Stay & Listen: Day 7 / Alien ~ Han Jisung

Hello! Let's listen to and review today's Stray Kids song. Please vote in the poll how you would rank it, with one being the worst, and ten being the best. Then, if you would like to, I encourage you to leave a comment below explaining what you liked and disliked about the song. Feel free and open the spoiler labeled "Song Details" below to learn more information about the song, such as arranging, composing and writing credits, as well as a short summary of my interpretation of the meaning or message of the song. My interpretation may not be considered correct, because lyrics often have multiple different meaning and interpretations of them, so please take my interpretation with a grain of salt. Enjoy the song!

Feel free and let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from the taglist at any time and I will happily do so. If you have any questions about the series, let me know and I will be more than happy to answer them. Also, if you have any feedback for me on how I can or should improve this series, I would love to hear it, so I can take it into consideration. Have a great day/night!

The first solo/sub-unit song on this list. This is easily a 9 or above and I won't hear otherwise from anyone. Perfection. If you are someone who can listen to all of the lyrics and not cry, I applaud you. They hit very close to me, and I don't even suffer from the same things he does. They're just really relatable and well written. I also love how he shifts between singing softly and slightly aggressively. It's as if he's angry at the world and wants to let it all out but holds it in so he doesn't become even more of an outcast. Plus, his emotions while singing it sound so raw and pure. I can practically hear the sadness, resignment, disappointment, worry, insecurity and anger in his voice. Also, he wrote this song himself, as you can see in the song credits, and helped to produce it too, so it's really "his" song if that makes sense, due to how personal it is to him and how involved he was in making it.

The only, and I mean only, thing holding it back from a perfect ten for me is that it isn't always my go to song. I do like listening to it and listen to it a lot, but there are a very small handful of songs (maybe a dozen or so) I would rank above this one, and listen to more, so I need to consider that.

Its a really nice song and i love the lyrics

The lyrics hit way too hard. I'm not okay.

I'm just kidding, I'm fine, but you get my point.

Quote from kittykitka

It's eh

Again, not bad, but not good either

I’m going to pretend I never saw this comment to preserve my sanity.

Quote from kittykitka

Do you care about negative reviews?

I can stop posting, If I don't really like the song

No, of course not! I’m just teasing you. In fact, I already expected you to be tasteless so if anything, you didn’t disappoint.

Oh, first song in this serious that I really like.

This type of song is just up my alley. I love fast rhyme melancholic beats with good lyrics and rapping.

8/10

Same here. Don’t get me wrong, I thought the earlier songs were fine, good even, but this is the first one I like a lot so far, so we’re on the same page there.

I’ll keep that in mind.

Yeah I actually don't have much Stray Kids song, my taste was much different when I first got into kpop (but this was also when I first checked out Stray Kids) and this song would had been a pass before but now is the style I like.

So its odd because all the Stray Kids songs I have now I don't like anymore and I need new songs to replace the old ones, this is the first song I've downloaded from them in awhile and hopefully more to come.

My music taste has also evolved quite a bit, so I understand.

That is odd! Yay! Don’t worry, the best is yet to come. They have a wide variety of songs and something for everyone, so I’m sure you’ll find more songs you like from the later as well.

Like jisoo said: Not bad but not good

But I'm tasteless so take my opinion with a grain of salt

Fair enough. At least you liked All In a lot, so I'll let this slide.

anything han does is a 10...he is definitely an all arounder

He sure is! Glad we're on the same page when it comes to this song. Truly a masterpiece.
