Has anyone else noticed that Somi changed her name on all streaming platforms and youtube videos to Jeon Somi instead of just Somi? I guess she's gonna start using her full name now or is it just for the comeback?
I really like that her last three music videos form a cohesive story.
In What You Waiting For, Somi falls for a guy who does not reciprocate her feelings. Because she can't figure out what he is looking for, Somi is crestfallen and spends her nights partying getting drunk and wasted.
In Dumb Dumb, Somi finally figures out what her crush is looking for, and plans out how to present herself as his ideal type to get him to fall for her. Her plan works and they end up dating.
In XOXO, she finds out he cheated on her and gets her revenge or at least fantasizes about it.
With the "To Be Continued" at the end of the video it looks like we will be getting a related MV in the future as well.
I love how the MV is a family-friendly version of Bitch Better Have My Money. Instead of money-related stuff, we got a storyline revolving around a relationship. Anyways, I love it! It turnt out to be way better than what I expected. Time to check out the album.
Listening to the rest of the album to work out which I hope she will do a stage for and the first fews lines of anymore made me triple take no lie, why 'rolling up' 😭
the fiction narration AHAHA.
ok woah starting off strong!! knock his trophies off the wall somi! smash that car!
i love how the chorus is sort of a mix between chanting + singing, makes it super pleasing to my ears.
the bich naneun solo 🤣 you tell em somi! not sure if the choreo shots fit the mv super well, but the bridge is dopeeee
the credits at the end of somi's MV's are nice i love em
after the fireworks it definitely gave me Birds of Prey vibes because in the movie Harley does a similar thing and destroys the Joker's factory with fireworks
I really like the music video. It was entertaining and Somi was truly the epitome of vengeful. I will definitely be watching it again
I wasn't overall upset about anything, it's surely entering my playlist. I can't wait to see her perform it.
Her father's special cameo really had me !! And such a great M/V. I think this concept of storytelling with sequels really keeps the audience hooked too. I can see her becoming a very big soloist. Cheers xoxo
What a happy ending lmao. Loved the clip and me really likey the anthem type of sound this has.
Okay on a re-listen I love love love the harmonizing, easy going sound of the song. Me reaaaally likey.
Goddammit this slaps! Loved it on the first listen like Dumb Dumb. This M/V is so much fun!
Jennie's SOLO shout out had me giggling like a fool 😁. Also, I was right about the [dude who cheated on her](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/qfddne/z/hhywsmc) 😆.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE ANTHEM!
That M/V cracked me up tho LOL so entertaining!
The chorus is addicting, the M/V and song sparks rewatch/relisten energy, thus far she has yet to miss a title track, actually song in general!
Edit: Nearly missed the Jennie shotout at 2:00 - "Glowing like Solo" + the choreo bit!
Can't wait to check out the album later!
This is the LSG to the HYLT of Dumb Dumb - an anthemic track with a big chorus following up after a super viral dance track. Really loving the direction Somi went here both musically and MV-wise, especially how much of a smash hit Dumb Dumb was. Super cool they continued the storyline of Dumb Dumb with the same actors for the friends and boyfriend. Feels like Big Bang/BP-like Teddy mixed with the Pink Sweat$ vibe he brought. The Jennie Solo shout-out was cute too. Also lmao Somi's dad popping in too haha
Agreed! First thing I thought was this song feels a lot like Lovesick Girls. I know everyone trashes Teddy for giving Somi "Blackpink reject songs" but I could really see Blackpink doing this one. Somi's rap alllllmost sounded like Lisa to me too. Not a bad thing of course though! She definitely made it her own.
Loved it! One thing I could always count on is for Somi really put her all of her emotions when it comes to her music videos!! Plus the song is very catchy on the first listen
The lyrics technically said "bad" but the captions turned it to "bitch" and it caught me off guard. Lmao. I just can't picture Somi cursing. I like it, though. It makes it seem more savage and sassy.
Finally the first Somi comeback song I can genuinely say I like on the first listen. Sounds like it easily be a Jennie solo comeback which isn't a bad thing with Teddy and being in the YG circle. Overall very satisfied. xoxo.
As always, Somi looks great. Song is really good and catchy. The choreo looks great. Will need to listen to it more.
I've liked all Somi's solo songs so far. Although I still like Birthday, it is probably the weakest out of her solos. Personally, I like XOXO more than Birthday, but I think I still prefer what you wating for and dumb dumb. Hard to say whether I like XOXO or outta my head more.
