That's kind of the way it always goes with them. They do something innovative, people have a knee-jerk reaction, and then they come to realize "oh, wait, that was actually amazing."
People who didn't like this song are usually the ones that are into very predictable music, if it was for them, we would never listen to something innovative.
For me it’s the Isa’s chorus SPECIFICALLY that got me hooked😭 idk how I wasn’t already appreciating her vocal, but this literally opened up something in me
They were warning us for like a month before it dropped, they were like "we are doing something DIFFERENT, a DIFFERENT sound, something you DON'T hear much in kpop" and I mean they were right
@@DUNGSTA yes but a lot follow similiar styles and there's nothing wrong with that, the point is stayc really were preparing the listeners when they said this, they already knew it could come off oddly to the public
Music producer here…I think the reason the second chorus hits is because of the unorthodox song structure. As you mentioned, it’s a really long build to it, so not only are you anticipating it, but also already familiar with it the second time. The first time you kind of don’t know what’s going on and the second time it clicks. I don’t know if it’s by design (if so, genius) but I fucking love it.
100% true. Didn't like the song at first particularly the 'ringa ma ding dong' line. Sounded like a lazy kpop songwriting to me but oh my god a few days after is just what I needed to listen to it on repeat!
I agree, I really love Isa’s vocal tone singing the second chorus. For me, how bright her tone is really fits the vibe of the song and brings out the chorus more than the first time you hear it.
people hated it when it came out and i understand why people wouldn't like it, but it's so stayc and i immediately loved it. It's on the shorter side and honestly i don't mind it cause i think it would be too repetitive and boring if it went on for too long. Think it's a bit "underwhelming" considering its the title for their 1st studio album, but honestly i think it may be one of their best titles (but for me Run2U is still at the top)
It's killer. I've been aware of StayC but haven't ever really checked them out. But I can't get this out of my head. I love the song. I love the video. I really like the album. They really grabbed my attention.
I love how the instrumental doesn't let up! It's so addictive and keeps you bumping. I love fast-paced songs that take you on a ride throughout the entire thing. Feels like the adrenaline rush you get from playing at the arcade
What i really like in this song is how their voices were treated, in a way were each of them have a distinct sound, and so even if the chorus is the exact same, it feels completely different. Along with the sound "design" (the choice of instruments) this is, for me, what makes this song sooo good !
Along with Aespa, Dreamcatcher, NMIXX, and Kiss of Life, this is definitely my fav song of the year so far. It just got in my head and it hasn't left yet it's so catchy and so fun and im obsessed with the chorus
Maybe the second prechorus sounds different because Sieun and Yoon are always the chorus singers in all of title tracks, and in that part they were the ones singing the second prechorus
I'm glad so many people agree that this song is actually good if u give it a time, it might not be the best title track from them but it's definitely not a bad song at all (+the album was a banger. as always.)
It took me a couple listens to get it, but once I did I was HOOKED. As a Run2U enthusiast I am really happy they have gone back to that sound. The cuter stuff, like Bubble and Teddy Bear, is great but I just love when they do stuff like So Bad and Run2U. It feels so quintessentially Stayc!
I had been Waiting for this stayc release for awhile. And in a scene where aespa new jeans and le sserafim have already released music recently. This tt was an amazing way to stand out and not sound the same. Love this songs energy
I love this song it’s so camp and unlike majority of other kpop releases currently. Like it’s giving T-ARA. I think the second chorus hits harder for you because you’re expecting it, whereas the first chorus comes on pretty early in the song so you aren’t sure if it’s a chorus or not. The members delivery too, Seeun has a softer tone than Sieun and there’s more English in the second chorus which is more common in kpop choruses
This song is so perfect for the casual kpop fan. It comes off unassuming but its perfect for easy listening and looping in the background. This is exactly how I feel with April's "Oh my Mistake", because that song ended up being my most streamed kpop song few years back.
personally i thought this was a much better comeback than teddy bear and bubble, not sure why people are hating when it's literally their first good title release since run2u
tbf, korea performance-wise, teddy bear and bubble were one of the hits and most replayed ones and i can see why. it has the usual stayc style of being bubbly, fun, and lighthearted while not having much complicated instrumentals and that seems to be what korea likes a lot. despite that, i could say that stayc still never missed a single title track since debut and they've always been bangers with different styles. they're offering us something different everytime that will surely fit everyone's liking.
Big difference for me between the two choruses were the lyrics. The second chorus had more English. Don’t know why, but I def noticed. However, I felt the first chorus sounded better 😭
when the title track was first revealed, i reaaaally wasn't sure how to feel about it. but like they said, don't judge a book by it's cover. this is amazing. it's wacky and weird but it's so pleasing to the ears also the album, 10/10. if your album of the previous decade was BTOB - Brother Act, STAYC - Metamorphic might be the album of this decade. I heard a lot of people not liking Gummy Bear though which is a bummer as it is literally my top 1 stayc song ever
the main difference with the 2 choruses i also realised straightaway is definitely isa’s BRIGHTER tone compared to sieun? i also feel like it’s way louder than sieuns chorus
i clicked on the video not expecting to like the song, i got to the first chorus still not liking it, then before i realised it i was bopping along!!! it’s such a bouncy fun sound and it immediately stuck in my head after only listening a couple times
The song is definetely a grower... I am not a fan on first listen, but you know it definetely addicting whenever it comes on the shuffle. and I ended up enjoyinng it.... But it just, it just need bridge, or something longer before the ending pose... but the whole album slaps. so mmany different sounds and styles.
For me its not even on top 3 in this album lol, i dont know if i have to be happy or sad lol My top tt by them 1- so bad 2- asap 3- beautiful monster 4- run2u 5- stereotype 6- cheeky icy thang 7- poppy 8- lit 9- bubble 10- teddy bear Fav song Love fool Complex Twenty Ill be there These all are first, love fool might be my fav
a lot of people didnt get this one, but the girlypops ate it uppp. This whole album is fantastic, exactly what we needed and expected from StayC !!
That's kind of the way it always goes with them. They do something innovative, people have a knee-jerk reaction, and then they come to realize "oh, wait, that was actually amazing."
@@katiekawaiiyuppp!!
It’s stayc or STAYC please write it correctly since it’s an acronym :)

