Mmm, its a 5 for me. Not really my style

I expected that to be honest. It’s not one of my personal favorites either, so no worries.

7 - Pretty good, wish it was punchier in some parts.

The meaning of the song is awesome though... maybe something I can relate to at this moment.

One of the first times I heard someone say this about a Stary Kids song, but I'm not complaining.

It really is. Their song meanings never disappoint. I'm sorry to hear that though, that must be rough.

I'll give this an eight. I like how aggressive it is, since that's the type of sound they go for, so it really feels like one of their songs. The singing parts are much needed (in my opinion) though, to break up all those rap parts and keep it from being too much. The meaning is really nice (wake up and find yourself), but that's always the case with them, so no surprise there. It's almost kind of funny how aggressive Changbin's parts are and how soft Seungmin's are in comparison, but I'm inclined to think that actually just strengthens the message itself.

i gave it a 9, it started slow then picked up, i really really like this song. I can see myself listening to it more than once.

I can see why, it seems like your type of song.
