9:22 LIAM noticed this at his first listen was just crazy, man literally digging into the percussion. GREAT JOB!

[@Friedensp4nzer]

I was like "Oh, I DID hear that right!" but I couldn't have pointed it out exactly liek he did. Was satisfying. :D

[@raymanLENG]

@@Friedensp4nzer wow, u also got it on the first listen? crazy. i got it on my third, lol. ppl who studying music is just on another level of hearing i guess, lmao.

[@sitinordianano1fan]

The Genie reference! I didn't catch that initially, but after the comparison, it actually sounded similar. Thank you for the reaction! Eleven is my ultimate jam till today!

[@aseuto4206]

when i first heard the song, i actually think they purposefully referenced it given the lyrics and the melody. i really enjoy that part lol.

[@Friedensp4nzer]

Wait, what exactly was the reference? The line?

[@sitinordianano1fan]

@@aseuto4206 me tooo! I can't stop repeating it!

[@sitinordianano1fan]

@@Friedensp4nzer yes the line, the part Gaeul sang nearing the bridge, slightly before the lyrics "dont say now..." It sounded similar to genie.

[@Esandeech2]

Genie? SNSD’s Genie or something different?

[@taengoonim]

IVE has already established their sound, idk what kind of crack the producers put in but their songs are addictive tbh

[@kadlfla-9655]

their signature sound is definitely "laced w/ crack" music bcs seriously eleven & love dive is so freaking addictive!

[@arkichasiluv]

PLEASE PLEASE do check out “Love Dive” too, it’s their first comeback after their debut song which is Eleven that you guys reacted to! It’s also very amazing and very addictive, similar to Eleven which is super good! It’s been on my playlist for a very long time now. Nice reaction by the way, very informative as always! 🥰❤️

[@HadassaMoon144]

I agree. It's a very unique Kpop song and very good. I think that they will have a lot to say about it.

[@aldoputras.7550]

sadly, love dive is in "will not be reacting to #2" playlist :(

[@fluffyskies7405]

[@dindadewi6679]

SAMEE

[@pair4409]

fr i didnt really like it at first for some reason but its one of my favourite song rn, listening to it makes me happy

[@kayonice8600]

Right!! So do I

[@cheeyeung3675]

Additive song, caught my attention immediately when I heard it on a playlist. "Woah, what is this song?"

[@nogamenolife1901]

What I like about them is that, they have a rapper, but they don't force to add rap verse just because. That's why they produce songs that everyone would be comfortable listening and vibing into. Just like how SNSD doesn't really have rap parts, but they have a LOT of excellent songs. Nothing is forced.

[@Rebe8d89AH]

Yeah rap part could've been forced in and it just wouldn't work. This song just flows really well.

[@jeo5198]

The slowed down prechorus and the 1234567 hook makes the song SUPER CATCHY, those are such simple things but makes the song stand out from their hyper produced sound peers.

[@wigipaigan8182]

It is because its not a drop nor an antidrop its just a big explosion and not common with other groups where they just freaking go out with chorus which is predictable. Eleven is a bop because of how good it is composed and how unexpected the sound is. Like the first second is literally a middle eastern music.

[@HeyyyyyItsJ]

Oh wow that Genie reference. I never noticed it and this is what I like about the channel. I’m so musically not inclined but then I listen to them and learn a whole lot of stuff and it’s so cool. It’s so fascinating how quickly they catch onto stuff too. I’m glad that there’s so many elements in kpop songs for them to explore and explain about.

[@Rothko333]

I replayed raffi and Sam guessing “there is a best ___” so many times… the guessing and editing is pure comedy

[@Zzz-tf5mw]

A co-composer explained "Eleven" was taken from "eleven out of ten". There is a popular theory that lyrics of Eleven and Love Dive are connected. In Eleven "Something transparent between me and you, look into it, into the waves, I'm falling in love even more" "You, the one in front of me, the reflection of me in those eyes, I fell in love" Narcissus was the man who loved his own reflection on the water surface. If you interpret "something transparent" in Eleven as water surface, it is a Narcissistic song just like Love Dive. And, on the album cover the song title is spelt entirely in upper case with L, O, V, E and D in black while I, V, E in white. You may reorganize the letter as "Loved IVE".

[@DK-wy4wq]

You need sleep! Hallucinating too much.

