Oooh, I found out about Jukebox too late last year, so I'm really glad to see it's running this year!

I've also just realised all my noms this year are East Asian songs, oops, but they're all mainstream songs anyway:
TT - Twice (Music Video) (Translated lyrics)

Knock Knock - Twice (Music Video) (Translated lyrics)

Sweet Refrain - Perfume (Music Video) (Translated lyrics)

風生水起 - 農夫 (FAMA) ft. 麥玲玲 (Music Video)
When I last checked, there's no English translation so I'll provide one if I do decide to nominate it. To sum up the song, it pokes fun at people seeking fortune tellers because of how badly they think their life is going. So there's a guy who thinks he's never going to get lucky and wondering why some people are born with silver spoons in their mouth; then there's a meta part about FAMA wanting to become celebrities (and getting better seats at award ceremonies); and someone wondering when they'll be a famous footballer. Mak Ling Ling, the woman featured in the song, is a famous feng shui expert in Hong Kong, so her verses contain little bits of physiognomy advice, and she sort of reads FAMA's fortunes, so it might sway into RPF territory a little here...
