mafia was not a bad song the concept itself was just childish and meaningless.

Its just a bit too obvious incase of recent itzy song concepts like mafia game, sneaker shoes, cake cake cake. Jyp picking literally anything as concept for itzy songs at this point

True, dalla dalla, icy, wannabe all where so much better than the recent songs, it started to go down with the cowboy concept of not shy and then jyp just went stupid with song concepts

As illustrated by the comments..

mafia yes

signal no

True I listen to kpop because I am childish soul. When I try to get someone to listen to kpop, except for music released by older groups or solo singers, they say it sounds childish and adolescent.

I still can't figure out what they don't like about the Mafia song. Koreans like songs with worse lyrics. I think Jyp's bad image affects their group as well. There is no other explanation for their dislike.

I imagine you both in a castle, sitting in a room with 19th century furniture, sipping a red Burgundy wine under the portrait of Louis XIV.

Selynn says: my fellow brother! Would you like to listen a composition of the great music, a pure joy of the
perfect melody...
Selfmate: which is encrusted with delightful vocal lines intermittent like vine branches under the scorching sun of August
Selynn: How do you know? Answer me, fellow brother!
Selfmate: Oh it's easy. From your first words I knew you talk about Itzy - Mafia in the morning
Selynn: lets drink this red vine for us, for the people of the great taste!
Selfmate: Words of wisdom! Bottoms up!

Signal at least won SOTY

The current bad songs aren't even useful for bragging

Mafia grew on me after a few listens

Signal's chorus still annoys me to this day, my least favourite twice single by far

And for the comments: miss a's I don't need a man is a great song
