Jinyoung's parts... literally what can I say!! Thank you for never disappointing me and exceeding my expectations every time.
Idk what to think of the song yet, I think it'll grow on me, it wasn't a immediate favorite at first listen but it sounds better each time I listen to it lol.
The choreo looks to have some really neat parts in it, curious to see the cb stages!
Yeah lol to add to my comment, I think I thought at first it was a little too flat all the way thought? I was waiting for a bigger drop at the chorus and more bass, but it's a pleasant listen (especially Jinyoung's voice fits the song SO WELL (also like I anticipated I don't like Mark's speaky part at the bridge lol oops)
Both of Jinyoung's choruses are immaculate and I really like the pre-chorus as well. I'm not quite sure if the verses mesh well — I think the rap bits throw it all a bit off.
I really liked it until Mark’s English rap verse. Other than that, all the other rap parts from all 3 rappers were the most inoffensive they’ve ever been. The chorus was delicious and I can’t wait to see the choreography. Overall a good song
Idk what I was expecting but it wasn't this. This will have to sit for a second. It doesn't immediately hit, but they did some different stuff with the song which is appreciated. Marks spoken part kills the momentum though. Snaps to Jinyoung. Also Jackson and BB parts I actually enjoyed.
Okay I think my first thought was that I was for a more emo cry out bit like IYD and Youngjae's part wasn't as loud as I was expecting, but instead they went for a more chilled song, so it doesn't really go as hard as I feel like it should but I think it is definitely one that I can listen to a lot, I can see it growing on me.
Weak point is Mark's English rap.. like you can't get anymore basic with the lyrics.
The choreo has some really interesting parts, can't wait to see the comebacks!
It's a more mature sound from them and I am liking it!!
So basically what everyone else has been saying so far.
the chorus feels a bit weak, but the choreo seems cool. based on the MV (albeit a little budget) and dance I'll take it as a IYD 2.0. it feels like the song is building up to something, but it never really hits a peak, a little Jus2 feels for me.
Also, it needs more Youngjae!! I was left hanging at his first line, like it felt incomplete (perhaps I was hoping it would mirror JB's first line)
I enjoyed 98% of the song. Like really enjoyed it. But that's because GOT7 know how to slip into a new skin and make it work. They look absolutely gorgeous. It's mature. It's sleek. It's sultry in a way none of their songs have been before. As much as I love their upbeat music I also love when they experiment and I think this hits the spot for the most part (thought Jus2's Focus on Me stays on top when it comes to /any/ boy group release this year).
That being said, I thought I was done with JYP but my disdain for him has hit a new high. I've never seen a producer so vehemently stuck on enforcing HIS sound on a group as I have JYP with GOT7, especially considering JB and Jinyoung have found the golden formula for years now. Why do I say this? Because JB already let it slip his song almost made it before JYP decided it didn't "fit" them well enough. Six years in and they are still being micromanaged when their hoobaes have more control over the title track. If this recurrent theme isn't an ego trip from JYP's part I don't know what is. Fuck him.
I know Mark's lackluster line wouldn't have made it in otherwise. Jinyoung doesn't make mistakes like that and JB learnt after Look. Even Youngjae and Yugyeom /know/ better.
On first listen, I like this just fine. Half of Jackson's rap voice I actually liked, before he added a bit more obnoxious. I can even defend ... like a portion of Mark's input. I don't know if he's no longer working hard, if he's just improved as much as his musicality allows, or if someone is directing him to sound a certain way. He dropped his voice unnecessarily.
All of that said ... visually. I really want to celebrate them, they do look good, however, these 7 b-tches are all as thin as Mark & BamBam and are wearing too much clothing. And not enough eyeliner! It's my damn bday time, and I wanted a little more Monsta X style nekked. Shownu must have had some influence on them.
About Mark's: It's 100% the directing. There is just no way it isn't. He's has done so well in recent comebacks (Eclipse? freaking I Won't Let You Go? Hell, even earlier releases like Fly? That snippet in Nightmare?). The members have the most control over the B-tracks and he almost never sounds this jarring. Every fucking time JYP gets involved some shit like this happens. I'm willing to bet they tried to reason with him regarding him but he didn't listen because he is such a colossal egomaniac.
What's upsetting is that it's not like Mark /can't/ do it. He can and he has done it before but he needs guidance because of his tone. He is a great part of the team and it's upsetting to see people come after him when it's the producer and composer's job to make sure everything is harmonious.
Hell, the "talking rap" is the reason Jackson gave JYP so much shit during A. Ugh.
Ok i love love love this concept. They all look fantastic.
Song wise....I feel like it got worse as it went on. Mark and Bambam really did not sound good. JB is slowly winning more and more of my heart.
I used to really hate Jackson's rapping tone but I'm not gonna lie....I think it sounds fine now? I feel like working with Goldlink/88 rising is doing him some good (I actually really liked 'Rumble' lol)
wow, i like the song a lot, it gives me Charlie Puth vibes. I'm gonna put it on my playlist! Also, i loved all the voice-overlays and harmonies, the song isn't pumped full with instruments/synthesizers, i like that mix!
Mark's english rap-talking sounds extra cheesy since i can understand it.
oh i love this! and the more i listen to it, the more i love it! heheh
i totally didn't expect this song to progress the way it did! i was reading some interview snippets earlier today (before the mv release) and they were all like, we have never done anything like this before!!! and i just kept thinking, well, you kind of did with if you do? but now i see and understand that they were right! it's kinda dark, kinda sexy but in a completely different way than if you do was. i love it!
i was wary after the teaser but jackson's part sounds so good in the context of the song! i feel like towards the end during youngjae's part, the instrumentals/background music is a little too loud for my taste but alright! mark idk to me he remains the black hole of got7. idk what they're telling him or if this is his own doing but his parts more often than not end up being my least fave parts of got7 songs. it always sounds like they shoved his parts in there last minute without adjusting. it just feels out of place.
love the visuals and everything! love the chorus! love the ending pose! looking forward to listening to the rest of the album heheh
-who keeps making bambam sing. - JINYOUNG I WOULD GIVE YOU SO MANY CHANCES - the choreo is so freaking weird, good thing they're all good dancers cause it looks hard to pull off.... - i give it 10/10 for yugyeom looking so handsome and ~cozy~ by the fireplace is this seat taken sir - i don't need to say anything that hasn't already been said about mark's part.

I'm really interested in the choreo, it seems p understated, Im curious how it will look live esp that foot move in the intro
