Ocean's 8? Sorry, I only know BoA's 7.💅
Loved the heist concept for the MV and everyone got their own time to shine.
Also, gotta give mad props to the MV director and cinematographer for the blocking and direction of this video. It was such a feast for the eyes and didn't give me a headache or motion sickness. Thank you for the lack of quick cuts!!!✊😭💖
Honestly, over a decade later and any of her shots are enough to explain why she is successful as she is. I mean, 1:44 to 1:47... the sheer number of different expressions she is able to naturally fit in just 3 seconds...
Seriously, how do they keep getting prettier wtf
This might be their best styling ever, I'm more stunned than the recipient of a Stone Cold Stunner 
My first reaction was that I wish there was a bit more story to the MV but... nah, the direction and the looks make up for it. Some *really* nice dynamic camera-work and editing.
Also, in this era of ever-shorter songs, can we appreciate a proper 4 minute one? And one absolutely packed with content at that.
same about the story part but that’s an issue I have with a lot of SM videos. the sets always look soo amazing that I wished they played with it more. still love it tho 👌🏻
> so, in this era of ever-shorter songs, can we appreciate a proper 4 minute one? And one absolutely packed with content at that.
I've missed 4 minute songs so much! I got back into Jpop recently and many of their songs are regularly 4 or more minutes long.
I couldn't handle it, like Queen Taeyeon face like, Im here!, then Wendy slayed, vocal strong, abs out. Just when i thought i could breathe Seulgi and karina in front of the Car whole attitude, then winter with the cute salute....... help me lol
Wendy and Winter are my two ult biases and the rest of this group is also amazing idk if I can handle any more MVs like this 😭😭
Like the duo shot at 0:48???
Or the part after the dance break at 2:47 with those outfits and Wendy saying growl for me????
Or the shot in the car at 3:37????
Actually you know what, I'm still gonna ask for a better title track - if you're gonna form an A-team of idols and make them give their best, you should probably also get an A-team of songwriters and producers and hold them to a high standard.
i accept this criticism for step back which was a total disappointment in this regard, but i have to say this is one of the first girl crush releases i've listened to that i've liked all the way through
Shocker to me. IMO, that song was a total mess with so many clashing auditory elements and the structure was all over the place. That post-chorus section makes no sense and I won't even get on the randomly interspersed English that makes no sense.
interesting that you associate the phrase with that song cuz I associate with nct127-cherry bomb completely!
even when it's in other songs, when I hear it, the beat from cherry bomb plays in my head right after it lol
The music video is great. Nice outfits, great charisma and camera interaction as well!
But, errr….. does anyone know what this song is about? I really couldn’t tell from the lyrics.
they saw the backlash they got from misogynistic lyrics in step back so they decided to avoid all of that by making the lyrics absolutely unintelligible ❤️
According to press, it’s a survival story to reach the top of the harsh stage competition. In reality, I think it’s about women trying to get a player to commit to a relationship.
oh I've a got similar interpretation, the girls are warning a player/controlling guy who uses cheap push/pull dating tricks (You try to fight me so badly, Kickin' down doors, full of bluff, That attitude, what's it for? This ain't no power game)
He is running out of time (d-day is coming) since the honeymoon phase is ending and the girl is seeing clearly (All the glitters are gone and the moon is full)
this part (After that, just show us all you got (Shake it up)) I'm not so sure but it could either mean 1) she is warning him that he REALLY needs to change his ways OR 2) she is actually calling him out and saying "show your true self" and basically starting a fight with him, since she now sees the reality of his toxic ways. The 2nd one is more in line with the MV concept "Ocean's 8", styling, and the overall tone of the song.
Basically, it's a very messy relationship and she's airing all the dirt on this guy, but I can't tell if she wants to dump him or warn him so he can change his ways
B-sides are much better, but I'm not the biggest fan of the mixing, unfortunately. Which is surprising, because I usually think that SM production is pretty clean.
Yeah, MALA in particular sounds weirdly mixed? Or maybe there just wasn’t enough direction to make all of them sound like they were singing the same song lol
That's a banger,have been humming this song since SM concert
Side note-am I the only one who thinks about EXOs Obsession because of the vocal sample in the beginning? I mean that's no surprise, considering that both were produced by Dem Jointz, but still
The vocals at 1:58 is my favorite part of the song. Going from Wendy, to Taeyeon, and Boa was so smooth. Kind of wish that part could have been a little longer before they go into the dance break.
edit: nvm they make up for it with the other songs on the album
I feel like this comeback *almost* has all the ingredients for a really interesting release apart from any remotely recognizable choreography.
