rap NOT NEEDED but she looks amazing and so happy ♡___♡

[thomaswilmoore.livejournal.com]

lmao omg i just posted a comment saying that

[zui-circus.livejournal.com]

First thing that came to my mind was this very Taeyeon-ish.

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

a week late but I just watched the video for the first time and these were my first thought too

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

a week late? this is a whole month + a week late... haha

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

for real?? I thought it was out in July

[thomaswilmoore.livejournal.com]

pretty sweet
love the dance parts of the video, hope they release a dance version

i can imagine the song being sung by jessica

[frequency.livejournal.com]

going on my summer playlist tbh

SHE DONE DID THAT

[citypolaroids.livejournal.com]

i already got jessica vibes from the teaser, but she really looks like her in some shots here. i'm already adding this to my summer bops playlist.

i still can't believe we get beautiful, happy soloist chungha in all of her glory. i've been waiting for this moment since her first appearance on p101. shaking & crying rn

Makes me feel like the summer has officially kicked off.
Chungha giving porpoise to my life...

Sorry. Lol.

Obviously comparisons will be drawn with Taeyeon. It's a summery tropical house bop by a solo female artist with a nice voice. It's the 'Why' of this year. And to that I say, the more the merrier! It's a bright, fun sound that works. Go with it!

Her dancing is killer. This choreo isn't super difficult, but it's easy to see what a careful technician she is in her movement. I was rooting for her so hard from the start of Produce and was thrilled she made it to IOI. Even more thrilled to see her debut solo with a solid production.

Bless you for that pun 🐬

[shinychopstick.livejournal.com]

I like it! Similar to Minzy's solo, I feel like it could have benefited from a stronger bass/textured instrumental or something at the chorus for bigger impact (and I have bass-heavy headphones), but I like the overall melody

also random thought, but I feel like she'd fit in well in the ktown scene with her aesthetics lol

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

Wow!!! Love it :)

[haroobommi.livejournal.com]

it's def a grower
she looks stunning like always

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

i love it!! she looks amazing and the choreo is nice and she executes it really well. i hope this is a hit and she gains a lot of new fans.

she defo sounds like taeyeon at some parts.

is anyone gonna be making any gifs? :)

[annayism.livejournal.com]

would have been nice if they lowered the pitch of the song a bit...she doesn't sound like herself in some parts
she looks gorgeous tho

[chasing-thewind.livejournal.com]

oh i really like it! it's so summer-y!

[fallendaydreams.livejournal.com]

Whiny whiny whiny

not feeling this at all

[sheisagentleman.livejournal.com]

I don't really dig her singing so high, she has such a great voice. And I think it needed something more? It was a little flat, but I like it either way. It'll prob grown on me.

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

i wish the production sound was bigger
and i think the song should be like, a key down?

[springsky.livejournal.com]

Wow came in to say she sounded like taeyeon but y'all beat me to it. I can hear a bit of sica now after reading the comments too. Anyway, I actually really like the song but the rap doesn't add anything of value and there are parts of the chorus that are too high and unpleasant to listen to. I'm bummed bc the verses are pretty nice. I'll see if I can get used to it so I can bop properly but idk.

[by-venoms-sting.livejournal.com]

Idk what I was expecting her voice to sound like, but it wasn't this lol.

edit: i'm glad i'm not the only one who thought of taeyeon and jessica while listening to this lol

[avrgaesthetics.livejournal.com]

i really enjoy her voice, but the key of this song is too high. the mv was gorgeous!

[sanctuairee.livejournal.com]

glad to know i wasn't the only one getting taeyeon vibes visually and vocally, although there's sth off i can't place. granted, i'm not familiar with her singing but there's sth.

it's a cute fun summer song and she looks amazing

[lovebeat-down.livejournal.com]

They should play this in the clubs

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Still trying to figure out if she reminds me more of Taeyeon's or Jessica's solos here lmao. Either way my Sone heart is enjoying it lol.
This is such a fun, light song for summer! I'm going to replay this a lot. I'm glad she debuted with something like that instead of the usual cute (even though I like the usual cute, it wouldn't have fitted her) and hope she'll do well on charts.
I just wished she could have sung lower on the chorus (there's a part that sounds whiny and not really like herself) + plus added some kind of lower layer in the instrumental to balance it out a bit.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Also I hope they'll release a dance ver. of this MV!!

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

It sounds like Jessica singing a tiffany song

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Hahaha I was more thinking about a middle link between Taeyeon's and Jessica's second mini-albums but this could do just as well XD
Three Soshi solos in one! when will our faves lol

[dio-elaclaire.livejournal.com]

i thought she sounded like jess in the beginning and like taeyeon later in the song. then i read the comments... lmao.

anyway, it's a bop. not an eternal jam but a good, solid debut that allows me to expect great things from her in the future. and she looks STUNNING. mv is super pretty, too.

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

i think some of this was out of her range but this is really solid solo debut in all aspects. everyone pls support her and buy her album 💕

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

This looks and sounds like something Tiffany would release

[mariehoesea.livejournal.com]

QUEEN

Glad she got to debut as a solo artist instead of drowning in a group with over 9 members (but tbh she would shine even when in a group with 20+ members)

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

there is something very bothersome about the production, like the voice doesn't fit on the track, it's way too high and it just sounds bad in places. they did her dirty :/
i like the instrumental and the chorus, the mv is very pretty too

[a-cheshire-grin.livejournal.com]

When I saw gifs on tumblr I thought she was Tiffany! xd

MV is gorgeous (give me those summer aesthetics! <3) and the song is a grower!

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

amazing magical talented brilliant magnificent marvelous never done before breathtaking


chungha IS the new queen of summer , sistar should be proud ! the vocals the dance the visuals (that underwater scene was so pretty) and the part where chungha and the dancers just have fun with the choreo towards the middle of the dance was so fun and cute ! im excited to see her perform this i love chungha so much she deserves this ugh

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

chill bop, wish she would sing a key lower tho

[thranduiles.livejournal.com]

echoing the she sounds like taeyeon/jessica comments. it's a cute song tho and im putting it on my summer playlist
but damn that red eyeliner look has got me jealous. i've been hunting for good red eyeliner for a while now lol

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

this is nothing special, imo. the production on the song reaaally bad & i wish it was lower. it sounded pitchy in a lot of parts and i almost turned it off midway thru. i wanted something more uptempo from her :( like, a legit dance track, lol

her dancers all being a shade or three darker than her kinda ruined the mv for me, too

[theharleyquinn.livejournal.com]

Song is good but her vocals are distracting. I can hear the strain all over the chorus. She does sound creepily like Taeyeon except less pleasant.

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

I can imagine it's perfect for the summer even though it's winter over here. I love the choreo too.

[adachiyuto.livejournal.com]

The production on this song is a total mess. I know Chungha's a queen though and will deliver all the way eventually.

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

I love the song and I'm happy that Chungha has debuted! I just wish it wasn't so high in pitch though.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

i dont like it at all and its mainly because of her voice. sounds like jessica and is too whiny - no thank you

i also saw the dancing video/performance of this and the dance is kind of basic, she deserves better. she's known for hitting the choreo and this one is just meh
