We start with a setting that feels a bit like a Bingo game. Immediately, we hear a distorted sound that seems to be the base, and not long after, Lino's voice comes in. The song have a very "pop" and "funky" base, isn't it? The bass is prominent, and every part that needs emphasis is strongly marked by the snares. This doesn't last more than 20 seconds before we get ready to enter a kind of pre-chorus.
This section drops everything from before, adding some EDM elements and replacing those marked drum notes we heard earlier with more "party" sounds. We can hear Lino hit a quite high note, and then the chorus begins.
We hear a very pop and catchy melody, with lyrics that aren't very complicated—just two sentences, and the third hitting a high note, characteristic of Lino. We hear this once more to really engrain the main melody of the song into our brains, and then we move to a very short post-chorus, short but memorable.
Immediately, we move to the second verse, which has a melody very similar to the chorus but also combined with the first part of the song. Isn't this rhythm very catchy? What's more, Lino's voice in this section is angelic; his singing ability truly shines in this kind of sections. In the music video, we can also see his choreography, which, by the way, is quite fun and not too demanding for live performances.
We hear then the second pre-chorus, which is exactly like the first, and the second chorus, which is the same as the first one, the same singing and melodic pattern is repeated, this time ending in what will serve as a kind of bridge for the song.
The bridge slows down the instrumental, both in terms of instruments and tempo, and we can hear some extra verses, plus a very high, sharp note from the singer. We jump straight into the final chorus while the extended note continues in the background, only slightly changing the lyrics in the process and ending, as we mentioned before, with that short post-chorus.
And that's it. Already? Yes, another song under three minutes. What a shame!
Score: 8/10

Sin lugar a dudas esta canción es una de las mejores del álbum. No tiene un significado tan profundo tal vez como las demás, pero es bastante pegadiza, y te hace olvidar esos momentos malos del día, y ponerte a escuchar solamente esta canción en bucle
¡Un dato interesante de esta canción es que fue escrita por Lee Know mismo! Por lo cual tiene un mérito extra, que, además de haber hecho la coreografía, también escribió la letra. (Aunque aún no sepa producir canciones, se está acercando al arte de la composición).
Para mí, esta canción se gana el tercer puesto dentro de mi consideración. ¡Es muy divertida! Pero le falta algo que las hace menos interesante que las anteriores.
Por el momento, esto queda así:
- Hyunjin's "So good"
- I.N's "Hallucination"
- Lee Know's "Youth"
- Felix's "Unfair"
- Changbin's "ULTRA"
- Seungmin's "As we are"
- Han's "Hold My Hand"
- ???
Eso ha sido todo por este post. Abajo dejaré mi excel donde dejo los álbumes y releases que escuché totalmente por completo (y me acuerde). ¡Tal vez en algunas cosas tengamos los mismos gustos! Nos vemos en el siguiente post :)
Without a doubt, this song is one of the best on the album. It might not have as deep a meaning as the others, but it's incredibly catchy, and it makes you forget about the bad moments of the day and just listen to it on loop.
An interesting fact about this song is that it was written by Lee Know himself! This gives it extra merit, as not only did he do the choreography, but he also wrote the lyrics. (Even if he can't produce songs yet, he's getting closer to the art of composition.)
For me, this song earns third place in my ranking. It's a lot of fun! But it's missing something that makes it slightly less interesting than the previous ones.
For the moment, this is how the ranking stands:
- Hyunjin's "So good"
- I.N's "Hallucination"
- Lee Know's "Youth"
- Felix's "Unfair"
- Changbin's "ULTRA"
- Seungmin's "As we are"
- Han's "Hold My Hand"
- ???
That's all for this post. Below I'll leave my spreadsheet where I list the albums and releases that I listened to completely (and that I remember). Maybe we have the same tastes in some things! See you in the next post :)
