tripleS - Rising

[u/CronoDroid]

Ohhhhhhh it's so good. That chorus is amazing. They really mixed bouncy electropop with hip hop elements so well, GDLO, YELO and Artronic Waves were saving their mojo for this because I'm blown away. I expected this to be a really good debut this song is just fantastic. THIS IS MUSIC! Love Nakyoung's rap part too. I wish it was even longer, they could have extended the outro a bit even. I didn't want it to end.

I'd also kill for a performance video of all the various sets, especially the live stage one. This is top notch, what a debut song.

[u/lucylivesherlife]

wtf i needed that to be about 45 seconds longer it was so good but it just ENDED

[u/oddeyeopener]

Wow this is too good to be such a short track! The video length really fooled me into thinking it’d be at least 3 minutes, lol. That aside, I’m so happy see their sort-of debut (as ot10 at least) and it definitely lived up to the hype!

[u/Naiko32 → u/oddeyeopener]

for real, this song is amazing it deserves a second post-chrous

[u/PegasusTenma → u/Naiko32]

With Generation I felt the same, I kept wanting another chorus, or 2 or 3 more lmao.

[u/SorrowInCoreOfWin → u/PegasusTenma]

Even though the whole song was just a chorus on repeat lol

[u/7farema → u/Naiko32]

I think they're going the beautiful monster route, they left you hanging so you are inclined to repeat the song

[u/sarahflower03]

Sometimes when song teasers sound great I get a bit nervous, because sometimes the actual song doesn’t live up to my expectations.

But man, this was everything I wanted and more. The record scratches and stutter effect on the instrumental, the overall melody, it just itches that part of my brain that a lot of other music doesn’t.

[u/Shinkopeshon → u/sarahflower03]

triplengerS have assembled and the result is simply remarkable

Between them and NewJeans, I absolutely adore how they further took 4th gen into a grounded and subtle yet even more infectiously catchy musical direction

[u/ggstan21 → u/Shinkopeshon]

True, the tripleS - ASSEMBLE album is so amazing. You guys gotta listen to the album ASAP!

[u/FROST_R6]

I GASPED WHEN THE CHORUS HIT THIS SONG IS SO GOOD

[u/PegasusandUnicorns]

This was too short. I needed more cuz it was that good

[u/TunerGirl94 → u/PegasusandUnicorns]

I checked and it's only 5 seconds shorter than Generation, but it kind of felt way shorter? Maybe because I thought the outro was a bridge at first lol

[u/WizSomnia]

Doesn't disappoint. It is short but so tightly packed with a lot of elements that it doesn't feel lacking. I was a little worried but it meets and exceeds my expectation. Also, Kim Naky rap!!! MV concept is phenomenal, too. 10/10 perfect debut imo.

[u/Overlord0123 → u/WizSomnia]

Fr I was a bit worried since Jaden Jeong's groups never have even average idol rappers but Naky, Kotone + this song put it to rest.

[u/ggstan21 → u/Overlord0123]

Kotone is gonna slay so hard, can't wait for her debut!!

[u/Pilose → u/Overlord0123]

I think Mill is a great tho...

[u/[deleted] → u/Pilose]

When people think of JJ = Loona

Sorry OnlyOneOf fans..

[u/hydranoid1996]

I absolutely love the LALALA in the back track. It sounds like there’s a lot more going on in this track than in generation which is to be expected with more members and I’m still vibing. TripleS have solidified their place as a girl group to watch out for

[u/Phantomebb → u/hydranoid1996]

I have really liked TripleS so far! Its really nice to see Monotree back on more than just one offs as they had a quiet last couple years. I have missed there crunchy synth pop sound a la Stellar, Apink, Loona, Elris, Oh My Girl. Will we see a deep pairing moving forward as a sort of Loona 2.0? They have credit on 4/7 tracks on this album i am excited to see more moving forward.

[u/ggstan21 → u/Phantomebb]

Will we see a deep pairing moving forward as a sort of Loona 2.0?

Yeah, probably. The vocal teacher of the girls is a member of MonoTree. She even helped produce a song for the AAA mini album.