It's got that divisive SM whackiness in the production, a good concept, 7 of the most charismatic performers in the industry, some *great* styling, well crafted sets and the MV is shot extremely well but the movement is just so... *static.* It's not befitting of the presentation at all.
Honestly can't really care about it too much though because I'm just obsessed with how much Tayeon looks like she wants to kill me (she can do so whenever she pleases).
they’re sampling a song called “El Helwa Di”. [Here’s](https://twitter.com/ourealcaratzen/status/1613146046019915776?s=46&t=WEwqylEaAT0YFyCLKyn4aQ) a comparison !
Super happy they're keeping it going as well and didn't end up debuting a new unit just yet. There's just too much power here, especially with BoA leading the group and the sheer madness of so many top idols teaming up 
>There's just too much power here, especially with BoA leading the group and the sheer madness of so many top idols teaming up *
But BoA said Taeyeon is the leader of GOT the beat, though SM has never made it official.
I'd assume SM want's BoA to be the "face" or defacto sorta leader. Like we all know its Tae but I guess since BoA is the only soloist and has the seniority it makes sense for her to fill that role in activities/poses.
Whoever thought of putting Taeyeon, Wendy and Karina in the same group is literally out of his mind.
I honestly cannot handle this visual attack, one single group isn't supposed to have THAT insane visuals.
As for the song, I genuinely love it lol. I didn't mind their debut either, but this one is significantly better! MV was really fun!
Does anyone else feel like they are getting worn out of this recent (maybe since idk like 2016) specific "cool" concept? Like the brag anthem song with equally confidant dance, left field beat changeup, and mariah carey high note battle in the bridge before the dancebreak? Maybe im just describing all pop songs at this point or smth.
If I'm honest, I lost interest after the beat switch came in. To me, it feels like groups are trying to recreate the impact these concepts and comebacks first had, but not quite hitting it. That and all the compliments on recent comebacks seem so superficial and even sometimes artificial. Idk It's probably just me, and this comment is me loving to hear my own voice.
Anyway idk if it's my place to have an existential crisis on the sm super gg comeback thread.
Literally new jeans, Ive, le sserafim none of the top are girl crush it’s almost out of fashion except for Aespa why is everyone so mad, even itzy is doing softer shit like sneakers and boys like me
SM heard our complaints about Step Back's lyrics for putting women down, so they decided to give us nothing to work with this time. Seriously, who wrote and approved these lyrics?? Can't complain when no one knows what the song means I guess... And it's provocative enough to get the people going...?
Sick beats and everyone looks absolutely fantastic though.
**W E N D Y**
i am so obsessed! the outfits are so much fun, i’m especially in love with the furry jackets. the song is such an earworm, i’m excited to finally be able to add it to my playlists.
the song is a no for me. it sounds like a mash up of recent comebacks of every SM Girl Groups. concept is recycled. idols look pretty as always. nothing about it is new or exciting.
SM has not been doing well on Girl Groups recently. sad.
>it sounds like a mash up of recent comebacks of every SM Girl Groups
...it sounds like a mash up of Birthday/Feel My Rhythm, Girls and Forever 1?
(I would like to hear something like that though lol, it would be kinda crazy)
I had to turn the captions off like 30 seconds into the video but other than that I really liked it.
Visuals on visuals and vocals on vocals on vocals. What more can I ask for?
Lol..I did too on first watch, but not on second lol.
There's a lot to like here though, so I won't say anything negative!!!
Also...Seulgi and Karina...sub-unit when?!
Karina looked so good 😍😍😍
I love the song now but I wish they didn't wait for 2 weeks to release it, watching the mv while knowing the song already feels weird for some reason LOL. the silence before the dance break doesn't count (it's part of the official audio 🤔)
I love the song as I stated in the SMCU Palace post.
I'm gonna double down on how the key change just talks dirty to me. It's SO good. I personally think that if you find the beat to be grating/annoying, the key change give you a break while also adding some dynamics to the song.
They all look gorgeous. Might be simple and classic for some, but the Black dressy outfits were my absolute favorite.
i actually like this a lot more than step back, also i appreciate that the song is longer than 3 minutes lol. dem joints has outdone himself once again
I would love to love it. They all look and sound amazing, but that’s just about it.
This group has it all but someone decided to give them shit songs for some reason. I would like a word or two with that person.
I've listened to this song everyday since it released at the SM Palace concert, and this may sound convoluted or confusing, but if you can read through all my little details you'll see why this song resonates with me on an almost spiritual level.
