HYPE is there....
Let's see.....
This is not a first listen technically, Since I heard this song 3-4 times... And listening to it while writing this piece....
This is not a bashing thread so please don't get offended if I say something, since I am pointing out the obvious things. I do this first listens out of pure love for music.
Things I like :-
1. Holy shit.... Let's talk about RM's part because that caught me off guard... Good job RM, you were the highlight of the song...
2. Instrumental is alright. I'll talk about it in a few moments...
3. Members did well with what they were given especially JK and Taehyung.
Things I didn't like :-
1. Jimin's infliction which I point out in almost every song... Since it doesn't, indeed, sound pleasant to me, I am point it out again...at 0:50..
Very noticeable.
2. Instrumental doesn't have the bounciness you expect from a "Dance song". It's just THERE, it does nothing to help the song. Even though it has so many different sounds, it sounds Empty.
3. Teeny bit overprocessing.
4. Enunciation needs a lot of work especially since they are targeting global audience.
5. Instead of "Da na na na", They should have included something completely different like the one synth Butter had in 1:30.
6. One of the weakest point for this song is that it DRAGS... That's not what you want from a dance song.
Conclusion :- A weak B-side. A filler song. Reminds me of the way I felt when I first listened to Ice Cream. Is this a must in BTS' discography? No, If it didn't exist, There won't be anything different.
Rating :- 4.75/10
Have a great day everyone. Stay safe and take care.
