seoul eater her verse was wack tbh. jennie’s one was better bc there’s a few good lines in her verses which i can accept but lisa’s verse mostly did not make sense
Just like I didnt like AIIYL in the beginning, I didnt feel this Song at first. But I've lost count of how many times I listened to it and I already love it
K - Pop - K This didn't happen to me, but it did happen when I listen to boombayah and whistle. I didn't really like boombayah and whistle when I first listen to it, but after listening to it alot, it grew on me. But this one, when I first listen to it, I already fell in love with it. I think it's because I watched so many teasers and got so excited.
I think by the time the first chorus hit, I was sold. Before that, I was sort of like...where is this song going? But when I heard the chorus, it came together for me. I love it now lol
YOUR REACTION TO LISA AND JENNIES VERSES SAME (Also, Jisoo’s second part is really symbolic. Everyone was filming and admiring her before the fall, and then they turn against her. Loved it.)
Adna Softić I knew from the start that it's a diss to the haters.If you go to a video for English subtitles of Ddu du Ddu du,you will see that Chae's lyrics literally screams diss towards haters.
honestly even jennie part, love me or hate me but when when i come back it's a banger talking about the hate she and the members recieve but when they comeback everyone knows that it can't be topped
I prefer PWF musically but I agree this was their best rapping or more specifically, Jennie's rap was fire. It is also their "strongest" song visually and tonally which I appreciate. I think that might be Gloria Steinem on Jisoo's shirt when she falls and I wonder if the pink bob is a nod to Park Bom who was attacked by the media when she "fell" too.
CutleryWonder the jisoo fall was I think actually refering to Jisoo too. People love her visuals but with her mistakes with dancing, like the way her feet goes, she was criticized for that.
Jesanne Jade i felt the same with black dress of clc like it's just edm and they are riding it but after a few listens also, i love every bit of the song esp. Jisoo's high notes
I agree, the transition from Lisa's rap and Rosé's part is really weird. But overall I looove this song and MV. My favorite part of the song is the same as yours+ Jennie's rap verse and my favorite part of the MV is when Jisoo falls. The lyrics are dope too! I think this was a great comeback overall and I'm just waiting for the choreography video to drop hehe.
This is where it occurs to me that my taste in music is clearly different than most of the people that watched the new bp video, I love this song, it’s really my style and it’s probably my favourite black pink song.
PD: "Lisa's verse was so much better than Jennie's" Me: Hmmmm I wonder if he's gonna keep his word on that PD: "OMG I INSULTED JENNIE" Me: My girl Jennie just abosultely destroyed PD *laughs historically*
I'm a basic bitch too. I do feel like this new song is lacking something, but still really liking it. And that iphones/guns scene with Jisoo, can't stop watching it over and over again.
The song probably will grown on me, but right now the MV is waaay more strong than the song imo, wich is kinda of a problem since YG let them in the dungeon for so long. But yeah, the first half of the song minus Lisa sounded flat, but I had the exact same feeling with love4eva and eventurally get used to it.
At first, I was just like "oh". It's good but it didn't appeal to me so greatly as much as Whistle did to me before. But as I replayed it nonstop, it grew on me like how AIIYL did before. It's a really good song omfg plus the real expensive set and their outfits. It's not their best song maybe, but it's their greatest comeback yet.
hajimark yes I actually loved it the first time but my sister was like you she was like it’s a good song like I’ll listen to it then she left my room and listened to it alone and now after the 4th time she’s like this is actually a great song lol and she’s been singing the chorus through the house ha ha.
I absolutely love the music video but something about the song just didn’t sit right with me. It had me switching between “I really like this” and “this isn’t for me.” To be completely honest I was a bit underwhelmed with the song just because I couldn’t settle into a groove. That being said this is was one of the prettiest and fiercest music videos I’ve seen. I think the music video was able to shine more than the actual music. But that is just my opinion. I really don’t have anything against BlackPink but I just didn’t completely vibe with the song.
I agree with you, I feel like the flow was a little messy. The video, the visuals was just gorgeous! They looked so amazing. Maybe if they rearranged the verses from the members it would of had more of a flow. They all sound so good! The concept is so fresh.
I felt the same. The mv is amazing but the song not so much. I was expecting something more upbeat or idk... ofc this is only my opinion so don't attack me pls lol
I usually agree with his opinion, but when it came to this song. This song, proved BLACKPINK was on a path of their own. This song is the reason why BLACKPINK was the recipe for the future GGs. DDU-DU DDU-DU does have that Whistle vibe, which explains why Korea loved the song, but the song also has the hype like BOOMBAYAH, which international fans love. 2018 for sure was one of the biggest years for kpop.
Ok I really like how you pay attention and talk about every detail. Also Jennie can rap and sing and if she would have rapped everytime, Lisa wouldn t had that many lines. I always knew she is the rap queen of the game but Lisa did pretty good too Rose and Jisoo were amazing, I just love everything about this song
She- sus best rapper sure but vocalist HELL NO rose even jisoo vocals are better than Jennie I’m not saying that Jennie’s voice sucks because I would be lying but she’s is not the best vocalist in the group. You are hyping her to much
Tbh for me personally after vocal technique etc 1.Jisoo/Jennie 2.Jennie/Jisoo 3.Rosé 4.Lisa Because Jennie and sometimes Jisoo are just more stable. But Rosé is Main Vocal because her voice is just beautiful and she can hit high notes💕
YG is actually damaging Rosé's voice since she have to sing with that aegyo voice to sound more catchy.. Her natural honey and a little bit deeper voice is so beautiful. Her natural voice is like in "Without You" GD ft. Rosé.