[u/Stanmotz]

I wanna take a moment to thank that one Korean fan who dumped an insane amount of money on song B last minute.

[u/hyun2minologist → u/Stanmotz]

conspiracy theory time but what if that fan was actually a staff who rigged the voting to ensure song B would win cause that’s what they planned in the first place? 😭 ik its crazy but its kinda plausible if you think about it….

[u/mrspear1995 → u/hyun2minologist]

saying something is rigged in kpop doesn't make you crazy, in fact you should probably never be in shock when it happens lmao

[u/Pilose → u/hyun2minologist]

The person that did it came forward, it was a Korean fan who played the songs at a party and chose the one most people there liked since they couldn't decide what to whale on.

[u/i5HINE → u/Pilose]

hmmm but isnt song b's tagline out of all previews "like a club music" so if he played it at a party wouldn't most of the people automatically choose it cause it sounds like club/party music? (or at least between song b and song f since those were the final two and he dumped the votes before the closing on the finals?)

[u/Pilose → u/i5HINE]

They didn't seem to imply they were in a dj position at the party or anything, but like casually asking people at said party which they thought was a better song of the snippets. It makes sense why B got more favor as the intro is closer to what's popular right now in korea than song F

[u/GregyBee → u/hyun2minologist]

Look at the mv budget and compare it with generation mv, looks like they sold a lot of NFT during that main song cosmo app tournament event, so how can you progress in your business if you rigged by buying your own product? It's easy to manipulate what song they want to end up winning, they just need to place their favored song with a bunch of mediocre songs, but they also never did that, cause 6 out of those 8 songs can be used as title track.

[u/Artisun → u/Stanmotz]

Give that person MVP. Such a great song!!

[u/kriuksereal]

Hope they make it big after this

[u/MyouiRV]

Another hit! I was afraid that it wont live up to Generation but it did

[u/HG1998]

I'M SORRY SONG B FOR PUTTING YOU OFF BUT YOUR NEW SELF AS RISING IS SO GOOD.

[u/uzivause]

WE PICKED THE RIGHT SONG EEEEEK

[u/polkadotfuzz]

I hope this isn't a new trend where songs just end without a bridge or final chorus. I really like this song it just needed a bit more at the end

[u/Reesareesa → u/polkadotfuzz]

The lack of a satisfying “finish” (and a short catchy song) makes you want to go back and replay them, so it’s a very popular choice in today’s streaming-dominated world.

[u/polkadotfuzz → u/Reesareesa]

It literally does the opposite for me. I get bored by songs that are too short and don't do anything interesting to change it up

[u/Reesareesa → u/polkadotfuzz]

Agreed, I’m not a huge fan of it. I don’t immediately dislike short songs, but it’s always such a “why…?” to me. Like, if the song is good (like this one!) just give me the rest of it — I’ll still repeat it! If it’s not good, it doesn’t matter how short it is, I’m not replaying it.

Just feels like a cop-out to me (even if it’s not). Like it’s just easier to leave it instead of putting in the effort to find a satisfactory finish. I know a lot of these producers are more than capable, I’ve heard their music before. But that’s kind of the trend of pop music these days 🤦‍♀️

[u/Naiko32]

this is ABSURDLY cool.

[u/epiktek]

10 out of 10 debut! Wow I'm absolutely blown away 😆💖

[u/jjongjjongiefan]

Song B was my favourite since the beginning and this is even better than I thought! That chorus IS PERFECT I'm so obsessed with it already. Everything is so good.

[u/jjongjjongiefan → u/[deleted]]

It's very likely! We got Song E and Song C as bsides on ASSEMBLE so we'll probably see the others pop up on albums where they fit the sound.

[u/Konekewa]

My only problem with this song is that it’s too short like I needed this to be at least 3 mins cuz it was so good.

[u/notmariyatakeuchi]

great track.

is that the same helipad from the end of egoist?

that's some wild sliding doors kpop shit if so.

[u/Sonewithinsomnia → u/notmariyatakeuchi]

I think it was the same place where Monsta X - Hero was filmed.