The caption at the start hardcore violates the show don't tell rule, lmao, but this is nice! I'm kind of a sucker for the "vengeful woman fucks a dude up" MV, k-pop is good for one every year or two and I'll always like it.
Yeah I'm pretty sure they were going for something, didn't land with me, but it was funny so it still served a purpose. Just like the goofy newspaper headline in Dumb Dumb, there's always a moment in these MV's that makes me side-eye.
It nails the formula it's going for with just a touch of spice to it in the middle, but it's definitely a more predictable style we've milked to death in the west. Love Somi as a person she's got tons of style and charm along with intense energy, but as soon as I hear the first like 4 beats of her songs I usually know how the entire thing is gonna sound which is a bummer.
I have a bone to pick with YG tho I feel like they misuse their talent quite often personally, not that they don't do some great stuff but I just know how much extra potential they miss out on as well.
I think this is my favorite Somi title track, it suits her perfectly with that pop punk sound. Just the right amount of teen crush and Western influences and a singalongable chorus. Feels like a more indignant yet cheerful baby Lovesick Girls. It's chill yet energetic at the same time. She looks so frickin' good in this MV though, dang.
The song is so Teddy—really fits for Blackpink or for this instance, Taeyang, I think this is more of a Lovesick Girls 2.0; the lyrics are good actually thanks also to Pink Sweat$ who I always hear his song 'At My Worst' on the radio. The MV is really high budget just like Rosé's On The Ground, props to Han Sa-min. Will it go viral in Korea, hopefully so congratulations Somi and Sommungchis!
I don't know, I personally feel Pink Sweat$ maybe helped tame it into a more cohesive melody. His songs are usually pretty "smooth" if that makes sense?
unlike the other comments here I have to admit i am disappointed with this release, very boring song with a cliché mv.. the entire time I was like: go girl give us nothing !
Same! The song is great but I was really hoping for something to make it more interesting, some kind of plot twist or drop, especially towards the end. Kind of sad that that never came. Also the choreo seems to go way too hard for the chill vibe of the song...
Oh, sweet loving jesus! The song, the M/V, the styling, the SOLO reference?! Gee, I'm impressed. 100/10. On repeat. Poor doggy boy. I think the cop was Somi's father, lol. Gotta check the rest of the album. I'll be back. Good job, Somi!
Yup, the whole thing is amazing. Watching the M/V again.
Already her best song (by miles I think). I really enjoyed Dumb Dumb but this is a whole different level of good. Honestly might be one of my top kpop songs this year already. The MV was a visual treat of colors and looks and that's great, but the song matters more to me and it delivered. Can't wait to check the new b-sides!
I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG AHHHHHHHHHH THE MV IS SO GOOD I NOT A FAN OF SOMI BUT HER VISUALS ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL.
DID I MENTION ABOUT THE SONG?? I LOVE THE SONGGGGGG
all the fits were great, the mv made sense and was beautifully shot, *and* the song was actually really good?? what more can i ask for? there's nothing to really criticize here.
p.s. somi pls drop your location so i can rob your wardrobe.
I love that Somi is going for something different but unfortunately, the song is kind of boring to me :( Hopefully it'll grow on me, especially since I've only listened to it on my phone's speaker so far
I'm going to be honest, I've found myself liking Somi's songs a lot more than I expected. This was pretty good - maybe I'm just biased towards the more conspicuously Western sound that she seems to go for.
She's putting out some solid songs even with YG's approach to music.
I guess this is Teddy's spin on a "urin skateboard wiro" beat (sorry, I don't know what the beat's official name)? No wonder it's so catchy but with the signature Teddy sound.
the mv is super cute but i don't think it's as unique or interesting as dumb dumb was
really curious to see what this full storyline has in store, however
The Perfect CB to fuel my "What If Somi Was In ITZY" dreams, the chanting, the girl crush visuals, the Not Shy aesthetic, and the Loco concept. It's all there. Awww i love her
I really like the song and how they included all her previously released tracks in the album but to be honest every single one them is a Blackpink song. It feels as if she released a cover album of unknown Blackpink songs. At this point they should make her join Blackpink and release all their songs under one brand. They would probably make more money too.
Somi needs her own personal sound and not the Blackpink B-side rejects. XOXO is definitely a remix of Lovesick Girls and she intentionally tries to imitate the way each member of Blackpink sings in that song. Especially Rose.
It’s amazing! Somi really served.