I think this is my favorite blackpink song, I haven't listened to the album yet but there really isn't a part I dislike, I love Rosé and jisoo's pre chorus and lisa and jennie's rap was bomb, and the visuals slayed. And ever since Bang bang bang I feel like this more diconnected verse to chorus has become popular in kpop especially with Nct and usually (like now) I really like it.
I absolutely LOVE this song. I haven’t stopped listening to it since it came out and I’m really surprised so many people in the comments aren’t saying the same. I guess it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
Teddy's music signature is to be unpredictable. That is why if you can notice, all of Blackpink's songs that are composed by Teddy is like an amalgamation of different genres, even that random guitar accompaniment that just pops out of the blue. It's like two or three different songs mashed into one. I think that the end part wherein the end is "abrupt" is similar to the style of Playing with Fire--after the dance break, it just ends. And I think that is a good trait of theirs since this is very rare in K-Pop industry. Almost 98 percent of the songs ends with lyrics while theirs doesn't.
Konic Teddy's have his signature.. Almost all "swag" songs that composed by Teddy will get more upbeat and somehow not the same with the chorus during the last part of the song. It is like Bang3 and also Boomayah.
I don't understand why... Jennie is the one who really was trained by GD, is obvious because she has his technique too, Lisa has another technique, I don't know, as a person who has some studies in music, I wouldn't compare Lisa with anyone because she is really different.
TBH, I listened to it initially & was SUPER impressed. But then, I felt like it the more you listen to it, the less...."impactful" it sounds? Maybe it's because of #1) the first listen is basically the re-introduction of BP after their almost year-long hiatus, 2) it starts out with a booming entrance & sound, and 3) it's Blackpink & their image is blunt/in-your-face. While it's not a bad song by any means, it just feels more like "nice...what else?" Does anyone else get what I'm saying?
How many songs in general have people not liked after the first listen? A LOT. I think more people will come to like it over time. It’s a specific genre they’re going for I think with this song. And don’t complain about this song because Blackpink FINALLY had a comeback. Just be happy our girls are back and going to promote.
“Jennie cleaned up...” hahahahaha! Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 jennie heard you insulting her so she showed you that she’s the boss... laughing so hard. I watched all your reaction to BP. I Liked it.
I think he was right when he said the people who liked Whistle over Boombayah/As if it's your last would love this song a lot. Whistle was totally my shit and ddu du ddu du had me crying because i liked and loved it too much at first listen. I think it's just a matter of preference, and people not liking it should never be a problem.
I think you pretty much nailed it. The rap verses slay, the pre-chorus is weak, the chorus is a grower, the bridge is strong, and the song shouldn't have ended after the dance break. I fall into the camp of absolutely adoring As if it's Your Last and not caring for Boombayah, although I love Whistle. This is a 7-7.5 for me after several listens.
Your right, I like "As if it was your Last". Yes I don't like this style, though I like BlackPink. The Visuals were great, the vocals and rapping great. But they will do great no matter what, just not my kind of style for them or me. Probably will listen a couple times, but I don't see me listen to this any more. Just my personal opinion, like I said they will do great anyway.
Min Diminies i kind of agree. tbh its kind of me with fake love too. idk i think bts has amazing potential to explore this sort of rock alternative ish genre like with run and spring day. not saying i don't like their pop songs but just my two cents
KK/Jaehwan For me, this is by far the best song they ever did (as if they have many lol). At first, I was like okay not bad, but the more I listened the more I adored and appreciated every little thing. And imo one of the best songs I have ever listened to. It's just so catchy, groovy, powerful and sexy. Not to mention, the vocals are insane, rapper Jennie is back and the choreo is so good!
I really like the way you react to these videos. Whereas some people may only go surface-level and only see and listen to the MV once, you really took your time to critically evaluate it. As a viewer, it really made t=is reaction have much more value to me and I could kind of compare my own personal takeaways from the video with yours. Thanks for really putting so much effort into your reactions!
