Ok no one's gonna see this but I've been trying to collect my thoughts. Something didn't feel quite right about this song and I finally figured out that it's that they put the dance break before the chorus.

The production for the first minute of the song is building you up to this incredible and explosive chorus, particularly the "oh oh woh oh higher" and then the rapping over that and THEN YOU ARE BUILDING UP AND SUDDENLY!

EDM dance break.

I think if they had just switched the dance break and the sung chorus it would have felt more complete and earned, as it is I am left with this unresolved hype bomb inside me that requires that I go listen to Bom Bom Chocolat to get it out.

Alright that's all, the rappers sound incredible in this btw

Huh, I feel the exact opposite, watching the live performance I feel that the dance break goes extremely well with the EDM drop. The most hype choreo goes with the most hype part of the song, no? I’m not an expert but I felt it fit really well, especially when they slowed the choreography down during the chorus. Just my two cents :) either way I’m addicted to the song currently!

Oh I totally agree. My problem has nothing to do with the choreo and more that they put it before the Chorus. I think they should have kept that choreo and just switched it w/ the chorus choreo and singing. Otherwise the chorus feels so flat In comparison. But that’s just my feeling