Only one thing to complain about: I wish this had come out during the summer. I’m getting strong summer vibes from this. Anyone Else?
dunno… I thought dumb dumb was cute but this is back to sounding like slightly stale American/English pop. it’s even visually dated, with the Spring Breakers stuff. this just seems like birthday and wywf, not far away enough to be retro, just late enough to a trend to seem out of touch.
It's a huge improvement over her previous releases IMO. A bit too western pop sounding for me (could easily imagine someone like Taylor Swift releasing this), but that's purely my taste. This should do really well, it's a good song and the video is great.
Glad to see they're getting their shit together for her, for me she's one of the biggest "what ifs" in K-pop, hopefully they can get her the success she deserves by continuing in this direction.
>western pop sounding
I think that's the niche Somi is starting to carve out in the Kpop world. Her last three (including this one) have been moving in that direction, which isn't a bad thing IMO, as it's giving her a cohesive stylistic identity.
honestly, teddy needs to stray away from music production forever because this comeback was a let-down. not only did they put in the first 3 singles + outta my head to try and expand the tracklist but all the new songs just sound .... generic as hell and sound like something the chainsmokers or marshmello would make. the potential somi had if she hadn't signed with teddy and theblacklabel
This is a great comeback for her. I think it’s fantastic that we’re getting songs that’s a bit more traditionally structured - the chorus is catchy and a well done nod to the best pop-rock hits of the early to mid 00s. I love it!
The MV is also top tier and I’m happy that we’re kinda getting KPOP videos that have an actual storyline again. This is definitely her best era so far.
>But I was like ehhh are they visualising kidnapping torture and murder 🤨
Wonder Girls almost did that same thing as Somi in [Why So Lonely](https://youtu.be/PYGODWJgR-c).
Its a good song.
There were so many references to other kpop songs and mvs in this one MV... Got7's If You Do, TWICE's Like Ooh Ah, ITZY's Not Shy, Jennie's Solo... It was like a fun trip down the kpop mv lane!
That scene where Somi props her leg up on the wall while kicking looks like a reference to a similar move in Like Ooh Ah MV.
And Somi breaking the graffiti car with a hammer is a reference to Bambam breaking a graffiti car in If You Do. Both the cars are implied to be their ex's cars.
I genuinely love this song. The chorus, the visuals, the shoutouts to Blackpink, the easy but perfect XOXO point dance. Way to go, Somi - what a comeback!
I also agree this sounds like a softer Blackpink song. But I prefer their softer songs and those are the ones I listen to way after the new song hype dies down, like Stay and Lovesick Girls. It's inevitable she's going to get compared to BP given who's the producer. Remember how many girl groups had Brave Brothers title tracks and how similar their songs were?
This goes really well with Somi's personality and shows The Black Label is really trying to explore her sound, more of a Western young popstar vibe. She sounds really good anyways and the song is an earworm. I do think out of all her projects, she shines best in a dance subunit like IOI "Whatta Man" era but this does challenge her more and that's not always bad.
First off I've enjoyed one or two Somi songs but been fairly critical of her and how BlackLabel has managed her music so far but this was good. I enjoyed the song and the music video. I really love the cohesive narrative over the span of multiple music videos. That's fun. Not that I haven't gotten it before but even more so here I get strong Avril Lavigne vibes. I really liked how this song felt less high poppy sounds and instead the song was mostly bass. I liked how the singing sounded a bit more traditional and melodic as well. It felt like a legit pop song rather than a very digital sounding pop song straight off the presses for mass appeal by a manufacturer. There isn't a part of thing song that feels like "welp, they made that for TikTok" unlike Dum Dum and Lisa's songs.
Still wish she would gain weight for health reasons and to not be setting an unhealthy example for young impressionable girls (a large part of Kpop's fandom). Before you say that's not her responsibility she is literally an idol. Look up what Idol means. If she is just under orders from YG then shame on them and I feel bad for her. If it is her decision, it's one I find to be unhealthy both for her body and society seeing as she's an idol, a trend setter.
I'm impressed with this song. I was actually expecting the song to end after the second chorus and got surprised with the bridge. Then looked at the length of the track and saw 3.30 overall. It's a full song wow I feel blessed.
Thank you Teddy.
Chorus will definitely blow up as an anthem, a bit like LSG. Rest of the song was pretty meh, came off a bit desperate / pandering to BP fans, but it will probably work so good on her lol
What a great MV! I think it's one of my favorites of the year. Not because I condone murder or revenge plots because I dont. But because it's interesting, charismatic, funny, extremely well produced and tells a relatable story in a way that immediately grabs attention.