Honestly the rap and the chorus is dope..but I didn't like the song much. I mean I am not hating on them but it seems they sort of combined different elements (like the Vocal after Lisa's rap) and Idk it didn't work out for me. I would definitely watch the MV but not listen to the song as in the audio
Jungkook's girl YG getting bold experimenting different elements combined. But hey its not YG if theres so experiment lol. The more i listen to it though it was actually lit esp the ending party
i agree with you! the song is good and it comes down to personal preference. i personally didn’t like it as much as the other songs, it seemed a little messy to me
same! and i thought i was the only one thinking like that. the choreo too is a little bit underwhelming for me... i just felt like they could do better. its a comeback we were waiting for but definitely it couldve be better. four songs in the album and i was anticipating a slower song like STAY and yet we got 4 pop dance songs... i mean, i like it but i wouldve loved it better if the album was more diverse in genre, at least include a ballad where their vocals realllyyy show
I lowkey feel BLACKPINK just even knowing their individual music styles thought/wrote/sang better songs. But YG picked these songs as they sounded most YG. Having teddy produce everything is making things sound repetitive. I honestly still think Playing with Fire is there best song as it seemed forward looking and was a good piece all and all. Teddy did Sunmi Gashina and Heroine. He CAN do other sounds so I don’t see why he doesn’t experiment. I wish YG wasn’t so annoying and like SM was open to using other international producers just to really see what Blackpink can do. Also a whole year and FOUR songs, iKON got 14-16 on most recent one and 17 on there debut. HOW do they only have 4 - to be that says aloottt about YG handling of Girlgrouos
I’m so glad about your review... because it’s so blunt. I’m not a huge fan of this song. I feel it was missing something extra? But I still stan them as a group. I’ll wait for the mini album forever young sounds amazing
I really dig that social commentary bit with the iphone imagery. Everyone is focused on something until someone fucks up and fails in some way then they turn in an instant and become out to get you in your moment of weakness. Very clever use of imagery there. I’m not even a big kpop fan or anything. I kinda just stumbled onto this video. They’re killing it though and I have no idea what they’re even saying. It’s really fun and catchy and is something I wouldn’t mind showing up on my playlist. I love finding cool shit like this even though I’m such an outsider with kpop and late to the party with song in particular. Appreciate the reaction/review though.
I love your videos! I always wait and watch your reaction right after the music video because I feel like you have the best feedback, and can really express well what the fans are feeling and thinking.
Thanks for the reaction. "Not a perfect song", but IMO the closest song to perfection in the kpop universe. And there has been no division, it's the BP standard and Magnus Opus.
UGH WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT LIKING AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST/PLAYING WITH FIRE!!!! That's so true, I absolutely LOVED those two songs so damn much and this song... although I like, is imperfect.
I’m not one to sugarcoat anything even if I like you so here’s my honest opinion. First of all, YG claiming and having these girls regurgitate to the public that this MINI album took a year in the making is completely false. This man lies every chance he gets. Secondly, the video is more stimulating than the actual song. It’s almost like YG and producers said “Hey, what’s trending right now? Oh let’s do this and this and this, and so on. Tada! Here’s your soup sandwich blinks! This is what happens when you procrastinate and then rush at last minute. Now, I’m not saying that everyone will share this opinion but I’ve never seen one of their songs disappoint so many of their fans before. But you know what it still works out for the pervert because he had us waiting so long for their comeback we’ll basically eat any shit he spits out by this point. I will support BP though but this MINI album is not what I expected.
you said such wise words about the song & i can tell that you payed close attention to lots of things in this video !! thank you so much for that PD :)
honestly the song is kind of a mess but the verses were so fcking good that it heavily offsets that. For me anyway. So overall I thought it was a great comeback. I feel like I'm seeing the very best of blackpink through the song.
For me, Whistle is my least favorite and this is my second least. I think it is mainly due to Lisa's rap being oddly placed and flowed into the song Just me.
Same but after start to watching a lot of reactions the song is faster and starts to grow on me but im not a fan of this trap thingy or genre same with some 2en1 songs
I thought I was the only one, this was my least as well. i'm glad songs are added to their discography but the verses here are just sort of- eh to me. The thing that stood out to me here was the rap verse.
This song is kinda boyish style not like their older songs , that's why some blinks/ not blink are not really into it. But if you listened 2 or 3 times it was actually pretty cool tho.
Love your reaction videos, and I wrote my thoughts in a notebook about the album because I knew it was all going to be special, and I just want to say at the end, the gorgeous shot of them all sitting on the rotating chair at the end, it looks like they found their image.
People calling this song a mess and that they hate it, ignoring the hard work the girls put into they're comeback is very sad. These girls are on fire and everyone knows it.
Great observations and thoughts. I love this song. Listened to it and watched it dozens of times. For me it is one of their biggest songs. When I first heard it, I did think it was all over the place. But after a while I thought it was one of their best songs and videos. You're left wanting more, but I suppose that is what they want you to feel.
most of their songs are pretty strong but lyric-wise i like this one the most? idk but i just like kpop songs where idols call out the media for their flaws lmao i just hope that they're not gonna do a drive-by if they wanna hit them with that "ddu-du ddu-du" 💀💀 i can't be the only one who thought that the ddu-du ddu-du was supposed to represent the sound of the lightstick when you hit it against something
im glad after leaving fans hanging without a comeback for a year and then dropping this with song with almost everything a mv can offer is really good for them.
simple choreography for the chorus/instrumental break is actually a really smart marketing technique. you see this a lot with a group like twice, a commercial monster group. blackpink uses less challenging choreography for the chorus so that people will learn it more easily and the song will be spread more.
The song n the video were both so amazing they completely changed their beats and song choice it was so dynamically combined and perfect their growing so good and the chorus was amazing too Bc it created a soft beat before it hit the hardcore stuff
In my opinion the song actually had potential to be a great one if they didn't go crazy with the mix of all these beats , the build up and transition seems weird and forced. I had high expectations! A bit disappointed 😏
@@kavyasundar7240 lol a year late but still gonna point out that this song got more than a billion views and won multiple awards and forever young is PDs fav bp song
im happy u always seem to be so genuine w/ ur thoughts? bc ive only seen people praise this song to high heavens just bc it's blackpink & the mv is coollooking but like.... i never got a sense of melody from it and im glad u pointed out how confusing the prechoruses are
emmmmm, I like whistle and as if your last after 1st listen.....but after listening this song like 5 times and this still doesn't work for me.....i will wait for the next cb....I think that lisa stand more out in most of songs regarding to rap part but still Jennie is YG's fav.....
