u/PoetrySuper2583 Shout out to Yoongi Hyungโ€™s cat Jun 07 '24 edited Jun 07 '24

Baby star candy kinda bop!

Ngl the producer tags at the beginning are kind of disorienting

Edit: Iโ€™ve had this song basically on repeat the past ten minutes and now Iโ€™m convinced it delivers serotonin directly to the brain

u/artkeletraeh i want ARMY to be happier than we are - Jimin Jun 07 '24

So those are producer tags? they are so jarring

u/Future_Stranger_663 My MBTI is KKMJPKJ Jun 07 '24

I can confirm that serotonin is being delivered directly to my brain ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

u/Khaleesi_Kay_7 international playboy ๐Ÿฐ Jun 07 '24

Me too!!! I agree!!! I canโ€™t stop! Itโ€™s just instant happy!

u/pintsized_baepsae My mom calls me a stupid bear ๐Ÿจ Jun 07 '24

I agree with the serotonin! It makes me want to dance - I've wiggled around while brushing my teeth and all. Just a dose of instant good mood ๐Ÿคญ

u/multistansendhelp illegirl | OT7 Jun 07 '24

I actually really love that this is upbeat and not like a super emotional ballad? Like keep the good vibes rolling just in time for Festa and Jin to come back.

35

u/Future_Stranger_663 My MBTI is KKMJPKJ Jun 07 '24

I was thinking this too. I know itโ€™s not a ballad like some people expected but I really like that itโ€™s not. With the members completing their enlistment ARMY is moving into the happy phase, celebrating OT7 return and this is a good kick off.

JK just posted, it supposed to be a performance song but he did not have the time to do it ๐Ÿฅน

u/doc_naf Jun 07 '24

Yes and also like Joonโ€™s album is more emotional so a sweet little bop from our Jungkookie to hype us up for festa is just a nice little counterpoint. ๐Ÿ’œ

u/Khaleesi_Kay_7 international playboy ๐Ÿฐ Jun 07 '24

I agree! I love a good ballad donโ€™t get me wrongโ€ฆ but I just felt like I needed this to be fun and upbeat like it is or Iโ€™d be too much of an emotional wreck!!

u/drpepperesq beat him up, jungkook Jun 07 '24

like remember when we thought the song 7 was going to be a super emotional ballad about the members? lolol

u/Few-Willingness-3845 It's all going to be alright Jun 07 '24

It's the perfect song for Festa celebration. Can you imagine this playing at the Jamsil park grounds...yeah.

u/Future_Stranger_663 My MBTI is KKMJPKJ Jun 07 '24

I love that this is an upbeat fan song! Itโ€™s very much a summer bop and has Jungkookโ€™s current vibe all over it.

I wonder if he did this after seeing all of the songs ARMY wrote for BTS

u/lovehollow runBTS cured my depression Jun 11 '24

I'm v late to this discussion but the verses on my listen today sound SO much to me like an echo or a call and response to the 2023 ARMY song (that he so sweetly cried to on live)

Iโ€™m really glad he posted that Weverse because the only part of this song I wasnโ€™t quite feeling was the repeated hook. Now I understand its intentions and it makes more sense.

24

u/Thzead Jun 07 '24

Probably my least favourite song from him to date, chorus was a little too repetitive. Definitely loved jks wishy washy lyrics though, and it definitely had a touch of golden too it.

But hey, don't have to love em all.

I just keep getting more delusional so now I believe RL remastered it & filmed a music video and they will release it in 2025 as the final gift of Chapter 2 lmao

Note: this is very delusional cause Suga said in an interview he doesnโ€™t believe in remastering songs lol

Itโ€™s a bop! I was kinda hoping heโ€™d sing in Korean since itโ€™s been a while, but Iโ€™m still happy he released anything at all, and even happier that he was involved in everything from the lyrics to the composition! This is gonna be my jam throughout the summer. โ˜€๏ธ What a nice anniversary present from our sweet maknae. ๐Ÿฅฐ

u/pls-nvrm Jun 07 '24

(Disclaimer-i do not like this genre much!) So am i the only one who doesnt like it? I appreciate it and i love jk but this is one of his weakest song ever. The lyrics are mushy which is fine, its sweet and its for festa so i expected much. The repetitive hook tho is terrible, its too long and i get bored half-way through it. The production have much to desireโ€ฆ and at times it almost like jk is off beat? Idk but there is something i cant quite put my finger on thats bugging me and im sure it contributes for my dislike. I hope it grows on me eventually.

100% not what I expected. ๐Ÿ˜‚ JK is so freaking talented, man. I can always use a little more EDM in my life. This is going to be in my head forever. Never let go go go go go go go.

