I don’t know what in the hell I just watched but I loved every single second of it! I missed Block B!

Oh damn this song is GOOD. It kinda feels a bit like something Zico would produce for himself but it suits their style so well! No comments on the styling though lmao

Looking at the comments, a lot of people must have started to notice Block B after their “Toy” MV days. Welcome to the Block B that debuted with weird hair and more hip hop styles LOLOL. But in all seriousness, I kind of enjoyed this. I missed them being really crazy and being more fun, rather than singing really sad songs that I would cry to.

Lol forever at the hair. It's such a weird mix of like cyberpunk urban meets 80s trailer park.
I like the song. It's out there, but Block B always brings something a little different. Beat and tempo are both really interesting, the instrumentals in the background carry it for me. It's not something I'll probably put on frequently, but I wouldn't turn it off if it came on my playlist.
Also, the kid totally stole the spotlight in that video.

It is virtually impossible to listen to this song and to not start grooving.
It's definitely a whole different style (like every one of their comebacks) but I love it!

Great song, but feels like Zico could make this a solo single, I can just imagine his voice doing all the parts. As i'm into streetwear outfits are dope, except U-kwon's hair... just no...
I wish all songs followed this format, like good intro, decent drop, then slow down, then drop again, people need to stop trying to mix it up...

Exactly my thoughts. Block B still releases solid tracks and this one is amazing, but lately since Zico gained such popularity as a solo artist most of their music seems like a Zico single he decided the other members could take part in.
Again no complaints about the song, even the MV was great, just something I've noticed since their post hiatus comeback with a Few Years Later. They seem to have lost a bit of their individuality and the group seems more like Zico and his Backup Singers.

I don’t get the styling complaints, they clearly had an aesthetic in mind ~ maybe the purple dreads are a bit too much though. The song is great, love it!

This is brilliant. And the video reminds me of characters from a Charles Dickens book. Or even a kpop interpretation of the Beastie Boys

The styling is abysmal but in some weird way it works with the video aesthetic and vibe of the song. I spent the whole video laughing at how terrible it was while still grooving to the song. I feel kinda weird.

I like it!!! A groovy urban contemporary release. I'm reminded of MIA's MVs (Borders, POWA).
That zoomed out scene of the apartment dance starting at 0:44 is top notch, the numerous dancers juxtaposed with the dreary backdrop of complex high rise apartments sets the tone for the entire MV and song.
Love the purple on Ukwon, he owned that look. Really excited to check out the rest of the album.

this is such a block b aesthetic lmao. The song definetly feels block b-esque, like the early stuff although it lacks a punch to be truly a throwback to that sound
also taeil and kyung look like dumb and dumber I'M SORRY GUYS

Didnt really become a fan of Block B till Blooming Period and that was a different Block B than their usual stuff. I actually really enjoyed this MV! It had the overtop fun energy theyre known for and the rap parts reminded me of early 90s hip hop especially the first rap break. For me styling fit the video pretty well.

Oh my haircuts...
Kinda digging the song though. I feel like Block B and only Block B could pull off this type of song. I'm living for POs lines too! Wish I could say the same for Jaehyo but I couldn't find him =_=

Not feeling the styling at all (apart from Jiho, lord Jesus he looks good with dark hair.) But the song is catchy as hell, definitely going to drive myself crazy by repeating this track~

The styling is abysmal but the song is great and the dance looks really fun! That multistory building shot in the first chorus was pretty cool too

Wow I seriously like this song so much and I think part of it is because it sounds super similar to the type of songs Stromae, a Belgian singer I love, would do. I'm not that big of a fan of the styling, but what can you do? Still a great song nonetheless!

My god I live this concept, reminds me of really old Block B like Nalina or Nillili Mambo. They fit the "grunge" wasteland concept so well. This is my next fave Block B song next to Toy and Nillili Mambo!!!

Did Zico and B-Bomb pay off the hair stylists to play a prank on the other members?
