yeah it's subtly weird. the bass rhythm is atypical and feels quite odd at first but then ties everything together in the chorus. i'm not sure but are the hi-hats live at least in the verse(?) they stand out compared to the other percussion and the brief moment they drop out at the start of the second verse is always unexpected but cool
the lyrics are mostly about realising a new self, they don't seem like anything special but listening to it while reading the subtitles has also made me weirdly emotional multiple times lol
i would really love it if some kpop producers mined cupid & psyche for things to rip and it's a real shame they haven't yet

Impressed by their commitment to the choreography, usually boygroups are a bit more reserved.

Girl Front at #44, I think I voted for it but can't remember. I'm pretty happy to see it place, I like it more than 'new' although 'new' has been growing on me.
Hitchhikker was my #1 but p sure that's not showing up on any list any time soon lol.
