 I actually really was looking forward to seeing what they'd have for me this time. I don't watch as much of their content as I'd like, because there are a lot of groups out there. But I do always look forward to their releases, even if the runtimes of the album and the title track disappoints me beyond the telling of it.

There's a lot of beat happening in the instrumentals, apart of the delightful little plinking that happens, albeit rarely. It's supportive, which I like, and not overpowering, which I also like, but for the most part I'm not entirely wowed by it. However, the dance break at the end? I wish this was coming at the end of a big driving build of energy, rather than having it be a sudden shift. I want this song to have more, and it doesn't because the song is barely over two and a half minutes, which is frustrating. But that dance break is going to killer. I'm calling it now.

So, as always, I love their voices. They've got the lower female voices when they sing that I like (I do feel bad about that, for the record), and their rapping feels pretty stable. Also, I really, really like that there's a quick spot where I can practically hear the fanchant. The vibes are with this song. I just wish that it was longer.

Okay. Did anyone else have flashbacks with the...I don't even remember what it's called, but I used it in powerpoints and stuff that I had to do for school in the late 00s, early 10s. Clipart? I don't think it's clipart, but it's in that same vibe, you know? Also, the music video adds almost a full minute. Those nails are lethal, and this is a music video. Done. Sold. Also, Mai is absolutely gorgeous. And the dance break? What did I say?
