I really think this debut was over hyped by YG. I'm not hating on Baby Monster, I just don't like the song. Empty Chorus, not a really versatile melody, verses uncreative, flow was alright. The group has incredible vocal and dance talent but it really couldn't shine. If you look at their pre-debut stuff, you realize how much more they actually are able to do. I also believe Baby Monster is never going to "dethrone" Blackpink, like all the fans are saying, but we'll see. Again I'm not hating nor trying to compare the two girl groups. this is my personal opinion. But I do agree that the editing of this Music Video was amazing and the girls are so pretty!

Its probably because this wasnt meant to be the debut. Ahyeon is sick so she couldn't participate in this song, also.. they dont have ANY PROMOTIONS. They let out this song because fans and others were tired of waiting, they announced this group at januray, it was november and they didnt have a date for their debut, then Ahyeon got sick and that means more waiting. YG said they are going to start to do promotions with their comeback... for me its clear that they did this in a rush. This is like a "digital debut" but BM didn't need that, they needed a actual debut with promotions and activitys that let people got into their music and their members.

It's very interesting how YG is still going for the yg girlgroup mv formula but with 7 members (or 6) instead of 4. Watching Batter Up music video made me realize how much complicated it was. With the budget for the individual scenes, but also in the way they want to show the choreography during other parts than the key parts. A girlgroup of 4 members allows so much more "individuality" but a group like BabyMonster will want to show their group dynamic and formations much more. It's really not the same, it should be obvious though but I like to notice it that way.

I'm stuck between being a bit disappointed with this debut, and also being happy with it. I'm a bit disappointed that they feel too close to Black Pink. When a new group debuts, I really want to hear a new sound. I want them to have a sound, where in the future, I'll be able to listen to their new songs, and immediately think "Yeah, this is their sound". But if they continue like this, all I'm going to think is that this is the Black Pink sound. On the other hand, I have been starved for Black Pink music, so I'm also a little happy that I get this. Because the song is good, and it is catchy. So it really scratches the itch that Black Pink is not really fulfilling for me. As a consumer, I'm happy to get new music that I like. But I feel a little sad for BABYMONSTER, since they will be compared to Black Pink so much, because of the heavy similarities. I hope they can develop more of a unique sound in the future, so they can stick out more. Because they seem talented enough for it. Unfortunately the decision is probably all up to YGE to make it happen. And I have a sneaky suspicion that YGE will go for the safe option of releasing music they know will be a hit, in the form of Black Pink style music. But hopefully I'm wrong

[@WARnTEA]

That's why I like XG so much. They're sound is directly inspired by american artists and not kpop artists, they go so far as to record their albums in america with american producers and rappers. Also they are inspired most by kehlani which isn't generic pop music but rooted in R&B. Also, the XG rappers and singers are crazy talented.

[@LeonaDiCarryo]

I totally agree. It is also one of the reasons I really like NewJeans and Dreamcatcher. Dreamcatchers title tracks always have their signature sound, but they never sound the same. And with NewJeans, it's not just thier title tracks. It's most of their songs.

[@artsahikun_]

I feel like every YG title track song is meant for the general public, not for a specific demographic, or, to say, those who are already kpop fans. Crazy beats, repetitive choruses, flashy sets, and rave party outrous are what define YG. After a couple years of being a kpop fan, I can say this tactic really works a lot in capturing new markets, and I see nothing wrong with that. Staying true to their own identity and sound is what makes them unique in this industry. Well, listening to K-pop music is a personal choice, what matters most is that we take care of ourselves by finding and listening to music that brings joy to us.

[@U_mAd_bRo0]

Come on bro.. let's be real. It's the mass streaming and mass buying by K-pop zombies that will literally eat anything YG put on a plate 💩 💩 💩..

[@Noonas_admirer]

I think that a group having an identity is more important than the company having one. If the company makes all their groups have roughly the same vibe/concept/type of music, then what's the point of debuting new groups? It's fine to appeal to new markets, but using a different approach to this debut could have worked fine. Now they face criticism from existing fans, and creating a rep of recycling concepts will only make people lose faith in the company's ability to release something they haven't heard before, and make avid fans overly protective of their groups, claiming that their concepts are 'totally different', causing discussion and toxicity between fans. !Just my opinion!