BTW I have another additional interpretation for jisoo's part of falling (might just be my own overinterpretion of the scene): people only admire the long hair jisoo and after she has changed her style, nobody care about her before her fall. might represent the hardship in changing style for girl group in kpop world, since people used to goddess/girlish type instead of girl crush style.
Hahahah, maybe for you. Well, at least Jennie got treated well by YG regarding everything. Have fun then 🤷♀️ and I just pray that BP will not turn into situation 2NE1 vers.2 aka CL and her back ups...
Beause Jennie is often called “The princess of YG”, due to the reasons that YG chose her himself, showed her first to the public, and let her collab with GD, seungri and lee hi? The only member that had feat in a song beside than her is rose, in 1 GD song.....while other 2 got nothing?
the reason why the smoke in the end wasn't half black and pink, because if you actually look closely, the pink smoke is spreading into a black background.... duh..
2:00 "i think lisa's verse was way better than jennie's"
me: little did he know
seoul eater boi im squeaking to this comment hahahaha
Karla Farinas you don’t like Lisa’s rap her rap was fantastic and slay 😂🔥😭❤️
No, she/he didn’t mean that مرايم محمد
He/she meant that Jennie’s part was better (her opinion) but they liked Lisa’s part too
KANG SEULGI nope he thought in the beginning was jennie rap so he easily dismissed her like most people in this fandom does
seoul eater her verse was wack tbh. jennie’s one was better bc there’s a few good lines in her verses which i can accept but lisa’s verse mostly did not make sense
Just like I didnt like AIIYL in the beginning, I didnt feel this Song at first. But I've lost count of how many times I listened to it and I already love it
K - Pop - K SAMEEEEE, SAME GOES TO LOVE SCENARIO AND EVERYDAY.

ARMY BLINK EXO-L SHAWOL INSPRIT LOVER is Also to just social media in general and not specifically BP. It happens to so many idols
Why you didn't include rose?😿

I think that might be Gloria Steinem on Jisoo's shirt when she falls and I wonder if the pink bob is a nod to Park Bom who was attacked by the media when she "fell" too.
CutleryWonder great analysis actually
I thought the pink wig was a nod to Minzy from "Falling In Love" era 😂
CutleryWonder this is the mv where jisoo hit her highest note to every blackpink song
oh this describes what im trying to explain to people
so thank you!
CutleryWonder the jisoo fall was I think actually refering to Jisoo too. People love her visuals but with her mistakes with dancing, like the way her feet goes, she was criticized for that.
They killed it with the wardrobe and sets. As usual.
Caleb Platt As expected of YG, one of the most expensive and brand intensive companies 😅
Khalduras Oh yea forgot it was one of the big 3. But still, those sets though👌
Caleb Platt they literally killed it, theyre horrible lmao
Ignacio Osorio Each is to their own.
they really spoiled lisa again. but lisa slayed it anyways
When he said “I liked Lisa’s verse more than Jennie’s.” I was just like “boy, just wait.”
True
Me too
and lisa destroyed jennie in hylt
@@mammamia8866 God not this again
@@kmiinji it was better than d4 rap
I saw your live and agree with you. But this song grew on me in just 2 hours. I LOVE IT.
Same
This song grew on me third listen
Jesanne Jade i felt the same with black dress of clc like it's just edm and they are riding it but after a few listens also, i love every bit of the song esp. Jisoo's high notes
Same at first I didn’t really feel it but now I’m just jamming
Jesanne Jade true same for me too
When you think Jennie's already rapping on her first verse then she be like: "im not yet done, im the boss"
I agree, the transition from Lisa's rap and Rosé's part is really weird. But overall I looove this song and MV. My favorite part of the song is the same as yours+ Jennie's rap verse and my favorite part of the MV is when Jisoo falls.

This is where it occurs to me that my taste in music is clearly different than most of the people that watched the new bp video, I love this song, it’s really my style and it’s probably my favourite black pink song.
MikeSG87 saaaaame. Some don't like it coz I think they're not into EDM
Ikr same,I’ve noticed that with songs that have many changes that people don’t like I always like it. 😂
Lisa Alison people just have different tastes in music. We're all different 😊
Kate Randoms thats not at all the case. Its because its messy and feels like 3 songs mashed together.
same tbh, until they released kill this love... and omg
the jennie effect
It’s so cool to read peoples opinions on this song before anyone could even imagine the impact this song would make within kpop and on a global scale
I completely agree! It definitely needs a couple of listens! the rapping was amazing the rap verses and the breakdown parts are the best
PD: "Lisa's verse was so much better than Jennie's"
Me: Hmmmm I wonder if he's gonna keep his word on that
PD: "OMG I INSULTED JENNIE"

Yeah, i even felt that song didnt took that long to produce. But the video... Damn
It was like bland... DAMN LISA... bland.... WOAH I DIDNT EXPECT THAT... YOOOO JENNNIEEEEEEEEE...... meh..... ROSÈ WTF
Jennism - so basically u expected more from jisoo..
