The company actually had a different concept planned for them and they just went "nope" and chose the title track themselves, with doyeon planning the whole concept. She planned the teasers herself and pitched the MV concept to the director. Which only makes the fact that she injured herself right before the comeback the more heartbreaking.
Also, you have to check out the stage for their b-side "Who am I" today on The Show, on patreon. Absolutely godly.
Thank you for this information Kangaroo-nim, I didn't know this! Also it's ok to be a kangaroo, no need to hate it. 😄
really??? that's amazing!! i need to stan
"Who Am I" is genuinely one of the best b-sides I've heard in the past 10 years, it's SO good!
who am i is probably the concept fantagio is going for, especially after cool. who am i is a much more bolder concept as a follow up to to cool, and the choreo for who am i is just top-notch. altho i like that b-side and it's choreo, i had to agree with him that siesta showcases more of weme's vocals and it's more of their "sound"
woah that's so cool to hear! i definitely get that sentimental feeling from this comeback. i'm curious though, did they get into this on a show or something? just want to watch/read the source if possible ^^
I feel like Weki Meki just suffers from bad timing more than anything. Their songs are pretty diverse but none of them are bad, any of them deserved a #1 but they almost always come out at the time of a bigger group. I just want them to succeed!
thisss!!!! honestly with better promotions they would've hit it big so long ago
THIS EVERYONE!!!!!!!!
Even i felt that too. I have comment on other videos of Weki Meki too that they always had a bad bad timing i always wish that they had pick a date which doesn't collide with other bigger groups because they have a really really good songs
I've been a fan since their debut but fairly casual; know all their title tracks and a good handful of bsides. Are they in risk of disbanding? I always thought they were doing fairly stable.
@@ruth3431 sales are going down every cb and debut album is highest sold. That was 2017
exactly. bad timing
This song gives me coming of age vibes. Growing into the adult you will be, but still high hearted, happy and fun.
Coming of age is the perfect way to describe this song
The “S” in ‘Siesta’ stands for SOTY
Yasss
True
Heck yeah it does!
*FACTS*
facts
what i really love about this song is the emotion-driven feel to it. it makes the listeners in a some type of way where in they're on the verge of sadness, yet euphoric at the same time and i think it has something to do with how the girls deliver the lyrics and their vocals. anyw, i really hope that this would blew up coz those girls and this song really deserves a win.
This is how I feel as a listener and I didn’t know how to put it into words, thank you :)
I totally share this sentiment, my thoughts exactly!
Same thoughts!
This description really fits i couldn’t put it in text but you really hit the mark.
Siesta is an s tier song for a K-pop group. Weki Meki never disappoints. At first, I thought the MV was a bit lacking, but knowing the facts on it and the actual song suits is so well. Give me a lot of western summer dance EDM type of MV vibes. Loved it, and it's a breath of fresh air. I hope they will finally break through. Because IMO, WeMe and Fromis are one of the k-pop gg groups with the most consistent sound and actually good discography. I never had one song from both groups that I didn't like, and they aren't even my ults.
Weki Meki should have become a big group ever since their debut because most of their title tracks are well known and loved in the K-pop community but they don’t get good promotion and generally have awful timing when having a comeback😭😭
Siesta has a As you wish feeling, kinda nostalgic and hopeful I hope it pulls a as you wish near the end of year
Vivace too ^^
The whole mini album is gold, personally their b side "who am i" has become my favorite Weki Meki song. I hope this era is the one where they finally find their sound and they finally get the recognition they deserve.
Luminous is also an amazing b side
funny enough its their first full album, for me personally sweet winter is my fave
the song was toplined by Anna Timgren who also did "DAZZLE DAZZLE". She's a musical genius!
pd praise Anna Timgren for this song but he doesn't like dazzle dazzle if im not mistaken😅
@@seanmeru280 yess that's why there's mo mv reaction of that
@@seanmeru280 Pretty sure it was mainly how the MV was which PD disliked
I am OBSESSED with dazzle dazzle which was how I initially got into weki meki so this makes my heart really happy :')))
@@seanmeru280 pd goes by they/them pronouns
Glad you mentioned the song is about sleeping and partying at the same time. Siesta means “nap” in spanish but the song is so festive and energetic you couldn’t give a better description.