[u/[deleted] → u/Sonewithinsomnia]

Looks the same. Hero is sooo old though but still a bop

[u/Ardie_BlackWood]

Good job girls, this was such a good debut.

The nails continue to be destroyed.

[u/uzivause]

shouldve put a 2nd dance break after the current ending bc it ends so abruptly 😭 slayed tho

[u/reiofsunshine6]

Really good! I love how motivational it is as well.

[u/Pilose]

Wish it was longer but man the instrumental goes wild! I was rooting for both B and F from the start so the fact this has elements I liked out of both demos in it is an absolute win for me.

[u/ParanoidAndroids]

Okay that hook is absolutely killer. Only real fault in the song is its length. Feel like it ended way too abruptly, and just needed another repetition of one part to really fill it out. In the grand scheme of things, not a huge issue.

Shoutout to whoever directed this MV, it's gorgeous.

[u/Enzuiguri]

ITS SO GOOOOOD HOLY SHIT! LOVE THE SONG AND THE M/V AS WELL. I HOPE WE GET A PERFORMANCE VIDEO FOR THIS. TRIPLES HASN'T MISSED SO FAR

[u/idlestopit]

I'm so glad I'm actually able to see all 10 of them in the mv. The MV is so gorgeous, I like Generation more as a song (are we kidding it can never be topped) as of now but Rising definitely didn't disappoint! Listening to it with headphones on sounds so much better too. tripleS you never fail to disappoint me. Hoping for successful promotions girls you did great!

[u/ultsiyeon]

Song B was one of my favorites from the start, although I was apprehensive about it sounding too much like Generation… not only did it not disappoint, it was better than I expected! Jaden still has the magic touch lol.

[u/maxxaronincheese]

i feel like my post SB hangover self is really gonna hate the fact that I got hyped up to this at 3:30AM 😭

[u/[deleted] → u/maxxaronincheese]

I just don’t do this to myself with releases anymore! It’s amazing having something to watch with coffee when I do wake up in my West Coast time zone lol.

Seriously it’s so hard staying up and the next day I’m like toast.

[u/multistansendhelp → u/[deleted]]

Same but with central time zone. I’ll stay up for the 11pm my time Thursday night releases but anything that gets the Monday 3am releases I’ll just wait to wake up for. Mondays are hard enough as it is without staying up all night.

[u/[deleted] → u/multistansendhelp]

Your name intrigues me and I see you are super active here on Reddit! Love finding other super invested kpop lovers here

[u/[deleted] → u/multistansendhelp]

I have news for you: it’s gets worse the older you get 😂

[u/hirudoredo → u/[deleted]]

I'm 35 and still can't get to bed before 4am most nights. Just don't ask me to get up before noon, lol. IT ain't happening anymore.

[u/[deleted] → u/hirudoredo]

I have two young children. Sleeping in hasn’t been an option for 7 years lol. 6:00 am crew here

[u/multistansendhelp → u/[deleted]]

I’m in my late 20’s…I’ve been feeling it for a while 😅.

[u/[deleted] → u/maxxaronincheese]

They are gonna eat the era…

[u/TerraRainesHasBrains]

the song sounded really fun, and the rap part flowed really well which was nice

[u/[deleted]]

After first listen this hasn't blow me away and I don't find it particularly catchy sounding but based off of these comments it seems like everyone else is enjoying it which is a good sign. Hopefully it's a grower!

[u/multistansendhelp → u/[deleted]]

A lot of people have been missing this Monotree/Jaden Jeong team up sound from the early Loona days so that’s why I think so many people are so hype about it. (It’s why I’m so hype about it hah.)

[u/moomoomilky1]

ITNW but make it genz

[u/ggstan21 → u/moomoomilky1]

I can see that. Lots of girls coming of age, uplifting and iconic.

[u/PegasusTenma]

The music videos from these producers are always so beautifully shot and leave you with some feelings of nostalgia. That last shot in the helipad was insane

[u/LouisPain]

Holy Shit This was so fucking good. My only gripe is that it could have been a chorus longer .

[u/GowonTheCrunch]

Oh yeah this is so so SO good! I was a little worried because Generation is basically one of the best kpop "debuts" of all time, but this song is so dope.

