"HIT" by SEVENTEEN: A "Miss"

 SEVENTEEN are arguably one of the most talented groups working right now, but their latest song"HIT" was more of a "Miss".

*Right off the bat, the intro is not good, and it keeps on playing in the background throughout Jeonghan’s part which was annoying. 

*Then comes the lyrics, and dear Jesus are they something:

“ A buffalo with steel horns hit only ahead”

“The world is our pride of pride” 

"Freaking Bounce it, move"

What happened to lyrics like “what do I do? Without you my heart has no home”????

And no, I’m not saying lyrics should always be deep and touching; they can be fun and simple and still be enjoyable, and many of SEVENTEEN’s songs attest to that.

*Moving on to the annoying overused autotune, with Dino, Mingyu and at the end in that “breathe” part . Definitely not a great decision.

*The vocalists who are some of the best in Kpop had little to nothing to do, the rappers had cheesy lines, it was bad.

What makes this song seem even worse is that it came after a really strong EP. "You Made My Dawn" gave us some great tunes. From  Good to Me to Getting Closer, the entire Mini album was really good, both lyrically and musically , and everyone had great performances to showcase,so normally I expecting  something as good if not a better follow up, and unfortunately it wasn't delivered.

HIT Card:

*Score: 4/10

*Label: Bad

*Star of The Song: The beat

*Final Thoughts: Not the best SEVENTEEN has to offer, not even close. The wordless chorus is what's good about song due to its beat, that being said, the latter itself isn't that great. It's made for live shows, concerts and tours. If you want to discover SEVENTEEN's music, this shouldn't be the one to start with.
*Listen to the Song: here
*Official Music Video:

 As I mentioned, this is  more of a performance song, while performing everyone seems like a main dancer, and it requires so much energy and it definitely creates such a fantastic atmosphere, but as a day to day song to listen to, definitely not the one.  

I am still very excited for their new album, I love the majority of their discography, so one song will not ruin things for me. I’ll be reviewing the album once it drops.
