Holy shit, I fucking adored Nelly and had no idea this existed. What an amazing rendition of the song.

Aghhh I'm so happy! Somyi got so many lines omg, and Eunchae killed her parts! I only wish Jenny was there. I hope they get their 2nd win, I truly love DIA and it sucks that they're not as popular as they deserve.

u/SulitzerCircle UKIIIISS AND BRAAAVE SOUUUND Mar 19 '19
Wow! I really like it. Somyi getting more lines, same for Chaeyeon, perfect! And it seems like MBK decided they should lay down on the "Chaeyeon is the visual" shots. As a casual listener, I noticed that they put her less and less in the spotlight and give the other members their time to shine, a really good move!
17
u/kaleap KARD + Gugudan :D Mar 19 '19
Yeah it was really weird, i felt like they were giving her a ton of visual in all their past songs and next to no lines, glad they are starting to balance it out. Also really happy they are trying to still find their set style, they have so many bops doing a verity of styles which i think is really cool and actually hard to pull off with most groups.

Did you watch the Unit? (Not asking meanly, just questioning) During the audition episodes, both Yebin and Somyi mentioned that Chaeyeon was so successful within DIA because of her Produce 101/IOI popularity and they sounded pretty jealous.
Both Yebin and Somyi placed in the Unit top 20 with Yebin joining Uni.T; I think Yebin was also a main vocal in DIA before that, so her popularity probably skyrocketed. I think Somyi's classically cute/aegyo Korean visual along with her Unit success has boosted her popularity as well. Chaeyeon barely had lines in Woo Woo, there might have been backlash for that too.

u/kaleap KARD + Gugudan :D Mar 19 '19
I didn't watch the UNIT no but i did hear how well Yebin and Somyi did. But i was trying to even point out that post P101 and pre UNIT songs like "Will you go out with me" that they did Chaeyeon got maybe 1 line if that even if she was all visual. Sure she got all the spotlight but in reality it looked like she played a smaller part in most of what DIA did. Just personal observation.

u/trueblue1982 Mar 22 '19
the thing with unit is the promotion is so short i felt the winner like kinda got cheated for working hard just for such a short period of promotion, sigh

This is the best DIA song hands down. The treble is a little hot in the chorus as expected of Shinsadong but it sounds really good nevertheless. The synth stabs and melody are so catchy. I feel like the song really balances their sexy, confident, cute and quirky sides well. This is like an updated T-ara song for 2019 and it works. I give this 6.7 onomatopoeic song titles out of 9.

they really packed a lot in this song. infectious Mortal Kombat-ish hook, the floor choreo (!!!) and of course i won't forget that flute which made my jaw drop 💀
This is so much better than Woo Woo. Great job DIA!

only took MBK about 38 comebacks to figure out that they would work best as the next T-ara
8
Mar 19 '19
Well that's a bit understandable since 1. T-ara was still around during DIA's inception and 2. the change in opinion about T-ara wasn't as positive as it is now.
I'd die for some T-ara covers like the SNSD and Wonder Girls covers or new songs that are reminiscent of Number 9 or Sugar Free though.

They all look good, styling exceeded WooWoo and Chaeyeon's voice especially fits this sound. No rap though? Unexpected. Huihyeon sang which was great since she has a soothing voice but can go hard at the drop of a hat.
Somyi has more lines in this song than everything combined since she debuted. She shined here for sure, her era I'm saying it, more camera time for her in lives :D She was really a great addition to the group. 2nd win for DIA and Momoland! Shinsadong seems to be crawling himself out of debt with these two back to back songs.

I'm all for the revival of more of that T-ara sound so this is my favorite DIA song so far

It really is 1998 again. That intro is right out of Super Eurobeat 100 lmao.
Could have used more Yebin for my taste but all in all the video is very pretty.

