1:10 why does it lokey sound so romantic-

[@nayeonintern3481]

this is like only listening to the "Mama just killed a man" part in Bohemian Rhapsody and dropping the rest lol

[@jungwons]

i like to call this "black mamba nævis remix"

[@maximoperalta3095]

WHY IS THIS SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE OG?! GOOD JOB

[@nes4020]

THEY HAVE TO PUT THIS ON AESPA'S FIRST MINI ALBUM

[@yukariin6626]

This bop hit me so hard that my wig went flying out of this earth atmosphere and went straight to kwangya

[@hwangara]

this is a perfect intro song, giving hints of black mamba and next level ! it’s amazing

[@maisiefrost2902]

You’ve got to be kidding me...seriously this is mind blowing... thank you for making this from the bottom of my heart seriously like...WOW.

[@Chansbignose18]

"Did i just download it and add it to my summer playlist?" ✨YES I DID✨

[@K-pop_lv]

holy shi- that's better than expected

[@ABKPOPMUSICS]

Wow, I also thought how it'll sound if we combine this both ' beat drop part x black mamba '

[@ladavis570]

I really wish in the Single Album they would've split Next Level like they do with other SM songs (Like SHINee Sherlock and SuperM One). I love the Naevis calling section so much i wish there was a full version

[@Esomusicaify]

I still comeback to this almost weekly, you really outsould the entire SM creative team with this one. Thank you for you contribution to human music history 🙏