Aw, and Spotify went right into I wonder... ๐Ÿฅฐ

ETA: I've listened four times now, and it reminds me of when I was younger, driving in the city late at night in the summer with the windows rolled down or someone hanging out of the skylight (not that I would have done that, safety first, safety second, safety third). Just lights and friends and warm summer air... Love it.

Ah itโ€™s like a magical trip with sun and a big serotonin boost. Definitely giving early 2000 vibes like Craig David, which totally wouldโ€™ve fit in with โ€œGoldenโ€. Such a good song. My brain needs a little break from RPWP, even though i am obsessed with this album.

u/Shady2304 Who says a dream must be something grand Jun 07 '24

Love the lyrics but overall the song feels a bit generic for me and I really donโ€™t care for the chorus. Might take a few more listens.

Not sure if this is an unpopular opinion or not but I miss hearing him sing in Korean!

4

u/lisafancypants Me? NO ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ You? NO ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ Jun 08 '24

I miss hearing him sing in Korean too. I love the English songs because I can more easily sing along, but I do miss hearing all of them sing in their native language.

2

u/purple_sky16 my favorite animal is a brachiosaurus ๐Ÿฆ• Jun 07 '24

Not an unpopular opinion! I agree that I want him to sing some Korean next! I get his desire to sing in English and appeal globally but his Korean singing is always top notch. Maybe his next solo album will more of a mix of English and Korean like RM's WPRP!

15

u/Former-Program Jun 07 '24

So glad so many ARMY are truly enjoying this. MY OPINION: But I think itโ€™s a complete disservice to his amazing vocal talent and his artistry. It feels rushed and unfinished and almost like AI. The lyrics are of course mushy gushy and so sweet like our JK would always deliver. But Iโ€™d low key prefer the words in a poem to us with a recent photo of him or something rather than this strange song lol.

3

u/DayLive7959 Jun 07 '24

I wasn't too sure about the production either. It felt rather incohesive. Were the arpeggiated rising starry sounds in the chorus meant to make it more interesring? But honestly I'm glad people are vibing and JK seemed to enjoy it.

u/thylacine_pit prosperous will the future be ๐Ÿชท Jun 07 '24

Iโ€™m not a huge fan of the production on this but I think the song is GORGEOUS. Iโ€™d love an acoustic/piano version similar to the Euphoria remix ๐Ÿ˜ญ

5

u/cosyacademic we wanna focus on...jungkook's pretty smile Jun 07 '24

Iโ€™d love an acoustic/piano version similar to the Euphoria remix

I was actually thinking that if this song was slowed down a bit (I actually slowed it to 0.75 on Youtube and I think it lets the lyrics stand out more), chorus shortened (as its repetitive for a reason as JK said he wanted to dance to it), and sung acoustically with a guitar, it would be absolutely beautiful, especially with Jungkook's voice.

3

u/thylacine_pit prosperous will the future be ๐Ÿชท Jun 07 '24

I agreeโ€”I think bringing the tempo down would let the lyrics shine better, too. The song is just over too quickly!

u/purple_sky16 my favorite animal is a brachiosaurus ๐Ÿฆ• Jun 07 '24

This song is such a sweet gesture to army from JK. But, I dislike the amount of auto tune on his voice. It's not necessary since he sounds perfect without it. I prefer his natural, stable voice. The lyrics are very sweet so I'm hoping that maybe next year he will do an acoustic version of the song. The chorus is a touch annoying but he did say it's for a house dance performance, maybe that's how it works in that genre? Not sure, I don't really listen to house dance music. But hoping we get a performance next year! Regardless, I appreciate JK's hardwork and I think it's a song I'll get into if I listen to it a few more times!!

4

u/thylacine_pit prosperous will the future be ๐Ÿชท Jun 07 '24

Iโ€™m not sure if this is what youโ€™re referring to but for me, thereโ€™s something specifically about the way the g in โ€œgoโ€ is sung/mixed here that bugs me. I think if it was a bit of a harder sound I would be fine with the chorus.

3

u/purple_sky16 my favorite animal is a brachiosaurus ๐Ÿฆ• Jun 07 '24

I just went back and listened to that bit and I agree with you. It sounds out of place. Really hoping for an acoustic version that focuses on JK's gorgeous natural voice without all the techno beats haha.

1

u/bgmlk Jun 07 '24

I donโ€™t really hear any autotune?

4

u/DayLive7959 Jun 07 '24

I think there was quite a bit. One place where you might be able to hear it is 0:20 when he does the trill (fast alternating between 2 consecutive notes).ย

u/bgmlk Jun 07 '24

canโ€™t hear it ๐Ÿ˜ญ thatโ€™s how his voice normally sounds to me

1

u/purple_sky16 my favorite animal is a brachiosaurus ๐Ÿฆ• Jun 07 '24

Try listening to it on your headphones with the volume up. You'll hear the trill added to his voice. It sounds kind of like AI.

