Get ready to hit the court with SLAM DUNK (English Translation), ZEROBASEONE’s electrifying pre-release single from their debut full album NEVER SAY NEVER, dropping on September 1, 2025. This EDM-hip-hop banger, powered by basketball metaphors like “Slam dunk, 보여줘, how we play hoop” and “Backboards, 부서져, I’m gonna shoot,” channels the group’s fierce confidence and rule-breaking spirit.
Unlike the youthful sincerity of In Bloom or the romantic depth of CRUSH from YOUTH IN THE SHADE, SLAM DUNK delivers a bold, chant-heavy vibe, with sounds of bouncing basketballs and squeaking sneakers immersing you in the game. Composed by JayJay, YoungChance, and JUNNY, and driven by members Sung Hanbin, Zhang Hao, and Park Gunwook’s dynamic vocals, it’s a rallying cry for dream-chasers. SLAM DUNK feels like a game-winning shot—pure adrenaline! Dive into SLAM DUNK English translated lyrics below, and feel the pulse of ZEROBASEONE’s bold comeback.

Lyrics of SLAM DUNK by ZEROBASEONE IN English Translation
[Chorus: Sung Hanbin, Park Gunwook]
Slam Dunk, Show It Off, How We Play Hoop
Backboards, Shatterin’, I’m Gonna Shoot
Heads Up, Look At Us, How We Break The Rules
Break The Rule, Slam Dunk
[Verse 1: Seok Matthew, Kim Taerae]
Big Scream, Takin’ Over This Court (Uh, Uh, Uh)
Tie My Laces Tight Steppin’ On (Huh)
Tell Me How You Feelin’
Right Before Whistle, We Gon’ Warm It Up
[Refrain: Kim Gyuvin, Han Yujin, Park Gunwook]
Hesitate Lose The Ball (What?)
Dribble, Next, Back Up (Back Up)
Pick And Roll, Dashin’ Fast With The Ball,
Where To Go, Throw, Throw It Down
Keep Your Head In The Game
[Pre-Chorus: Ricky, Kim Jiwoong, Sung Hanbin]
Three, Two, One, Beneath Scream
Among The Crowd Of Countless Faces
It’s Only You I’ve Found
Baby, It’s True
Breathing Is Light No Gravity
Breaking Limits, Jump, You’ll Be Shocked By Me
Every Move Is So Easy
Higher, I’m Walking In The Air
[Chorus: Zhang Hao, Han Yujin, Kim Taerae, Sung Hanbin]
Slam Dunk, Cut, Pass, Dribble Fast, No-look
Left Hand Layup, No Rules
Higher Take Flight, Coming Through
Dribblin’ Down, Dribblin’ Down
Slam Dunk, Show It Off, How We Play Hoop
Backboards, Shatterin’, I’m Gonna Shoot
Heads Up, Look At Us, How We Break The Rules
Break The Rules, Slam Dunk
[Verse 2: Kim Jiwoong, Kim Gyuvin, Han Yujin]
Yeah, Like My Ankle’s Slippin’, Walkin’ (Uh)
Too Fast, Can’t Hold Me Down, No Way (Ooh)
You Can Try To Catch Me, But I’m Long Gone Now
One-on-one, Five-on-one, All The Same (Ooh)
[Refrain: Ricky, Park Gunwook, Sung Hanbin]
Though There’s No Space To Move (So What?)
Step Up, Show Me What You Got (Come On)
Dashin’ Fast With The Ball, Where To Go, Throw, Throw It Down
Keep Your Head In The Game
[Pre-Chorus: Seok Matthew, Zhang Hao, Kim Taerae]
Three, Two, One, Eyes On Me (Eyes On Me)
Among The Crowd Of Countless Faces
It’s Only Me You’ve Found (Hold Up)
Baby, It’s True
Heavy Kicks But I Don’t Care
Breaking Limits, Jump, Watch ’em All Amazed
Every Move Is So Easy (Easy)
Higher, I’m Walking In The Air
[Chorus: Kim Gyuvin, Kim Jiwoong, Sung Hanbin, Kim Taerae]
Slam Dunk, Cut, Pass, Dribble Fast, No-look
Left Hand Layup, No Rules