WekiMeki never disappoints!!!
yoojung only sings in this song, she has a very nice voice for a main rapper. if you want to hear more of her singing, i suggest "it wasn't me" by raiden ft yoojung, from raiden's recent album
since doyeon fractured her wrist, the beautiful part that she sings in the beginning is covered by yoojung on stage ❤️ we hope to have all 8 members next promotions!
This song is reminscent to OMG to me in the best way, with their own WekiMeki twist. I think the sound really works for them.
that makes sense bc the producer is anna timgren who wrote dun dun dance!
@@wemestros Oh! I didn't know that! That makes so much sense! 🙏
Good ear!
@@wemestros also did the feels by twice and icons by hot issue, i truly love all these songs!!!
the only reactor who said it cleary the message what weme wants to tell us listeners 🥺🥺🥺 they thought about what's majority feels (especially the 20s people) as of this moment and came up with this inspirational song 🥰🥰🥰
13:56 It is doyeon both in the video AND singing!! Truly, Weki Meki did so, SO well in this mini album, their vocals are amazing!!!
when i first listened to this song, genuinely, i cried my eyes out. i don't think i've ever liked a group how i like weki meki and with everything that's been going on in my personal life i needed this song. i don't think this is my favorite weki meki title track overall but i think it's definitely a strong tie with picky picky as #1. i'm so happy to see them back and i'm so happy you reacted to them so quickly (and enjoyed it so much)!!! i really hope this isn't a disbandment song like a lot of people have been joking about ha...haha.... and i really hope this helps them gain more fans!
Btw, the "Boom boom fireworks,
Bo-boom bo-boom bo-boom bo-boom yeah!" Is one of my favourite lines ever, something about it feels so satisfying, as if they're mimicking the fireworks exploding
Loved your reaction! You really got the song and MV. Weki Meki said that it was about the ups and downs of life as girls in their 20s. It is very personal to them and Doyeon had a lot of input into the whole process.
Never clicked so fast ! I hope they'll get the recognition they deserve
I like the fact that Weki Meki has "never found their sound." More kpop groups need that diversity. I'm also a casual listener, so the more diverse their title tracks are, the more people they can pull in depending on independent taste. If one song isn't for you, maybe another one is.
it's been so long since weme released new music and this comeback feels like a long breath of fresh air in a very long time ❤️
Their voices stand out so much in this song!
One of their best title tracks so far along with Crush and Cool.
the emotional side of this song REALLY hit me at the right place/right time with this comeback. I've loved weki meki's music ever since I discovered them with dazzle dazzle (which I know isn't pd's fav but that's alright I'm still obsessed with it just the same ^^), but something about this song made me realize how much I missed them. the little nod from suyeon when they're all standing in that circle on the bridge especially makes me tear up, so I'm so happy they're back 🥺
Been waiting for your reaction!! I'm glad you get the message they wanted to convey with siesta.. If you watch the individual teaser it is all dramatic/emotional, everyone can really relate to it. By the way kim doyeon conceptualize it, but she got injured during the comeback preparation so she can't perform and promote with weki meki. I hope everyone here support weki meki comeback siesta and please buy weki meki album 🙏
Ohhh yes, outros in kpop, they are just the cherry on top, they really make me love a song even more, sooo satisfying..... And the emotions, I was totally hit by them, the ending shots are gorgeous, and with the outro, It made me realize how deep the song is...
