 Okay, Cravity. Let’s see what you have for us this time. The album is just shy of a three-minute average, and would actually have been achieved if this song had been three minutes long. Interestingly, I've done reviews for at least a couple of the songs on the album, so when I finish this up by putting in all of the above information that you’ve already seen because I have it first even if I write it last, I’ll have to compare album tracklists. We’ve also got some partial unit songs. I’m not going to call them official units, because I don’t know if they are or not, but it’s nice to see them splitting up a little so they get more air time, as it were. They’re not the youngest boy group at the company now either, and I’ve really enjoyed seeing them take IDID under their wings. I love when that happens.

Hello there, funky guitar. You know, I was thinking that this might have made a good summer song, but there’s just something that’s a bit too heavy for summertime in the instrumental. So, that’s good considering the song came out in November and not a more summery month. As with many songs of this length, it never gets the chance to breathe, which is unfortunate, because this could have had some real fun for a dance break. It’s an enjoyable song, and I can sense that I’ll enjoy the stages, but I don’t think this is one that I’d really want to leave on repeat. 

I like the play between the higher voices and the lower ones. See, even though the phrase “sweet like lemonade” gets repeated a lot, the texture of the phrase changes with just about every repetition, which makes it a lot more comfortable to listen to, as does the fact that it’s also a different texture from the rapping. We’ve got some fabulous ad-libs going on. It’s good. I appreciate this.

This is kind of a weird music video, y’all, and I am here for it. This is fabulous. Also, if Taeyoung and Allen could be a little less creepy, that would be great. Honestly, I kind of feel like this is the less…grown-up version of ATEEZ’s Lemon Drop (definitely less steamy, and I also mean that literally) but with the kind of antics that you get from a xikers music video. But it’s just a fun music video. And more to the point, that choreography during the chorus? Yep. That’s it. Honestly, I couldn’t have told you what kind of choreography I would have thought would have been the best choice, but now I’m thinking that it’s what we got. Well done.
