Alright.....
Let's get it....
1. DDU-DU-DDU-DU
Jingle bell percussion? See now That's extremely rare. Very unique sounding..
Bass is heavy. Good Pre-chorus and build-up. Pretty good chorus, actually even though I find spelling out "DDU-DU" a bit cringe.
First Highlight of the song is obviously Jennie's Rap. Fire verse. Props for the pitched-up vocals in the back during the verse.
Second highlight is the last drop with that flute... Top 5 KPOP drops of all-time tbh.
Starting off really strong. Iconic song.
Rating :- 9.75/10
Unexpected direction.. I thought this would be a mellow ballad.
Bouncy vibe and I dig the use of vocal samples. I don't like the use of pitched down horn in the chorus. Sounds weird to me. The contrast doesn't work out imo.
Second verse drags.
Basically first half of the song is really good but second half is a big let down.
Rating :- 6/10 ( +1.5 Just for the first half)
3. Really
Am I the only one finding similarities in this and SKZ's B me? The way they sing "Really" and "B Me" respectively is very similar.
Dislike Lisa's rap here. Chorus is nice, it's catchy but not that strong.
Bruh.. That "Ha Ha He He Ho Ho" made me cackle.
Alright song.
Rating :- 7/10
4. See U Later
I love the intro. Chorus is eh... Nothing special.
However the instrumental is perhaps my favorite part of the song. It's very comforting.
Rating :- 6.25/10 (+1 for the instrumental)
Conclusion :- Alright single album. The first song is so strong that following track don't hold up as well.
Final Rating :- 72.5%