When the song goes “every day Monday to Friday is the same” I felt that SO HARD and idk I felt very emotional on my first listen/watch. I absolutely think this could be a song about emerging from COVID’s worst times, about reenergizing ourselves after such a long and hard time, about that moment of deciding to keep going again and I absolutely love it.
wow, I loved your interpretation of the lyrics. I also got to thinking about the same thing when I saw the lyrics for the first time, actually the lyrics of siesta are very hopeful and when I listen to it feels like a hug from a very special and dear friend that i received in a hard time ♡
you should definitely check out their new album, it’s AMAZING!! i’m so proud of weki meki i missed them so much
I would like to see a Listening party for this album, either here or on patreon. Since this is your favorite Weki Meki title track the rest of the album will not disappoint.
i absolutely LOVE how much heart this song and mv have!!! a breath of fresh air both for weme and for me personally loved this so much
Though I did like siesta since it's a well produced song and it's quite easy to listen to, personally I think it doesn't quite compare to their other title tracks, especially since it's the follow up to cool, but maybe I also just expected a little bit more since their hiatus was so long
That being said, I'm still happy that they finally came back since I missed them quite a bit and I did really like the bsides in this album, especially Who am I, you should definitely check out their performance to that song, it's really good!!
agree 100%
I feel the same. I like Siesta but Cool is one of my favorite Weki Meki title tracks and Siesta did kind of feel like a let down? I mean it’s cute but… doesn’t stand a chance.
The pre-chorus is so amazing!
yess, i'm glad to see reaction that appreciate the song as it deserved, whenever i see comments talking bout how this song is just basic or not as good as their previous song...which i checked out and sparing out my opinion...i'd say as an old/fossil listener of kpop, this song gives me emotions of what it's like to enjoy n feel along with what you're listening to instead of the usual kpop songs nowadays that are more meant to impress you and tell you that 'hey look at us, we're oh so cool n so different n edgy n complex n whatnot' which..after awhile don't give me any effect anymore...but emotions and joy are something that doesn't expire or get stale, for me at least. yknow, it reminds me of kpop in those days and evenmoreso, fans in those days who loved and were proud of kpop for not trying to match American pop and were very different even if it meant cutesy, bright, bubblegum or whatnot(unlike now where that's the goal lol). i remember the days when that's the definition of 'different' by kpop fans. perhaps it was too long ago before the shift began n for the past years it has become 180degrees different meaning n now the past is more often than not seen as just cheesy. haa. not to say that this song sounded like older kpop exactly, it has its modern elements i guess but it has the feel/heart that you don't get everyday from the biggest trendiest tracks of recent kpop. and i very much appreciate that as a casual listener who randomly check out the song.
it was the song's message that's what the whole world needs right now, u are my siesta, i am ur siesta, we'll be each others' siesta
Thank u for supporting WEKI MEKI
Regarding who's singing during the "beauty shots", is ctually the girls being shown, both before and after the Chorous
The higher notes you like it most were Doeyon > Sei > YuJeong > Elly > Sei >Rina > Doyeon
Finally....a song and mv worthy of these girl's talents. Hope they continue this concept.
This song is great! We can feel happiness, serenity, and emotion at the same time when listening to the song! Actually WeMe has a lot of Good songs. And I hope people can open their ears clearly to support WeMe songs. Hopefully they can get their #1 Win SOON. But above of all, I hope they can last a long long time as a group!
Fighting WeMe 🤍
It's still criminal that they haven't won a music show!
Also - PD should go listen to "Who am I" (their b-side they're promoting)
14:03 it is doyeon singing! her voice is so pretty
I was really afraid that the D-Day will come after such a long hiatus and i'm still aftraid but it's really good to see them together again. I don't want to lose another group. Fantagio better not wait another year for their comeback.
and they did 💔 at least we get yoojung's solo debut next month and hopefully one or two months after that a weme comeback
Worth the wait, amazing comeback!
Everybody got to show off their vocals and the MV is gorgeous.
