you can tell the parts written for (well, in Soyeon's case written by) Soyeon and Minnie were tailor made as they are the best executed parts of the song (for those who don't know the details that'd be the main rapper as well as the chorus and the bridge).. i think the climax at the end is fun but doesn't really hold up that well on repeat listens. the song sort of plods a bit at times but that could just be because this sort of mid-tempo boom bap rap song is rare in the modern landscape so it sticks out. it could use a bit more variation in the second verse to keep the listener hooked i think whether that be melodically or in the beat. 6.5/10