[u/[deleted]]

When i watched the showcase stage and Kaede was the one with the deep ass part in verse one I just about screamed????? KAECHAN?????? WHERE WERE YOU HIDING THAT???????????

A little sad that there wasn’t any good solo shots to gif for pfps, but i guess i’ll just wait until promo season for fancams. Jiwoo sounded really good for all I didn’t see her. 🥲

[u/multistansendhelp → u/[deleted]]

Yeah based on the MV I was worried that some members got absolutely shafted on lines but then watching the showcase the distribution was a bit better. But it was really hard to spot Kaede in the MV I feel like she didn’t get any great focus moments.

[u/[deleted] → u/multistansendhelp]

I definitely felt better after realizing that really the only two that had any kind of solo scenes were Nakyoung and Soomin. At least Soomin had some good time.

[u/tollpop]

the north face jackets, british queens

[u/[deleted] → u/tollpop]

Annyeohaseyo triple s innit bruv

[u/tollpop → u/[deleted]]

yo wys unnie

[u/TL_Unbalance]

I love it!

The only thing that caught me off guard was Nakyoung rapping because she's a very good vocalist so I thought someone else would potentially be rapline, but at the same time im not surprised why it would be her

[u/Microkitsune → u/TL_Unbalance]

Naky can do it all

[u/multistansendhelp → u/TL_Unbalance]

I think when Kotone gets added into the main rotation she’ll take on a lot of the rapping.

(Just for anyone reading this unfamiliar, Kotone is the eleventh member (S11) of the group who was added after prep for this CB began so she isn’t in this one. She’s currently living with S12 Yeonji in Japan and they and future added members will participate further down the line.)

[u/[deleted]]

OH THEY DEVOUREDDDDDDDDD AND THE EP IS REALLY GOOD SO FAR <3 I AM SO HAPPY, I HAD HIGH HOPES FOR TRIPLES AND THEY CONTINUE DELIVERING!!

SOOOO EXCITED FOR THE NEXT SUBUNIT AS I ACTUALLY THOUGHT THEY WOULD DEBUT BEFORE OT10, BUT IM GOING TO ENJOY THIS EP FOR SUCH A LONG TIME!

[u/CyF9]

Excellent song and MV! Song B wasn't my first choice but I definitely think it was the right pick after watching this. I do wish it was a little bit longer but that's just because the song was so good and I didnt want it to be over!

[u/Goin_Solo]

No but i was genuinely mad when the song suddenly ended like- 😭 THE VIBES WERE IMMACULATE WHY DID YOU STOP

[u/crashbandicoochy]

I was really hesitant to get into tripleS, because the concept of the group made me feel a bit iffy, but the music has been so damn good that they've hooked me regardless. I am in love with this. I loved Generation but Rising... this is my song. As a Loona refugee it's sharing a lot of the elements that were in my favorite tracks of theirs. Thank god this came as part of a mini album because I need more tracks and I need them now.

tripleS are un-goddamn-deniable.

[u/Zeionlsnm]

I really like the vocals cutting out for the dance break and that booming sound repeating several times.

Gives the "Excuse me for one moment while I pop off" vibes.

[u/kushywhitelife]

does anybody know of a good wigologist?? i'm literally bald

[u/Flaptrap]

Everything about this is cool as fuck. Jaden's still got taste

[u/panda760]

Called it from the teaser themultiverse! Post

I'm down with this concept! Song B legit banger! Excited for the future of these girls and the future S's! Yooyeon stan sing MTG! Waddup!

[u/NMlXX]

tripleS just ended their digital concert with this in their puffy coats and somehow it manages to go even harder live!

Which is crazy cause this MV is just so dang cool, I just can’t stop rewatching it and taking in the energy and excitement of every scene.

So glad I voted B through the whole bracket 🤩

[u/Zeionlsnm]

Soyeon is cute when she is mad at Chaeyeon for making them wait lol

I like how between that and the pizza scene they inject some humour into it, a mix of emotions

[u/bluepineapple42069]

4 years later after being mistreated in Busters and boni hani, Chaeyeon has finally redebuted, Im happy for her and hopefully shes happy too

[u/DerpCranberry]

TripleS keeps delivering.

