Are the queens trolling us? Or is it actually JYPE? The first video teaser from the Wonder Girls was full of so promise that the girls weren’t going to go the retro catchy sound anymore (even JYPE announced it).. then the 2nd teaser became completely different, it seemed like they were heading the retro sound again which left a lot of International fans (like myself) wondering.. WHY. Then it was announced that the 1st teaser wasn’t the title track at all but the 2nd one. Hmm okay then, they’re queens and it’s been a long time coming, we’ll take what we can get.
This MV dropped last night. My initial thought while watching it: they look great, hot, amazing and I love the choreography but the song, disappointing was an understatement. Sohee sang too much and Lim is a nasal factory and our queens Yenny and Sun only sang the chorus, Yubin’s rap was too forced. Ugh, I was disappointed but of course it took a few more listens and it sort of grew on me. I don’t know if I like it enough, but it’s not as bad as I thought it was when I first listened to it.
This song however, which was the one featured in the first teaser titled Me, In is a genius. I don’t know why they didn’t make this their title track instead. All the voices shined and we got to hear chops from Yenny and Sun and Yubin’s rap is glorious (Is it obvious that I love these 3 ladies with all my heart? It is, isn’t it). But oh well you can’t have everything. I was also reading the comments on the news sites I frequent that Korea probably wouldn’t love Me, In as much as the catchy tune that is Be My Baby and yes they could probably be right. Me, In sounds more Western than ever. I guess I’ll have to wait for their comeback stage til I can further deliberate on what I think about this comeback. Til then, have a great week!
