The song is absolutely gutter trash. smh It's such an insult to 2NE1 that ppl are comparing this song to any of their songs.

PREACH

yaaas queens of conquering america
i've literally been listening to this song the whole day it's such a fun summer song

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

congrats I guess. not at aaall worried that this is going to encourage YG to keep giving them 2NE1 songs instead of letting them develop their own sound. It makes me sad because I actually love these girls and they've got so much potential, pushing them to be the reincarnation of 2ne1 just undermines both groups.

Obv I don't mind ppl liking the song, I don't even think it's bad (bland maybe), I just can't with comments like "what idgi this sounds nothing like 2ne1" I mean, river in Egypt much.

[theharleyquinn.livejournal.com]

mte just when you thought YG couldn't cheapen 2NE1's legacy any more. I think lot of people were reaching when they said Red Velvet's early songs sounded like f(x) rejects, but 2NE1 had too distinct of a sound and song structure to just pass off to another group without it being obvious. I'm sure there are plenty of scrap songs in the basement and he could absolutely make a habit of releasing them as "gifts for the fans" or B-sides because he doesn't want them to go to waste.

UNDESERVED
but i'm always here for women's success, so yay

p.s. pls release lisa's forehead, this is horrendous!

[a-cheshire-grin.livejournal.com]

Out of all their title tracks, "As If It's Your Last" is my least favourite, but good for them!

[kashchanocchi.livejournal.com]

I love this song lol
I think out of everywhere I've read, omona has the most mixed (if not negative) response but that's ok, to each their own

BTW (@ Blinks) we're on our way to most likely being the most viewed kpop mv in 24hr with 7.2M so far right now and we're at 820k Likes already :) and apparently #1 in 16 countries on iTunes

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Future #1 hit, despacito is shaking

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

i love your icon!

saw this on my tl earlier lmao, literally everyone in yg appropriates black culture copies rihanna's style

[otraera.livejournal.com]

They picked a good person to copy lol

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

This is such a fun song, I'm glad to see it doing well, get it girls!!!

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

when will their yg effect wear off like it did w ikon, bc ppl cant be thinking this is good music..

[allsugarfree.livejournal.com]

I took exactly 1 year 9 months and 1 full album for iKon

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

considering that horrendous 'in case you didn't know' is there as well i don't think blackpink making it with a song that isn't some peak musical genius is that shocking

i like the song though. i agree it's bland as heck but it's the brand of bland that works for me, i know it's going to be great to dance to in a club at least :P

i'm gonna be honest with you

it's really freaking exhausting that girlgroups that are topping the charts are getting really bad or just plain boring songs and i have to keep saying 'the song isn't that good but i'm happy for the girls'

signal is plain bad. this one isn't that good either (i actually like it but it's not that good)

mamamoo's song is actually good imo and it's great but they have been doing shitty things for some time now.

i want girlgroups to succeed with good songs like (2ne1 and t-ara used to serve around 2011). faking enthusiasm is just tiring at this point.

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

Gonna have to drive to this on loop when I leave work so it can grow on me, but I'm happy for the girls!

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

will they get some all-kills?
that's the question .... last time i checked mamamoo were blocking them in some charts but above all they seem to be doing fine at #3 on icharts
(fine but not ending bolbbalgan4 and gdragon good marks)

[kashchanocchi.livejournal.com]

there's always this never ending loop where people say "good songs/successful groups don't need all-kills!" and then go on and beg for k-charts to validate their faves

tbh all these achievements beyond korean charts are more than enough to give me peace on bp's career

[luminous-wings.livejournal.com]

It sounds like an Eurovision song. I love it (except for that horrendous rap)!

[little-giant.livejournal.com]

It's not my favourite BP song but it's not nearly as bad as some of the other girlgroup releases we have had this summer.

[sethelaezekiel.livejournal.com]

I think boombayah is worse than this so I'm actually kinda surprised at the overly negative reactions

[mylovebelt.livejournal.com]

It's no PWF, but I really like this song

I'm sure they're going surpass the record of YT views in 24hrs, their views are insane

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

It's like they grow by a million every time I check

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

damn it. i wanted to post a gif, but photobucket is not working....

it's still a bop

[springsky.livejournal.com]

Holy Whitney, they did that! (My phone decided to change shit to Whitney and I allowed it.)

It's not my fave BP song although it's growing on me a little but this is amazing for a GG. I'm loving these big groups like Twice and BP killing it. Hopefully with this momentum they can get some better fresher bops in production. I like Teddy but let's get some producers out of YG for once.

I would die for a Daniel Obi Klein song or something by Jinthoven or that SM bop machine Ryan Jhun. Damn, I'd even take a Brave Bros. or Cha Cha beat, boy. Sad I don't know many female producers but if they don't want to go out of house why not use CL? She proved herself on the Crush album and it's not like she's doing anything right now, amirite?! People already think they sound like 2ne1 so whatevs.

Sorry for the ranting but while I'm here someone fire whoever writes Lisa's raps and if it's her just fml. I think her voice is really cute when she sings tbh! I would listen to a lisa song /shrug.

[saemcrh.livejournal.com]

But if Teddy-produced songs keep succeeding, they're not exactly gonna think they have to reach outside of YG for producers? That kind of realisation comes from flopping.

Supporting this song is enabling him lol.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

jennie is just so powerful

when is her solo coming out

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

"The Baddest Female But Not That One" out in 2020, pls anticipate

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

Good for them slaying the charts

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

My issue with this song is that I think they should have just kept the beat from the teaser throughout the whole song.

I've grown accustomed to hearing 2 to 3 songs in 1, but this one was so jarring. It's like yg couldn't decide if he wanted them to be badass or more cute, so he did a combination of the two which just doesn't work.

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

One (OT?) question I have though

Is it "Blackpink Enter" or "Blackpink Enters"? Idk if I should fix the title or not :P

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

i dunno how old this comment but either works—grammatically i think it'd be enters, tho

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

full Behind The Scenes video is also out but no subs included -_-

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

Eh, I mean it is a pretty fun song I guess. xD
It always kind of amazes me how well YG continues to do. o.o

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

mte at the last line, especially cause of the shitty music all their groups release
but then again, diff strokes for diff folks.
