i like it better than DD. also the "빛 나는 solo" lyric lmao teddy was in a silly mood ig. are yg gonna start doing the thing sm is doing where their artists' music all connects together in an "alternate universe"

it's very chill and calm but i'm not mad about it, better that than pots and pans noise

can't the music video director be less obvious?

all these scene are the same 

1:07 1:20 1:50

also the ending is basically the same as lee hyori, the attitude, the face she makes, the title song on that sign lmao try to be more original next time

Another BP reject track. At least, Dumb Dumb was catchy af, a hit song, #1 on QQ Music China (still in the top5 atm), top10 on all k-music sites for around 2 months (2M ULs on melon), a dance viral hit on tiktok, nearing 100M mv views, etc. While XOXO is pretty dated, underwhelming, and basic. Really pales in comparison. I don't think it's gonna do as well as Dumb Dumb.

Song's interesting. She does have writing credits on this one also Teddy's like second to last on the producing credits. Someone called Pink Sweats mainly produced the track. Hmm. Song does have Blackpink elements for sure. Also this album is being distributed by Interscope. I think they're about to push her into her American debut.

I like it, has an anthem feel we've seen with BB, 2NE1 and BP so very in line with what we can expect from YG/YG sub-label artists. I think it's not as popular of a type of music as DD in Korea but we'll see how it goes!

You're right. BigBang had We Like 2 Party as an anthem, 2NE1 had Go Away and BP had Lovesick Girls. It's the shout-y chorus anthem song that is different enough but will become a fan favorite.

I listened to the song again and it's actually really good. She had a big hand with this album with her writing and producing credits.

yeah, it’s lovesick girls’ cousin for sure and the shot of somi with the three other girls didn’t help the comparison lmfao. 

the dance is also not up to dumb dumb, the key part xoxo feels like it was borrowed from the wonder girls’ so hot dance. i think it was funny that somi is wearing her own version of the infamous gdragon hat. 

i guess the important thing is that she’s happy releasing music that she likes.

Yea it's for sure a YG staple and a nice contrast to usual 'party' type music they make. I've always liked anthem type songs cause they usually have a better melody and are easy to sing along with.

I'm really curious to see it live though. There is no 'killing part' as there was for DD, which is why I think it got so popular. I wonder how Somi will embody the song on stage.
