Did you know all H2H current title tracks were worked on/recorded before their debut!

They made comments before mentioning they already recorded some before debut and were listening to others (maybe the demo) before debuting!

I think SM knows exactly what they’re doing with them!

i guess SM has this kind of tradition where they already picked the songs out for their groups since the beginning bcs i read somewhere aespa also get the same treatment

Yes, I remember something along the lines of Forever, Next level and Savage were already planned at debut so I think for maybe just for the rookies years

Quote from idontLkurgrlfrnd

i've heard SNSD's debut song was produced some 5-ish years before SNSD debuted

Yes it’s very on brand for SM/big companies to have a debut year plan or at least a list of songs sitting in their basement waiting for the right group/idol/ sometimes they do revamp or change up the songs completely from the original demo… so I’ve heard!

Quote from StanGIDLE

I assume this is common where a company will make a group record many songs. Some will be released later and most will be unreleased. I think SM coordinated well but still unsure how "The Chase" blends with their other release because that song is a 180 from what they've released after. I still think its an interesting debut song because it was a strong song to show vocal range which made me interested in the group.

Quote from SooYoung

I think it's pretty much a tradition

And i actually feel like it's a great thing

They probably do this cuz they already have a vision for the group for their 1-2st years

So it's better to make this vision become real once you have the full picture in mind

And not by choosing on the spot few months before the comeback

I guess I forget sometimes kpop is literally a entertainment/music business and like all businesses you need a great business plan

Quote from Aeicy

all the songs so far have a specific vibe, except style isn't really in line with the other songs.

but if they recorded these songs before debut then there's no vocal improvement '? ?

That’s interesting most people say RUDE! Is most similar to STYLE (i see what they mean but I think RUDE is more a hybrid between all TT) and exactly to the second part!

Technically they never confirmed all were already recorded only that they knew what the songs were which could mean listening to demos

A good way to tell is watching the studio recordings, if their hair color matches the recent or era hair changes then it was recorded at that point etc