[@artsahikun_]

​​​​​@@Noonas_admirer well, I agree how YG sucks creatively, but to think of it, before debuting Baemon, they really emphasize the "YG FAMILY" concept, which I think really makes sense now, that debuting a new group with the cohosiveness of the company's identity that sets the group apart from the trend could be their tactic in continuing their legacy, which creates a deeper connection and bond that resonates with the fans and clients

[@foreverflare]

Problem is this song isn't as captivating. Many scenes are referencing to their other old songs. We don't really get a new era of music, songs and dances, they are just continously recycled.

[@c4cupcake950]

I've been thinking the same thing. Sorta. I see a lot of complaints about repetitive choruses. But if you want to get a song stuck in as many people's minds as possible, even if they don't speak the language, repetition. Just make the rest of the song worth it! Even repetitive korean lyrics that I don't understand I'll find myself singing along to or singing to myself at work.

It's not YG's fault.

YG / Teddy said this exact thing in the BlackPink Light up the Sky, There are 100 of songs on his computer, they just can not show them all now. So if one group does not sing it, someone else will. 2NE1 to BlackPink, now BlackPink to BabyMonster. they even went one step further. BlackPink to Somi. with Touchdown to Fast Forward. (TouchDown was a song potentially leaked, and BP never used it for what ever reason) so you never know who will actually get to sing a song, or everyone will sing the song, YG owns it all, and every artist potentially could just say, OHH, I like that, let me use this .

The song is good and the cinemaphotography is great, but I think the debut lacks originality and creativity. The rappers showed some promise, but I think we need to hear more from the vocalists of the group for the next comeback.

I kind agree but at the same time I think it's legit to some people just not like because it's the same sound again and again. Like I get it, it's theirs style, but the way YG does it seems more like they are too lazy or stubborn to came up with something new them to keep with a music background or tradition. I mean, a lot of the big companies have a "style" SM, JYP, Hybe, even Cube or Starship, but not all of their groups sounds so close that if you're not a fan you can't say who is who. So yeah, I'm not desapointed because I didn't believe in YG claims but I think it's fair for some people to be since they set the bar really up for something "new and refreshing". It is good? Yes!

I only felt BP vibe during ASA's part... well the colors... and Chiquita's part in first verse ( the snow scene was mixture of "How u like that" and "Pink venom" mvs second chorus) but throughout the whole MV I was thinking "damn, it sounds and looks like so much BigBang, 2ne1 and IKON". The opening isn't just used in BP mvs, it's a classic YG entrance, all groups under YG has at least one MV opening like this. Ruka's rap part in MV was a callback to Bigbang "Bang Bang Bang" era. Chiquita's part in 2nd verse was a callback to 2ne1 "I am the best MV". The ending editing where everything goes black slowly before the song changes - that's the same editing from BigBang "Bang Bang Bang" when the song changes at the end. It's a standard YG song, more like a YG anthem rather than BabyMonster's debut song. That's why people weren't happy because it's not something new or exciting. It would've had better effect on people if we didn't know who they are and weren't introduced to them. It would be like "Oh new YG group, oh look at them, who they are, wow so much liek YG groups". But as we know them already, same old YG song is not exciting. Even tho I like the girls, some of them didn't fit the theme like Pharita's first part, it was a forced attutude scene, I was kinda cringed. Same goes Chiquita's snow scene. I was like "Nope, thanks". They are teens, let them be teens. Not forced faked-fierce grown up wanna-be's. They have better potential.

[@rvbyluvs]

The fact that Jordan kept mixing up BLACKPINK and BABYMOMSTER is proof that YG made the concepts waay too similar (no hate to baby monster or Jordan!)

[@Bunnydolle_blog]

Theory; 0:58 - here it looks like they are running away from the police, because of the vibrant lights and the background sound 1:59 -The group's name is Babymonster, in this scene the egg could symbolize that they were born and came to dominate. The egg is cracked because they were born 2:06 - For society, in this case they are monsters that came to dominate, and are dangerous and as we can see in this scene there is a space that humans created to trap them, but with their power they are able to get out of there and be free. 3:52 - In this scene she may be representing an ice monster, being a mythical legend 9:36 - if you notice some things are flying(levitation) showing that they also have powers 9:37 - In this scene I thought of them in a city full of prejudiced people who don't understand what they are being mean to them, so they will dominate the city and in the end the world if necessary 9:39 & 2:39 Can these two scenes possibly show claws? 11:32 & 11:35 They have a lot to say and will surprise everyone, as they will rule society from now on. And people made a mistake in doubting their power thinking they can just saying them "shut up" 13:01 - they will show who they truly are and who is in charge what do you think?

