Kevin actually trying the food combinations while Leon and Stephanie were talking about them is something I never knew I needed in my life 😭😭😭 I love the dedication

[@kkyoi0702]

rightttttt the demonstration killed me

[@justinjyeung]

Absolutely Kevin agreed to do it to try to understand better how it felt to experience this song LOL

some people: this song is too long me, looping it: this song is not long enough

Literally me. The first time I thought it was long too, now I can't get enough of it! Lol

[@fyorarules]

3:57 “Music is just decorating time” gives me “writing is just rearranging the letters into different orders to create different meanings” vibes but prettier and more abstract…

[@j2das9684]

Poor Kevin. The dedication… a moment of silence for his tastebuds 🙏🏼

[@rennebem]

It's such an interesting song and the only reason it hasn't done well in charts is because they released the stage too early

[@Kisaragi_eki]

So step back got 3 wins and stamp on it 0 :(

[@jaystev]

I think the issue was that they didn't release the song on streaming services alongside the stage like they did with Step Back. If they had done that then it would have done well and they still could've waited to release the album and video when they did. But by the time they released the actual song interest had moved on.

[@felipeperez2370]

It hasn't done well on charts but honestly the spotify streams are kinda insane considering a lot of people were boycotting it, it is at pair with RV's birthday which got released months earlier.

[@jaystev]

@@felipeperez2370 Nobody was boycotting Stamp On It? EDIT: I was unaware of the boycott, ty for the following replies which explained it to me :)

[@ErizenGotIkonicMelody]

3:32 Did anyone notice? Ali and Juyoung: There's no rule. Hyo part in the MV: that's the rule of this world. Wow, interesting.

[@bhblanks5517]

Just to clarify, the sample is from "El Helwa Di" the song is originally by Sayed Darwish, who is a legendary egyptian singer composer and lyricist, the song was later remade by many singers, most famously by Fayrouz, Dania Khatib's version was also a remake

[@thezircadia]

Owen and Kevin are always my favorite. But I have felt the way that Ju Young and Owen have talked about many times with various songs, like - this is a good art piece. I love that feeling so much. Even when it isn't a song I might listen to regularly - or like Liam was talking about, it could be something interesting I could return to and appreciate on a different level than just thinking it's something I just listen to for pure feel good enjoyment.

[@jocircus]

the "incoming" (2:13) didn't come because "and now, the breakdown" was used in 4:01. it was funny seeing you expecting it several times in the beginning lol

[@alaviaro3501]

Its "and now, the winner"

[@VickyCDani]

​@@alaviaro3501 no it's "and now.. the breakdown"

[@Damonistique]

Also ''Dem Jointz" at the beginning lol

[@alaviaro3501]

​@@VickyCDani "the winner" thats Demjointz thing..

[@VickyCDani]

@@alaviaro3501 I'm so confused. What are you talking about? His producer tags in a song are either "Incominggg" "Dem Jointz" or "Now, the breakdown". The "breakdown" is his thing because he always puts it before the bridge of a song.

[@classicaid]

I don't think the song is too long, though. I personally don't like tracks shorter than 3 minutes, especially now that streaming services are so relevant and their presence promoting replays. This track's length and the journey it goes through is just right for me 👌 And true to the group's purpose, this track and the mini album as a whole feels very _performative_ , like they're composed to impress audience when on stage in mind rather than for replays in streams

[@AlwaysWIZONE]

I kinda agree with how a song's length preference. But that perspective has different factors: 1. Maybe we both enjoy songs that have 3 minutes length or more because we are more used to it. Just like people in the past who enjoy songs with 5-8 minutes length because it was a common thing back then. 2. The way the sounds and song structure played out is also a factor because at times, a song could feels too short when there were too much short sections got put together. But when a song has a little bit less complexity in the structure, the "this song is too short" feeling wasn't really felt. There are quite a few songs that were shorter than 3 minutes but it doesn't feel that way.

[@calebbb_c]

i literally love this song and its one of my most streamed this year, i dont get the hate for it

[@amirahcurry3080]

No one hates the song, it just hasn’t done well on the charts because they released the stage before the mv so when the mv came out, everyone lost interest and moved on somewhere else

[@hrjs1gf]

Me neither

[@hrjs1gf]

@@amirahcurry3080 no people actually hate this song and say it’s all over the place and stuff

Hate is a strong word but few people dont like the RNB switch up, but this is so SM so i am used to it and i love it.

[@titi7440]

As an arab i was definitely shocked hearing the sample of "الحلوة دي"

[@confused7970]

Me too... Actually i hated the song initially because of this , for me they ruined both songs, my childhood song الحلوة دي and stamp on it. I kinda like it now but no... other songs of the album are definitely better

[@ayouspace4780]

same, i don't even know how to feel about it. they didn't even give any credit or acknowledge it. even though it's a big part of the song identity. it could even be described as cultural appropriation. the only reason i isten to the song is because of that part

[@1lvn1]

@@ayouspace4780 wtf are you talking about. They probably reached out to the original singer. A giant company is not gonna put in their description or video 'tribute to ....' and maybe its a free sample to use. Uneducated

[@ren-oq6jr]

@@ayouspace4780 Sampling is definitely not cultural appropriation

[@sunflowerangelnctzen]

yeah and really dont know if i like or not.. bcs feel like this song is like a general cultural knowledge for anyone from any of the MENA region, so it naturally fe la off putting hearing it fused with something completely different like this!! but can at least say it for sure is interesting lol

[@BomiYuuki]

Damn what a line: "Music is just decorating time" just wow! I love this song so much, I love when SM releases songs that are not conventional, but this is coming from someone that never understood why people hate Sticker, so 🤷🏽‍♀️

