Why English songs like “Boys Like You” Itzy and “Life’s Too Short” Aespa all flop?

    The songs sound very teen pop, easy to listen and targeted for the US yet both flop in streams. What went wrong?

    Approved the thread.

    Cause teen pop isn't popular in the U.S.

    Aespa enter rhe top 50 of US pop radio and stay there for weeks soni wouldn't call this such a flop

    Just like Twice, Korean Girl Groups trying to promote English stuff in the west ends in failure.

    The songs are very dated.

    both songs give tiktok teenage girls vibes, like bella porch sstuff its no surprise they flopped. both songs are good as a side song in the album but not a push to the us fans

    Boys like you should've smashed. It's all good. Itzy are just starting. This was a practice shot.

    Aespa would have done better w an English Next Level. NJ should release Attention in English. I don’t the labels understand actual US taste, they seem very behind on trends.

    I hear Attention a couple of time on Australian radio (usually as part of triple j DJ mixes) and it doesn’t stick out in an awkward way. The English might be part of the issue here

    because the songs are dated, formulaic and don't stand out. they should have tried something more kpop to stand out