Also, i highly recommend everybody to check out the album, some great songs on there.
honestly this is such a perfect vibey song and we needed more of this on kpop
they nailed it. it's so beautiful, i love weki meki so much. i listen to their whole discography often and they're one of my fav groups musically. if they don't get their 1st win this time, i'm gonna be so disappointed.
the mini album is really good too!! all the songs and especially who am I are amazing
Seeing you so excited over the editing of the video itself and relating it to the lyrics and theme was very wholesome. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for reacting!!!
I actually really like the teen crush concept that wekimeki did during their rookie days. Also CRUSH still slaps!!!
this reaction warms my heart so much. thank you, PD!
To be brutally honest, EVERY KPOP STANS MUST KNOW HOW GOOD WEKI MEKI IS! They never miss BOP as always
Siesta is an amazing song periodt
while the mv is probably yeah limited in budget, i don't mind. it's a backdrop for the song more than anything else and i love it. not every video has to be super flashy and the center of attention. sometimes it's nice to just have essentially a visualizer for the song. way to go doyeon, you did amazing in planning this. we miss you!
I've been waiting for this one!!! Definitely my favourite weme comeback, something about it just feels so right and comforting. Despite being completely different from what they've done before this feels the most like them, if that makes sense? Like a turning point. Also seeing pd obsess over colour grading is my new favourite thing lmao
YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 🙌🏼
This was sooo good!! I feel this has a similar happy and upbeat vibe like Dun Dun Dance
Yeeeesssss!!!! I ducking love this song so much!! Can't wait for your take on it 😊
This song makes me so happy, I think it's my favorite song of Weki Meki and I love it
Thank you so much for making this video, I have been waiting for your video for Siesta since the MV released. If it's possible, please check out all the B-side, especially Who Am I. Watching the performance video of Who Am I is even better. You won't be disappointed ^^
Thank you speaking out Weki Meki's story. Pls also check "Who Am I" by Weki Meki, it's also best song ^o^
YEEEES thank you for reacting PD, I’m so happy, you seemed to really enjoy Siesta and that makes me even happier❤️
When I first heard this song, I accually thought to myself: Yeah, the break is over girls, you 🎵can't stop🎵 releasing your songs, we need you to be our 🎶siesta🎶.
Elly sounds SO GOOD omg
this song means a lot to me as it came out at a time when i was in a time of anxiety and fear, but the day this song came out it was like a warm and comforting hug from a friend telling me that everything was going to be fine 💙
weki meki managed to deliver a song that at the same time sounds emotional and welcoming, it is also bright and happy and together with the lyrics that have a very beautiful and positive message made this comeback even more special.
Thank you PD for this reaction!! Also I just like to let you know about EPEX's comeback called DO 4 ME. I think you mightve missed it since it came out quite a while back. I think you might love this so much since one of your main critiques for LOCKDOWN was the heavy rap focus. DO 4 ME has a lot of vocals so i think you'll enjoy it a lot
OMG????? WEKI MEKI???? YES!
I personally for myself can say that this song is very relaxing and very calming and I enjoyed it however, I do not think it’s their best title track song in my opinion I still appreciate the song but it’s not their best in my eyes and my taste. I will say that listening to all their other songs on the album is beautiful and it put me on a nice little emotional roller coaster that I quite enjoyed a lot and I feel like I needed to hear something on the softer side. I definitely appreciate the fact that we were given the opportunity to have a softer Music video as well as light and elegant songs to go along with their title track it definitely gives me a fresh air in tire images breathe out from any other group that’s giving me the hard Poppin music so it’s very nice to know that a group that I enjoyed decided to take a different route and give me the opportunity to actually breathe and just feel relaxed and calm.
But like I stated it’s a beautiful song it’s very fresh very relaxing takes you want to emotional journey if you listen to all their songs on the album but I don’t think it’s their best title track come back personally for me.
this song is such a mix of emotions and i love it so much
one of the reasons i love your reactions so much is because it feels so good to see you experience the same emotions as i do and express my thoughts like i sometimes wouldn't be able to.
