10/10. A perfect Stray Kids song. It has a summery, tropical feel to it which I love. The music video is really blue and really cute. There's so much symbolism in the music video. The mirrors looking at Han, but not inside of him. Hyunjin peeling off the band-aid. Then standing up tall on top of the white platform. I don't even know where to begin. All of these strengthen the message of the song for me. If people don't understand you and your plans, to the point where they mock you for it, just ignore them and rise above them. Also, when they stand in front of the camera, it shows how people are watching them, but not hearing them, so they gave up talking while the camera is on them. Really, I could go on and on.

Also, so many scenes are so carefree. Running on the beach, jumping around, playing with fireworks, smiling, hugging each other and so on. On top of that, the beat sounds faintly tropical to me, which inherently makes this song even more carefree and cements the message even more. Just don't care. Be carefree and do what you want. Their singing is great here and they look ethereal. I even like the rap parts as well, and they fit in with the song well (to me). There are literally no flaws with this song and I love it and the music video so, so much. More people need to be talking about it.

Another thing to note is that most songs that have a message of "ignore other people, do what you want" tend to be much more loud or aggressive. This feels firm, but soft at the same time. They don't sound angry, but they do sound determined. I kind of like that, since it's different from most songs with this message, and because that's more the tone that I have in reality and I consider to be more realistic to myself.

9. Yes..now this is my jam. The only thing I wish was it had a more stronger and more stand out chorus, the song is good throughout but I can't exactly point out which is the chorus.

I knew it would be. Ah, I can understand that. I think the chorus is from about 1:09 to 1:46 (in the music video).

Added to my library lol. I've almost doubled my Stray Kids music since you started this

Then I must be doing something right. That made me very happy to read by the way.

it's a 5 for me, it's a bit too slow for my tastes but the vocals are nice. I don't love it and i don't hate it!

It's better than saying you hate it, so I'll take it.