THIS IS AMAZING

[@Ruby_Spacek]

I’m obsessed! Can’t wait for more baby monster content

[@DenisseM17]

I think it is not necessary to compare them with blackpink, it is just YG's style, and it is not babyMonster's fault, it is the fault of the company or the producer of the song

[@Minji_Hanni_Dani_Haerin_Hyein]

Did you watch big bang haru haru. It's full of cinematic and k-drama but I fu*kin love it. Not this terrible bona bona +money remix

[@fzhz]

​@@Minji_Hanni_Dani_Haerin_Hyeinhow is it similar to bona bona??

[@yuucola4145]

i won't say it's a "fault" tho. YG knows who their target audience are. Which are the YG stans (including me). The thing with YG stans is no matter how many songs they "copy paste" we'll still going to enjoyed it bcs we just love the YG style. The thing with YG having songs sounds similar to each other have been going on for many years but they still going strong because that's what YG stans wants.

[@yuucola4145]

@@Minji_Hanni_Dani_Haerin_Hyein that's an old song bro, most of YG songs that era also sounds the same with haru haru or "Haru Haru remix". They changed their style after 2NE1 debut and then all songs sound similar to 2NE1 songs. That's just how YG evolved their music.

[@Ampaof3]

​@@yuucola4145That love for YG may go away over time if we keep hearing the same sound and seeing the same visuals. They will soon be outdated.

[@freyja9911]

I liked this debut, and I like to think that this kind of format and theme is just paying homage to BP at some point (considering that they debut after BP; talking abt YGs GGs), but I also hope they slowly transition as an independent group without the association to other YG artists as much as they do now.

[@gamebred-gannicus2060]

BP fanbase is trembling because Babymonster might eclipse their bias group. Stop hating! 😂

[@niloohossini3348]

I am addicted to this song، this song was really amazing and special for me

[@SingSongLyricsMusic]

I really loved Batter Up, I think its good considering how young they are. The youngest is only 14 years old!

[@SakuraMiyawaqueen]

I really want to stan them but I feel uncomfortable seeing like 13-14 yo olds wearing big nails, chains 😭

[@vachikagupta43]

then they shouldn't have debuted her with a group having this kind of concept

[@SakuraMiyawaqueen]

@@vachikagupta43 exactly you gain my respect this fr needs to stop + those chains 💀

[@zytaolkurt5608]

Well, it's quite the opposite for me. I don't like batter up considering HOW YOUNG THEY ARE. Badass girl crush concept doesn't suit them at all. It's a concept that you do when you reach certain maturity and gain some experience. It was so forced and yg trying too hard to create BP 2.0(or 2ne1 3.0?) I just can't take seriously that these kids act so tough, so badass even tho they just enter the industry

[@SakuraMiyawaqueen]

@@zytaolkurt5608 YOU GAIN MY RESPECT LIKE GIRL CRUSH FOR A 14 YEAR OLD WEARING CHAINS AND LONG NAILS IM UNCOMFORTABLE 😭

Black pink would not actually sue baby monster cause there under the same company

[@CassieLightwood]

Heeey Babymonster girls did great🥺I actually loved the song, YG's songs mostly hace the same vibe, structure. It's not bad, it's just their thing. I kinda expected sth like this

[@vvurbajael]

Yea has the same literal vibe as a blackpink song that never made it out😭 no hate to the girls obviously not their faults but yg never has something new

[@NINA_6]

Yeah

[@nourlahrach2127]

I completely agree with you and it’s so sad to see people hate on them since the beginning without even giving them the chance to prove themselves 😭😭

[@Nathan_delulu]

If Baby Monster "Copy" Blackpink, then following that logic, Blackpink Copy 2ne1.. just saying... Stop being Ridiculous!