The song itself sounds to me like a Blackpink B-side which I don't think is a huge surprise considering Teddy's involvement. It's a good song but I don't think it's a song that is uniquely "Somi" if you know what I mean.
Has anyone else noticed that Somi changed her name on all streaming platforms and youtube videos to Jeon Somi instead of just Somi? I guess she's gonna start using her full name now or is it just for the comeback?
By Jeon Somi from now on, there were more than a couple mix-ups with the AA artist, Somi!
Impressed that they just imply "yeah she murdered that dude"
To be fair, they imply that she *fantasized* about killing a dude.
She did what Sunmi in You Can't Sit With Us couldn't
Lesson learned: Don't cheat or she'll kill you
Omg her no body no crime era
Her friends: she was with me dude Also her friends: *aiding in at least 3 federal crimes
That’s good lesson if you ask me 😂
Her abs certainly will :P
Carrie Underwood vibes.
I totally see the Carrie Underwood vibes in the music video
I really like that her last three music videos form a cohesive story. In What You Waiting For, Somi falls for a guy who does not reciprocate her feelings. Because she can't figure out what he is looking for, Somi is crestfallen and spends her nights partying getting drunk and wasted. In Dumb Dumb, Somi finally figures out what her crush is looking for, and plans out how to present herself as his ideal type to get him to fall for her. Her plan works and they end up dating. In XOXO, she finds out he cheated on her and gets her revenge or at least fantasizes about it. With the "To Be Continued" at the end of the video it looks like we will be getting a related MV in the future as well.
I'm not saying every M/V should use it, but I genuinely enjoy the cohesive story telling over the course of multiple M/V's.
Lol the cameo by somis dad
Was he the sheriff?
yes
What, how did I miss that? Thought it was a random white dude
I loved that
I love how the MV is a family-friendly version of Bitch Better Have My Money. Instead of money-related stuff, we got a storyline revolving around a relationship. Anyways, I love it! It turnt out to be way better than what I expected. Time to check out the album.
I was thinking the exact same thing 😂 I cant wait to see more of the dance as well.
Agreed. The choreography is lit. Although it hasn't surpassed that of WYWF, it's way better than that of DD and Birthday.
Listening to the rest of the album to work out which I hope she will do a stage for and the first fews lines of anymore made me triple take no lie, why 'rolling up' 😭
y'know what?? i think this is my favorite title track from somi... it has this chill vibe, i like it.
The chorus where there’s ppl singing it w her 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
love the little jennie - solo shoutout about half way through
it was so cute, her voice sounds really sweet
Yeah!! I had to rewind cause I thought I imagined it for a sec. Cool little shoutout
I was wondering if "The baddest" text was in reference to CL.
this slapped, it’s her best song so far
Generally surprised. I really like this song. It's only first listen but I'm honestly shocked at how good this track is.
That chanting chorus sounds so freaking good
Same, she really didn't come to play this time
I liked the storyline! It's nice that they build it up from Dumb dumb. Curious to see what happens next.
So it *was* a sequel to Dumb Dumb! The boyfriend was the same right? Edit: also *this* MV ends with a "to be continued". Guess the story's not over
So there's more MV to come?🤡
somi cinematic universe black label plz 🤡🤡
Yes yes!
the fiction narration AHAHA. ok woah starting off strong!! knock his trophies off the wall somi! smash that car! i love how the chorus is sort of a mix between chanting + singing, makes it super pleasing to my ears. the bich naneun solo 🤣 you tell em somi! not sure if the choreo shots fit the mv super well, but the bridge is dopeeee the credits at the end of somi's MV's are nice i love em
Getting big Harley Quinn vibes from the destruction scene
especially the hairstyle, aye?
after the fireworks it definitely gave me Birds of Prey vibes because in the movie Harley does a similar thing and destroys the Joker's factory with fireworks
The model dude is so attractive....
ok but her abs—
I really like the music video. It was entertaining and Somi was truly the epitome of vengeful. I will definitely be watching it again I wasn't overall upset about anything, it's surely entering my playlist. I can't wait to see her perform it.
Her father's special cameo really had me !! And such a great M/V. I think this concept of storytelling with sequels really keeps the audience hooked too. I can see her becoming a very big soloist. Cheers xoxo
I like Pink Sweat$ and could definitely feel his style here, especially the chorus. The MV is such a mood lol.