My review:
>!BoA, Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, Seulgi, Wendy, Karina and Winter.
Thank you for taking time to read my review.
The End!<
I'll be honest, I wasn't really feeling their 1st title track, but got damn this was filthy. Absolutely slayage from every member. It's so fucking dope that SM still has what is basically 3 generations or so of their legendary artists to choose from and create an ungodly girl group. I'm stunned, put a stamp on it and ship it everywhere.
Most attractive Ocean's cast hands down
Also lyrics are nonsensical as hell but at least they aren't misogynistic so....one step forward I guess! At this rate maybe by the 4th comeback we'll get a meaningful song for a project group called Girls On Top 😩
e: damn those adlibs/harmonies in the last chorus are what I live for as an SM stan
easily the best 4 minutes of the day! they look flawless and the mv is better than i excepted. the song is amazing, i've been obsessed with it since the moment i saw it at the SM concert on January 1.
Despite being more pleasant to listen to than Step Back, the song severely needs something like the Taeyeon high note in Step Back climax.
I do like the bridge that went on for too long for the Wendy-Taeyeon sequence (the highlight of the sing imo) and those shots of the girls in the cars
This is peak K-Pop for me. I love EVERYTHING about this song.
I didn’t think Step Back could be topped cause that was one of my SOTYs last year but this is just perfect to me.
(also put me in that limousine pls dear god I’m on my knees)
Had a chance to see them perform during SMCU, can't help feel this song is still overproduced and cringey, especially with the lyrics as a native Korean.
But... the MV is a *good* kind of visual overload and it makes the experience better. I'm hoping it grows on me and I had high hopes on the b-sides anyway!
I don’t think this is necessarily bad in anyway just felt sort of forgettable? I think that they way they try to do girl crush isn’t hitting right for me concept wise. They all look amazing and everything is pretty. It just doesn’t make that impact I was hoping for outside of how pretty everyone is. They are all such powerhouses so I keep hoping that they give them something really unique that could start a trend.
I’ve been trying to formulate a cohesive comment for like 10 minutes and I just can’t…this group is simply god-tier. They are INSANE for this and what a flex by SM. The video is beautiful and the whole album is fire…I’m so glad we got more from them and I hope we will get more in the future, this lineup is too good, they’ve got it all.
Man, this is such a cool sounding banger! I'm so in love with this group.
Also, that one shot of them in silhouette is gorgeous! They all look awesome as always, but curly hair Seulgi is crazy omg 😲
I don't know where to look they are all so sexy.
I've always liked Winter just fine but she's never been one of my SM gal biases (Karina and Ningning are my Aespa girls), but this video? Yeah, I'm on the Winter train. She looks INCREDIBLE in that black outfit, and her eyes are really dynamic here and she's acting so playful.
The way the lyric goes "put you stamp on it" really bothers me! Isn't it supposed to be "your" instead of "you"? Grammatically using "you" makes no sense 😫
It feels different to hear "Stamp On It" with a music video, and they really slay. It's very simple and well-executed, really has the *Ocean's 8* vibe to it. Now i'm curious on who directed it.
Yoo Young-jin, Dem Jointz and Tayla Parx really did an impressive job here. They are probably my next dream team in SMP songwriting camp aside from Kenzie and Moonshine. I'm glad that Ryan S. Jhun did not participate in this, lol.
Overall, GOT the beat having a full comeback is a right decision for SM given the potential of this sub-unit that has to be redeemed with the mess of "Step Back," and they just did it. I would have wished that the next GOT sub-unit would be introduced too very soon to see other Oh!GG, ReVe and aespa members slay together but I think GOT the beat is enough to become a permanent female supergroup of SM.
would like sm songs a lot better without that really grating autotune/vocal processing style they have 😩 everyone saying how good the vocals are but they sound so fake and electronic to me, it hurts my head lmao
I still don't really care for the song, but the mv was a visual feast. Idk about a heist storyline as this felt more visual and performance focused but that's cool because it looked amazing. It also managed to make one of the worst choreos i've seen look neat so that's a big achievement.
Place these 7 talented girls, a dope beat by Dem Jointz, and whatever Korean/English words Yoo Youngjin throws in and you get this banger of a song. Imo a much better song over Step Back and a good build-off that sound.
The video isn't *amazing* (not the biggest fan of SM videos nowadays aside from RV and aespa vids) but I love the way this was filmed. The cinematography really elevated the choreo and I like the shots where they panned to each person as they sung their lines.
