this song has finally (!) fully broken me... i'm so into all of it now

can't wait to hear their 1st mini album
now that next level is a hit it's coming sm, right???

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

you kept listening to it didn't you?

[giriboy.livejournal.com]

lol, no! i don't even have 10 plays on it. it got stuck in my head at work tho

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

I still feel like it's a gigantic mess aside from the added parts but saw this over the weeekend - https://twitter.com/BEYSMANl/status/1406323345482731526/retweets/with_comments

and admittedly softened on the song because I was so amused

If Megan Thee Stallion had photocards I would collect ALL OF THEM

i hated it so much when it first came out but i actually like it now, it's definitely a grower, congrats aespa

song is trash but get it

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Happy for them but I really hope this doesn't inspire a sonic copycat trend because the song is still ass.

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

Yea if we get more songs like this, then that will successfully start pushing me away from kpop lol or I’ll just stick to indie. It just does nothing for me

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

samesies.

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

i do not have any intention to listen to the song again but still happy for them! hoping that i'll like their next song lol

[suggestivepeach.livejournal.com]

Parts of the song grew on me but as a whole it’s still… questionable. Congrats tho! 🎉

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

It also peaked at number 1 on melon. glad it happened so fast for them because the criticisms were so ott.

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

this song is a mess, i hate seeing sm's lazy asses validated. those 45 seconds that make no sense in the song are freaking amazing, they really could have written something new and good around it instead.

Wow!!

&& I looked up the lyrics and while I appreciate a cool SM concept, letting it leek so much into the lyrics is bad move. Imgine hearing Karina's rap for the 1st time as a non-fan 😵

[dior-chic.livejournal.com]

Congrats girls on the #1 on melon and the successful MV!

I don’t care about the song though and TBH. I feel like this song is doing well…because it’s the Fast & Furious song. Yea I know there are switch ups in the song but the most popular part is literally the part sampling Fast & Furious soundtrack. Idk it cheapens it for me since F&F is a beloved franchise around the world so I feel like people were gonna have a soft spot regardless. Idk so currently not impressed. Was hoping Heize or Brave Girls would’ve gotten #1 first. But hey at least it’s not Butter lol

[theweebdream.livejournal.com]

Hate to admit it but I’ve actually listened to this song more than once…trash but gets stuck in your head lol. Good for them!!

[cosmicdaze.livejournal.com]

i like all the parts separately but put together the song is just a mess
congrats to them tho

[em-cavey.livejournal.com]

Accidentally heard this song for the first time a while ago and I genuinely do not “like" it, it's garbage nonsense, but I keep murmuring I’m on the nexxxxt le-vㅡㄹ to myself and I can’t stop listening to it. I’ve seen a bunch of knets saying the song is “seeping in” despite themselves and I get it lmao. SM is onto some devil magic

[mattemate.livejournal.com]

im interested to see what they'll do next tbh

i def shit on the song when it came out but yeah im hooked now. i dont listen to it a lot, but do find the "beat drop" portion of the song stuck in my head alllllll the time for no reason.

[lolknope.livejournal.com]

I have no room to talk I had this song on repeat while applying for jobs and now my phone is ringing off the hook with interviews and job offers 😂

Aespa is helping me get to the neXtt levUlL on my career lol

[ostsiberia.livejournal.com]

Now that I'm unemployed, maybe playing Next Level on repeat is exactly what I need to do

[falling-cookie.livejournal.com]

I'm happy for them even though it took a while longer than I would've thought! ITZY got there so much quicker but these are the two top groups of the generation, so I'm happy either way.

Also, I like the song. I knew it was a F&F mashup but I never heard the original one. The hook stays in my head constantly.

[ohlookshiny.livejournal.com]

yep got stuck in my head, it's a total earworm

i didn't expect it to blow up this much though, good for them. even no.1 on melon. now give me that album sm.

[xoxkenzxox.livejournal.com]

for this trash song? really? I just can't....I gave it 2 listens and couldn't do any more. Even the lives didn't save this song for me.
