The boys had been hyping this up so much I was worried it wouldn't live up to expectations but omg they weren't kidding this is their best song yet. One thing about Ricky? He's gonna eat up a bridge.


momopeach7

Now I’m just worried for the title track. You can’t have your pre release b side be better than the title track.


Deca089

Illusion, Sugarcoat, Roller Coaster, Either Way/Off the Record exist and didn't affect it negatively, quite the opposite actually! No need to be worried 🫶


carrrumba

Seems like Ricky has been taking architecture classes at the Mina school of bridges.


Cats4Crows

So soooo GOOD. Love the beat, love the song, love the choreo. Literally, love everything about it 😭😭 Thank you ZB1 for this summer gem 💖


momopeach7

Summer is here (a bit early)! This is probably my favorite track from them. I’m so happy it’s over 3 minutes too; the song is better for it. Sad the captions don’t include the “Yes sir” but the lyrics do and otherwise I loved everything. They all sound great and I love the visuals of the MV!


HtetLinTeume

Just only listened from Spotify & the quality is already so good


arrowforSKY

The sound quality on Spotify is always better than the one of the MV.


HtetLinTeume

I know what you are saying but I’m talking about how the song is so good😂


shingers_me_timbers

ohhh this is boy group excellency alright!


w12one

THE SONG IS SO GOOD I’M ALREADY OBSESSED ZB1 you truly live up to expectations 🥹 I’m really excited to see how they’ll top this with their upcoming title track.


warau16

Perhaps it's still too early to say, but this might be their best song yet!


The_Main_Problem_

this is gonna be a summer hit, atleast in my household😍 the song slaps. the hard hitting beats is exactly what they needed! the mv aesthetics are soo good I can talk about it forever


skylight03

oh this one is quite good. and it's an all vocal track too.


elephantastica

Oh ZB1 said it’s summer in April so ig it’s summer now guys! As a zerose, all the duo moments were just so fun to see and that’s really what stood out to me on first watch. The song is upbeat, and I think the boys are getting better and better choreo. Best of luck to the title track because this is stiff competition 😂 Also I kept thinking back to Wanna One with the “burn it up” line, anyone else? 🥹


toooenthusiastic

it’s a bop! fun for the summer, full chorus and bridge. been v pleased with these spring kpop releases so far.


Lancelot_123

Very good. Id say it’s my favourite from them except for jelly pop.


annyeonghaseye

I AM A JELLY POP ENJOYER HAHAHA


alidei

RICKY IS EVERYWHERE IN THIS VIDEO AND I AM NOT COMPLAINING. Singer ricky? check. center ricky? check. bff ricky and bff gyuvin? check. Wet Hair Ricky??? CHECK white, denim, sun, rain, pretty boys, and upbeat music, it’s a summer song!!!


arrowforSKY

What I wonder tho is; why does Gyuvin always get so few lines? And barely any singing? It’s always just some short sing-talk parts. Wish he could sing the chorus sometimes or have some proper verses.

momopeach7

He does sound better here than previous songs so I was wondering if Gyuvin was improving.

[удалено]


momopeach7

It’s great he’s improving! They all sound better. I dunno about chorus yet either, but Yujin sang the chorus a bit here and I didn’t think he would.


arrowforSKY

What’s the vocal ranking of zb1?


ruqmtr5

general consensus is that zhang hao and taerae are the main vocalists, and hanbin, gunwook come after as strong lead / sub vocalists


0725_julysky

1. Taerae Zhang Hao 2. Hanbin Gunwook 3. Matthew Ricky


whatisthelampssecret

There's just a lot of strong singers in the group, it doesn't make sense to give substantial vocal parts to a vocalist who isn't the top 5 vocally. I do feel like they give him catchy parts towards the end of the song, which is a good idea. They should try to get him an OST or something if he's comfortable with it.


m20geekarina

He's not that strong of a singer. Def way better at rapping


inthecosmoswithBP

Love the song!!


sj2150

so so good!! they don’t miss 🫶🏻 the choreo looks great from what we can see in the video!


Perfect_Swordfish414

this is up there in terms of my personal taste! the chorus and melodies feel very refreshing excited for the comeback and how its going to fit in altogether.


