IMO, this is the best thing SM station has released so far. Her rapping is still not great, but her singing was nice, the lyrics are great and the production is top-notch. I really like this!
I'm glad the video comes with subtitles, some lyrics were moving and it's obviously personal. But I wished she would have been singing during the verses... She sounds great on the chorus
I like it. I wish there would have been a bit of Korean in it bc it might affect her sales. Plus I like that Amber is being more open about all the shit she's gotten for being her. It's also the most interesting SM Station release so far bc we've gotten a LOT of ballads and Korean ballads send me to sleep
I like the chorus the most, it's catchy as hell. Do wish she had sang the verses and not rapped them. She mentioned on twitter that this song is really dark and personal for her.

Awww I thought this was really nice. I wish, just like everyone else, that she'd have sung more than rapped, and it could've been something as beautiful as.. beautiful lol. And the video does look pretty raw and I wish Amber would make better use of her singing skills cuz that's what she's better at. The lyrics are touching and gripping a little at my heartstrings. </3
This is pretty boring, and her rap is wildly embarrassing. It's interesting to me that everyone likes her singing so much because it's pretty basic. I wouldn't call her bad by any stretch, but there's nothing stand out about it for a solo imo. She's better at singing vs. rapping no doubt but she's just about one of the most awful rappers out so that's no surprise there.
I'm glad the song is close to her and I'm glad she was able to put it out for that at least. Kinda wish someone else had performed it, seems more suited for a band that could pull a Korean Linkin Park or something.
I like it. But I preferred the singing parts to the rapping so much more. I like her singing voice and prefer it more to those that are Kpop's female powerhouses, tbh.
I wonder how many people like the song and how many people just feel like they'd be a bad person if they didn't like it because it's about her real struggles. It's nice she wants to do more but she needs to work on her lyrics...without her explanation/back story this song wouldn't stand on its own
I love how everyone at Omona just becomes a critic. Have a little heart people. Humility doesn't make you weak or a suck-up, it makes you human.
Her singing is her strong point and this song clearly means a lot to her. She is still improving as a musician so keeping it safe is understandable. I liked it.
I liked it. Amber's talented (the fact that her singing voice is so sweet appeals to me greatly) and I like that she's getting more and more opportunities to write and produce music since that's only going to make her better. However, the lyrics are kinda... vague. idk if she did that purposefully so you could input your own struggles, but it lacks the power to really be impactful.
Also, she looks great! She gets cuter and cuter the more I see her!
I was excepting this worst because of the comments. But it wasn't that bad. Honestly if I would have added something, I would have added Chester from linkin park so he could do the chorus. It needs a screamer and a heavy guiatr. Then I probably would have been sold on it.
