“Cookies I made. It’s so soft (what?) I keep thinking of you (ayy)”; “If you want it, you can get it”; “(Keep) looking at my cookie. The scent is different (taste it), one bite is not enough (uh)”; “Take it, don’t break it, I wanna see you taste it.”

These are few lines from girl group NewJeans’ debut lead single Cookie, which, according to the group’s agency Ador, is a song for fans “made with a sincerity as that of baking a cookie.”
