Listening points
A chorus that you can't stop humming after hearing it once.
The chorus, repeating "I'm super shy, super shy," is incredibly catchy. Since the lyrics are in English, you naturally find yourself singing along just by the melody, even without understanding the meaning.
A non-stop, racing beat
A fast drum and bass beat flows continuously throughout the entire track. Yet, surprisingly, it sounds so comfortable that the short running time flies by in an instant. The charm of the New Jeans sound is that it feels effortless to "run."
The unexpected charm of the lyrics and melody
— The lyrics are timid, saying 'I'm too shy to say anything,' but the beat is the exact opposite—exciting and confident. This contrast is the point that makes you want to listen to the song multiple times.
If you are new to K-pop, try listening to this song on a pleasant day! For a calm night vibe, I recommend listening to the same group's 'Ditto' next.