What I loved Jisoo's part the most though?
At first, I was just like "oh". It's good but it didn't appeal to me so greatly as much as Whistle did to me before. But as I replayed it nonstop, it grew on me like how AIIYL did before.

Aline Yessss. I know that he will change his mind after the first chorus
Soyeon is my bae Stan G I-DLE You also stan Soyeon? She s like Jennie s twin and my bias from Gidle
Aline ikr
everyone is like " Oh this is why she's the main rapper"
Aline RIGHGHHHT?! Ahaha I was like boi, hold your weave.
The part when PD commented about the "two types" of people was so on point. I absolutely adore Whistle and I like this song a lot.
I saw this live! Happy to watch this again lol
Omg, when you said that people who like ddu du ddu du preferred Whistle more then Boombayah I totally freaked out. Cause that was me.
이노츄 sameee
same
I absolutely love the music video but something about the song just didn’t sit right with me. It had me switching between “I really like this” and “this isn’t for me.” To be completely honest I was a bit underwhelmed with the song just because I couldn’t settle into a groove.

-.-
I lost my jams slipping into the diamond life try understanding the video and lyrics you will love it.
I lost my jams slipping into the diamond life yeah the chorus of ddu ddu thing doesn't fit at all
I didnt really like the music break throughout the chorus but the actual verses are significantly better than anything theyve put out thus far
How i felt when i first listened to the song
I kinda only liked the hook other than that I felt the song was a bit messy
Ina S exactly my thoughts, it’s everywhere and has no real direction
kayleigh exactly, it's their comeback after a one year hiatus I had higher expectations
I think because the genre is EDM. I'M INTO EDM SO I VERY MUCH LIKE THE SONG. HELL, I LOVE IT!!
PD, I’m really looking forward to your album reaction!
I saw a little of live stream and you left me really curious of your opinion
I usually agree with his opinion, but when it came to this song. This song, proved BLACKPINK was on a path of their own. This song is the reason why BLACKPINK was the recipe for the future GGs. DDU-DU DDU-DU does have that Whistle vibe, which explains why Korea loved the song, but the song also has the hype like BOOMBAYAH, which international fans love. 2018 for sure was one of the biggest years for kpop.
Fast forward 4 years: almost 2B views on 4D MV! LOL -- I think the whole world fell in love with them!
Damn. I didn't realize how much I missed 4minute's Crazy/Hate trap/dubstep packaged in K-pop format. No wonder how naturally this song appealed to me.
Ok I really like how you pay attention and talk about every detail. Also Jennie can rap and sing and if she would have rapped everytime, Lisa wouldn t had that many lines. I always knew she is the rap queen of the game but Lisa did pretty good too
Rose and Jisoo were amazing, I just love everything about this song
She- sus best rapper sure but vocalist HELL NO rose even jisoo vocals are better than Jennie I’m not saying that Jennie’s voice sucks because I would be lying but she’s is not the best vocalist in the group. You are hyping her to much
Ellie stell Watch them live
Jennie s voice is so powerful and along with Jisoo, the most stabile
Tbh for me personally after vocal technique etc
1.Jisoo/Jennie
2.Jennie/Jisoo
3.Rosé
4.Lisa
Because Jennie and sometimes Jisoo are just more stable. But Rosé is Main Vocal because her voice is just beautiful and she can hit high notes💕
YG is actually damaging Rosé's voice since she have to sing with that aegyo voice to sound more catchy.. Her natural honey and a little bit deeper voice is so beautiful. Her natural voice is like in "Without You" GD ft. Rosé.
@She- sus... You're right it is biased
came back 4 years later and this song is one of the most successful kpop songs ever
Lisa's rap was 🔥
Andressa Cipriano jennie's rap was more lit,hehehe
Yow Yow We can agree to disagree c;
yes!!! that was the most memorable part for me tbh despite it being the shortest
I think so too!!
She killed it
I think this is my favorite blackpink song, I haven't listened to the album yet but there really isn't a part I dislike, I love Rosé and jisoo's pre chorus and lisa and jennie's rap was bomb, and the visuals slayed. And ever since Bang bang bang I feel like this more diconnected verse to chorus has become popular in kpop especially with Nct and usually (like now) I really like it.
Agree with u
Imagine if they make 2 sub-units; BLACK and PINK. 😱
Breybreyyy OMG
For black - Lisa & Jennie
For pink - Rosé & Jisoo
I hope yg knows this
So...
Vocal line Chaesoo (ik Jennie is in vocal line too but Jisoo is better no lie)
Rap line Jenlisa
They need 1 rapper and 1 vocalist per 1 unit.
No 1 would've thought that this will become the most viewed kpop group music video ever.
I absolutely LOVE this song. I haven’t stopped listening to it since it came out and I’m really surprised so many people in the comments aren’t saying the same. I guess it’s not everyone’s cup of tea.
Teddy's music signature is to be unpredictable. That is why if you can notice, all of Blackpink's songs that are composed by Teddy is like an amalgamation of different genres, even that random guitar accompaniment that just pops out of the blue. It's like two or three different songs mashed into one. I think that the end part wherein the end is "abrupt" is similar to the style of Playing with Fire--after the dance break, it just ends. And I think that is a good trait of theirs since this is very rare in K-Pop industry. Almost 98 percent of the songs ends with lyrics while theirs doesn't.
