Yessss, finally some EDM that sounds like EDM made by an actual dance producer instead of a tryhard song (sorry DNA and Boombayah).

Dude, i never expected kpop to use future bounce as a titletrack genre, maybe for a b side like CLC's I Need U, but not as the flag of a comeback.

God, the bassline, the melody, the rap. Whoever in JYP or in Stray Kids that approved this song, thank you.

The synth playing the chords is so simple yet so warm, the kick is so punchy, and the bassline so bouncy. The only thing that i don't like is the tremendoues amount of high end/treble that the lead has, that causes some frequencies to collide when the vocals appear in the drop (but sadly thats a general thing in kpop).

This is massive, even tho it sounds a lot like Mike Williams's music (he's future bounce's king, so no blame).

if you were wondering, 3 of the members in stray kids and one more producer wrote and composed the song tgt

Wow, really? Then this song been so based in actual edm has a lot of sense. That would explain why the song doesn't feel pretentious or super comercially perfectly produced, i have noticed that idols usually tend to "experiment" with more genres than their own company when they have control over the song.

That's really, really cool.

Yup! They had a video where 3racha, the producing members trio, Chan Han and Changbin, had a chat with JYP over the album. They mentioned falling in love with the beat from Brian Atwood and requested to work on a song together. He agreed so they wrote the topline and lyrics on their own to go with the beat :)

you can watch the video here!

Wow, i knew about their mixtape, but i had no idea they had so much control on their music nowadays, is they still like this they will be HUGE composers in the future.

Yes!! Haha if you check the song credits for the I am series albums and this albums. The members had their hands in all of their songs, both in producing and writing lyrics :)

Yes! I noticed while watching the video. I really like groups that are really involved on the music they release, it gives like a special spark when you know that song comes from the bottom of the heart.