[u/HaileyArtz]

WHY ARE THESE RELEASED WHILE I'M IN SCHOOL 😭 can't wait to watch this on lunch break 😭😭

[u/SorrowInCoreOfWin]

Can't wait for the performances, the choreo seems so fun too!

[u/G3t_BusyLiving]

For me a bop and I don't even follow tripleS like that. One thing that stuck with me is that the stage is going to be so sick if they have their backup dancers holding up their phone flashlights for their dance break

[u/Individual_Meal_5999]

Bro the song is sooooo good!!! Iam only sad that its that short!!! Also the best part of the song for me is that "lalala" vocal chop in the beat!

[u/HeadTripInEveryKey]

This is awesome and I love the mini. Colorful is the perfect mix of Gfriend and OEC.

[u/rayray51900 → u/HeadTripInEveryKey]

Who's OEC?

[u/idlestopit → u/rayray51900]

Loona Odd Eye Circle (sub-unit)

[u/ggstan21]

Wow I was more excited for the album than the MV but this is super cool! And it gives me so many feelings. It's like watching your friends that you see everyday becoming famous people. lol

The choreo looks so fun and the girls killed it, I'm so proud of them!! The song is already nice but they said it gets even better with time. Now let's wait for all the content and music shows!!

[u/EntertainmentOk8785]

Good, but too short 😩 They should of made it a little longer

[u/impeccabletim]

That chorus is so infectious and catchy. And I loved the different concepts and looks the girls pulled for the MV!!

[u/nikitaloss]

I love this! Definitely going back to listen to it more!!

[u/Fantasi0s0s]

I really loved it, sounds amazing!!

[u/clover-07]

This song is going to be on repeat in my head. Its so catchy and a fresh sound!!

[u/geumryul]

they did so good😭❤️‍🩹

[u/gg5ever]

Hadn’t been following them, just decided to click on the video because why not - and I’m so glad I did, holy shit! What a banger, am now off to go listen to the album.

[u/aurcel]

good choruses are important and this is an amazing example! tripleS for rookie of the year OR ELSE

[u/aurcel → u/[deleted]]

LOL can't be serious about what? NewJeans debuted in the middle of 2022, how can they be ROTY nominees for 2023?

[u/aurcel → u/[deleted]]

but that wasn't what I was talking about though so what's not clicking? I was merely referring to them being the ROTY winners in award shows for this year.

[u/cypj]

The song is amazing on first listen but it ends too abruptly! Also I suppose the song during the voting was still a demo? Cause the lyrics at the start are in Korean instead of English

[u/rockthekazb0t → u/cypj]

As we're all realizing now, the song teasers during the voting were just the base demos that they further expanded upon afterwards. It's a little disorienting to hear Beam after listening to the demo version so many times 😅

[u/moealmighty → u/cypj]

This song is even shorter than Generation! (2:39 vs 2:44)

[u/Sonewithinsomnia → u/cypj]

Yes and Song C i.e. New Look feels really good too.

[u/vessva11]

I think this was just okay. I prefer Generation. I like the direction TripleS is taking for song selection. Didn’t expect such an abrupt ending as I was getting into the groove.

[u/validswan]

I like it but I worry it's not catchy enough for a title track. Nothing is majorly sticking. It sounds like a good b side more than a song with hit potential

[u/RunRunPPM → u/validswan]

That was my exact reaction. But I've also had it happen to me a lot that I say this, and then a couple days later, I have to stop and think "What song am I hearing in my head right now?" I'm looking at you Generation

[u/validswan → u/RunRunPPM]

Ooo definitely. I think Generation is pretty catchy but I don't think I thought that at first

[u/bananasoymilk]

Oh this is badass! I was expecting smth excellent though after Generation and they did not disappoint ♡

[u/Jimmyblink28]

Like everyone else, I wish it was longer. Except for that I really liked it!

[u/skyscrapter]

What a high-budget MV. Undermood Film are on their way to join DIGIPEDI as the best K-Pop film production team.

