Was Taeyeon's 'Why' ahead of its time in Korea?...It didn't deserve to flop.

[GirlBye]

 

looking at the trends this year i wonder how well this song would have done if she released it this year

 

instead it got paid dust

 

[Buttered Sone]

The GP needs to stop streaming just her ballads

[Iceprince]

Yes. Queen of creating trends. Anticipate urban pop to be a trend next year

[And JuIy]

or she's late to the trend when there're 34839457845749304 releases like that in 2016. Why and Way Back Home are not even the same genre. delulu sones as expected

[pinkpanda_spirit]

it's a bop

[GirlBye]

The GP needs to stop streaming just her ballads

 

 

they really only stan for her ballads

 

[secondgrade]

it deserved more

[Wonderwall]

Absolutely. Honestly, if she had released Why last summer it would've been a huge hit

[honeybbh]

fuck sm but they are ahead when it comes to sounds... taeyeon got bashed to hell and back with this song everyone was calling it generic but then everyone and they mama was releasing the same tropical house beats all last year and some still are 

[Acer]

the music for WHY is so mediocre like i get why SK didn't lob it 

[GirlBye]

or she's late to the trend when there're 34839457845749304 releases like that in 2016. Why and Way Back Home are not even the same genre. delulu sones as expected

1) didn't mention way back home or them being the same genre

 

2) no there were not 1234567890 releases like that in korea in 2016 if you exclude sm

[Himbo]

the only one ahead of it's time was Mr mith with these glorious gifs

[Lizzo]

ok why is a bop tho

 

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYY

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[dmlve]

it's my favorite taeyeon release tbh

 

the gp can choke jkilygp

[silicon soul]

It didn't flop though, just didn't reach the same highs as her slower paced songs.

 

But yeah why is still one of my favourite songs from her, she was ahead of the curve.

[sinnfb]

It's a nice, cute song but definitely not title track material. In fact, I can think of many Taeyeon b-sides that are better than Why.

[Hopkinz]

tbh it was ahead of it's time. Although I think it would be a little behind it's time if it came out now. Tropical House EDM was more of a 2017 thing. But I'm glad Taeyeon did was ahead of her time rather than just following the trend.

But it didn't flop. There are hundreds of solo artists who wish they could get half the success of that song.

[Uncensored]

What trend? JB's Purpose album set the dance-pop/EDM trend , then SM straight copied it (they even held a conference saying they were going full EDM route or some shit like that).

[Sarekif]

I feel like "why" is not  still not a public hit no matter when she released it, chill edm such as chainsmokers song / ed sheeran is the kind of edm which is popular to public

[CareBear08]

I don't give a damn what the public thinks about the song. I loved it.

[naonc]

Idk but I freaking love that song.

[SJJD]

YES it was case closed

[Jurassic_Jung]

BUT I LOVE THIS SONG!!! 


I love how Taeyeon's voice can adapt to whichever genre. I wish my bias, Jessica, could be as industrious as her lol.

[TickleMePink]

It's such a good song and deserved better
