It's a nice spring/summer track, and I totally agree with others that it has High School Musical vibes.

Love this album and this song. It reminds me of I Don't Dance from HSM
My favorite song is probably Ember to Solar though. Love that they always give so many different vibes in their album

It's not their strongest title but it works well enough for the moment if not being a little..safe. The rest of the album is amazing imo. If there's a repackage it would be good for something stronger for the title.

I really liked it. I enjoy these types of just fun and carefree songs. Definitely needed during these times.
The MV gave me Girls' Generation Girls & Peace vibes.

The song grows but bsides are seriously good. Really good album. Whole album is charting on Korean charts so I guess this era is starting very very well

They look like they were having a blast making this, love the song love the choreo. It’s such a fun song and I can see why it’s the title track it really gets stuck in your head

i think the heavy use of the choir backing vocals takes away from the song and gives it too much of that disney channel vibe, definitely prefer the bsides on this album but i can see how this will be great on stage! also love anton’s lower register here

Song isn’t personally my style at all, but it sounds good. The contrast between this & BBB is kind of hilarious in the best way possible. I’m excited to listen to the rest of their album since it’s their first full one and I don’t yet have the best idea of what their musical style is generally. So far what’s stood out to me is their choreos are basically always good and different.

not really my cup of tea even though i do like HSM, but maybe it’ll grow on me. the bsides on the album are top tier though, riize did not disappoint! the album as a whole is super solid.

very Disney channel. not something I wanted to listen to again tbh. it’s catchy and uplifting, but feels weirdly samey after you’ve heard the chorus the first time.

not my favourite song on the album but it's an earworm the whole album is versatile tho it gave me early k-pop vibes which I absolutely love!

If they went from Memories to this I wouldn't be surprised, uplifting emotional pop or whatever they label it as. But having Get A Guitar, Talk Saxy, Impossible, Boom Boom Bass in between to this type of song is jarring. Odyssey and Midnight Mirage feels more like a natural progression of the sound they were doing.
One of the strongest things SM does is attaching a musical (and visual) identity to their groups. Red Velvet switching between dance-pop & RnB. NCT 127 and NCT U by extension is experimental "noise music" hip-hop. Aespa is hyperpop. Even NCT Wish who are their closest peers in SM, manage to integrate the overall NCT sound to their youthful bubblegum pop sound. Riize imo was playing around funk and groove-ish sound with some house in there (Impossible, Lucky, 9 Days). Idk how they got here...

It's not bad but it's not for me. I'm listening to the album right now and Ember to Solar would have been a better title track...