[@lydiahearts8611]

Big Mac: $3.99 McFlurry: $2.29 Kevin's face when he eats them together and the person narrating says "it's kinda good": Priceless I'll be laughing about this all day 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheACR10]

this song definitely broke my brain a bit. Probably the only song to have made me write down a "road map" or like "figure out" the structure. I remember the first listen I was so confused looking for the chorus every section just felt like a new peak. the only "weakness" for me was just how long it was but one of the comments here encapsulates how I feel about that too hahaha

[@Pinky-fi8pv]

the demo male vocals is of yoo young jin!! and he has been doing this lately for a lot of his girl group songs (aespa aenergy, aespa dreams come true, aespa girls, got the beat step back)

[@mwyz]

He does it for so many songs lol. Maybe just as a TVXQ fan, I know he had some bg vocals in Changmin's Devil, and TVXQ's Before U Go, and a few of their B-sides as well. YYJ also sings the high note in SNSD's The Boys.

You know what, after "stamp on it" was released I immediately remember of you guys, I was expecting you guys to have a mind-blowing reaction and that's really happen. For me I literally shock each time the key change like what is happening haha. Some people called this song is bad, over experimental, etc. But yeah this is definitely SM song.

[@ireneserrano4570]

"little quilted moments of sound" I loved that!😊

[@jamescurfman3284]

I never studied Music at all so I have no clue about theory (besides things I have picked up watching your channel), I just know when I like hearing something. For me, this was GREAT, I loved it right away! I understand that lots of other people either hated it instantly or thought they would wait and allow it to grow on them. Somebody else actually got called a 'psychopath' for liking it the way I do. Also got called a simp, as if it was only the singers involved that made us like it...which is false. I certainly do like all of these singers and rappers but that's not why I like the song. It was put together very well, it's experimental. I prefer to remain open-minded whenever possible. I actually have problems with people who want music to be RIGID because that leaves no room for creativity.

[@taengoonim]

When I want to go on a journey I always listen to SM songs, it makes my day exciting

[@jamescurfman3284]

@@taengoonim I listen to almost anything. SM is good at what they do for music, no doubt. I just don't like to limit myself to anything (not even for as awesome as K-Pop is, and even though Wendy is my Ult Bias in all o K-Pop. And she may even be my Ult Bias in all of Music in general...).

[@youngrasshopper258]

I was waiting for this! SM being SM once again. I love this song and the the whole album

[@justinjyeung]

The reason why it feels long is partly because the song doesn't really carry its momentum throughout the whole song. Like, when the bridge comes in, it's a change-up and the momentum starts to pick up, but then after that it kind of brings back the older motifs (like the pre-chorus, instead of just the chorus), which kind of feels like it drags on the momentum. That's why this song isn't my cup of tea, but I still appreciate how wild it gets and also the cool vibes it has :D

[@reveoncelink6133]

I loved this song. It's definitely more of an ear candy for me! Thank you for doing this! ❤️

[@nimolino139]

2:11 finally someone recognized the background sample for almost the whole song As an Arabian once I recognized it in the beginning it kept repeating in my mind the whole song not focusing on anything else wondering how they got the idea of utilizing this song in this way!! GENIUS!!!🙌🏻🙌🏻

[@pinkiepiereincarnate2291]

This song crawled its way in my head way faster than step back probably cuz the sample in here didn't feel too grating. Love that my man dem joints did it again🥳

Dem Jointz makes a lot of SM Entertainment songs, and all of them have been bangers ~~ Yes, some of the most well-known examples are Obsession by EXO, Sticker by NCT 127 (actually probably the majority of their songs), 2YA2YAO by Super Junior with him and Zico, Step Back and Stamp on It by GOT The Beat, Don't Call Me by Shinee, and a lot more~ If you just hear his producer tag, you'll know who produced the song.

[@suzy8639]

this song tripped me up so much but ended up really liking it ✨🔥

[@classicaid]

OH MY, I didn't realize that the key interval between verse/chorus to post-chorus is a tritone (Devil's Interval). The moment it was pointed out, it was like a lightbulb suddenly lit in my brain, that I thought (spoiler alert): . . . . . "Is that why the ending of Aespa SMCU Ep. 3 like that?" Theory time: I assume that BoA is the one forming this particular group of girls in SMCU lore, and since BoA is related to Black Mamba, this track (which has _The Interval_ ) is composed for GOT the Beat to hint that at least one of the members (BoA) is antagonistic. I'm probably rambling nonsense 🤷‍♂️

[@vaanshichauhan9868]

That's a good theory

[@nanacan9007]

unique SM song, will always make you say "where are we"

I want it to end right before that final "baby baby baby" section starts. In the end, though, GOT the Beat isn't really my cup of tea, at least so far.

"Music is just decorating time." What an iconic line

[@duster8up]

I love this song! Simply because the producers were like "Here's the k--pop blueprint. Oh! That's cool... We're not doing that!!"

[@Damonistique]

"Music is just decorating time"". well said! I somehow start to feel like Yoo Youngjin, um, stepping back recently has more to do with being tired of the criticizm, because the man LOVES combining strawberries with broccolies (the sketch was hilarious). After your breakdown I feel like this song was an attempt to do something more normal and balanced, but it ended up feeling too long and even monotonous (probably because of building on a dominant) and met a lot of hate. Sigh. Hope that at least uncle Dem will keep the experimental spirit. Sparkly section before the dance dreak didn't exist initially, btw. I love that they added it. Thank you for the reaction! This channel is brilliant.