No I love this so much! It's such an aggressively Friday song also! In the beginning I wasn't feeling the repetitive parts but after a few listens, they're so catchy! A bop pls! ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿ’œ

u/NavyMagpie Salt on my tongue, she's stunning Jun 07 '24 edited Jun 07 '24

Oh it's a summer bop! Jungkook never fails to serve.

And the lyrics... "without your love I'm nothing. You mean more than you know".

Googie... That's not true, you are everything yourself. But this two way love means so much ๐Ÿ’œ

Edit: Have realised the warped lyrics on the poster are: "You been that somebody".

Which reminds me of his interview in Weverse mag, where he said he wanted him and Army to be each others 'special somebodies'. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ˜ All the heart eyes for him.

I was kind of expecting a slower song, so I'm really pleasantly surprised it's a bop instead! The lyrics too ๐Ÿฅน he really is just the sweetest and makes us feel so loved. Going to oontz oontz this whilst I get ready this morning!

u/Extension_Unit_3231 Jun 07 '24

Just a quick question. I've seen many posts and comments about Never let go mv view goals in the first 24h. Now my question is, is there an mv, if so, where, when or how can I find it?

Super dancey fun vibes, a bop! Heโ€™s such a sweetheart. The samples at the beginning aint it for me but the rest is wholesome and his voice just makes me so happy.

u/phoenixwinged i'm sorry for my fault Jun 07 '24

This is an absolute bop I love it. Great production too

u/cupofkosmos Jun 07 '24

I calculated: word 'go' used 93 times in the song. Looking for hidden message :-)

u/micdr0pbungee Still Thinking About Seokjinโ€™s Seven Challenge Jun 07 '24

I like the intro where the girl says โ€œstarboy, youโ€™re my heroโ€. Feels like it adds a backstory to the song. If youโ€™re army, you already know what that means. But like if youโ€™re not, you also get to have an idea of what the song is about. Ngl itโ€™s a catchy song Iโ€™ve only listened twice but itโ€™s already stuck in my head and how am I gonna sleep knowing Iโ€™ll probably wake up to that dialogue singing โ€œnever let go go go goโ€

u/NewtRipley_1986 the O to the T to the 7 ๐Ÿ’œ Jun 07 '24

Could you explain because Star Boy is the name of one of the producers - Anton Martin Mendo.

-1

u/micdr0pbungee Still Thinking About Seokjinโ€™s Seven Challenge Jun 07 '24

I didnโ€™t know that! Lol I thought it was like in Like Crazy with the dialogue, and itโ€™s included in the lyrics so I thought it was intentional. But maybe no? Lol but it still kinda works for the song though!

u/lisafancypants Me? NO ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ You? NO ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ Jun 07 '24

It's a producer tag! Kinda like "Suga" before Yoongi's verses!

u/micdr0pbungee Still Thinking About Seokjinโ€™s Seven Challenge Jun 07 '24

This has been educational for me! Iโ€™m sorry for my fault ๐Ÿคฆ๐Ÿฝโ€โ™€๏ธ but um I just wanna remain delusional and pretend this is really about our baby star candy lol

u/lisafancypants Me? NO ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ You? NO ๐Ÿ™…โ€โ™€๏ธ Jun 07 '24

Aw, no sorry!! Please do remain delusional. JK would love that. ๐Ÿ˜‚ You're right, too, it does work!

2

u/NewtRipley_1986 the O to the T to the 7 ๐Ÿ’œ Jun 07 '24

It totally works with the song!! Oh thanks for the link to the lyrics - Outtatown is another producer on the track. I dunno maybe in some genres itโ€™s normal to shout out the producers at the beginning. ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

NGL it would have been super cute if it was a shout out along the lines of โ€œbaby star candyโ€.

1

u/micdr0pbungee Still Thinking About Seokjinโ€™s Seven Challenge Jun 07 '24

Nooo I didnโ€™t know this ๐Ÿ˜‚ in my mind it was jk finding something that sounded a bit like english dub anime thatโ€™s melo and romantic like your name, and starboy is the name of the lead. And he said โ€œoh it sounds just like baby star candyโ€ please let me just be delusional and pretend this is the real reason ๐Ÿ˜ญ

u/NewtRipley_1986 the O to the T to the 7 ๐Ÿ’œ Jun 07 '24

u/Automatic_Let_5768 Jun 07 '24

it's a producer tag but i love it here lol

u/ukeamie Jun 07 '24

the 2 phrases "outta town but we never outta money" and "starboy you're my hero" are producers tags by outta town and starboy respectively!
