K-pop shouldn't have copied this trend from the west

It's a real menace to music imo

"songs length"

It's no secret the trend in the west now is to make songs as short as possible to get max streaming value

Current #1 song on Global Spotify & Apple Music is only 2:20 long....

Unfortunately that trend has impacted K-pop with Teddy being the biggest culprit in my pov

His newest production (Somi's new single) clocks in at 2:30 long...

BP flagship 2020 single was only 3:01 long...

I fear for the 2021 single...

I hate it.

I loathe it.

This trend is one of those worst things to happen to music...

Give me full fleshed musical compositions that clock in at 3:30 (D4 & aiiyl) or even 4:01 (Boombayah & Forever Young)

Song length is something that has started bothering me since 2019(KTL being 3:15) then hylt being even worse

I fear the worst but still hope we can get a 3:20 single as opposed to 2:50 this year...

What are your opinions on songs length?

Quote from harambelives

Big length can be good but what matters more is how you use it

They used it beautifully...

Quote from monalisalove

True! BLACKPINK songs are great, but they are almost a miracle to happen and this b have the audacity to cut half of the song??? Or to make a half song??? Give me my +3:30 songs back!!

And yes, there are some music that it's great being short, but in some cases they just seem incomplete/poor finished.

Pretty Savage is perfect at 3:20

I think 3:20 song length will still get all those massive streams lol

I just know I'll hate it if it's below 3 mins

Quote from jenlvr

songs where i am from are sometimes 6-8 min long. i don't know why but i would wish what you want as well, teddy and other producers need to make songs at least a min longer

Especially for BP who have fans who'll stream even a 5 mins song lol

Quote from quark12395

Songs being short is not a recent thing. Before the late 60s songs were typically under 3 minutes.

60s is 40-50 years ago

That's a very long time ago lol

Quote from selfmate

as long as the song is good then it sorta compensates for the short duration but as fans obviously we would be preferring a longer song...

Were u satisfied with HYLT & IC lengths? (3:01 & 2:56)

Quote from atropos

The length is irrelevant to getting streams. Happier than ever which is 5 mins long is pulling 5M atm on Spotify.

I think 2:45/3min is fine. Depends on the song. I don't feel stay is incomplete but i felt there could be something more for dumb dumb

I wouldn't rule out less than 3min for bp comeback. Hopefully it stretches to 3min lol.

Let's face it we all actually streaming the second part of HTE lol

BP is 4 members, I want each member to shine on the single so hopefully 3:20

Quote from selfmate

I liked HYLT but yes it was a bit short...

not a big fan of IC so the song did not make up for the shortness of the song...

Could have benefited from an extra 20 seconds...

Fair enough lol

Quote from jenlvr

i would stream tf out of it- it would probably be the only content we would get

Both sad & awesome lol
