Brings new meaning to the idea of an „empty“ chorus, but the production itself is *really* impressive and fills up the space.
Personally I love how it sounds, but I can see this being hit or miss for people.
I really do appreciate them trying something radically different here, as it would’ve been easy to mail in another copy of themselves.
It’s surprisingly melodic given the turn the song takes at the drop but I like the balance they struck. Lyrics are whatever – I was surprised at first to read Chris Martin is the first credit but after hearing it I’m less surprised lol. Very curious to see if this has choreography because I have no idea what’s gonna happen during the hooks.

I like the juxtaposition between the atmospheric and mysterious vocal parts and the extremely heavy, aggressive electronic drops. It was a disjointed but the energy is intense. I do wish they would do more group vocals and make it sound like an actual group song like back in the good old days but this instrumental was tight, very vibey, I liked it more than Jump.

I think Jisoo’s voice worked well with the song. Overall, it’s not doing much for me though.

maybe im crazy but the song sounds good in its own parts (prechorus, verses, raps) but as a whole it just sounds a bit choppy and messy, and i was a bit underwhelmed by the chorus idk, loved the aesthetics though.

The bridge has to be one of their bests yet. I think it’s the best part of the song for me.

Well, didn’t care for that.

The visually overwhelming AI is not it for me, but I’m intrigued by th fresh look and sound.

it’s weird so for blackpink idk how i feel about it yet. i bet the bsides will be my jam tho

Does the beginning seem out of beat with the instrumental? It’s like the vocal track and instrumental are racing each other.
Analyst_Lost on
their vocals are really good, i love when jennie and lisa sing, since they have very nice singing voice.
did not like the last few „blackpicks!“ kind of ruined a good song for me.

I loooove it! And the MV is so cool 😭
It’s a different sound while still Blackpink
tulips2kiss on
MV is fucking gorgeous but the song is…. idk. like it’s good but it doesn’t feel like Blackpink? I liked the direction Jump went but this is a little far in that electronic direction? like I like the song! but it doesn’t match them at all
edit: listened to the song w/o the MV and it’s a much worse experience, uh oh 🙃
Changsta on
What an insane music video. It normally takes me awhile to warm up to BLACKPINK songs, but this was an instant like for me. Honestly probably my favorite BP song already.
cant_think3 on
the bridge omg 🤤 one of my favorite bridges ever
Hazbin_Daevil on
Nothing against the girls but I am missing everything I loved most about BP. I miss their choruses, dance breaks etc and these feel a bit “cold” to me. No shade to anybody who enjoys the songs though because the girls deserve the love!
Ill_Assignment_9301 on
sonically more interesting to me than Jump. easily my favorite of the ep
edit: lowkey, it sounds like a valorant type of song
Moon_riseat_noon on
The bridge is the only part of the song that left an impression on me, as a blackpink fan since 2017, it’s interesting to see how far they’ve come sonically but pretty nostalgic knowing that they’re never going back to how they used to sound like
cottonhands on
Really love the music video and the sci-fi feel to the visual. The girls look amazing as always 🙂
Alive-Pitch-9180 on
Wow,a completely new sound for blackpink. I have to say that this song and mv really impressed me. One of their best mvs yet,way better than shutdown. I wish the chorus wasn’t empty but the production of the track as a whole is so impressive that makes up for it. Overall,I’d say it’s one of their best tts

Still not a fan of the Rima Yoon „overstimulate them to the point they won’t notice there’s AI snuck in“ school of art direction

That beat drop is everything! I really enjoyed it 🙆🏾♀️

This is very different! The beat in part of the song sounds like “Run It” from the Shang Chi soundtrack
Correct-Pie7540 on
MV is visually stunning, and it’s something new and fresh for BP. The rest of the EP, however, is disappointing. This was very obviously rushed and half-assed, and I say this as a diehard blink/sooya/ruby/number one/lillie🫠
A lot of things could’ve made this better, namely a summer release (who remembers when this was supposed to be out in July?), and a more cohesive sound for the EP overall. Go had potential, but the mixing sounds a bit messy at first listen.
WillZer on
Overwhelmed by the MV to get a clear picture about how I feel about the song, but definitely a strong release.
Very different from the rest of BP’s discography, I really really loved the vocal approach in it. They really made a point to showcase a different singing style, which we saw in their solos but it’s very giving „New era BP“ thanks to that.
fianto_duri on
There’s so much empty space in the song that I just can’t even see how this can be performed live
chamise on
how come i swear i heard a katy perry verse in there somewhere and towards the end a one direction ballad?! 😭😂
Bluesrepair on
Interesting, feels like I’m back in that Skrillex era but revamped.
Bel_Canto on
Dare I call it Aespa-pilled?
This will probably grow on me over time. I can’t say I feel wowed by it at the moment, but the synth textures are cool. It feels like it ends abruptly though.
shinkie on
I like parts of this but the chorus being almost non-existent I’m quite disappointed in. Plus that incredibly common chord progression in the bridge. They all look great though!
KarmicCT on
the song isn’t bad…. it’s also just not very good
AdehhRR on
This is cool, but like, the double standards of Kpop fans… There is AI in this, it is even mentioned in the credits, yet I see small artists with 0 budget get torn apart for using AI, yet BlackPink, the most known GG in the world uses it, many just gloss over it?
And this is coming from someone who defends some AI usage in some cases, like I said, for a small artist with no team.
I don’t know how they could dance to this chorus though haha. And that bridge was just AMAZING. Jisoo’s parts sounded great too.
mrfreeeeze on
Chris Martin on writing and arrangement credits on this song. 👀
Mark_Kostecki on
Here after 4-5 listen. This shit slaps gang (with an acoustic bridge that melts my heart)
19degreez on
I appreciate that this is outside of the box for them but the execution of the song is really not cohesive, it feels like three separate songs strung into one. This is not exclusive to them but I have quite a strong dislike for choruses that are devoid of lyrics or word chanting for the entirety of it.
I can tolerate AI but this one had a little too much fun with it.
Sexyhorsegirl666 on
AI is too obvious, again. Sadly that will keep happening
notamalina on
the blackpink chant at the end should go
96Mute96 on
Is this same MV director for XG?
wugggs on
could’ve done without the weird uncanny AI
goatnxtinline on
Why are they always chanting their names?
Synthiandrakon on
I feel like a song like this suffers under blackpinks (or ygs) refusal to release music. Like people wait all these years for what amounts of an ep and on the title track, like half of the song is just production.
I haven’t really formed my opinion on the song tbh, but initial thoughts are that idk something about the kind of edm drop this song utilises feels a little quaint and dated, not necessarily a huge knock at them but it definitely doesn’t feel like they’re on the cutting edge with this sound

Shame they worked with Dr Luke on the rest of the album

Definitely an interesting, new sound for them.
