  • I knew it was gonna be incredible from the track video, but damn it was even better than expected. Some old school 90s R&B boy group goodness.

  • You already know SM has the singing down. This specific song doesn't feel "whole" without a visual. The composition doesn't emotional connect for me, on a heart level, and I'm sensory. The "pop-up" rap part was...:pepewhat:

  • This was the song that grew the most on me. I liked it when the track video came out but now I absolutely love it. I think it's my favorite in the album after Sticker. Something about it feels magical indeed. <3 It has such a graceful atmosphere and Jaehyun's parts are just gorgeous (I'm biased but yeah, he owns the song - no wonder Haechan said MCR reminds him of Jaehyun).


    It has the same vibe for me as EXO's What If (which is my favorite song from them), and both songs share the same writers/producers. :blushing:

  • I love it.


    This is in the tradition of a 90s Boyz II Men slow jam (which is appropriate since Jaehyun showed off his Boyz II Men album on the relay cam) and I think it really makes nice use of the vocal textures (TY’s scratchy low voice against Doyoung’s airy, soaring one), Jaehyun’s rich and warm voice with that aching beauty at 2:07, which is under Mark’s slow jam rap, Taeil’s “you betta sing” ad libs, Haechan flexing his lower register, Yuta sounding richer and darker vocally than he had before.


    I think Mark’s rap here is exactly the kind of slow jam rap that I expect on this type of song. It reminds me a lot of one of my mom’s faves.

    (I don’t personally think it adds anything but I find ballad videos to be queso queso with very few rare exceptions, so I may be biased.)

    The song wasn't strong enough to make me look for any created visuals for it in the first place. Seeing something fills a hole of engagement though that the track itself doesn't accomplish with the melody. When the track connects emotionally for imaginative minds, visuals will automatically come to mind.


    Maybe if the vid actually took the viewer somewhere it would be just a tad bit more lukewarm. It would probably be next to impossible to completely compensate for a song that isn't a bullseye (ballad or not) though.

  • best song on the album of course. i mean did you hear jaehyun?

    Oh, okay, so you just didn’t like the song. The way you described it in your first post, it sounded like it didn’t work for you without a visual connection.


    Curious, are there any NCT 127 or NCT songs you do like? Because I keep seeing you describe each one on different posts as not dope or how it could almost be dope but isn’t quite or how you’d prefer a different member, but I realized I don’t completely understand which ones you think do work..
