• I could imagine the producers forcing CL to reduce her usual fierceness in this song, haha.
• I love you, OOOOOH, ooooh…
• The music video is oddly sexy…(?)

POINTS

• Their hair… I thought I had enough with Fantastic Baby…
• It’s a mid tempo listen: DJs, look elsewhere for energetic kpop.
• Agh, this song is so angsty!
• I LOVE the lyrics though…
• The video was pretty creepy and scary… Yet, it has interesting details that had me watching again and again as I tried to catch all the minor details (and hairstyles)…
• The lyrics… It’s like Beauty and the Beast and The Hunchback of Notre Dame combined.
• WARNING! Screencap edit alert BELOW!