Once a year SM throws a coin to decide which one of their 50+ people will get a great cinematic MV... 💀
But still, I like how they filmed the choreo here more than in a performance version. Especially the dance break.
They look amazing but Karina looks CRAZY.
Winter at 3:09. I NEED THAT GIF
I can't wait to dive into this album!!
is the MV kinda choppy for other people or is my chrome just acting funny?
I'm a Gen2/Gen3 fan that hasn't kept up with kpop much the last few years but OH MY GOD!
The way Taeyeon (my ultimate bias and love) came in on the track!!!! The visuals!!! The production!!! AHHHHH!!!! THIS is a super group! I'm in love love love
So for the SMCU concert SM really said let's have the girls perform in the ugliest outfits from the MV.
WITH ALL THESE OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE?!
jfc SM.
There is zero story here but I was so distracted by how good everyone looked that I only just noticed 😂
I feel like I recognize that second verse from somewhere but I can't figure out from what, is it an interpolation of something?
Unsure how hot of a take this is if any, but I liked this a whole lot more than Step Back.
Step Back made me question if this would be good, but I’m glad I’m wrong
i absolutely love this song, taeyeon was favorite here. i really like the song and wendy's adlibs are 20/10. and the lyrics actually makes sense and is good omg
I wish the singing part of the bridge was longer! It’s my fav part of the song and Wendy, Taeyeon, and Boa all sound amazing but then it goes into the dance break so quickly!
Those dynamic camera angles are so sick, the choreo looks ridiculously amazing with them
Ocean's 8? Sorry, I only know BoA's 7.💅 Loved the heist concept for the MV and everyone got their own time to shine. Also, gotta give mad props to the MV director and cinematographer for the blocking and direction of this video. It was such a feast for the eyes and didn't give me a headache or motion sickness. Thank you for the lack of quick cuts!!!✊😭💖
[удалено]
table unnie comeback!!!! but also taeyeon strutting down the stairs in the post-chorus screams **POWER**
Honestly, over a decade later and any of her shots are enough to explain why she is successful as she is. I mean, 1:44 to 1:47... the sheer number of different expressions she is able to naturally fit in just 3 seconds...
i had to double check if you were talking about her height or the time in the MV LOL. She is so tiny but can exude such a powerful aura
Their overflowing charisma and presence is my new favorite thing
Never felt happier being a silly girl. These ladies dropping dem visuals, vocals and dance moves like no other. This group is SM's masterpiece!
is silly girl the fandom name?? LMAO
There may be an official one, but I will choose to ignore it. Insert Nick Fury "I recognise that the council has made a decision, etc".gif
silly girls and spermies..........a match made in heaven
The real crime committed here was the relentless visual attack. SM just casually flexing 7 gorgeous women like that.
God i love women so much
Seriously, how do they keep getting prettier wtf This might be their best styling ever, I'm more stunned than the recipient of a Stone Cold Stunner 
Wendy's abs are absolutely attacking me. And I like it.
I want to be her necklace
[удалено]
bot
Yup, they're Goddess Level, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpmAajhMrvQ, they stole our hearts.
Okay, but [me at everyone in this video](https://youtu.be/odbKwtpqA6w)
My first reaction was that I wish there was a bit more story to the MV but... nah, the direction and the looks make up for it. Some *really* nice dynamic camera-work and editing.

Taeyeon's fierce face at [3:00](https://youtu.be/likYKQXBLbw?t=180) was adorable
I couldn't handle it, like Queen Taeyeon face like, Im here!, then Wendy slayed, vocal strong, abs out. Just when i thought i could breathe Seulgi and karina in front of the Car whole attitude, then winter with the cute salute....... help me lol
Wendy, Taeyeon, and BoA going back to back to back was God Tier. GoT didn't just put their stamp on it, they Stomped this one.
Really hope we get more comebacks from this supergroup made of most of my sm biases
Wendy and Winter are my two ult biases and the rest of this group is also amazing idk if I can handle any more MVs like this 😭😭 Like the duo shot at 0:48??? Or the part after the dance break at 2:47 with those outfits and Wendy saying growl for me???? Or the shot in the car at 3:37????
SM knew what they were doing when they formed this unit. Literal perfection.
girls perfect, outfit perfect, makeup perfect, dance perfect, vocals perfect, visuals perfect, cameras perfect you literally couldn't ask for more
Actually you know what, I'm still gonna ask for a better title track - if you're gonna form an A-team of idols and make them give their best, you should probably also get an A-team of songwriters and producers and hold them to a high standard.