A casual listener too but I absolutely LOVED this song, made me tear up
honestly one of my faves comebacks
One of the best Album of the year for me🙏i rlly like every Song in the Album their soooooo goood
Thankyou for this reaction ❤️ wekimeki is underrated and I hope more people could recognize them 🥺💗
actually you got it when you said this song can be used in a lot of condition. the main point was like waking up from a nap(rest in any kind of form) so you got a brand new energy to continue whatever you're doing.
and just like you said, this song is more focus on their vocals. yoojung even said that this was their hardest song in term of vocal. that's why their choreo wasn't as intense as their usual ones.
btw if you like this vibe, you should check their b side "luminous". it's an amazing song too. well this is their best album in my opinion, because all the song sounds so amazing.
YESS
Many thanks for speaking out all my thoughts 🥰
I'm actually very surprised you feel like Weki Meki hasn't had a distinct sound. I feel like Picky Picky, Tiki Taka, Oopsy, Dazzle Dazzle were all very much in a specific Weki Meki sound that I couldn't imagine other groups doing!
Great reaction PD. I love this comeback so much. Hoping it’s very successful.
I‘ve been waiting for this!!! Stan WeMe everybody 🥰❤️💛
we waited for that!!
weki meki just gives this different vibe like yeah ima chill here kind of vibe
I had the exact same thoughts as you. I reay love the entire album it is very cohesive and calming. Love it.
17:15 was yoojung and 17:17 was suyeon actually but since you praised her, okay.
btw i had been waiting for pd's reaction for siesta so thabk you so much for actually reacting to it now~
this song highkey makes me feel like i'm gonna cry idk if i should put it in an upbeat playlist or a sad/nostalgic one 😭
the individual mood films of the members gives alot of insights about this comeback as well you could just check it out on your own time if you want! nothing that much but their asmr-ish voices were so pleasing it fits the theme of Siesta much likely
yoooo the lighting is so nice the quality looks so good
they deserved a better budget and i'm glad u pointed it out bc honestly girlies have been hard at work for so long they deserve better
For someone who has little experience, editing and filming outdoor (with natural/sun light) are a lot more harder than the indoor set. Props to the production team!
I think the same as you. I’ve been a kiling for years now and this comeback truly feels different! Really mature and intimate and i truly hope they continue that way!
PLZ VOTE FOR WEKI MEKI ON STAR PASS WE ARE NOMINATED 😭 🙏 ❤
just.. just.. they did their best.. proud T^T
the day they released this MV what i was doing is just replying until the time i got to sleep
Please support them so they can get their 1st win!
I WAS WAITING FOR THIS, YIASSSSS
The first time i heard this i liked it , but now a lot of listens later i love it , they really made the most out of that non existing budget Fantagio gave them (my only problem is the dance scene , the background was to basic and the white outfits were not good with no other color details/accessories to brake them up, but ill overlook it since its WeMe) also funny enough the rap-ish parts were all Lua ,Yoojung showed off only her great vocals here (im shook enough that Lua even got lines in the first place let alone leaving her in charge of all raps) but overall its a great comeback and im sad people are still sleeping on WeMe after all these years
Please have a listening party for their album! It's so good
this track reminds me of TikaTaka (99%) which is my other favorite Weki Meki title track! i love it
So, where do I even begin?!? Oh boy, this is going to be such a long comment, sorry in advance guys...
Okay, let's start with the fact that I actually don't listen to Weki Meki. It may be that I've heard a title track here or there, since I'm an avid kpop listener and love discovering new songs and groups, so I check out a lot of recommendations. But their music never really grabbed me apparently, because only after COOL they stuck in my memory as a group to look out for in the future (which btw I'm SO glad I did). It could have to do with the fact, PD pointed it out too, that they had no distinct sound to recognise them.
Which makes this comeback even more fascinating to me, because not only does it fit their voices so well, like it highlights the members and their talent in the best way, I have found that it is super niche to them too!
You cannot imagine how many girl group songs I've heard these past days, trying to find something that captures the same emotions that this song awakens in me!
I found little to nothing!