this song is too smart for the casual kpop fan.

They were warning us for like a month before it dropped, they were like "we are doing something DIFFERENT, a DIFFERENT sound, something you DON'T hear much in kpop" and I mean they were right
I think all of the girl groups are doing something different and fun
@@DUNGSTA not all, i hear one of the group doing same like their successor.
@@zaman3399 they all have their own fun songs. Trust me bruh...

When BEP makes a song that makes you go “it’s good I think but really different” you just know youll be calling it genius in a week. Fr tho
I agree!!!
Always!
that's true. it's so odd sometimes you'll have to keep listening to it. It's a trap. 😂
100% true. Didn't like the song at first particularly the 'ringa ma ding dong' line. Sounded like a lazy kpop songwriting to me but oh my god a few days after is just what I needed to listen to it on repeat!
one of their best tt idgaf
Ain't no way
@@DUNGSTAwell atleast it’s better than teddy bear and bubble but that’s not exactly a tall order
i seriously agree
fr
I LOVED IT ON THE FIRST LISTEN AND NOT MANY CAN SAY THATTTTT
Saaame
Me too, the ones that get it GET IT
SAMEEE
I wasn’t sure about it at first but now I love it!! also fun fact: the “meow” sound in the song is actually seeun!
girly got tortured to do it for hours and for several sessions lmfao
OMG YES SHE AND YOON PRACTICED IT TOGETHOR HAHAH
I agree, I really love Isa’s vocal tone singing the second chorus. For me, how bright her tone is really fits the vibe of the song and brings out the chorus more than the first time you hear it.
I know everyone is calling it different, but this just feels like a return to form for them to me... and it's absolutely fabulous.
fr, i feel like this is different in terms of other current releases but the track itself feels very stayc to me
so sad so many people didn’t like this!! funky ass song that i think deserves a lot more recognition for how fun it is :)
To me it feels like a 2nd gen song and I love it. I can hear the early T-ara sound and the Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra voice distortion
people hated it when it came out and i understand why people wouldn't like it, but it's so stayc and i immediately loved it. It's on the shorter side and honestly i don't mind it cause i think it would be too repetitive and boring if it went on for too long.
Think it's a bit "underwhelming" considering its the title for their 1st studio album, but honestly i think it may be one of their best titles (but for me Run2U is still at the top)
I'll Be There bruh

@@joaorodrigues7993 bruh over SO BAD?!
@@DUNGSTA dude it's MY opinion, get over it lmao
@@joaorodrigues7993 it's literally the greatest debut song of all time!
This song is so fun. I feel like i fell in a rainbow🌈⭐️
The most STAYC TT yet
The song gives me 'RUN2U' vibes lowkey 😭
its like 'RUN2U's little sister
Run2u evil twin
I feel like classically trained musicians definitely appreciate this song!
It's killer. I've been aware of StayC but haven't ever really checked them out. But I can't get this out of my head. I love the song. I love the video. I really like the album. They really grabbed my attention.