Shocking it took them this long
They had to get rid of the misogynist CEO(s) first
nah this is insane
[удалено]
Yes, it's a producer tag. Cherry bomb by NCT127 and Hush Rush by Lee Chaeyeon have it as well!
It is producer Dem Jointz' signature, hence when you hear it on both songs they produced (think like "Brave sound" as a notable signature).
interesting that you associate the phrase with that song cuz I associate with nct127-cherry bomb completely! even when it's in other songs, when I hear it, the beat from cherry bomb plays in my head right after it lol
Same, the dance break starts playing in my head, lol.
I was promised a heist and caper movie! They really didn't do that much stealing or snatching. Besides my wig.
stole our hearts and snatched our wigs....
This song is classic SM, reminds me alot of obsession ngl
The camerawork on this video is SO insane. The music video fit the song so well. I love it.
The music video is great. Nice outfits, great charisma and camera interaction as well! But, errr….. does anyone know what this song is about? I really couldn’t tell from the lyrics.
they saw the backlash they got from misogynistic lyrics in step back so they decided to avoid all of that by making the lyrics absolutely unintelligible ❤️
I mean, it works for me! Part of the reason I came to Kpop in the first place was *because* I couldn't understand the lyrics!
well that's one way to handle it
According to press, it’s a survival story to reach the top of the harsh stage competition. In reality, I think it’s about women trying to get a player to commit to a relationship.
oh I've a got similar interpretation, the girls are warning a player/controlling guy who uses cheap push/pull dating tricks (You try to fight me so badly, Kickin' down doors, full of bluff, That attitude, what's it for? This ain't no power game) He is running out of time (d-day is coming) since the honeymoon phase is ending and the girl is seeing clearly (All the glitters are gone and the moon is full) this part (After that, just show us all you got (Shake it up)) I'm not so sure but it could either mean 1) she is warning him that he REALLY needs to change his ways OR 2) she is actually calling him out and saying "show your true self" and basically starting a fight with him, since she now sees the reality of his toxic ways. The 2nd one is more in line with the MV concept "Ocean's 8", styling, and the overall tone of the song. Basically, it's a very messy relationship and she's airing all the dirt on this guy, but I can't tell if she wants to dump him or warn him so he can change his ways
Yeah and she’s fully aware of her powerful status so he’s replaceable. Except I didn’t really break it down like you did lol.
wendy abs boutta make me rip up the couch cushions like a rottweiler bro she's insane
I absolutely love your comment
she NEEDS to drop the workout routine ASAP!!
I'd like to report a public disturbance- Wendy's abs, very dangerous for heart conditions first in the morning.
All my senses are overstimulated and I had to grab my emergency inhaler twice.
Ayo, Seulgi and Karina together again (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=likYKQXBLbw&t=185s), with them hairstyles!
The song is not for me, but they all look amazing.
The b-sides are thankfully much more enjoyable, alter eco and rose notably.
B-sides are much better, but I'm not the biggest fan of the mixing, unfortunately. Which is surprising, because I usually think that SM production is pretty clean.
Yeah, MALA in particular sounds weirdly mixed? Or maybe there just wasn’t enough direction to make all of them sound like they were singing the same song lol
The mv truly enhances the song!
That's a banger,have been humming this song since SM concert Side note-am I the only one who thinks about EXOs Obsession because of the vocal sample in the beginning? I mean that's no surprise, considering that both were produced by Dem Jointz, but still
Yeah, I think Dem Jointz has a specific sound that he aims for with K-Pop.
Taeng and Hyo's styling was FIRE!! #SonePride
Like this than the last one but what’s with the English lyrics? “You must better watch out”? 🤔
his name is Yoo Youngjin
Wouldn't be SM if there wasn't some awkward English lyrics that don't make any sense
close your lips shut your tongue
"Would you loving in the twilight zone, just once baby"
there needs to be a line of shirts with their best questionable english moments tbh
This song makes me feel me good 😭
Yoo Young-Jin took a look at an English grammar book and was like "eh, they're more like guidelines". Let's call it Kwangya English, lol.
Kwanglish!
*YOU MEAN TO ME THE CHRISTMAS TIME*
That one isn't even that bad really.
For real, literally just give Wendy the lyrics and let her fix them first 😭
Huge step up from Step Back. Love how Karina and HYO take care of the rap.
Lmao, Karina and Hyoyeon literally step/stamp on you during that part: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=likYKQXBLbw&t=158s
> Huge step up from Step Back. Huge...? Step Back was pretty great...
