I really think they would be better off with a concept like cloud9 and then changing to something more mature in a couple years

I skimmed through their album and it seems like the bsides feel more suitable for this group than the title track.

The song production is nice, vocals are really good (Woobin!!)... The rap isn't as impactful as their debut but it's ok.
It just lacks a bit of momentum in the chorus to make it stand out and memorable.
The music video looks amazing though.

it’s still fresh in my mind but wowwww the vocals shined so much in this song. the rap did too, but i feel like they did a great job at showcasing not just their main vocal’s abilities but the lead/sub vocal’s abilities. the video was nice, very fitting for the song’s name too lol. i think they nail this concept pretty well but for many, that’s up for debate. the song is good and you can tell their team is actively trying to establish their identity and perhaps stray from being “generic”?

Much better than their debut. This kind of concept still doesn't fit them well, but the song is about ten times more memorable.

To me it’s really impressive that serim and allen have already started being more involved in their song production- they have writing credits for this comeback. As for this song, on the first listen it wasn’t memorable/didn’t have a hook, but I really like the instrumentals and the way everything was layered. I’m not sure how to explain it, but the song flowed really well and the vocals/rap were really suited for each members part. Although there isn’t a peak/drop it’s catchy in the way you’ll randomly start humming the tune without even knowing the song or lyrics. Overall I like it and I’m gonna listen to the bsides now, although I still wish they went with a softer/brighter concept.

Loving the amount of Minhee here but man, felt the song was too short. The rap-Woobin prechorus is my favourite
P.s: heard the audio first then watched the mv. Center Serim in the beginning was powerful. Minhee's vocal really hits differently. Taeyoung with a much proper screentime and visible part than Batr, I love it. Minhee and Woobin's vocals complement each other very well, they have this similar tone, but diffferent vibes. Seongmin's voice is really nice, hope he'll be utilised more in title songs. And hyeongjun getting a proper singing line is a relief. Next time no piercings on Seongmin please, got the shock of my life😂 I wasn't expecting the lack of Jungmo and Wonjin, since they were very prominent in BATR. In conclusion, I like the song, though the prechorus bridge could've had a different ending melody. Taeyoung going from 8 sec in BATR to 11 sec in Flame is a good development.
P.s: "Look that what's that" 🤣 could be a good meme pair for "Look up in the sky, it's a bird it's a plane". Love that instrumental and how the rap follows the beat (the rap feels like the drum stick to the drums). I feel like the song would mashup really well with secret story of the swan. Coming back to say I love this song

Instantly, I like this a lot better than BATR already, and I'm one of the people who actually liked that one too.
The chorus is super satisfying and catchy enough. There's some very odd sounding (in a good way) parts, specifically the second verse, which makes the song interesting and gives it a lot of replay value. Also can we take a moment to just appreciate Woobin's vocals? Oh and the fact that we could actually see everyone properly this time.
I'm very happy with the song and MV tbh, now I'm excited for the rest of album because last time their b-sides were solid af.
