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

I really hope we get it one day soon.

We're never getting it But i believe typa girl could have been bigger and i'll die on this hill!!!

Quote from YouChanDoThis

B-but I like that song!

It's okay, not saying people can't/shouldn't like it..just that it's the epitome of "basic" pop song

Quote from centen

How much were these songs even promoted in the west? Because, at least in my state, I heard zero buzz about either of them.

I also think SM acted too late on Life's Too Short. That should have been released right after their Coachella performance.

I don't think they were promoted well. But i also don't think they were very well received even among kpop fans..but who knows what could have happen with promo.

I agree with the last part of your comment. They should have..

I’ll die on that hill with you. One of the best songs on Born Pink by far.

Ohhhhhh, I see. Yeah, you have a point there.

And that's okay too..why change a recipe you know works well lol

Quote from Golden_Wishes

SM has forced Life's Too Short on every supermarket and convenience store in America. Aespas still getting those checks regardless

Queens of supermarkets and convenience stores

it is not easy to break into the u.s market. just dropping a song guarantees nothing. all u.s hits have massive backing by major labels. nothing is organic even if they want you to believe it is.

Yep that's exactly what i was saying when talking about Gayle's song lol

Just because a song is in English doesn't mean everyone's gonna like it or it's charting....

Of course.