[@Глеб-ц3ю2ш]

that "OGH, OK" 00:01

[@MistyLaShay]

The megaphone bit in the beginning is definitely giving boombayah, it’s like yg took different bits of black pinks videos and put them into one video with batter up

[@skibiditoilet-o2p]

For me it was really hyped up by YG. Plus everything looks so nostalgic

[@bunbungabriel]

4:42 I think they had her off-center bc it's a surprisingly long static shot compared to the rest of the mv So as a viewer you expect the scene to either change or the camera to pan over them but when neither happens you look off-center to the only object (or member in this case) that's in the foreground, which is when she gives this very charismatic sassy expression as if saying 'oh no, I'm not finished yet' and does rest of the dance move Like you always say, subverting expectations gives contrast, contrast gives focus

[@lizas1762]

People have encapsulated their mind to believe Baemon is BP copycat and we can see it clearly here on how the crown thing is used by ITZY in every MV since their debut but it reminds him to Lisa. 😂

[@_.borahae]

Blackpink sue Baemon? Lol, everything Blackpink does has been created by YG. The style, the dances, the songs... So, 2NE1 should sue Blackpink? Cuz YG gave 2NE1 songs to Blackpink and threw them apart after copying the concept, style, dance and beats? This makes no sense. Everything, even the name Blackpink is owned by their company. YG trained them like they have done with the other groups. Gave them songs, clothes, concepts, choreos, make up... The group that has been copied is 2NE1. No hate, just facts. This song gave me a lot of Treasure vibe too, another YG group. Fans have to understand, that Blackpink won't stay around forever because they're old for Korean kpop standards. They will do different things and have different projects in the future. This is why a new girl group is needed for the company. Of course it's a similar concept for now and typical YG stamp but what do you expect? Time will prove if Baemon will be allowed to find their own style. Jeeez, it's just the first song and the beginning. Can't stand the complaining of pressed blonks or other kpop stans.

[@Capri-LeoGuy]

YG wouldn't be known if it were not because of their signature sound of Trap, Hip Hop, EDM, and MV which has a party sound at the end. YG Stans and those who knew music well appreciate it. BM's music might be similar to BP but it's obvious that they focus more on Hip Hop and showcases their vocals. It's so sad that BM gets a lot of bashing and hate and even compares them to other Gen-Girl groups. I am a blink, a blackjack, and even love other girl groups. We must be respectful and just be appreciative that YG's Boy Groups and Girl groups like 2NE1, Blackpink, and now Baby Monsters, create and balance the genre of music that we can listen to and relate to. We respect opinions are opinions, but sometimes it results to hate. Let's be kind.

[@yuucola4145]

As YG stans, i find it funny when people complaining BM sounds like BP. I mean like, that is YG. They always "copy paste" songs among YG groups and we love it. They have done this even before BIGBANG debut😂

[@ayushanand9f580]

This song’s main part actually is related to Blackpink Lisa’s money main part. The music style is really matching.

[@johnsonvincent7143]

I really hate YG for giving this DEBUT group a Blackpink-sque song. They should've gone for a more unique and out-the-box concept. This is so "yg formulated" for a DEBUT. I feel bad for Babymonster. It feels like they'll be lurking behind Blackpink's shadow for a long time.

[@legendygas2814]

The fact that they dont have the same producers..but its YG brand sound. YG himself is one of the producer.. as well as One of the member Asa....

YESSS!!! The fact that Jordan did a video for BAYMON's debut MV totally made my day! I was worried he wouldn't do a video for "Batter Up" when it's just one of the countless K-pop MV's out there. Always appreciate Jordan's review/reaction vids, makes me notice the details and appreciate K-pop editors and just editors in general more, they are so under-appreciated IMHO: "Batter Up" does draw a lot of references from previous YG MV's (esp BP's), I do wish BAYMON the best, they have amazing potential, just hope YG can get things sorted out...also really wish Ahyeon could've debuted with them T-T

[@sp600able]

Why,no one is talking about Blackpink copying other artists music beats? Always targetting only on Babymonster. Blackpink also copied music beats of others 1.Shutdown - intro music beat is copied from (Niccolo Paganini- La campanella) 2.Crazy over you - main beat is also copied from a Indian song called( Bipasha -2012)go search it . 3. Pink venom - Lisa's part was copied from Rihana's song (Pon de replay 2005). And these haters are only accusing Babymonster not Blackpink for copying .Some blinds even say it is a sample or inspirations. Blackpink also copied the concepts of 2ne1