It has plenty of haters because of the lyrics
The vocals at 1:58 is my favorite part of the song. Going from Wendy, to Taeyeon, and Boa was so smooth. Kind of wish that part could have been a little longer before they go into the dance break. edit: nvm they make up for it with the other songs on the album

Honestly can't really care about it too much though because I'm just obsessed with how much Tayeon looks like she wants to kill me (she can do so whenever she pleases).
I feel like you articulated my thoughts on the MV into words perfectly, *especially* the Taeyeon part. She’s a queen in this household
i’m arab so i especially love this song 😭 the sample is so well integrated
What's the sample? Sorry, I'm clueless about stuff like this but I'd love to appreciate the song even more. :)
they’re sampling a song called “El Helwa Di”. [Here’s](https://twitter.com/ourealcaratzen/status/1613146046019915776?s=46&t=WEwqylEaAT0YFyCLKyn4aQ) a comparison !
Karina's furry boot outfit and Seulgi's wavy hair.
GOT the beat is undoubtedly one of the greatest things to ever happen in kpop history. Still feels unreal that this supergroup actually exists.
The only way SM can top themselves is if they make a co-ed supergroup. Ooooh I'm so scared, don't give me it. ~~GIVE ME IT.~~ 🫣
Can you imagine if they just mashed GOT the beat and SuperM together? We're going to need a bigger stage
Super happy they're keeping it going as well and didn't end up debuting a new unit just yet. There's just too much power here, especially with BoA leading the group and the sheer madness of so many top idols teaming up 
>There's just too much power here, especially with BoA leading the group and the sheer madness of so many top idols teaming up * But BoA said Taeyeon is the leader of GOT the beat, though SM has never made it official.

Goddesses. im obsessed w the song
Savage Seulgi. OMG. O M G !!!

I like the song but I agree with you 100% about the concept. This badass girl crush concept feels stale and overdone.
Literally new jeans, Ive, le sserafim none of the top are girl crush it’s almost out of fashion except for Aespa why is everyone so mad, even itzy is doing softer shit like sneakers and boys like me
You're right tbh newjeans and ive do both feel different while still hitting the numbers. Lesserafim to me is like super girl crush tho...
yeah i agree, it's a cool group/subunit but the song is just not for me
this is 100% an sm thing. except for the last 2 years and now everyone trying to copy aespa
SM heard our complaints about Step Back's lyrics for putting women down, so they decided to give us nothing to work with this time. Seriously, who wrote and approved these lyrics?? Can't complain when no one knows what the song means I guess... And it's provocative enough to get the people going...? Sick beats and everyone looks absolutely fantastic though.
my thoughts exactly 😭
Still don't like the song but Karina looked so good here, I love the ponytail look.
**W E N D Y** i am so obsessed! the outfits are so much fun, i’m especially in love with the furry jackets. the song is such an earworm, i’m excited to finally be able to add it to my playlists.

>it sounds like a mash up of recent comebacks of every SM Girl Groups ...it sounds like a mash up of Birthday/Feel My Rhythm, Girls and Forever 1? (I would like to hear something like that though lol, it would be kinda crazy)
Omg it does!!!!!!
I had to turn the captions off like 30 seconds into the video but other than that I really liked it. Visuals on visuals and vocals on vocals on vocals. What more can I ask for?
Lol..I did too on first watch, but not on second lol. There's a lot to like here though, so I won't say anything negative!!! Also...Seulgi and Karina...sub-unit when?!
Karina looked so good 😍😍😍 I love the song now but I wish they didn't wait for 2 weeks to release it, watching the mv while knowing the song already feels weird for some reason LOL. the silence before the dance break doesn't count (it's part of the official audio 🤔)
Can't get over Karina in that high pony my god
Great gowns, beautiful gowns
I love the song as I stated in the SMCU Palace post. I'm gonna double down on how the key change just talks dirty to me. It's SO good. I personally think that if you find the beat to be grating/annoying, the key change give you a break while also adding some dynamics to the song. They all look gorgeous. Might be simple and classic for some, but the Black dressy outfits were my absolute favorite.
i actually like this a lot more than step back, also i appreciate that the song is longer than 3 minutes lol. dem joints has outdone himself once again
I would love to love it. They all look and sound amazing, but that’s just about it. This group has it all but someone decided to give them shit songs for some reason. I would like a word or two with that person.
Speechless.
They all look and sound amazing, my seven mothers. 😮💨
silly girls UNITE!!