I am ecstatic!!!
Because this means there is finally an element to their sound which is characteristic to only them. Super important fact if you want to stand out in the sea of releases these days.
So in my attempt to create a playlist off of Siesta, other songs that I've found to kiiiinda express the same mood and sound are IZ*ONE's Panorama and definitely Weeekly's 7days Tension. Also Itzy's Surf and Twice's Alcohol-free to some extent. Some more were somewhat close, but not really what I was looking for.
If anybody wants to help me expand the list, I gladly accept any suggestions, since I for one, am not so familiar with the discography of older groups for example. I'm talking strictly female artists for this one though. I've binge listened to a lot of gg who could fit the sound, like summer releases of Red Velvet or GFRIEND, also WJSN and Oh My Girl and a bunch of other gg, but surprisingly, none had what I was looking for. But I have still some more that I want to check out anyway like Lovelyz or Apink.
To help explain how this song made me feel, even though we are in the middle of fall already, it made me think of a fun getaway weekend, going out with your girls for a cocktail at the beach kinda vibe. I'm thinking lighthearted laughter, party vibes, like a rave near the ocean. It's a song that is cute, but goes hard for no reason; soft, but fast paced. But also something that captures the melancholy of a fading sunset and the end of summer or the memory of it, a bit of nostalgia even. And like PD, said, this sounds mature, without being necessarily a mature concept.
It could have easily been a full on summer song, yet it isn't, to me at least, and it's exactly because of this very light, almost imperceptible nostalgic note, which makes it is more so an after-summer song, in the veins of After We Ride or Tamed-Dashed - a little bit pop-ier than the former and less edm heavy than the latter.
Btw if you think about it, we really got the perfect releases at the perfect time this year: Oh My Girl opened up the summer with Dun Dun Dance, it was like finally getting up to party again after being locked up for so long. Then Brave Girls, who brought us all to the beach with Chi Mat Ba Ram, Twice with Alcohol-free, obviously inviting us for a quick drink and now Weki Meki with Siesta, going back for a nap, almost like we're finally officially closing the summer season!
The conclusion: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! Perfect timing, as I said!
Since Fantagio took ages for them to come back, I didn't really know what to expect, sound wise. COOL was a game changer, it really was, it showed how well they could pull off darker concepts, but it also made me question if they were going to stick to that newer sound or if they would go back to cute or girl crush concepts. The possibilities were endless at that point. I'm glad to see them in a brighter concept again, cause this is awesome, it really suits them so well, and even though Fantagio kept us on hold, it was worth the wait.
Glad to see the girls back, and now if you excuse me, I have to keep streaming this song because I am honestly obsessed!
To whoever stuck around till the end, thank you for reading, have a great day :)
I've definitely been missing this sound in K-pop since IZ*ONE disbanded - the only other song I can think of that fits this vibe for me might be Lightsum's VIVACE from a bit ago. I'm happy to hear more Kpop from this soundscape though and I hope that Weme continue down this path for their next release!
I really like the more sombre concept they have here in comparison to the more playful concepts they've had previously. While it wasn't bad, I feel like we've phased out of that phase of kpop. This gives me several calls to other groups (I get IZ*ONE vibes from the Siesta adlib in the background, as well as...gfriend? m/v directing meets Stray Kids b-side productions) yet sounds completely original.I think I'm most excited for this song though, in comparison to their previous comebacks as the song seems to fit the group's vocal range REALLY well; it also has this addictive...cozy? energy reminiscent of the one solo Doyeon promotion (was it a collab with LONG:D? I forget the exact artist, but that song was crazy addictive and warm, even though the ...direction/album cover was cooler? If that makes sense)
This was what I was waiting for since the MV dropped.
ONE of my favourite releases this year. I hope people will keep supporting them!! Hope you will listen to Youha - Ice T next!
PD has to do a listening party for Weki Meki all the B-sides were fire looking forward to seeing his reactions to the B-sides worth a listen!