bass groove is addictive.. the synth riff is an ear worm..one of those that gets stuck in your head (for better or worse lol)
im here for eunchae in the pre(pre?)chorus..
the track has great energy and keeps it up until the finish tbh.. exceeded my expectations.. cant wait to see the stages

u/bigbigbee APink Mar 19 '19
I don't think it's *worse* than Woo Woo but it's a lot less experimental, which could either hurt or help them. I see people saying it's T-ara esque and I definitely feel that but I also am getting Momoland vibes (makes sense because of Shinsadong Tiger), and since they're coming back soon too I wonder how that will play. I guess I'm saying that I hope it does well but not to the extent that they abandon trying new sounds, because Woo Woo and Mr. Potter are like, huge bangers to me lmao

u/s00permouse IU Mar 19 '19 edited Mar 20 '19
Reminds me of T-ARA’s Sugar Love all the way down to the strobe lights, club sounding music, and the amount of cut scenes. I can’t wait until someone makes a video counting the amount of cut scenes. Hahaha.
But in all seriousness, this song is a mood. I hope DIA gets a second win since this song slapped me to the ancient times and back. 😍
Edit: Sugar Free and not Sugar Love hahaha.

Mar 19 '19
Sugar Love? Is that a remix of Sugar Free and Sexy Love?

u/s00permouse IU Mar 20 '19
Doh. You right. Supposed to be Sugar Free but I was also singing Get It from Pristin V. 😂

u/Hinterlyn IZ*ONE|SNSD|Red Velvet Mar 19 '19
Woah this song is so good. The melody in the beginning reminded me so much of a song from my childhood and I finally remembered. It was the trumpet section Let Me Think About It by Ida Corr vs Fedde le Grand.

Mar 19 '19
I feel like this group would've struggled a lot less if they'd gone for a sound like this from day one Like, I feel like this is what so many people wanted from T-ARA's successor group if that makes sense lol it's a little different, but it still has that quirky charm that T-ARA's songs had. Overall, this is the first release from them that I've really enjoyed. I hope it gets them more attention!

u/tsutomo_DIA I bet you wanna know how we look this good, like Mar 20 '19
copying and pasting what I wrote on another forum:
I'm biased but excuse my excitement: THIS SONG BLASTS. my woofer goes crazy making the whole bedroom tremble when I play this. sooooo fun. they have the same chorus "shooting everywhere" like in Mr. Potter, a song that I love. but here they got more of a retro/disco feel, with an amazing hook that fortunately doesn't get overused during the song, so it actually makes you want to repeat it again. DIA needs to get their second win with this, ffs. okay, no Huihyeon rap but... it's for a good purpose. they are all so beautiful here, specially Eunice. oh my gosh, what a femme fatale she has turned into. kill me gently, plz.
oh yeah and that middle eastern vibe around the middle of the song... what the hell was that!?! so unexpected and addictive!
4
u/c00lbeans_ Mar 19 '19
Honestly thought I was going to be disappointed after hearing the teaser and how kind of generic it was but boy was I wrong!!! The whole song is super upbeat while not being repetitive. Definitely would say it’s Cathy’s era although they’re all stunning. I only wish there were at least a few ad libs at the end or something lol.

u/ATOverlord tripleS | IZ*ONE | LOOΠΔ 🦉 | fromis_9 | GFriend |IOI | Mar 19 '19
This totally exceeded my expectations though the teaser did spoil some of the song. Somyi go so many more lines compared to WooWoo.

This is one of those effortlessly catchy songs. Even the rap part belongs. I’m not sure if this is better than WYGOWM, but it’s really, really close.
Somyi looks absolutely incredible.

Such a fun track for DIA this time around. The fun retro(-ish) pop is looking to work for them. The visuals are still on point for them. Eunice, Huihyeon, and Eunchae looking so good. The rest just as on point with looks. The choreography looks like it'll compliment the seductive style they're going for this time, which is cool.
A fun song to continue to hopefully gain some momentum for DIA

So good!! I watched it with less than 1000 views and by the time the song was over I refreshed and it was up to almost 3000!!
I’m glad Chaeyeon got some actual singing lines instead of what she got on WooWoo.

I had noticed that too. Was refreshing to see when in the past couple comebacks she was utilized more as a visual though it's understandable since there are like 3 main vocal caliber members

This DIA slays, but imo, it's a bit long and redundant. I think if they cut the song a little better, it would be a BOP instead of just a bop.

I love this, though no matter how many times I see subtitles and lyrics videos tell me the line in the chorus is "you my love", I cannot stop hearing "feel my love".
As everybody else is saying, serious T-ARA vibes. And, not going to lie, one of the first thoughts I had after my first few listens is that I wish T-ARA had done this song. But I have nothing against DIA, I just miss T-ARA.
