I'm glad I didn't put a lot of expectations on Lisa "Rockstar"

Quote from versatile

That Japanese line was so cringey who let that out seriously???

For real tho. When I heard that line my instant thought was "does she even speak japanese "

The song is ok but definitely doesn't have replay value for me. It's a little too cringe for my liking. But, at least it explains why YG didn't put any Ryan Tedder songs on to "the Album"

"lisa can you teach me Japanese? I said hai hai" When I first listened to it, I was confused why she put in Japanese, girl. When I watched the MV, the hai part, she bowed, which was contradictory, so I thought it might be a sarcasm that when people say they're from Asia, people only know China and Japan. So I went back to watch the MV again from the perspective of how Thais and Asians are stereotyped and discriminated against. She put in a trans person, put in a guy who looks like a rough gangster, which is how foreigners view Thailand. She took 100 Thai kids and sat them in a row, dressed all the same. This might be a sarcasm that Asians all look the same. And on the other hand, when there's a famous person from Thailand or someone who's good-looking, people will say that they don't look like Thai people at all. Another thing is that when you look at the overall picture, everything looks the same, but the differences stand out, especially their skin color. And most of them are tan. This is very unexpected in this MV. She's not selling Thailand as a luxurious tourist city, but she's adding street style because it's a city and its people. Many people may be confused about what's Rockstar. It's a Rockstar attitude.

Y'all are tasteless. That Teach me Japanese Hai Hai is very catchy

Quote from icyruios

Who wrote those lyrics

And why does she hate Hybe? She keeps talking about Hybe in her song

It's "hai hai" in Japanese = yes yes

I didn't have very high expectations either, because of the backtrack of teaser. I liked it overall, definitely better than Lalisa but money is superior. I actually can see myself repeating baby I'm a rockstar part, I can't say it's not catchy

I just hope If her album comes out she will choose better instrumentals overall.

The mv is gorgeous tho

Interesting take.

I kinda understood it was a homage to her homeland including the street style but I didn't think about it this way at all.

The best part of the song was the bridge and the pre-chorus. It also turns out that these are the only parts I like.

They are also my favourite parts; I think that it would have sounded so good for the whole song to have that instrumental. Then the outro/bridge with the bass kicking it sounded amazing.

Quote from sugarberry

My thoughts exactly. It's "mina saiko arigato k-k-k-kawaii" from Avril Lavigne's Hello Kitty levels of cringe And I'm saying this as a huge lisa and avril fan

TLDR: it's ok to like a song

well i didnt have very high expectations and i disliked the teaser images she released but when mv teaser dropped i got really hyped, i liked the backtrack

i cant say what part of the song i like the most but it works well as a whole.. on the first listen i liked it more and more and hit repeat immediately after it finished, simple as that

and yes, the japanese line was cringe on the first listen but the more she repeats it the catchier it is.. i dont care much about deep messages or whatever but i also believe it's a shade on stereotypes

Yeah, i felt the same when they released the girls. It was just a very bad replication of a bp song.

Yup from first listen I could spot the sarcasm, idk why so many people say it's cringe some probably say it on purpose..
