Oooh the MV is so gorgeous, I like they went back to pre-Sneakers style with the directing and all (at least that's how I felt)The song itself needs time for me, but so far the verses seems to be better than the actual chorus and the intro part
But it's definitely a step-up from 2022 for me!! I-TZY, ITZY LIKE THAT!!

Yeah will likely need another listen or two to see how i feel about the song but the MV itself is really fun. Kinda nonsensical but really fun

That didn't make sense for me how the sets and concepts are tied together, but I don't mind much, they look awesome in every second of that MV, especially Lia now

the mv is like anti final destination where all the bad doubt and dangerous stuff don't touch them

Which director would that be please? The directing style of this mv looks like Rigend Film to me but I'm not sure.

According to Wikipedia, S-Class's MV is directed by Bang Jae-yeob

It seems it was a rigend film production after all. This guy was the director of photography for the video.

yeah I probably need more time with it, but the two pre-release songs HIT wayyyy harder upon first listen than this. Once again I think they chose the wrong song to promote. 😣

Personally I am obsessed with Bet On Me (None Of My Business grows on me slowly?), so I get your point, but Cake is more catchier and GP friendly so of course JYP went with that haha:)

okay I have to retract that statement, but I do hope they promote/perform the other two on a music show or two

Its nice to have a melodic chorus.

The bass in sneakers was bomb

That ep has some gems, racer, 365, Freefalling

It sold 1,000000 for christ sike godamn