Konic Teddy's have his signature.. Almost all "swag" songs that composed by Teddy will get more upbeat and somehow not the same with the chorus during the last part of the song. It is like Bang3 and also Boomayah.
Disagreed
This is one of the most successful songs in their discography. The way they changed the game and introduce this kind of hype and styles.
But for me, the first timei listen d4. I directly declared that D4 is Blackpink best song
I’m so glad I stayed up till 5:00am to watch this stream ^-^
I think that’s a signature thing for producer teddy to improvise guitar in the song
Lisa sounded a lot like GD.. Like the flow of her rap and her way of pronouncing the words..
Shubham Sherekar DDKDTV said she had lessons from GD. 😂😂 WATCH THEIR REACTION
Kate Randoms I did.. Just after watching this one I went to their video!!! 😂😂
😂😂😂 good good.
I love their breakdown bout the song. 😍
Kate Randoms Yup! We can understand it from Korean POV! How it relates to their culture..!
I don't understand why... Jennie is the one who really was trained by GD, is obvious because she has his technique too, Lisa has another technique, I don't know, as a person who has some studies in music, I wouldn't compare Lisa with anyone because she is really different.
Form of therapy : " sorry but lisas verse was so much better then jennie's"
Me: "just wait bro ..... Just wait😈"

Me : "i told u so"
TBH, I listened to it initially & was SUPER impressed. But then, I felt like it the more you listen to it, the less...."impactful" it sounds? Maybe it's because of #1) the first listen is basically the re-introduction of BP after their almost year-long hiatus, 2) it starts out with a booming entrance & sound, and 3) it's Blackpink & their image is blunt/in-your-face. While it's not a bad song by any means, it just feels more like "nice...what else?"
Does anyone else get what I'm saying?
dcguy30 perfectly said
dcguy30 same,I was like "OMG AMAZING" with the first listen
Then I completely lost interest
How many songs in general have people not liked after the first listen? A LOT. I think more people will come to like it over time. It’s a specific genre they’re going for I think with this song. And don’t complain about this song because Blackpink FINALLY had a comeback. Just be happy our girls are back and going to promote.
YOU'RE THE ONE I WAS WAITING FORRR SHETTTT
“Jennie cleaned up...” hahahahaha! Lmao 🤣🤣🤣 jennie heard you insulting her so she showed you that she’s the boss... laughing so hard. I watched all your reaction to BP. I Liked it.
It's definitely better the second and third times I heard it, I'm still more of a fan of the b sides atm
I... I don’t know. I kinda felt empty after watching it. Everyone thinks it’s a bop, but after the wait? I probably expected too much.
yeah me too :( still love them
Ikr
I thought the opposite,but don’t feel alone many people don’t like it. 🤷🏻♀️
lol same but it's starting to grow on me
I think he was right when he said the people who liked Whistle over Boombayah/As if it's your last would love this song a lot. Whistle was totally my shit and ddu du ddu du had me crying because i liked and loved it too much at first listen. I think it's just a matter of preference, and people not liking it should never be a problem.
I think you pretty much nailed it. The rap verses slay, the pre-chorus is weak, the chorus is a grower, the bridge is strong, and the song shouldn't have ended after the dance break.
I fall into the camp of absolutely adoring As if it's Your Last and not caring for Boombayah, although I love Whistle. This is a 7-7.5 for me after several listens.
Your right, I like "As if it was your Last". Yes I don't like this style, though I like BlackPink. The Visuals were great, the vocals and rapping great. But they will do great no matter what, just not my kind of style for them or me. Probably will listen a couple times, but I don't see me listen to this any more. Just my personal opinion, like I said they will do great anyway.
very well written. at this point what they need to do is keep making songs to practice and find their groove and yg s literally holding them back
This is literally me but with DNA
SAME
Min Diminies i kind of agree. tbh its kind of me with fake love too. idk i think bts has amazing potential to explore this sort of rock alternative ish genre like with run and spring day. not saying i don't like their pop songs but just my two cents
KK/Jaehwan For me, this is by far the best song they ever did (as if they have many lol). At first, I was like okay not bad, but the more I listened the more I adored and appreciated every little thing. And imo one of the best songs I have ever listened to. It's just so catchy, groovy, powerful and sexy. Not to mention, the vocals are insane, rapper Jennie is back and the choreo is so good!

I really like the way you react to these videos. Whereas some people may only go surface-level and only see and listen to the MV once, you really took your time to critically evaluate it. As a viewer, it really made t=is reaction have much more value to me and I could kind of compare my own personal takeaways from the video with yours. Thanks for really putting so much effort into your reactions!
Jennie's be like "I've been training with GD oppa since time immemorial😎"
You not just react but you also reviewed the mv. I like this type of reaction where you don't have to be too bias.
