Firstly, I must say I loved Lovesick Girls. It surpassed my previous fav AIIYL to become my fav. It showcased the other side of BLACKPINK which is what I need.
Secondly, HYLT did so well. And I didn’t like it at first but it grew on me a lot. This song made me clear my hatred for BP (the thing that I used to think BP was overrated because of DDDD and KTL success while I didn’t like these two songs).
Thirdly, I don’t like PS as much as the other two, but let’s put into discussion.
PS could have been a title, not LSG, which personally I think would have done much better than LSG, because literally many ppl like this song (not me) and they usually prefer the hip-hop side. But if HYLT and PS are the Pre-release and Title, BP would have been called “not versatile” again because they have the same structure like DDDD and KTL.
PS could have been the Pre-release, and who knows if it would do better or worse than HYLT. For me, I would say PS would be on the same level bc of hype and anticipation. For me I like HYLT more but it depends on the music taste.
I would say I like how HYLT and LSG were chosen, but realistically speaking, I think PS would have brought some more power to BP if it was released as either Pre-release or Title Track. But for me, LSG is the best choice for Title because it isn’t similar to their recent comebacks and it’s also such a great song for me. I am satisfied with their music in 2020.