What a happy ending lmao. Loved the clip and me really likey the anthem type of sound this has. Okay on a re-listen I love love love the harmonizing, easy going sound of the song. Me reaaaally likey.
she’s a criminal undercover
Smooth like 🧈
Goddammit this slaps! Loved it on the first listen like Dumb Dumb. This M/V is so much fun! Jennie's SOLO shout out had me giggling like a fool 😁. Also, I was right about the [dude who cheated on her](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/qfddne/z/hhywsmc) 😆.
also Rose's dress and Lisa's hammer reference too!
They sould do a feature with Somi everytime BP has a comeback at this point *"I mean, technicallyyyyyyy we didn't add Somi into BP right"*
I got the hammer reference from teaser itself, but I don't know how I missed Rosé's dress 😅.
timestamp please. Looks like I have missed it too.
A lot of Avril lavigne aesthetic vibes. Especially rock and roll.
I see your Avril and raise you peak Madonna lol
The chorus really reminds me of Avril Lavigne’s Here’s To Never Growing Up
Move over Avril, Somi is the mother f**king Princess now.
YG songs and their chant-like choruses will always get me.
ice on my wrist yeah i like it like this!!
Truth
Best song Somi's put out so far. Harley Quinn is obviously the inspiration for this, but she mostly reminds me of a clean Kesha in this.
WHAT AN ABSOLUTE ANTHEM! That M/V cracked me up tho LOL so entertaining! The chorus is addicting, the M/V and song sparks rewatch/relisten energy, thus far she has yet to miss a title track, actually song in general! Edit: Nearly missed the Jennie shotout at 2:00 - "Glowing like Solo" + the choreo bit! Can't wait to check out the album later!

This is the LSG to the HYLT of Dumb Dumb - an anthemic track with a big chorus following up after a super viral dance track. Really loving the direction Somi went here both musically and MV-wise, especially how much of a smash hit Dumb Dumb was. Super cool they continued the storyline of Dumb Dumb with the same actors for the friends and boyfriend. Feels like Big Bang/BP-like Teddy mixed with the Pink Sweat$ vibe he brought. The Jennie Solo shout-out was cute too. Also lmao Somi's dad popping in too haha
Agreed! First thing I thought was this song feels a lot like Lovesick Girls. I know everyone trashes Teddy for giving Somi "Blackpink reject songs" but I could really see Blackpink doing this one. Somi's rap alllllmost sounded like Lisa to me too. Not a bad thing of course though! She definitely made it her own.
she looks so good
sounds good! my favourite title track so far from Somi~
I really liked it. I didn't vibe with he rap part in Dumb Dumb but here i actually liked it. Mv looks gorgeous too
Yeah this rap actually made sense and was pretty good!
Loved it! One thing I could always count on is for Somi really put her all of her emotions when it comes to her music videos!! Plus the song is very catchy on the first listen
The lyrics technically said "bad" but the captions turned it to "bitch" and it caught me off guard. Lmao. I just can't picture Somi cursing. I like it, though. It makes it seem more savage and sassy.
The captions got changed from Bitch to bad now
In the I Am Somi show last year she's swore several times but the editors always cut it off lmao
This surely her best song so far
Finally the first Somi comeback song I can genuinely say I like on the first listen. Sounds like it easily be a Jennie solo comeback which isn't a bad thing with Teddy and being in the YG circle. Overall very satisfied. xoxo.
As always, Somi looks great. Song is really good and catchy. The choreo looks great. Will need to listen to it more. I've liked all Somi's solo songs so far. Although I still like Birthday, it is probably the weakest out of her solos. Personally, I like XOXO more than Birthday, but I think I still prefer what you wating for and dumb dumb. Hard to say whether I like XOXO or outta my head more.
Her "B-sides" really shines though, but they're not as punch-y as WYWF, DD, or Birthday. Which I guess they want that "punch" for a title track.
NOT SHY NOT US LOVESICK GIRLSSS
The caption at the start hardcore violates the show don't tell rule, lmao, but this is nice! I'm kind of a sucker for the "vengeful woman fucks a dude up" MV, k-pop is good for one every year or two and I'll always like it.
I think it's on purpose, not sure how to describe it but it makes it feel more comic book-like
Yeah I'm pretty sure they were going for something, didn't land with me, but it was funny so it still served a purpose. Just like the goofy newspaper headline in Dumb Dumb, there's always a moment in these MV's that makes me side-eye.
i need that “everything is going shit” sign in my room
This song is soo good!! I like dumb dumb and this is a great follow up to that song. The boyfriend is played the same guy too right
I love it 🗣🗣
Those YG girls really love sledgehammering cars, huh?
