aespa Giselle "Dopamine" appreciation thread / song discussion thread

I figured it's worth making a thread for this because the song is just so good! The dance break or beat drop part towards the end adds another dimension to it. I've always loved it, but experiencing it at the concert made me appreciate it so much more. Giselle put on an amazing performance, and that choreography is just stunning.

I just saw it live. I'll give more thoughts later

I know what you're going to say.

You asked me to tell you if they lip-sync, and I didn't tell you because I didn't want to snitch! I didn't want you to have a preformed opinion before you went into it.

Dopamine is such an incredible song

I'm still replaying the song to this day

And the fact that Giselle took part in composing the song just make it even better to me

Also, I love the hidden vocals and ad libs on this. Giselle really did her thing! Karina's "UP" was my favorite among their solos from SYNK : PARALLEL LINE era, but it's definitely "Dopamine" now.

Quote from SooYoung

Well dopamine was my favorite and it's still my favorite

Seeing her hardwork with all her adlibs in the back

The fact that she compose the song

Looking at the first performance and the current one and see how much she's more confident and comfortable on stage

And the " i don't need a man just accessories" i love it

And i really like the story told through the lyrics and the melody of the song

How the tempo and beat of the song change the moment she realize that all the " i don't need a man" etc... Was just BS and she live the man

I love a song who tell a story

Everything just click to me

The "game over" ad lib... The "na na na na" ad lib... The breathing sound effect during the "my heart rate spikes up like a race still to this day" line in her rap... This song is pretty much perfection.

I love how the outro or bridge is about her acceptance of what's going on. This song is so much more detailed and comprehensive than it gets credit for.

Quote from Eldeweiss

Dopamine is really a great song and Giselle is good with facial expressions.

I also wasn't expecting her to do that move during the dance break. The song is great, but the full stage performance makes it even better.

This is the part! Especially when she's doing the floorwork...
