“Super Shy” is a lighthearted song about a shy girl who has fallen in love. To this day, it's considered one of NewJeans' biggest hits, alongside “OMG” and “Ditto”.

I'm super shy, super shyI'm super shy, super shy
But wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mineBut wait a minute while I make you mine, make you mine

I wanna tell you, but I'm super shy, super shyI wanna tell you, but I'm super shy, super shy
[Hyein, Minji]
And I wanna go out with youAnd I wanna go out with you
Where you wanna go? (Huh?)Where you wanna go? (Huh?)
Find a lil spot, just sit and talkFind a lil spot, just sit and talk
Looking pretty, follow meLooking pretty, follow me
우리 둘이 나란히You and me side by side
보이지?Don't you see it? (Look)
내 눈이My eyes (Heh)
갑자기 빛나지Suddenly sparkle
When you say, I'm your dreamWhen you say, I'm your dream

About Super Shy
The song was released on July 7, 2023 as a pre-release single for the second mini album “Get Up”, which came out two weeks later.
Actually, Danielle and the others want to tell their crush directly how they feel, but as soon as they're standing in front of him, they suddenly become nervous and shy. But the feelings are so strong that they end up approaching him anyway. Matching the upbeat music, there's a playful and dynamic choreography that was especially well received on social media.
“Super Shy“ became an international hit shortly after its release! Fans uploaded numerous covers of the song, and especially of the choreography, contributing to its success. What's particularly remarkable is how long the hype lasted. “Super Shy” stayed on the American Billboard Hot 100 chart for eight weeks, and on the British Official Singles Chart for as long as nine weeks.
In September 2026, “Super Shy“ reached 900 million streams on Spotify. Previously, NewJeans had only achieved this milestone with “OMG” and “Ditto”.