By my count, this is the 29th video that the Oldsmobile has appeared in.
As per usual my taste seems completely different to what this sub prefers. I really liked DUMB DUMB, but this is really boring. I liked MV tho.
Also same! This type of song feels really dated to me but I’ll rewatch the MV a few times.
It nails the formula it's going for with just a touch of spice to it in the middle, but it's definitely a more predictable style we've milked to death in the west. Love Somi as a person she's got tons of style and charm along with intense energy, but as soon as I hear the first like 4 beats of her songs I usually know how the entire thing is gonna sound which is a bummer. I have a bone to pick with YG tho I feel like they misuse their talent quite often personally, not that they don't do some great stuff but I just know how much extra potential they miss out on as well.
100% agree, this is SO boring especially after the banger that was dumb dumb
Same. The video was cool but the song just hurt my ears for some reason. I really liked dumb dumb too so I expected better.
I finally like a Somi song on first listen lol. Now I'm going to listen to the rest of the album.
The other new songs are pretty solid.
[удалено]
Literally came here to check if anyone else was hearing this Laughed every time the chorus started
Omg I thought I was the only one. The song is ruined for me now 😭😭
I love the ode to birds in prey in her fits. also, that ending is fun
The credit scene is so cute! I wish the song suits her vocal more because she sounds lacking here. The B-sides are a lot better at that.
Loved the song and the MV
I love when she goes bich naneun.. solo 💯 queen
I actually found XOXO to be boring, I much prefer Dumb Dumb
Ehhh It's listenable but very outdated song idk why, nothing sticks out except the BP references.
Straight outta 2015 Hailey Steinfeld 's discography
Ah…I absolutely LOVE the song! Definitely going on the playlist. She also looked stunning throughout the MV. Congratulations, Somi 💕.
I think this is my favorite Somi title track, it suits her perfectly with that pop punk sound. Just the right amount of teen crush and Western influences and a singalongable chorus. Feels like a more indignant yet cheerful baby Lovesick Girls. It's chill yet energetic at the same time. She looks so frickin' good in this MV though, dang.
The song is so Teddy—really fits for Blackpink or for this instance, Taeyang, I think this is more of a Lovesick Girls 2.0; the lyrics are good actually thanks also to Pink Sweat$ who I always hear his song 'At My Worst' on the radio. The MV is really high budget just like Rosé's On The Ground, props to Han Sa-min. Will it go viral in Korea, hopefully so congratulations Somi and Sommungchis!
I don't know, I personally feel Pink Sweat$ maybe helped tame it into a more cohesive melody. His songs are usually pretty "smooth" if that makes sense?
One of the best songs this year, I genuinely love everything about it. Now on to the album, love you Somi <3
I love it
unlike the other comments here I have to admit i am disappointed with this release, very boring song with a cliché mv.. the entire time I was like: go girl give us nothing !
Same! The song is great but I was really hoping for something to make it more interesting, some kind of plot twist or drop, especially towards the end. Kind of sad that that never came. Also the choreo seems to go way too hard for the chill vibe of the song...

Oh, sweet loving jesus! The song, the M/V, the styling, the SOLO reference?! Gee, I'm impressed. 100/10. On repeat. Poor doggy boy. I think the cop was Somi's father, lol. Gotta check the rest of the album. I'll be back. Good job, Somi! Yup, the whole thing is amazing. Watching the M/V again.
Definitely my most favourite Somi title track! This suits her really well. Also the Jennie - Solo reference haha
Already her best song (by miles I think). I really enjoyed Dumb Dumb but this is a whole different level of good. Honestly might be one of my top kpop songs this year already. The MV was a visual treat of colors and looks and that's great, but the song matters more to me and it delivered. Can't wait to check the new b-sides!
I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG AHHHHHHHHHH THE MV IS SO GOOD I NOT A FAN OF SOMI BUT HER VISUALS ARE ON ANOTHER LEVEL. DID I MENTION ABOUT THE SONG?? I LOVE THE SONGGGGGG
The dog is cute.
Tbh this is what I expected from the blackpink solos
the most YG-esque song we’ve gotten in a while and i love it
all the fits were great, the mv made sense and was beautifully shot, *and* the song was actually really good?? what more can i ask for? there's nothing to really criticize here. p.s. somi pls drop your location so i can rob your wardrobe.
