AHHH I MEAN I SECRETLY LOVE IT YEAH

That's more like it.

I just realized I never gave this song my own review, so it's time to fix that. First of all, let's establish that the original version is better just so we're all on the same page. This one feels less cohesive to me, and it's up to you whether that's a good or bad thing, or just how big of an issue it really is.

The instrumental in the chorus is a mixed bag for me. From roughly 1:00 to 1:13 or so I think, it sounds very "one note at a time", but once it starts to sound more normal-ish starting at around 1:15, it sounds SO much better and I love how that part sounds. That being said, both parts sound very unique, so props to them for that.

The YOH~ part is a bit funny, and Changbin and Han's back and forth rap is seriously impressive. Also, I like how it was like they were encouraging the trainees near the end. That was sweet. I also like how they changed the lyrics and a lot of parts in the song so it became like a new song, but still kept some of the most iconic parts. Not a bad song by any means, but will probably almost never seek it out, and I do prefer the original for actually sticking to one cohesive goal. This sounds like they had a ton of great ideas, and they work decently together, but not as great as in other songs. I'm glad this was released, but not in a more traditional way.

I guess I'll give this song a 7. That's what I've been giving a lot of their songs so far that I feel this way about (not terrible, but there are better and I almost never seek it out).