[@sameerakhan7455]

Wow, that is actually such a plausible theory. Very interesting. I really like this and yeah, definitely gonna remember this later on lol

[@KumaKumaKyun]

I'm saying as a Korean, it's very obv that the lyrics to Eleven and Love Dive are both about the myth of Narcissus. I didn't notice this until they made it rlly obvious with Love Dive, but these Eleven lyrics are clearly talking about Narcissus: "Looking still at the transparent relationship between you and I, I fall deeper into the waves" and then the continous "You in front of me, me reflected in your eyes" throughout the song. But the last line especially is a dead giveaway: "You in front of me, I've fallen in love with me reflected in your eyes" Eleven is literally about the myth of narcissus, it's not a typical love song. The love interest they're singing about in the song is themselves. Same for Love Dive. The lyrics for both songs are written in the pov of Narcissus.

[@Zzz-tf5mw]

@@DK-wy4wq You need wakeup. Not everything is shallow like your mind. Moreover, this has been a popular theory from South Korea, not from my own dimwit brain.

[@beyondthesea4466]

this song is really iconic

[@chocodino931]

this is one of my favorite reactions by far. there were a lot of key highlights from them. i love the hook of "1,2,3,4,5,6,7. you make me feel like 11" is so addicting. the ritardando in the prechorus almost feels trance like as it goes into the chorus jason, i, too, would like to know how yujin moves her hips so fast.

[@CryptP]

I love the rit on the prechorus line personally because it allows the chorus to infuse this like new energy and feel more up-tempo despite the tempo in the verse and chorus actually the same Like it's kind of illusory in a way? Makes the chorus feel a bit faster when really we're just the same speed as before

[@ViewportPlaythrough]

1st thought was, theyre doing this just now???? if talking purely about the song(exclusive whoever artist performs it), eleven is one of my favorite track from the newer released songs. i love how its produced, executed and felt smart to me. ive is really lucky to get such a powerful song, specially as their debut.

[@amaja694]

it's just such a good pop song!! completely agree that the contour is great, it feels so fun to sing

[@twicepilled]

no cuz the instrumental is pretty bare but when you add in the vocals it sounds so much fuller😭😭

[@whitegreen198]

IVE is the fastest girl group ever to win in a music show; only 7 days after their debut. They also got the most wins for a girl group debut song; a total of 13 wins. 🔥

[@yusklios8229]

Weren't they tied with viviz as the fastest gg to win in a music show?

[@yusklios8229]

@Double Trouble but unfortunately you're not korean, they still consider them as monster rookie. And it doesn't change the fact that even they re-debuted they still tied with Ive as the fastest GG no matter what generation they come from.

[@johnsmith2875]

@Double Trouble i mean ive is in a similar boat, 2 of the members being from iz*one

[@FearnotAsh2004]

I'm not their fan, But honestly they deserve Rookie of The Year

[@not_thesauce]

AGREEEEEEP

Top 5 the best debut song I ever heard in kpop industry.. also the choreography so good ✨❤️🙋🏻‍♀️

[@velvety3459]

Oh my god I've been so excited for this reaction!! As always, the insight from the musicians is top-notch and informative, and the song kicks ass 🔥

[@tsuki2daisuki]

Finally IVE reaction! Do 'Love Dive' reaction too! Excited for that one🤩

[@julesishere7836]

THIS SONG IS JUST SOOOOOOO GOOD. I loved to see all their reactions at the same time to the "ritardando" jejejeje

[@Soul2mykyo]

Really love the review and dissection of the song. Glad that you guys love it. ELEVEN is definitely a unique song. I've been listening to this song for months and its still so good. I love that its not too loud like most other kpop songs

[@trisyatd]

everytime i get obsessed with a song i just visit this channel and see how you guys dissect the song, and i get all the fun facts, and your reaction

[@aseuto4206]

the moment i first heard eleven, i was really looking forward for you to react to it coz it was so interesting and entrancing. i wasn't sure if you ever will soon coz they're a pretty new group but i'm glad you did. i understand music but i don't really know the terms for it for i didn't really major in music. i knew why the song worked so well but hearing why in music terms is such a joy for me. love the song and your comments on it ^^

[@Thyrwyn]

Surprised and delighted you chose to react to this song. I thought the producers showed an amazing amount of trust and restraint by letting the members carry the song, not over the top instrumentation. Theirs was the most promising debut I’ve seen/heard in a while - and their sophomore effort “Love Dive” was just as good, if not better.

[@Strawberryheavn]

I also love the meaning it fits the sound so much sounding even more dreamy

[@taeyongtytrack3207]

I thought I'm the only one who feels about that Girls Generation Genie vibe in Eleven song 😁 I love both songs 😍

[@woongfairy]

agreed henry! eleven is just so good, it clicked and has been one of my fave songs this year.

[@m.g.5073]

I loved this song on first listen, it's just sooooo good. Looking forward to the Everglow reaction!

