 Ah, these are the debuting Project 7 kids that Hui and Moonbyul had a hand in for the show. Nice. It's an interesting choice of name for a K-Pop group, but then there was also the first gen group called 5tion that took me ages to figure out why it's pronounced like it is. As this is a newly debuted group, and from a survival show at that, I do need to look at the ages. I'm quite pleased with the fact that six of the eight songs on this album are longer than three minutes, so if the ages are okay, hopefully I like the group. More than half are adults at debut, the maknae is sixteen turning seventeen this year, so we're good to go! Excellent!

I'm reminded of like a silver nail polish that's gotten spilled. This song has that same shiny, liquid effect to it with how smooth it is and the electric, science fiction warbling intensifies that feeling. Three and a half minutes of silvery R&B instrumentals. This is excellent for a debut song because if you've been following this little review blog, you'll hopefully also be noticing some of the same patterns from both recent releases and recent debuts that I have. There haven't been a lot of title tracks, especially as the debut song for a group, that goes the slinky R&B route instead of the upbeat pop or angsty EDM route these days. I appreciate the buck, you know.

The rapping doesn't stand out from the rest of the song, which makes it a cohesive unit with the song, something that I appreciate. It flows seamlessly from one part to the next, which is a compliment to the writers as well as the members, because even though I know nothing about the members because I didn't watch Project 7, I can hear the different voices pretty clearly, but they still sound cohesive together. Their voices really match this style well. I'm pleased about this.

The music video adds almost a full minute to the song, and I love it. Also, it's so attractive when people do that pencil or pen spinning thing. There's definitely a storyline going on here, which, again, is something I so love, and it makes the entire thing so soft and sentimental. No big statement going on here. Just quiet enjoyment of life and exploration of experiences.