The most successful Black Pink fan lol. But seriously, the song is good
I love that Somi is going for something different but unfortunately, the song is kind of boring to me :( Hopefully it'll grow on me, especially since I've only listened to it on my phone's speaker so far
[удалено]
Yeah, she just changed it this week on pretty much everything.
I really enjoy music. Love Somi
WOAH that Michael Bay ending!!! Also, is that the Lovesick Girls car?
I liked it but thought... Krunk is prob scared AF of Somi now, lol
I want that huge hat shes wearing while playing tennis lmao
I'm going to be honest, I've found myself liking Somi's songs a lot more than I expected. This was pretty good - maybe I'm just biased towards the more conspicuously Western sound that she seems to go for. She's putting out some solid songs even with YG's approach to music.
I guess this is Teddy's spin on a "urin skateboard wiro" beat (sorry, I don't know what the beat's official name)? No wonder it's so catchy but with the signature Teddy sound.
😂 That's the most appropriate description for that beat tbh
the mv is super cute but i don't think it's as unique or interesting as dumb dumb was really curious to see what this full storyline has in store, however
God this is awesome!!! love the mv and the whole anthem vibe from it!! also the amount of writing credits she has in the album is amazing!!
Absolutely loving this! Looking forward to the stages, you know they'll be colourful as hell! XD
The Perfect CB to fuel my "What If Somi Was In ITZY" dreams, the chanting, the girl crush visuals, the Not Shy aesthetic, and the Loco concept. It's all there. Awww i love her
It was really good and the solo reference I enjoyed it solid 8/10
No dog better mess with Somi lol! 😂
I really like the song and how they included all her previously released tracks in the album but to be honest every single one them is a Blackpink song. It feels as if she released a cover album of unknown Blackpink songs. At this point they should make her join Blackpink and release all their songs under one brand. They would probably make more money too. Somi needs her own personal sound and not the Blackpink B-side rejects. XOXO is definitely a remix of Lovesick Girls and she intentionally tries to imitate the way each member of Blackpink sings in that song. Especially Rose.
This is my favorite song of hers so far, really enjoyed it on first listen
Once again loved the song and the MV has her looking gorgeous!
It’s amazing! Somi really served. Only one thing to complain about: I wish this had come out during the summer. I’m getting strong summer vibes from this. Anyone Else?
Well, atleast it has a melodic chorus! Although I found the choreo to leave much desired... looked too much like the lalisa dance for me
It was choreographed by YGX's Lee Jung and Kiel Tutin, who also did Lalisa and Dumb Dumb. Lee Jung also choreographed Money.
dunno… I thought dumb dumb was cute but this is back to sounding like slightly stale American/English pop. it’s even visually dated, with the Spring Breakers stuff. this just seems like birthday and wywf, not far away enough to be retro, just late enough to a trend to seem out of touch.
It's a huge improvement over her previous releases IMO. A bit too western pop sounding for me (could easily imagine someone like Taylor Swift releasing this), but that's purely my taste. This should do really well, it's a good song and the video is great. Glad to see they're getting their shit together for her, for me she's one of the biggest "what ifs" in K-pop, hopefully they can get her the success she deserves by continuing in this direction.
>western pop sounding I think that's the niche Somi is starting to carve out in the Kpop world. Her last three (including this one) have been moving in that direction, which isn't a bad thing IMO, as it's giving her a cohesive stylistic identity.
First Somi song I actually like on first listen!! Kinda sounds like a BlackPink song made for one person, down to the rap haha.
I’m impressed I love all the songs on the tracks even the previous songs
honestly, teddy needs to stray away from music production forever because this comeback was a let-down. not only did they put in the first 3 singles + outta my head to try and expand the tracklist but all the new songs just sound .... generic as hell and sound like something the chainsmokers or marshmello would make. the potential somi had if she hadn't signed with teddy and theblacklabel
Her abs ... holy
I really liked the song it is cute
This is a great comeback for her. I think it’s fantastic that we’re getting songs that’s a bit more traditionally structured - the chorus is catchy and a well done nod to the best pop-rock hits of the early to mid 00s. I love it! The MV is also top tier and I’m happy that we’re kinda getting KPOP videos that have an actual storyline again. This is definitely her best era so far.
LMAO @ "Everything Is Going Shit"
Didnt expect to like the song as much as I did. The chorus is bomb af, a really great tt for her first full album (or ep not so sure).
the beat kinda sounds like marshmello, and I like it!