[@skyhideaway]

i just love how, in an era where most groups were debuting with a girl crush/teen crush/dark concept and really hardcore songs that were trying to one up each other, ive just went "nah" and debuted with an elegant melodic song about first love. and EVERYONE loved it.

[@cannyshine]

please do a double react, from their comeback, the title "love dive" and the bside "royals," the instrumental of both are awesome.

[@theopires7883]

So so so so proud of Lauren Aquilina here! Everything she touches is GOLD!! Love IVE

[@CollectiveNarrative]

I dunno if anyone said this before but I'm really thankful for the caption explaining what they're saying when they singing or playing instrument.

[@soshibell]

finallyyy!!! omg! i’ve been obsessed with this group for like a week since their Kpop flex perfomance in Frankfurt. their newest release Love Dive is insaneeeee too!!!

[@ligaya0508]

wow thank you for appreciating IVE!!

[@ligaya0508]

Love Dive was so good!!

[@beanstalk3459]

I can believe they notice everything from the melody, instruments, chords or whatever to the video, dance and everything. How?? I thought they’re just listening to the song but they’re also analysing the video

[@vambranzukizumofu223]

the beat guy the drum person maybe he just breaks my mind with him pointing out the extra beat after the bridge? so cool

[@oktakhoe]

Can you react to "love dive" too? That's song is so addictive and i need to know why is this so addictive? ◖⚆ᴥ⚆◗

[@toujoursunnerd]

Love it when I get a stank face in the intro and then let out an audible “OooO” when the verse comes in. Kudos on a bop of a debut!!

[@isaaccastro4846]

Yass one of the best kpop debut imo

[@maynight5524]

The one thing about IVEs title tracks, eleven AND love dive, is that they’re so DIFFERENT. not different to the point where it’s indigestible but to the point where it’s confusing for the first listen but so so so so good! No one makes music like ive tbh and I didn’t expect it. Totally stanning shamelessly

[@jpsvs9983]

I'll wait till the english subtitles since i cant understand the music theory references so well since english is not my first language, but I'm very happy you guys reacted to the song, to me is one of the best debuts of the year

[@andriejhontipudan1762]

ELEVEN is 2021's song of the year!!!!! not biased just facts!

[@SheepyxTails]

This might be one the most perfect pop songs I've heard in a while

[@codexone2194]

I'm so glad Jason seems to have recovered in this video! I also really liked your editing for the first rit :)

[@Shuffledudee]

These videos are so good, learning things I haven't really paid attention to myself is really cool.

[@Jaeilhexi]

Honestly YES. I had the same reaction while hearing the rit, shocked, it was weird and I didn't like the tone at first but then I got used to it and loved it!! Nowadays songs don't event include almost anytime ritardando so that was also really cool to hear!

[@GraceOh]

been waiting for this episode for SO LONG because this song to me has be *chefs kiss* on release and i love how everyone also love the rit. right there. i would argue the whole thing is basically just 'heaven song'

[@iCJGOM]

percussion-wise this song reminds of f(x) rum pum pum pum and scale-wise shinee's atlantis. its merit comes with ritardando and little arabic bridge inbetween

[@funnibunni500]

YES YES YESS IVE are really making a name for themselves! So proud of them!!

[@whalien42]

AHHH FINALLY I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

[@poporongable]

4:45 someone gets that reference!!! finally spotted a reaction that gets that!!! its so similar!!!! Gen 2 represent

[@kkuwura]

Yep. IVE's songs in short are just nothing but instant bops, and yet they also don't sound typical. "How can a song sound so amazingly refreshing and yet be such a jam that you don't get tired of?" is what I ask everytime I listen to Eleven, Love Dive, and After Like

[@MyBloved143]

This song actually reminds me of Rum pum pum pum by f(x), that guitar that’s prevalent throughout the whole song

[@Lyf4rMusic]

3:20 Props to the editor for the collage edit here :D

[@agatahighstein]

Jason seems so high in this video it is hilarious

[@alex98053]

I enjoyed this track as well, but having you folks explain some of the technical aspects makes me appreciate this so much more. Really well explained. not just this but all of your explanations. I especially like the ones that involve the K-pop tracks with classical music elements..

[@AndrewTSq]

For me the "girl crush" concept in kpop killed all my interest in kpop, but Ive Eleven is different. Its not GC, and I hope kpop takes a new approach soon.

[@Esandeech2]

So sad to hear that! I thought the whole Girl Crush wave was refreshing, considering having stanned many 2nd gen groups - of which many had the whole ‘innocent concept’ to start with.
