I'm an orbit and I'm not offended cause is THE TRUTH!
I still like butterfly better cause of other reasons but this is one of their best songs by far (as a whole group)

This song is so cute. The lyrics never make me cringe. But also can the director or editors chill . We don’t need a scene change every second.

Wow, ACTUALLY BALANCED LINES AND SCREEN TIME

Heejin still got plenty while the others got what they deserved, IMAGINE THAT!

is it true that one of the writers is a predator? 😬 i never saw it elaborated on but i just need to know for myself honestly.

i like this song and the korean version a lot, though. truly should've been the title track.

Apparently. He’s also a known dr luke collaborator which is already a bad sign.

[frequency.livejournal.com]

oh yuck. you know what they say about birds of a feather. 😬

Yes; Several of his victims came forward late 2019, he privated his socials and disappeared for awhile. As the two members above have mentioned, he is closely involved with Dr Luke and other producers that have also been exposed as being predators.

Thank you for posting this.

I’ve seen so much love for Star but I’m like ‘...isn’t that the English version of Voice, which a predator worked on?’

I’m glad I didn’t press play, I wasn’t completely sure. Sorry Loona but I’m not supporting this.

thanks for posting that. i won't be playing this song again. 😬

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

Noooo its like, the only LOONA song i really like from after their debut ;-;

[ginger-star.livejournal.com]

It's so beautiful ;______; I love it so much I'm so happppyyyyyyy

[inwazyja.livejournal.com]

This video wasn’t made by Digipedi and it shows. The editing work is really shoddy.

But I love the song, the sets look lovely and the girls are gorge.

[countthesaints.livejournal.com]

Beautiful sets, gorgeous sets.

The editing on this is absolute garbage.

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

Voice/Star was clearly meant to be teh title track and we were robbed

[nefertitii.livejournal.com]

The girls look great and every time i listen to the english version im impressed by their pronunciation.

[mad-nux.livejournal.com]

this is rly way better as the title track but after hearing about the songwriter i change my mind

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

Yea it’s a huge deterrent for me, I’m surprised for other people who know still listen because I can’t.

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

Ugh same. I was so excited listening and seeing snippets on twitter too!

[myungung.livejournal.com]

Same. I must have missed out on the news previously, but I was so hyped for the post title track promos with this song

[allsugarfree.livejournal.com]

This with "Why Not"'s mv would have been so good

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

This song pisses me off so much. I hate that it's one of Loona's best track (but weirdly not picked as a single?) and best line distribution to date, but written by an alleged abuser/frequent dr puke collaborator... why

The editing is this video is a mess but I like the styling and screen distribution, it's a nice change!
Also their English pronunciation is pretty good

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

I’m glad it wasn’t the single than the predator would benefit even more from its success.

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Yes reading about the songwriter made me reconsider everything, before that I was strongly in the "should have been the single!!!" camp. Not anymore. I'm still very conflicted because I had played Voice (the Korean ver.) on spotify quite a lot already, and I still really like the melody... It sucks

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

If you didn’t know previously, I’d never fault anyone for it. I’m sure there’s even more predators on tracks I love, I just don’t know they are since it’s under wraps :(((( but if I do know and I was invested, I’ll try to listen through lyric videos submitted by fans or fan submitted SoundCloud, since an attachment was already made but I don’t need to directly stream from Spotify. But I often I just move on, I have so many songs so I can do without these

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

I wonder if any newsletter has picked it up, sadly I don't think it will get any attention as long as it stays in twitter threads. And even when this kind of abuse get some attention, it's not always helpful - I think we've all heard about Kesha's legal struggles.
I used to have ipods (before I started picking which companies to give my money too as well - ah being a responsible adult is hard) and I'm still mourning the death of my last ipod lol, I could just pirate songs from artists I wouldn't support and play the music on it without any streaming money, that was super simple TT

[myungung.livejournal.com]

The MV was cute, thought the blinding lights felt tacky. Yeojin’s chorus sounded better in English than the chorus. Loved hers and Choerry’s pronunciation. And of course Vivi’s!

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

Wtf I didn't know about the songwriter :/

I love it tbh, as I love Voice, is THE SONG of the mini and one of the best Loona tracks as a whole. They sound really good in english also