Bruh they're like one of the best girl groups ever. You can even meet them at KCON LA!
Oh you have an amazing discography ahead of you, so excited for you ❤

RISKY RING A RING DING DONG
i LOVE the chorus IM COOL AS ICE
Along with Aespa, Dreamcatcher, NMIXX, and Kiss of Life, this is definitely my fav song of the year so far. It just got in my head and it hasn't left yet it's so catchy and so fun and im obsessed with the chorus
Bruh just pick one. Who's winning album of the year group of the year?
let's not forget artms 🩷
Maybe the second prechorus sounds different because Sieun and Yoon are always the chorus singers in all of title tracks, and in that part they were the ones singing the second prechorus
A title track for the people of culture!
the girls that get it GET IT! love this song of STAYC!
real music lovers get it and im glad to see
anna wintour said camp and stacy delivered 🫦🫦
I think this is the most enjoyable title track of STAYC, also the most addictive in my case. It's been a while since your last reaction to STAYC❤
This whole album is a MASTERPIECE!
It’s an innovative music which i live for!
I absolutely love it! It’s like more fun and girly version of Run2U, my favourite title track along with Stereotype
It's easily in my top 3 tt from them.
It's definitely the best title from STAYC
It’s a grower, loved it after repeat on Spotify ❤
They really popped off this comeback. love the vid!!!
I'm glad so many people agree that this song is actually good if u give it a time, it might not be the best title track from them but it's definitely not a bad song at all (+the album was a banger. as always.)
i skip this .. then 2 month later i addicted to it .. music is always weir things in my life
It took me a couple listens to get it, but once I did I was HOOKED. As a Run2U enthusiast I am really happy they have gone back to that sound. The cuter stuff, like Bubble and Teddy Bear, is great but I just love when they do stuff like So Bad and Run2U. It feels so quintessentially Stayc!
idk why everyone (at least on pannchoa) hates it?????
I LOVE IT from the first listen!!!!!
as unique n good as RUN 2 U 😻😻😻
I had been Waiting for this stayc release for awhile. And in a scene where aespa new jeans and le sserafim have already released music recently. This tt was an amazing way to stand out and not sound the same. Love this songs energy
Can they even crush aespa? 🤔
@@DUNGSTA”haha” 😂
i LOVE LOVE this song.. definitely one of my faves this yearr
I love Cheesy Icy Thang so much too! Like it on the first listen, and just kept falling in love with it the more I listen to it.
I loved this song on first listen, it’s such a banger. STAYC DOES NOT MISS 🗣️🗣️🗣️
The whole album is amazing ❤
I’m so glad somebody likes cheeky icy thang as much as I do
OMG !!! STAYC !!!
I love this song it’s so camp and unlike majority of other kpop releases currently. Like it’s giving T-ARA.

🦊JUST 🐯SLAYC 🐩 DOING🐱 SLAYC 🐶THANGS 🐰...Metamorphic indeed
Since one of my friend pointed out that it sounds like a splatoon hero mode song I cant unhear it- but it’s just so so good StayC did that again
Such an amazing song. Anything out of the ordinary doesn’t seem to do well these days so will be interested to see how it is seen long term.
Yes !! STAYC !!!! 😄
This album is AOTY for me rn. I had no skips and enjoyed all of them. I especially liked Beauty Bomb
This is my jam!
bro you look so young ... nice haircut... good to see you back
surprisingly good title track from STAYC! slayc for sureeeee
a BANGER 🔥
this song is for smart people fr.. u need to GET it to really get it ykwim
Was waiting for your STAYC reaction for so long! 😁 Finally, it's here. ❤
Been waiting for this oneee

i will not accept this teddy bear slander. and beautiful monster too
The disrespect for Beautiful Monster is unreal...
I'm sorry but beautiful monster is clearly not a bad title track....
i love all of their title tracks (except beautiful monster tbh) but cheeky icy thang is seriously good
I think the difference its the pre choruses lyrics, and the second pre-chorus hits harder. I GO EASY ON ICE THO! ❄️🍦
Still waiting for album review - this thing is fenomenal!
been waiting for this reaction!! thank you so much for a positive review on Cheeky Icy Thang
i admit its not my fav title from them but at the same time its so undeniably stayc
I think the structure is similar to ASAP where the prechorus didn’t feel like a prechorus at first but it did feel like it after while
Big difference for me between the two choruses were the lyrics. The second chorus had more English. Don’t know why, but I def noticed. However, I felt the first chorus sounded better 😭
Ikr the way sieun say “bartender” make the chorus more boom
@@kimiwoo1doorisn’t that part the pre chorus?
Love this song so muuuuch!! ❤
It’s soooo fun. It’s like a sassy shot of espresso.
the lyrics on the first pre chorus and second were different i think that's what's make it the impact😭💗
THIS BECAME AN INSTANT FAVORITE FOR ME

i love how it literally never stops, non-stop bop
STAYC ??!! Heck yeah !!!
AHHH IVE MISSED UR STAYC VIDS
you’re so right
"RUN 2 U" was my favorite song of theirs so far. This is the fun version of "Run 2 U"
this song is so addicting. I'm mad that it's not a minute longer
the girls that get it GET ITTTTT i dont understand the hate ;(
The mv looks like a mashup of all previous Twice mvs, you can see the inspo there
I don't get how people don't like it. Cheeky icy thing is soooo StayC
the main difference with the 2 choruses i also realised straightaway is definitely isa’s BRIGHTER tone compared to sieun? i also feel like it’s way louder than sieuns chorus
my most favorite stayc's song lol
Están jugando con nuestras mentes !!! 😅❤
