[@fibonacci5957]

Genuinely one of the best songs I've ever heard. I have so much respect for you, queen. What would the K-Pop industry be without you and other talented producers like you? Seriously, keep up the good work, you're doing the most important part

Congratulations ❤️💕🥰

[@Ast3rixMusic]

I have a question about song structure. Is it normal to follow a templated path with each song? I noticed after spending a few hours of listening to Kpop that the songs all seem to follow this path: Intro with a dynamic/dramatic start, then verse 1, pre-chorus buildup then chorus, verse 2, pre-chorus then dynamic bridge, chorus, out. There were not to many that deviated from this structure. I realize in the past with American pop there was almost the same type of song structure, but now a days it is rare you hear a bridge... unless it's a specific artist.. like a Taylor Swift, Arana Grande... etc. I'm trying to learn this style so that I can incorporate my on style with it. Just having a hard time understanding where to start with the structure. I have been listening to a lot of modern pop as well as Kpop to get more ideas on where to start musically, but just looking for tips or tricks that you recommend on how to approach the structuring.

[@beepbeep4287]

It's a title track worthy!

[@oliviasoul5898]

wow omg is okay to ask for an instrumental version of this i love this song so much😭 ❤

[@ChristaGeek]

Do you adjust the percussions to make sure they are in the key? Thank you for going over this song!!

[@Danieltheworm]

i can feel ur computer dying when recording this lol🤠

[@matchaman3250]

i got a question (even tho it’s been like 7months lol): i know that LIGHTSUM has released this in Dolby Atmos on Apple Music, do u intend on doing the same with ur own releases as well ?

[@iamnickycchen]

Hope you can share some tips that how you organize your samples and presets! I found I have too many synth and samples but not really know how they sound. Every time I just opened it up and randomly scroll throw all the presets to find the right one...

[@AmberArmistead]

Theirs a video on it already

[@iamnickycchen]

@@AmberArmistead Really!? Please link to me. I definitely need to watch. Big thanks!

[@tomorrowleaf]