No one talks about jisoo’s vocals :( they’re amazing in the pre chorus oof
This song will always be ICONIC! LISA's Rap OMG... Jisso gun scene WOWW
Honestly the rap and the chorus is dope..but I didn't like the song much. I mean I am not hating on them but it seems they sort of combined different elements (like the Vocal after Lisa's rap) and Idk it didn't work out for me. I would definitely watch the MV but not listen to the song as in the audio
Jungkook's girl YG getting bold experimenting different elements combined. But hey its not YG if theres so experiment lol. The more i listen to it though it was actually lit esp the ending party
Ye like everything were great individually but doesn't go well tgt:/
i agree with you! the song is good and it comes down to personal preference. i personally didn’t like it as much as the other songs, it seemed a little messy to me
Yeah i think their previous songs are better. I don't like this song so much even though i am a blackpink fan. Hopefully Forever Young will be better
same! and i thought i was the only one thinking like that. the choreo too is a little bit underwhelming for me... i just felt like they could do better. its a comeback we were waiting for but definitely it couldve be better. four songs in the album and i was anticipating a slower song like STAY and yet we got 4 pop dance songs... i mean, i like it but i wouldve loved it better if the album was more diverse in genre, at least include a ballad where their vocals realllyyy show
This MV gives me such "I AM the Best" vibes (or just old 2ne1 in general) and it's making me so nostalgic, honestly I'm LIVING for it
"I like lisa's verse better than jennies" JUST YOU WAIT Boy!
I lowkey feel BLACKPINK just even knowing their individual music styles thought/wrote/sang better songs. But YG picked these songs as they sounded most YG. Having teddy produce everything is making things sound repetitive. I honestly still think Playing with Fire is there best song as it seemed forward looking and was a good piece all and all. Teddy did Sunmi Gashina and Heroine. He CAN do other sounds so I don’t see why he doesn’t experiment. I wish YG wasn’t so annoying and like SM was open to using other international producers just to really see what Blackpink can do. Also a whole year and FOUR songs, iKON got 14-16 on most recent one and 17 on there debut. HOW do they only have 4 - to be that says aloottt about YG handling of Girlgrouos
I’m so glad about your review... because it’s so blunt. I’m not a huge fan of this song. I feel it was missing something extra? But I still stan them as a group. I’ll wait for the mini album forever young sounds amazing
I really dig that social commentary bit with the iphone imagery. Everyone is focused on something until someone fucks up and fails in some way then they turn in an instant and become out to get you in your moment of weakness. Very clever use of imagery there. I’m not even a big kpop fan or anything. I kinda just stumbled onto this video. They’re killing it though and I have no idea what they’re even saying. It’s really fun and catchy and is something I wouldn’t mind showing up on my playlist. I love finding cool shit like this even though I’m such an outsider with kpop and late to the party with song in particular. Appreciate the reaction/review though.
I really loved Lisa and Jisoo in this song
I love your videos! I always wait and watch your reaction right after the music video because I feel like you have the best feedback, and can really express well what the fans are feeling and thinking.
Thanks for the reaction. "Not a perfect song", but IMO the closest song to perfection in the kpop universe. And there has been no division, it's the BP standard and Magnus Opus.
Honestly, I LOVED everything. All of it from Jeannie's rap till the end. It was different from their other songs & I was like SNAAAAAP YAAAS!
The Indian chalk festival thing that you mentioned is called Holi.
shut up ignorant.
@@xaibenali7328 I'm sorry but what did you find ignorant in my comment?
UGH WHAT YOU SAID ABOUT LIKING AS IF IT'S YOUR LAST/PLAYING WITH FIRE!!!! That's so true, I absolutely LOVED those two songs so damn much and this song... although I like, is imperfect.
I’m not one to sugarcoat anything even if I like you so here’s my honest opinion. First of all, YG claiming and having these girls regurgitate to the public that this MINI album took a year in the making is completely false. This man lies every chance he gets. Secondly, the video is more stimulating than the actual song. It’s almost like YG and producers said “Hey, what’s trending right now? Oh let’s do this and this and this, and so on. Tada! Here’s your soup sandwich blinks! This is what happens when you procrastinate and then rush at last minute. Now, I’m not saying that everyone will share this opinion but I’ve never seen one of their songs disappoint so many of their fans before. But you know what it still works out for the pervert because he had us waiting so long for their comeback we’ll basically eat any shit he spits out by this point. I will support BP though but this MINI album is not what I expected.
you said such wise words about the song & i can tell that you payed close attention to lots of things in this video !! thank you so much for that PD :)
honestly the song is kind of a mess but the verses were so fcking good that it heavily offsets that. For me anyway. So overall I thought it was a great comeback. I feel like I'm seeing the very best of blackpink through the song.
Dad Gyul I think someone should use the lyrics to a different beat that be kinda cool to see
Do you like lovesick girls?
Him: Not a dance focused group.
Lisa, long legged Lisa: hold my beer.
That's my girl, Lisa.
probably my least fav track but it's not bad lmao. like i'm glad this will be added to their discography tbh
For me, Whistle is my least favorite and this is my second least. I think it is mainly due to Lisa's rap being oddly placed and flowed into the song
Just me.
Same but after start to watching a lot of reactions the song is faster and starts to grow on me but im not a fan of this trap thingy or genre same with some 2en1 songs
cgvtae k
oh ok..
I thought I was the only one, this was my least as well. i'm glad songs are added to their discography but the verses here are just sort of- eh to me. The thing that stood out to me here was the rap verse.
I'm just going to say that this song got me into Kpop.