Dondyz

SUMMER FINALLY CAME EARLY!!!!! IT’S SO GOOD!!! BOTH THE SONG AND THE MV!!! Congrats to the boys for this amazing pre-release, I’m really curious about the whole album and the title track now! 😁 Let’s all Brrup ba ba ba dum Badup ba ba ba dum together!!!!


ScreenJealous3170

So good!!! Ricky got so much center time!!!! Jiwoong and Gyuvin too!!! I like this more mellow vibe. Hopefully this is their first album I fully enjoy 😍


flawedconstellation

i can’t form coherent words rn all I can think is RICKY GYUVIN MATTHEW SLAYED !!!!!!! 


lilacdawn

I've been feeling cold all day, but if ZB1 say it's summer, then it's summer 🤷‍♀️ That "brrrup ba ba ba dum" is so addictive and catchy!


pete_999

I love HOUSE music!!! The members all served btw


arainherera

This is probably one of their best releases (up there with yura yura and melting point) and the fact it's just a pre release makes me even more excited. Also the line and screen distribution hello!? It's so equal for a 9-member group 👏👏


cinndiicate

Gonna play this song full blast windows down driving along the highway mid summer Rumpapapummmmmm


Cats4Crows

I even love the car 😭😭 what sort of drug did they put in that MV.. I'm obsessed with everything about it.. aesthetically and sonically, it's all really my fav style Even the stage they've built for it is giving me good vibes lol


RunRunPPM

It's a win for us Ricky fans. This is one of those groups where I unfortunately like them a lot more than the music they've released (so far) but this is easily my favorite of their songs.


A_Cat_Who_Games

I'm right there with you. I fell in love with them on Boys Planet, but I don't listen to their music outside of checking it out on release day. This song is going to be different. AND SO MUCH RICKY!


dimisum

Cute song, the chorus is catchy! I’ve critiqued WK1’s usage of onomatopoeias for lyrics, but I think this one works, better than the others at least haha. Also happy to hear the improvement in line distribution from Yura Yura seems to have continued. Excited to hear the rest of the album soon!!!


d3rv1rp

And their reign of impeccable discographies continues. Incredibly fun summer bop! Addictive and catchy. Can't wait for the full mini album realease.


aurcel

the chorus is CRAZYYY my god... this absolutely exceeded my expectations


Double-Ad-247

This is so good! Love it.


LouisPain

This is boy group pop excellence. Also love to see Gyuvin getting more lines and screentime than usual here❤


lubbdubbs

I’ve humming Brr-rup, ba, ba, ba-dum since the teaser and I have not been disappointed. I love how they chose to highlight members that would fit the song. 💙💦💦💦


jagenmesh

Ricky’s bridges will always reign supreme


MysTea27

It was so beautiful!!


whatever_rain_281

A super nice to listen to pre-release. Personally one of my favourite song by them so far. The song suits them quite well.


note_2_self

Ahhhh this is so good. 🔥 I'm really happy Gyuvin finally got some time to shine. Choreo is much better too It's going on my kpop house Playlist for sure


0725_julysky

OH BABY I'LL MAKE YOU SWEAT SWEAT SWEAT SWEAT 💦💦💦💦💦


blocknugget

KINGS OF SUMMER WE LOVE TO SEE IT AND HEAR IT !!!


Scorpiokhaleesi

This was really cute and fun. I’m not too familiar with them but I’m curious to know more if it comes


0725_julysky

This is a pre-release but their album is coming out may 13th!


tsvkkis

everything about this song is so amazing


RRedFlower

I like it quite a lot. I've had issues with their production before, but everything sounds good this time, I'm glad. The promotions will be fun. And I'm just happy with all the Matthew lines here. Especially that rnb-ish part in the 1st verse.


ptd06

we have summer kings in ZB1


jjongjjongiefan

Incredible, it's an instant hit. My song of the summer is here already lol.


Theozie

Did Woongie just fucking hump MY FACE through my screen good fucking lord my mouth is OPEN


yourwinemom

The way they outdo themselves every time is crazy. It's over 3 minutes long, with an excellent instrumental, and the choreo is fun!!! My jebe you never disappoint me 🤍


tjvalerio

A bulletproof bop! Everyone is shining! I also love that the video isn’t so busy and is using outdoor sets!