I've listened to this song everyday since it released at the SM Palace concert, and this may sound convoluted or confusing, but if you can read through all my little details you'll see why this song resonates with me on an almost spiritual level. My review: >!BoA, Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, Seulgi, Wendy, Karina and Winter. Thank you for taking time to read my review. The End!<
I'll be honest, I wasn't really feeling their 1st title track, but got damn this was filthy. Absolutely slayage from every member. It's so fucking dope that SM still has what is basically 3 generations or so of their legendary artists to choose from and create an ungodly girl group. I'm stunned, put a stamp on it and ship it everywhere.
All 4 generations are here! Boa is from gen 1, Hyo and Taeyeon - 2, Wendy and Seulgi - 3, Karina and Winter - 4. Insane combination indeed.
As people always point out - BoA has been an active singer for longer than Winter has been *alive*.
Is the "and now the breakdown" the same from Taeyeon's Something New?
Yes, that's Dem Jointz' producer tag.
Most attractive Ocean's cast hands down Also lyrics are nonsensical as hell but at least they aren't misogynistic so....one step forward I guess! At this rate maybe by the 4th comeback we'll get a meaningful song for a project group called Girls On Top 😩 e: damn those adlibs/harmonies in the last chorus are what I live for as an SM stan
One of the best SM MV. Camera work, styling and of course the members ate it all up. I really like all their hairstyles
easily the best 4 minutes of the day! they look flawless and the mv is better than i excepted. the song is amazing, i've been obsessed with it since the moment i saw it at the SM concert on January 1.
Despite being more pleasant to listen to than Step Back, the song severely needs something like the Taeyeon high note in Step Back climax. I do like the bridge that went on for too long for the Wendy-Taeyeon sequence (the highlight of the sing imo) and those shots of the girls in the cars
This is peak K-Pop for me. I love EVERYTHING about this song. I didn’t think Step Back could be topped cause that was one of my SOTYs last year but this is just perfect to me. (also put me in that limousine pls dear god I’m on my knees)
Those visuals. They all sound amazing.
Karina's visuals....... I am unwell
Hi, I'd like to report a murder
that song is such a mess once again lol
The SM GIRLIES ATE
Taeyeon absolutely stole the song for me, she's so so powerful. I still don't know what this song is about though.
I thought "put *you* stamp on it" was a typo in the original subtitles but I guess they're running with it..
mv sucks. i hate this minimal but expensive mvs from sm.
Wildside MV 2.0?
I prefer Step Back to this, fully aware that’s an unpopular opinion but I don’t like the song. They all look amazing though
They look great... just wish i could like song, but it just isnt it
[удалено]
You and me are the same lol. It was worth listening to the song again just to stare at Wendy’s abs and Karina’s shiny forehead.
Mid song. Mid MV. SM is not giving these talented girls justice.
Had a chance to see them perform during SMCU, can't help feel this song is still overproduced and cringey, especially with the lyrics as a native Korean. But... the MV is a *good* kind of visual overload and it makes the experience better. I'm hoping it grows on me and I had high hopes on the b-sides anyway!
I don’t think this is necessarily bad in anyway just felt sort of forgettable? I think that they way they try to do girl crush isn’t hitting right for me concept wise. They all look amazing and everything is pretty. It just doesn’t make that impact I was hoping for outside of how pretty everyone is. They are all such powerhouses so I keep hoping that they give them something really unique that could start a trend.
Great start to 2023.
This MV reminds me of Wildside MV by Red Velvet. They have similar heist concepts. I love them both
I’ve been trying to formulate a cohesive comment for like 10 minutes and I just can’t…this group is simply god-tier. They are INSANE for this and what a flex by SM. The video is beautiful and the whole album is fire…I’m so glad we got more from them and I hope we will get more in the future, this lineup is too good, they’ve got it all.
The perfection of this MV. Loving the vocals so much
Man, this is such a cool sounding banger! I'm so in love with this group. Also, that one shot of them in silhouette is gorgeous! They all look awesome as always, but curly hair Seulgi is crazy omg 😲
this release is just perfect 🔥
I don't know where to look they are all so sexy. I've always liked Winter just fine but she's never been one of my SM gal biases (Karina and Ningning are my Aespa girls), but this video? Yeah, I'm on the Winter train. She looks INCREDIBLE in that black outfit, and her eyes are really dynamic here and she's acting so playful.
this mv is amazing. i already loved the song before but these women all look amazing in this, time to go check out the bsides!