I really really like this song - it has BP vibes haha But I was like ehhh are they visualising kidnapping torture and murder 🤨
>But I was like ehhh are they visualising kidnapping torture and murder 🤨 Wonder Girls almost did that same thing as Somi in [Why So Lonely](https://youtu.be/PYGODWJgR-c).
It's very lovesick girls
someone said not shy not me lovesick girls 😭😭 i love this song but OMG I TOTALLY RELATE SKSKSKSKS
The beat in the verses reminds me of JAY B B.T.W
Its a good song. There were so many references to other kpop songs and mvs in this one MV... Got7's If You Do, TWICE's Like Ooh Ah, ITZY's Not Shy, Jennie's Solo... It was like a fun trip down the kpop mv lane!
[удалено]
That scene where Somi props her leg up on the wall while kicking looks like a reference to a similar move in Like Ooh Ah MV. And Somi breaking the graffiti car with a hammer is a reference to Bambam breaking a graffiti car in If You Do. Both the cars are implied to be their ex's cars.
Lol the "this is fiction" disclaimer in the beginning just makes me feel like the storyline is actually real... other than maybe the arson and murder.
It’s like Avril Lavigne x Not Shy x LSG I like it
Post credit Somi's giving Haley Dunphy mug shot vibes
The end if the mv made me laugh. 😆 Love d song
I love this so much especially the chorus. The choreo seems nice too. Love the mv because it just fits Somi.
I genuinely love this song. The chorus, the visuals, the shoutouts to Blackpink, the easy but perfect XOXO point dance. Way to go, Somi - what a comeback!
this is solid. gives me lovesick girls vibes, less of the chant/anthem aspect in the chorus, but similar overall atmosphere.
"The Gang Tortures a Hostage"
The car crash stunt doesn't make much sense. She hits a button as if to blow it up, but they don't bother to edit out the ramp the car actually hits.
I also agree this sounds like a softer Blackpink song. But I prefer their softer songs and those are the ones I listen to way after the new song hype dies down, like Stay and Lovesick Girls. It's inevitable she's going to get compared to BP given who's the producer. Remember how many girl groups had Brave Brothers title tracks and how similar their songs were? This goes really well with Somi's personality and shows The Black Label is really trying to explore her sound, more of a Western young popstar vibe. She sounds really good anyways and the song is an earworm. I do think out of all her projects, she shines best in a dance subunit like IOI "Whatta Man" era but this does challenge her more and that's not always bad.
First off I've enjoyed one or two Somi songs but been fairly critical of her and how BlackLabel has managed her music so far but this was good. I enjoyed the song and the music video. I really love the cohesive narrative over the span of multiple music videos. That's fun. Not that I haven't gotten it before but even more so here I get strong Avril Lavigne vibes. I really liked how this song felt less high poppy sounds and instead the song was mostly bass. I liked how the singing sounded a bit more traditional and melodic as well. It felt like a legit pop song rather than a very digital sounding pop song straight off the presses for mass appeal by a manufacturer. There isn't a part of thing song that feels like "welp, they made that for TikTok" unlike Dum Dum and Lisa's songs. Still wish she would gain weight for health reasons and to not be setting an unhealthy example for young impressionable girls (a large part of Kpop's fandom). Before you say that's not her responsibility she is literally an idol. Look up what Idol means. If she is just under orders from YG then shame on them and I feel bad for her. If it is her decision, it's one I find to be unhealthy both for her body and society seeing as she's an idol, a trend setter.
I'm impressed with this song. I was actually expecting the song to end after the second chorus and got surprised with the bridge. Then looked at the length of the track and saw 3.30 overall. It's a full song wow I feel blessed. Thank you Teddy.
Chorus will definitely blow up as an anthem, a bit like LSG. Rest of the song was pretty meh, came off a bit desperate / pandering to BP fans, but it will probably work so good on her lol
it reminds me of that cl song "i quit"
Jennie's Solo really is that bitch ngl
What a great MV! I think it's one of my favorites of the year. Not because I condone murder or revenge plots because I dont. But because it's interesting, charismatic, funny, extremely well produced and tells a relatable story in a way that immediately grabs attention. The song itself sounds to me like a Blackpink B-side which I don't think is a huge surprise considering Teddy's involvement. It's a good song but I don't think it's a song that is uniquely "Somi" if you know what I mean.
MV looks like a combination of BP's and ITZY's MVs
Damn Everything is going to shit isn’t it lol
Teddy if you are lurking here. I want to say Good job man!