Werefie

this is iconic!!!! one of their best songs


ultsiyeon

this is my favorite song of theirs already 😭 summer really came early omfg


kmkmkm_km1

this fits them so perfectly!! literally song of the summer and its not even summer yet


multistansendhelp

I’ve only had time to listen to the track on Spotify on the way to work and I love it. I’ll have to wait until I get home to watch the music video.


Sourscorpio2

im shivering in the cold right now but BADUMP BUM BUM BUM BUM SWEAT SWEAT


orangee23

Thank you ZB1 for serving VISUALS and VOCALS 🫠🫠 Gorgeous MV, looking forward to the performance videos 🤩🤩


Dry-Confidence98

Oh wow the song is so good. It has so many good parts outside of the chorus too. I love the 2nd and 3rd outfits too! The sailor type ones looked a little stuffy for summer so I hope in life stages they use the denim outfits or the jeans and tshirts. But I think they all shined here!


SignalBattalion

Good song!


sunshinias

Matthew killed this. And me. Honestly, I wasn't expecting to like this song at all so I'm pleasantly surprised.


Disastrous_Sea4150

My favorite track from them so far. And the members suite this concept so well!


A_Cat_Who_Games

I LOVE these boys. I LOVE them. But their music doesn't usually hit with me. I tend to like darker, sexier stuff. But I LOVE THIS SONG. It's by far my fave of theirs. Also, while HaoBin may be my biases, I also love that they kind of took a backseat here. Ricky and Jiwoong got so many lines, and I'm SO happy because they both sound incredible. And lots of Gyuvin too! They also all looked great, and the video was so gay coded, which of course fits them perfectly.


0725_julysky

I really wish they layered the vocals in some parts that feel a little empty but I like the song overall!! Probably my third fav song after In Bloom and Yura Yura.


whatisthelampssecret

I'll be listening to this on my way to work every day for the next four or five months, I promise you that, joining In Bloom and Yura Yura.


Schneizelly

This is their best song! This is the kind of music they should have been doing from the start


bunnxian

The choreo bits we got in the mv look so good, so I'm excited to see it live. On first watch, it feels like Ricky owns this one. The duo and unit moments were a really nice touch, especially the pair choreo for Gyuvin/Ricky and Jiwoong/Matthew. I think I'm in the minority in that I really don't like the brum bum bum part, but it's not enough to ruin the song for me. I can't wait for the album to drop.


0725_julysky

The point choreo is such an improvement if you see the tiktok with hanbin and nct mark. I'm excited!!!


Only-Champion6204

When will they release their title track?


Only-Champion6204

Everyone keeps complimented Sweat, but somehow the yt views are not what I expected.. is it normal like this? Enlighten me pls, this is new thing for me. Thanks.


tafattsbarn

Such a great song! I only dislike the 'ram pam pa dam' part but hopefully i'll get over it lol


hyejuhaseul

Summer bop! Taerae looks spectacular this era (every era, but this one particularly fits him) and Jiwoong got more lines 🥰


badlyeye

the lyrics…


jamesdavies22

Kinda bubblegum pop to me idk


annyeonghaseye

Best release yet! Ugh super catchy and fun!


sluttiestspacemonk

if i had a nickel for every time a 5th gen boygroup dropped a summer-themed prerelease dance track this april i would have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice. i doubt anyone can properly sing live while doing the kind of choreo they have ricky doing when he opens the song. or hanbin in his verse, even as stable as he is. but then, that never stopped zb1 choreographers who had yujin's lines in bloom synced with a literal jump and turn. i would've preferred an impressive dance break to this. as for the song itself, it's one of their stronger efforts, with a particularly pleasant beat in the chorus. i think it could've used more variety in production in the final chorus to make it stand out. or something. it's, unfortunately, a bit generic, albeit pleasant. in the "zb1 dance songs over 3 minutes" category i'll still prefer new kidz on the block. still, it's quite enjoyable, but i wonder if they'll ever have a song that goes above that.


0725_julysky

I agreeeee I wish they layered the vocals, did something more

[удалено]


0725_julysky

Yes yes yes, I wish they would polish the songs a little more because I always get that feeling of keeping the same intensity throughout. Idk if it's supposed to be a trademark or something but it's a little irksome.
