So Twice
just released their new song “Likey” and it’s great. If you haven’t listened to
it, I’ll hook you up fam just watch it here:
It’s so
great, I’ve compiled a list of all the reasons why “Likey” is one of Twice’s
best title tracks.
1.
Sana gets the hook
Let’s face it, Sana has the voice for hook parts. She’s high-pitched and
cute in a way that makes you want to sing along. She’s that stereotypical
hot-cute girl that everyone loved and wanted to be in high school. I still
aspire to that, I really do.
Sana is never going to be able to hold a song by herself; she simply
doesn’t have the talent for it, but god knows that she SLAYS her one line
parts, which is why she almost always gets the line that gets repeated over and
over again. She simply nails it and when she says “me likey likey” I also likey
likey.
2.
Momo gets a dance break
Momo needs to get a dance break in every Twice song from now on. She’s
been incredibly underutilized in this aspect since “Like Ooh-Aah” (and, no, the
dance break in “Cheer Up” doesn’t count), so it’s good to see her back where
she belongs
Also she’s hot as hell so that’s a plus.
3.
Dahyun’s trap break down
During the bride Dahyun and Chaeyoung get what’s otherwise a typical and
bland rap break just so they have something to do. However, there’s a shining
moment of glory when for a full 3 seconds the song goes full on trap and Dahyun
gets the concept she was clearly born to do: ironic fuckboi.
Also they dab, and as someone who still ironically dabs still I can really
appreciate that.
4.
The styling in general
Outfit wise, I think this is probably the best that Twice has ever
looked. I find that their stage outfits can be super costume-y, like I get that
that’s the point but it looks way too put together. I really appreciate how
casual all of their outfits look this comeback while still being put together
and cohesive.
Literally look at my daughters. Look at them. They look so comfy, which
should be the aesthetic all k-pop fans should want for their favourite idols.
5.
It follows the same formula as the
accursed “TT”, but actually makes it good
So for those of you unfamiliar with me as a human person, I consider “TT”
to be one of the worst songs I have ever heard. I hate everything about it. I
hate how it’s processed. I hate that stupid up and down electronic thing in the
background the entire fucking song. I hate what they did to Momo’s voice. It’s
just a bad song.
Now, “Likey” follows the exact same song structure as “TT”. Listen to
the two songs and you’ll see what I mean. However, “Likey” manages to do
basically everything better than “TT”. The girls’ voices aren’t over processed
to hell to make them sound cutesier. I mean, they still sound cute and all, but
it’s better than “TT”. The hook is actually pleasant to listen to. The dance is
good, the song is good, basically everything about “Likey” is good.
Unfortunately,
“Likey” isn’t perfect. There’s one major issue with it that keeps it from being
as amazing as it could be.
I WAS
TRICKED BY THE LINE DISTRIBUTION!!!!!!
Queen
Jungyeon has such a strong presence in the music video, and her lines are
literal FIRE, that I made the assumption after a few listens that she was going
to be one of the main contributors to the song. Like she was going to be top 5
in lines. But after seeing what the line distribution actually is, I’m not mad,
just disappointed.
JYP does
Jungyeon dirty again.
One of
these days I’m going to actually fly to Korea and riot in front of the JYP
building because they have this wonderful, beautiful, and talented girl and
they do this shit to her every time.
Bullshit I
say. Absolute bullshit.
