The ironic thing is, since Big Man is the track maker, he basically provided the music for his own diss track.

[@humanreal255]

the splat jp twitter even said he wrote the song

[@abbycollins]

@@humanreal255he’s so wholesome he wrote a distrack for Shiver and Frye to sing. Now that’s talent

Underrated comment by far

[@MintTheGoat17]

I wouldn’t be surprised if shiver and Frye made him sing about it like a “look what you did” thing

[@PootisPlayer]

what i love the most is how Frye’s concerned about how this publicity stunt w/ the sisters was careless, thoughtless, and affects their reputation (Fame), Shiver is concerned about the hard cash she missed out on (Money), and Big Man is wanting friendly relations between Inkopolis and Splatsville musicians (Love); so completely in character of them.

I like that in-universe, Deep Cut released a hot new track that starts with thirty seconds of two members of the band berating the third for making music with someone else. It’s like if a Nirvana song started with them just un-lyrically yelling at Dave Grohl for going with the Foo Fighters.

[@jenivi]

@Rediti @chabaninaboy7148 id like to think shiver does care about big man (and not just money) and she does so by not being direct about it (cuz fryes direct), kinda hiding it. this is cuz her first line was her passive aggressively saying he should hang with them aaalll the time if theyre so great. then she talks about the share of the money to further hide how upset she was (+ she does like money, and u gotta admit the money bit is pretty funny).

[@dantesdiscoinfernolol]

​​@@humanreal255Yeah, that's the thing: since he canonically composed and helped sing the track, I feel like it's a bit of an act. Shiver and Frye were most likely a bit miffed when they found out he collabed behind their backs _(since they shouldn't actually mind the Squid Sisters all that much - they said themselves that they're always down to tour with their Bosses)._ Shiver's reaction is more passive-aggressive, and Frye is more aggressive-aggressive, at least verbally. To make it up to them (and bring in some money for Deep Cut to share this time), Big Man wrote a song about their behind the scenes scuffle and his "betrayal". What we're hearing is mostly them playing it up for the camera, not genuine trust being lost.

[@crazygoatanimations3577]

This song shows each member's poison. Frye is really mad at Big Man for the supposed "betrayal" (Anger), Shiver mentions she wants to profit from future collabs (Greed) and Big Man was ignorant in his decision with a dream of harmony (Ignorance).

I feel like we should remember the fact that Big Man both wrote the lyrics and made the composition for the song we're listening to rn I'm willing to bet that they already sorted things out with eachother behind the scenes and this song is just them playing up the concept for lols and song inspiration I don't feel like they'd genuinely be this mean to Big Man

I just came here from Suffer No Fools with Off the Hook, and I just want to say that there should be an extra verse where Big Man blows up and just gives Shiver and Frye the business for collaborating with Off the Hook as a rebuttal for Frye and Shiver dissing him. Though, he might be too nice for that.

[@Joy-hl6ur]

Seeing so many people say that you should vote for Big Man because he is willing to collaborate with others, makes me realize that not many understood the song, the song is about how Big Man betrayed Shiver and Frye for not telling them he was going to collaborate with the Squid Sisters, and betraying your own group by collaborating with a rival band without telling them anything is not a good aspect of a Capable leader. (but honestly no one in Deep cut would be a good leader, that's the fun part Ps: sorry for the english, not my first language)

[@carroy3486]

THISSS!!!

[@DonutZX386]

FACTS

[@TiredLex]

I really feel like people are being dramatic with the term betraying. All he did was do one song with squid sisters, it's not like he completely ditched deep cut and joined squid sisters. Also he already is a leader of his own clan btw.

[@bonnyvoid]

They use the word treason when it has nothing to do with it. They see it as a betrayal because THEY DID NOT MAKE A PROFIT, bigman collaborated for free and their group only sees money and fame. If you are with a group of people who only see things out of pure interest and someone else comes to ask you in a friendly way for a friendly collaboration, is it ok to let your group take advantage of you and the situation because that's all they see? Since the beginning Shiver and Frye have been misbehaving with him, and it's not since now, it's since the beginning when they told him he was just the mascot. They say betrayal betrayal, but they don't see the whole picture that has been going on since the beginning.

[@Dynx451]

I suggest team Frye, shiver in the game wouldn’t make a good leader as she wants power and money despite already being in a wealthy clan, Big man doesn’t seem like a good leader as he wouldn’t stand up for himself and if there were any hate about him being the leader his poor heart would shatter completely Frye tho would be a good leader, in the story she offered to split the treasure with neo agent 3, she’s taken over the massive cube thingy which wouldn’t have been easy, and in the deep cut intro in the story, she introduced the whole team and was standing more infront which shows she has a lot of confidence which is good traits for a leader Plus if your worried about the badges and banners you get them all doesn’t matter the team

final splatfest and it's only two of them💀

[@Ana36377]

Something interesting I noticed about the song is that in the dialogue part, Frye and Big Man’s lines are shaky and jittery, while Shiver’s lines aren’t. Granted, Big Man is being yelled at so he would be afraid but this implies that Frye is also full of emotion, meaning she might be genuinely very hurt with him going behind their backs and collaborating with the Squid Sisters. Shiver was likely also as hurt but is able to keep her emotions to herself while Frye blows up. This song is still a banger and I can’t wait to hear it in-game! I’m on Team Frye by the way! She’s equal parts kind and strong so I think she’ll be the best leader (even though her being indecisive and easily distracted might lead to her downfall).