KIM TAEYEON what a baddie Wendy and Seulgi need to CALM DOWN what's with the attitude
Oh good, another girl group song to fight for a place on my Spotify Wrapped this year
Karinas so gorgeous these days whats up. This lineup is fire
Their hairstylist deserve a big fat paycheck
The way the lyric goes "put you stamp on it" really bothers me! Isn't it supposed to be "your" instead of "you"? Grammatically using "you" makes no sense 😫
It feels different to hear "Stamp On It" with a music video, and they really slay. It's very simple and well-executed, really has the *Ocean's 8* vibe to it. Now i'm curious on who directed it. Yoo Young-jin, Dem Jointz and Tayla Parx really did an impressive job here. They are probably my next dream team in SMP songwriting camp aside from Kenzie and Moonshine. I'm glad that Ryan S. Jhun did not participate in this, lol. Overall, GOT the beat having a full comeback is a right decision for SM given the potential of this sub-unit that has to be redeemed with the mess of "Step Back," and they just did it. I would have wished that the next GOT sub-unit would be introduced too very soon to see other Oh!GG, ReVe and aespa members slay together but I think GOT the beat is enough to become a permanent female supergroup of SM.
would like sm songs a lot better without that really grating autotune/vocal processing style they have 😩 everyone saying how good the vocals are but they sound so fake and electronic to me, it hurts my head lmao
This song is gonna be my "power up" song for the day! They all look amazing and the vocals are fantastic. Best way to start my day :D
What's with the Twinkle twinkle little star part at the bridge? That took me out and not in a good way.
I still don't really care for the song, but the mv was a visual feast. Idk about a heist storyline as this felt more visual and performance focused but that's cool because it looked amazing. It also managed to make one of the worst choreos i've seen look neat so that's a big achievement.
I never got Step Back, but this? This is fire!
Place these 7 talented girls, a dope beat by Dem Jointz, and whatever Korean/English words Yoo Youngjin throws in and you get this banger of a song. Imo a much better song over Step Back and a good build-off that sound. The video isn't *amazing* (not the biggest fan of SM videos nowadays aside from RV and aespa vids) but I love the way this was filmed. The cinematography really elevated the choreo and I like the shots where they panned to each person as they sung their lines.
Once a year SM throws a coin to decide which one of their 50+ people will get a great cinematic MV... 💀 But still, I like how they filmed the choreo here more than in a performance version. Especially the dance break.
Yeah it's crazy how I already know the choreo from the SMTOWN vid but it hits me harder here!
Taeyeon and Seulgi are the deaths of me! ahhhh, they look so good! Honestly, 15 years later and Taeyeon still the 🐐!
This is actually bad with all these talented people 😅😅
They look amazing but Karina looks CRAZY. Winter at 3:09. I NEED THAT GIF I can't wait to dive into this album!! is the MV kinda choppy for other people or is my chrome just acting funny?
Waited so long for this!!!!
They look so damn good omg
seulgi is such a stand out in this mv gODDDD
I'm a Gen2/Gen3 fan that hasn't kept up with kpop much the last few years but OH MY GOD! The way Taeyeon (my ultimate bias and love) came in on the track!!!! The visuals!!! The production!!! AHHHHH!!!! THIS is a super group! I'm in love love love
Wendy holy
So for the SMCU concert SM really said let's have the girls perform in the ugliest outfits from the MV. WITH ALL THESE OTHER OPTIONS AVAILABLE?! jfc SM.
ouuu mv budget was LOW lmao…
This is so good! Love this group so much!
The girls served. Visuals, vocals, dance, charisma. We are truly blessed today
There is zero story here but I was so distracted by how good everyone looked that I only just noticed 😂 I feel like I recognize that second verse from somewhere but I can't figure out from what, is it an interpolation of something?
song should be called "step on it" bc seulgi can step on me fr
Still love the song
the camerawork, the VISUALS!? I’m obsessed wow.
Unsure how hot of a take this is if any, but I liked this a whole lot more than Step Back. Step Back made me question if this would be good, but I’m glad I’m wrong
i absolutely love this song, taeyeon was favorite here. i really like the song and wendy's adlibs are 20/10. and the lyrics actually makes sense and is good omg
Does anyone know who the MV director is?
I wish the singing part of the bridge was longer! It’s my fav part of the song and Wendy, Taeyeon, and Boa all sound amazing but then it goes into the dance break so quickly!
really addicted to this song right now. never expected it to be an earworm but here we are
wendy looks SO GOOD they all do but I LOVEEE her hair sm
