Where did the idea that Girls On Top was gonna debut with a female empowerment song come from?

Yeah pretty much

Come from

People made stuff up in their head and then got mad when reality didn't match.

The anger level is really disproportionate with what was "promised."

This was the song description given

so it's not SM's fault the people who looked at a tweet and ran with it?

Well there was no tweet that ever stated that the group would be singing about female empowerment. People made that assumption from the groups name. So it’s nobodies fault but their own.

I see GOT as female ver of superm

All of superm songs had endearing, self motivating and powering lyrics

I was excited to get the same for GOT but we got that ass of lyricist trash dude

I mean when I saw them for the first I thought they would remake girls on top to beging with ....

U cant blame people when they are named after a song which message is that

This is not a tweet

it has a Korean link so the source come from sm

The group name? Literally? It’s not like we pulled the expectations out our asses.

Honestly, what’s the most bothersome isn’t even the fact that the song isn’t about empowerment, it’s that they put another woman down for a man and glorify said man.

And even if we did not expect the group to have empowering lyrics, I think everyone still has a right to be upset, because the lyrics are shit.

Their group name is literally related to the archetype of "female empowerment"

And the original song was also about that

SM stans are just trying to do damage control and pretend the image of the group wasn't trying to convey that. Obviously the lyrics was completely different

They didn't need to do an empowering song, they just needed to do a song with good lyrics and they didn't deliver.

And people is angry because you have a group with the best female idols singing about fighting and putting down other woman because of a man and worshipping him.

It's a group of full ass grown woman not some 14 years old teenagers.

Regardless,the lyrics are just cringy.

the lyrics are just another empty pop one (which is fine I like empty pop lyrics it's just how it is)

but people are taking this way too seriously when you consider how much of "nothing" the lyrics are if anything I think people should stop blaming company and idols because of their own "expectations"

what makes me laugh is how much super popular western pop (or even not only pop) songs are waay worse and people say nothing while comparing to kpop at the same time (more times than not putting kpop as "inferior")

ah at those times I wonder if anyone see the irony on this...
