.
Lagu "Keychain" merupakan bagian dari original soundtrack film K-POPS! yang diproduksi, disutradarai, dan dibintangi oleh Anderson .Paak sendiri. Selain itu, kolaborasi ini juga bukan hanya sekadar kerja sama antara kedua artis. Lewat lagu "Keychain" ini, penggemar akan melihat bagaimana warna khas hip-hop, R&B, dan funk ala Anderson .Paak berpadu apik dengan gaya musikal aespa yang edgy dan futuristik.
Sejak diumumkan, kolaborasi aespa dan Anderson .Paak ini telah menarik perhatian penggemar masing-masing. Tak perlu menunggu waktu lama, lagu "Keychain" sudah bisa didengarkan melalui berbagai platfrom streaming musik mulai Jumat (27/2/2026) pukul 14.00 KST atau 12.00 WIB. Perilisan OST tersebut juga bersamaan dengan penayangan perdana film K-POPS! di bioskop Amerika Utara, lho.
