This is going to shock quite a few people, but this song is a 10/10 for me. Normally, I hate soft and slower songs like this, but this is an exception. First of all, the record sounds in the beginning make it sounds timeless and nostalgic, despite it being released in 2021. It also shows how what they're talking about has been true for a long time, not just for the time being.

Next, their voices are so good! These are two of the members that we don't hear singing as much, but their voices manage to sound so soft and gentle. Especially Changbin, I'm petitioning for more Changbin singing lines as of right now. Felix sounds so good too, and both of their voices fit the song pretty well.

As if that wasn't enough, can we talk about the lyrics? They make me so emotional. I always say that I want a relationship like this, where both people love each other this deeply and truly try to cheer each other up and help each other out like this. Seriously, read them. Their meaning is just too much for me to handle.

This is a soft song done right, and one of my favorite softer songs in all of K-Pop if I do say so myself.

Hmm 4/10

It's not horrible, but not good either

Hate how the instrumental stays the same throughout

Balled adjacent 🤢

I'll take it.

I can actually see why that is a valid complaint, and I respect that.

True, but they (thankfully) didn't go full on ballad with it, so I can forgive them.

KittyQueen Here is the most recent one I have made. Listen to it and give your honest thoughts/vote in the poll. If you don't like it, don't be afraid to say that you didn't like it. In the OP, I also provided some links to all of my previous songs from them I did (I'm going in alphabetical order). You don't need to check the older ones out, but they're easy to find if you want to.

This is a lot of fun. I'll definitely participate. I can't wait for you to do Red Lights. That's an automatic 10/10 for me and totally my style through and through.

That's great! Neither can I! I know a bunch of people like that song, and for good reason.

Quote from KittyQueen

Okay, I just finished listening to the song. This is a first impression review as well because that was my first time listening to this song.

3.5/10

First of all, I have a soft spot for Felix's voice on a track and he sounded great per usual.

In all tho this song falls completely flat for me. A bit boring and repetitive. Don't get me wrong, I love ballads and slow songs as much as I do other styles of music (talkin' old school tvxq ballads) but this isn't one of them. I'd probably nob my head along absent mindedly while sitting at a Cafe but forget it once I leave.

No worries! As much as I love the song, I think your rating/review is actually pretty fair.

Quote from KittyQueen

8! I love it....I love when a song just makes me close my eyes and sway my head...the beat change half way into the song

I had a feeling you’d like this one.

Quote from fdblink

9! I voted before the song finished. The beat change again on the last 3rd of the song got me hyped again

Quote from fdblink

You definitely helped me toss the notation of StrayKids and noise music out the door

Good. That was my mission, so I’m glad I succeeded. Likewise, you also helped me toss out the notion of Twice’s B-sides being only okay. Some of them are actually really great!

Quote from xx-jenn-xx

i gave it a 3 it's a bit too slow for me and felix deep voice is awesome but i'm not sure changbin's rapping and felix deep vocals don't really flow for me here.

I understand. I can see why you’d feel that way. It’s slightly amusing to me though that I love this song, and so does fdblink, but everyone else here (so far anyway) doesn’t.
