이 노래 이야기

화자는 처음엔 상대를 가벼운 "accessories" 정도로 여기겠다 말하지만, 실제로는 거리를 두기가 쉽지 않다. "두근거리는 my heart rate"라는 구절처럼 심장이 반응하는 걸 숨기지 못하면서도, 이 감정을 "little secret"으로 간직하겠다며 겉으로는 쿨한 척을 이어간다.

제목이기도 한 "dopamine"은 통제하기 힘든 설렘과 중독적인 자극을 상징한다. "I think I'm in love"라고 조용히 인정하는 순간과, "다 가짜인 걸 알면서도 널 원해"라는 마지막 토로가 겹치면서, 쿨한 태도 뒤에 숨겨둔 솔직한 마음이 결국 드러나는 구조를 보여준다.