This song is kinda boyish style not like their older songs , that's why some blinks/ not blink are not really into it. But if you listened 2 or 3 times it was actually pretty cool tho.
Just 0:17 in and I love your shirt! 😍😍 lol!
It's Lisa....everything is dope about La- Lisa
who asked?
This is my type of Blackpink. I'm going back to college and this is a perfect fit to hype me up everyday.
"The people who like this probably like Whistle more than Boombayah"
Well shit, you got me there
Love your reaction videos, and I wrote my thoughts in a notebook about the album because I knew it was all going to be special, and I just want to say at the end, the gorgeous shot of them all sitting on the rotating chair at the end, it looks like they found their image.
you were really finessing on us in the beginning there hahahaha
People calling this song a mess and that they hate it, ignoring the hard work the girls put into they're comeback is very sad. These girls are on fire and everyone knows it.
let's see all the people who complained about the build up of the song, hi?
Great observations and thoughts. I love this song. Listened to it and watched it dozens of times. For me it is one of their biggest songs. When I first heard it, I did think it was all over the place. But after a while I thought it was one of their best songs and videos. You're left wanting more, but I suppose that is what they want you to feel.
most of their songs are pretty strong but lyric-wise i like this one the most? idk but i just like kpop songs where idols call out the media for their flaws lmao
i just hope that they're not gonna do a drive-by if they wanna hit them with that "ddu-du ddu-du" 💀💀 i can't be the only one who thought that the ddu-du ddu-du was supposed to represent the sound of the lightstick when you hit it against something
im glad after leaving fans hanging without a comeback for a year and then dropping this with song with almost everything a mv can offer is really good for them.
choreography was so unsatisfied I think.
Anders Holzmann story of a yg artist. yg never gives his artists challenging choreos 🙄
Cheetah probably for better live performances. They rarely follow them always and just walks around
simple choreography for the chorus/instrumental break is actually a really smart marketing technique. you see this a lot with a group like twice, a commercial monster group. blackpink uses less challenging choreography for the chorus so that people will learn it more easily and the song will be spread more.
I think we will see the whole choreography when they will perform it.
Cheetah That’s probably because YG are more into music production and free style than choreos.
The song n the video were both so amazing they completely changed their beats and song choice it was so dynamically combined and perfect their growing so good and the chorus was amazing too Bc it created a soft beat before it hit the hardcore stuff
I feel like, u might like forever young more, cuz forever young is also a contender for the title track
Well, in my opinion it is🤷🏽♀️
POUKI who is you profile 😍
Peachy Pote it’s sik-k 😂😍
So appreciate your input! You're so detailed
In my opinion the song actually had potential to be a great one if they didn't go crazy with the mix of all these beats , the build up and transition seems weird and forced. I had high expectations! A bit disappointed 😏
Ina S I’m a blink but I’m gonna say this, I agree with you.
Rhoslaine Asa this comeback is my least favourite, I kinda think I know what they were going for with this song but it just didn't deliver.
Ina S true I thought the album as a whole was underwhelming. The same could be said for Forever Young.
@@Luna-ix3wi blah blah blah you are everywhere shit head.
@@kavyasundar7240 lol a year late but still gonna point out that this song got more than a billion views and won multiple awards and forever young is PDs fav bp song
I love your constructive criticism. You’re kind and helpful about it.
i also noticed the similar sets! and the smoke/chalk (?) reminded me of Stay mv
im happy u always seem to be so genuine w/ ur thoughts? bc ive only seen people praise this song to high heavens just bc it's blackpink & the mv is coollooking but like.... i never got a sense of melody from it and im glad u pointed out how confusing the prechoruses are
Jennie's rap verse in ddu ddu is one of their most iconics verse. I mean yeah lisa can rap but jennie is different.
When you finish listening to the whole song , the only part you remember is just that part *'hit you with that ddu du ddu du' .* but i still like it
"i insulted jennie then she came back with this fire"
"nevermind. jennie cleaned up"
lmao
This was fire. I did love Whistle so you were right in that department. Blackpink should go in that "badass black" direction.
emmmmm, I like whistle and as if your last after 1st listen.....but after listening this song like 5 times and this still doesn't work for me.....i will wait for the next cb....I think that lisa stand more out in most of songs regarding to rap part but still Jennie is YG's fav.....
BTW I have another additional interpretation for jisoo's part of falling (might just be my own overinterpretion of the scene): people only admire the long hair jisoo and after she has changed her style, nobody care about her before her fall. might represent the hardship in changing style for girl group in kpop world, since people used to goddess/girlish type instead of girl crush style.
jennie kim slay. period.
Hahahah, maybe for you. Well, at least Jennie got treated well by YG regarding everything. Have fun then 🤷♀️ and I just pray that BP will not turn into situation 2NE1 vers.2 aka CL and her back ups...
same 😥 actually i like their last 5 songs instantly first listen but this one.. newp 🙅 it hurts I had to stop ...
Beause Jennie is often called “The princess of YG”, due to the reasons that YG chose her himself, showed her first to the public, and let her collab with GD, seungri and lee hi? The only member that had feat in a song beside than her is rose, in 1 GD song.....while other 2 got nothing?
the reason why the smoke in the end wasn't half black and pink, because if you actually look closely, the pink smoke is spreading into a black background.... duh..