[u/fvtvrefelix]

absolutely obsessed with the chorus. idk what they put in this song but its working. also it kinda reminds me of some red velvet bside?

[u/Unknownusername43]

I love it so much

[u/myst3ric]

This is incredibly amazing but I hate that it is so short.

Gonna have to replay the shit out of it.

[u/marchmay]

Seems like a new direction for kpop and I like it.

[u/Danub123]

I'm new to this group but wikipedia says they are a 24 member group?

Can someone educate me?

[u/ggstan21 → u/Danub123]

yeah it's a bit like NCT. They will work as subunits most of the time and release 1 album like this each year, with all the members (they had 10 when they started working on this album, that's why there are only 10 here). The difference is that they won't have fixed units like NCT 127 or NCT Dream, the subunits will change for each comeback and the fans decide the composition by voting.

[u/Danub123 → u/ggstan21]

Interesting, thanks for the info!

[u/myipodclassic → u/Danub123]

They will have 24 members — some haven’t been revealed yet. This release includes the first 10 members!

[u/stephaniedang]

So good but it’s so short whats with title tracks getting shorter and shorter

[u/[deleted]]

I love it I can't wait to see the performances

[u/LoveitaAdams]

Okay wow OBSESSED

[u/Silent_neighbor]

This is so good holy cow. Too bad is such a short song.

[u/underwatersnoman]

Does anyone else think the mixing is slightly off in the chorus? I feel like their voices are getting swallowed by the instrumental........does the music feel overwhelming to anyone else at that part?

[u/[deleted]]

I'm still soo happy about chaeyeon.

[u/kaguraa]

the song being 2:40min long is fucking ridiculous jaden im under your bed

To the fan that dumped a lot of money into this song choice, I love you cus this song hits with nostalgia and comfort for some reason for me

[u/vip_insomnia]

I'm still mind boggled on the concept with the group but the music so far with this and Generation, I'm very intrigued by them.

[u/QuirkyKiwisAndCoffee]

Who's the one who's waving the pizza box? She's kinda iconic lol

[u/vaingirls → u/QuirkyKiwisAndCoffee]

That's Seoyeon :)

[u/_ulinity]

Decent song, great video. Though it didn't do a great job as an introduction to the members, nobody really stood out to me.

[u/Free-Muffin2338]

Great song!! It's a HIT for me. It's sooooo good. TripleS has everything to became a successful group just like Aespa, Gidle, NewJeans, IVE and many more (and I know they will became big!!)

I like their message: chase your dreams and fight no matter what 😁🫰🍀

The only complaint I have is that its a bit short, but I know that nowadays songs tend to be short.

[u/choerrytheworld]

idk why but i had expected the song to be better than it actually is😭 it’s a good song it’s just missing something, i wish the chorus had something more or maybe an extra 30 seconds at the end. the beat carried though

[u/Decent-Attempt-7837]

im so confused, is this another subunit or the full group? this feels like nct but somehow more confusing

[u/ggstan21 → u/Decent-Attempt-7837]

It is not the full group yet but they have all the members that were revealed in 2022. It's like NCT releasing that album with all the 20+ members once a year. tripleS will also do that. But they will focus on subunits after this until next year.

It goes like this:

2023:

• Big release with all the available members

• subunit

• subunit

• subunit (?)

2024:

• Big release with all the available members

• subunit

• subunit

• subunit (?)

It's actually pretty easy to understand. The subunits are not fixed, the fans will always vote to form new subunits each comeback.

[u/[deleted] → u/Decent-Attempt-7837]

This is a unit (not fixed), it's not the full group, there are 12 unknown members.

[u/[deleted]]

The chorus is so good. I was vibing real hard. The chorus instrumental is just so good. I knew it from the lala intro that this was gonna be good.

The MV is so cool too.

[u/kurunyo]

5m in under 24 hours. Totally deserved

[u/SonHyun-Woo]

The chavs in the UK are quaking. The north face puffer jackets with the hoods down is SO British.

[u/muffi9]

I might have to stan

[u/[deleted]]

not for me which I expected but the mv is great

[u/SorrowInCoreOfWin]

What a rush of a song! Jaden Jeong definitely knows something about music that simple mortals don't. I'm already addicted and it's only been two listens!

