That beat drop after the switch up into the last chorus is probably my favorite part of this beat. Almost sounds like a slight "wolf" sound as it drops 🔥. Also love the originality of the song. The singing howling sound as well as great mix of rap and vocals. Another masterpiece by XG and company.
Zay omg. yea the transitions were really really tasteful and creative. I love how the principles of how the beat was made is typical but they made it super unique to their brand. and that hook is mad catchy omg. I really think they should be doing even more numbers hehe. hope you've been good bruh. I woke up weird today. But just a reminder that I got to get in the drivers seat of my own mood. Peace.
@by9thplanet yeah I agree, I mean they are doing great numbers but with the quality of music they are putting out they should be way higher. No disrespect to any of these other groups but the fact that some of these groups are doing 3x 5x the numbers XG is doing being nowhere near as good imo, kind of shows how generic the music industry can be. As well as how not being back by major label effects promotion. However the amount of growth XG has made organically though has been incredible. Still only year 3 and they are gonna have so much longevity and are gonna go some much further with their talent. Yes sir, we are definitely in control of our own moods. I'm doing great though, peace and love brotha ❤️
@@Zaysj89 dam i jus looked up the math for their first ep. they killed it in their region! and i feel u. sometimes I feel like the numbers you do is not exactly based on how good just the music is :/ I like the more indie route more than the major route for a lot of artists. But idk if XG is technically major or indie? the label I was with was affiliated with a major so there were areas where we were completely in charge and areas that the major took care of. like a hybrid situation. I wonder if XG is like that? and I also wonder how well non-major label groups do in Asia. peace and love fam !
@by9thplanet yeah well I think Avex is considered a major label but only in Japan. Being they're a global group trying to reach a global audience though, I'm not sure how much of a difference that makes in other countries especially the US. Where they still won't get much radio play or promotion like you would say with Sony or Universal. So yeah somewhat of a hybrid situation. They have the budget but not so much platform connections outside of Japan maybe. None the less they have been on 🔥 and are doing great. Word of mouth always prevails.
XG handles bass so well when I saw the credits before the release saying they had an upright bassist I just knew they were going to go off. This song could’ve easily been messed up howling in songs often never work in songs but the way the established the melodic howl hits so beautifully. Love how you brought up the recycling of bars, because XG has really kept continuity within their songs lyrically and that’s so hard not to keep it fresh but XG tweaks it just enough to feel new. The bridge for me just gives the vocals line just that little bit for every member to shine equally on the song. Loved the reaction bro always looking forward to your XG reactions.
dh! what up og. ah i never noticed that with howling in songs before, but it makes sense! I can't really recall any song with howling that I actually bought into besides this one. ty for ur input and teaching me sum! and so true for the recycling of bars. sounds like you've written before :p
@ I’ve helped friends and family who did music, with writing lyrics. And occasionally I brainstorm songs that never really get made lol been like that since 2010 in highschool for me. Had a phase on TikTok where I did some write your own lyrics to song snippets.
@@dhanimals. that is actually really interesting lore. if u had music out there, i'd make it my soundtrack for the week :o how did your friends and family's music do that you helped write? I wrote song lyrics for fun when I was a child just because i loved music in general so much and wnated to try everything in it. it is such an artform in so many ways.
I think this song is the spiritual successor of their break out hit ‘Shooting Star’ following the momentum they gained from Cocona going viral on their GALZ XYPHER. In terms of how it’s composed, it’s very similar, albeit much darker. They’ve really refined their sound and comparing these two tracks, you can see how much they’ve grown. I think they’ve really found their sweet spot here with the balance of the rapping and singing.
Tofi! ah that makes so much sense. I did get that sense actually in terms of it reminding me so much of the shooting star production. I liked the darker vibe. I am loving watching them evolve yet stay the same hehe.
I think the standing bass was replaced for a midi sample then into synth cords then an electric guitar bass that was muted when each beat flow switched. Regardless, they dropped an aggressive flow but made it chill as an antithesis to Woke Up. Same message put on stealth mode. I really dig this Wolf Alien taking over the planet part 2. Or maybe this is part 3 since this dropped after IYKYK when these alien wolves took a spa day before launching to attack this planet lol.
yessss how do i Love this comment. ty for breaking that down. I loved how the bass sound switched w every switch up. I don't remember seeing that technique a lot before :o bahaha. is that what i gotta do to get a spa day around this piece
I am here again! To leave my comment! Soon you'll find me under every video at this rate lol normally im not that much of a commenter so its unusual for me too 😗 For the song, the first couple of times listening to this song i kept getting goosebumps everytime i heard the chorus, seriously! It makes me feel so many things at the same time, i dont know many things about production but i guess the thing that lures me is the feral/protective feel of it? I think as a Turkic women, i love wolves because my culture is interwoven with it so deeply, there is actually a myth that says our roots are tied to the wolves so maybe thats another reason why i resonate with this vibe A LOT. I still cant believe they have managed to do it justice with the music video and the production. Even the fashion is hella dope. I madly respect every person that was involved in the making of this.
I love it when ur here~ haha that is flattering. maybe bc we are having actual convos instead of just occasional comments :p i hope things are trending up n up for you. ah i can see how that resonates then! it was kind of like that "squad up!" energy hehe. I love that. I'm happy you shared that with me. Being American, I have only seen wolves associated with native americans and I absolutely love wolves. when asked what animal I would be when i was younger, I always said I'd be a wolf. I'd love to look up some material on the history between turkic culture and wolves. this group may be tailor made for you then haha don't forget to dance sometime this week plz
@@by9thplanet yeah, things have been stable, thanks for asking! Hope you're doing well too. I just finished my dance class so it's a nice coincidence 🤭 I love wolves, too! I have too many pictures from my childhood posing as a wolf lol. You are definitely going to be surprised by the turkish myths haha the most atrocious one is I think the one that says our ancestor was pregrant from a wolf and that's how the turkish genes were spread🤣🤣🤣
@@Nadya4cuties Serendipity. what kind of dance? Ouu i like that! Corea was/is called the land of Tigers because the country was absolutely crawling with them, along with bears and wolves. When the Japanese came, they were kind of hunted into extinction. Now the only wild animals you see in Corea are just other humans (jkjk). is it the Legend of Asena? is it the Gokturk origin?
Michael! I'm so dumb that I've been listening to XG for months now and hearing single after single but wondering when they'd drop an EP or LP. I finally looked it up and they already had dropped one before and this one now lmao. It hits different when you hear it in album form :o
ALPHAZ 🐺/STAY on deck. XG DON'T MISS! Visuals expands the atmosphere of the song and creates an immersive feeling draws the audience into a wild world. The music video depicts XG coming from outer space,🌌 landing on their feet, tearing apart a standardized city where everything is controlled in the same way, transforming it into it own nature, and gradually expanding its power. The work strongly expresses the group strong unity, like a pack of wolves, and their will to change the existing order and world in their own way. XG inspired by Michael Jackson. XG included Michael Jackson References. Moonwalk, Thriller, Howling, Close to Midnight, and Dangerous in their lyrics. Some Michael Jackson Visuals. "Earth Song" and Caption EO "We Are Here To Change The World" Visuals. Amy Harvey who openly credits Michael Jackson as her inspiration to dream big in the world of music. XG can transform themselves into different forms. Juria, a Goddess with Wings. "Howling" Juria, Goddess with Wings. "WOKE UP" Juria, Wolf Goddess with Wings. "IYKYK" Juria, an Avatar with Wings.