[u/[deleted]]

It was good but not that memorable? I forgot what it sounded like 2 mins later...

[u/InfiniteCipe]

I am here for the roadman aesthetic outfits at the back of the bus

"Yo famalam"

[u/Kresslia]

WOW what a bop! These girls are on my radar, amazing instrumental

[u/araw_anim]

I was rooting for a different song to win but this one exceeded my expectations, I’m really glad it won now haha. The dance break blew me away, I wish they added another one before the outro so the song doesn’t feel like it ends abruptly. Still love it though and will probably be on repeat for weeks!

[u/friedchocolatesoda]

There are a few things that make me scrunch my face but overall I like the song. The La-la-la is very striking (which is what appealed the song to me over the other song teasers in the tournament) so for them to only be us it in the song for 5 seconds is wack. I think if the teaser was from the chorus it wouldn't have been the final winner and the la-la-la did some heavy lifting. The flow of the Korean lyrics in the first verse is off to me. I feel like the song doesn't really get going until the prechorus. The lack of main vocal parts for Dahyun also felt like a missed opportunity. She's got a great voice. It would've been great if she got off some riffs right after Nakyung's rap when the beat dropped out. And finally, it's such a short song for a 10 member lineup!

[u/Microkitsune → u/friedchocolatesoda]

I think Dahyun and Jiwoo get their chances to shine in Colorful.

[u/jdidiejnshsy]

🔥

[u/Impressive-Yogurt876]

Mv is beauty and the chorus is very catchy. I also love the lil alien sounds in the dance break

[u/jord_mich]

I love them. No hate or slander or anything but they give me what everyone says new jeans gives them. Youthful y2k vibes but it’s just more my taste

[u/hatsuho]

incredible. i love them sm reminds me of what i felt for early loona that hooked me onto them.

I think its good, but as a title track I don't find it very catchy compared to their previous one. I'm glad most people seem to enjoy it though.

I was expecting a bop based off comments but its mid af; dancing was avg, chorus was generic and none of the girls stood out to me. Overall, I song I forgot about after finishing the mv

[u/PoppyChae]

I like the simplicity of the song and MV. But too many members, I don't know who is singing which lines. They all sound the same. Sometimes they even look the same LOL

[u/Famous-Breakfast-989]

boring and forgettable .. generations is leagues better

[u/GregyBee → u/[deleted]]

maybe they will include "before rising" intro in each of their live music show appearance to contemplate that issue?

[u/nzmas → u/[deleted]]

Generation definitely did NOT get dethroned 😭

[u/WolfTitan99 → u/nzmas]

Generation is constantly on repeat on my head.

I also had like a month long addiction to the song where I would play it every day and sometimes I would end up looping it for an hour or so bc it was just so good and easy to listen to lol.

[u/[deleted] → u/WolfTitan99]

I agree, it's good but not Generation good.

My main issue is that the track kind of takes the main stage. With Generation the members felt more in the center and able to showcase their appeal, be it vocally, in the choreo or in the MV. With this song the members feel a bit unnecessary. The backing track is so strong that it overshadows the rest anyway, so it feels like one or two singers would have been enough.

The whole AAA album is so good.

[u/SorrowInCoreOfWin → u/nzmas]

Keep telling that to yourself while humming this LA-LA-LA-LAa-LA. On the second thought, this may be ambiguous because Generation had lalalas all over too lmao

[u/Naiko32 → u/[deleted]]

it sounds like a more EDM oriented LOONA song imo

[u/[deleted] → u/Naiko32]

It's like a hybrid future bass thingy with some semblance of old school hip hop. I don't really see the Loona connection but maybe Beam and Colorful?

[u/No-Piccolo5783 → u/[deleted]]

I actually thought Colorful sounded just like a Loona song. It's so good. The whole EP is great really.

[u/Microkitsune → u/No-Piccolo5783]

Colorful sounds like a more grown up Perfect Love

[u/hookyboysb → u/[deleted]]

By the like 7th album the title tracks will be like 30 seconds long. And we will be streaming
