The girls are back with another single after a year a bit. Yes, I did not count TaeTiSeo in that because their are nine members in the actual group, not three which was the number of members in the sub-unit. Ah finally, they comeback with a new song that has me quite excited and “on the edge of my seat”, only to be disappointed after listening to the song. However, with the girls already making their comeback and other big names coming back in January like Sistar 19, CN Blue and debuts like Infinite H, JeA solo debut, Double Yoon and loads more, something tells me that the month of January is going to get really, really ugly (on the charts, of course).

The girls have made a comeback with a fresh style. Of course, it is unique, but to me it actually mirrors The Boys, which to this day, is one of the worst songs by SNSD. This song to me is like a mashup of 4 different genres. Literally, mean that. There is pop, hip-hop, rap and I think I can here a bit of blues and rock. Though the song is fresh, it is not as good as I expected it. Like come on, the girls rapping is quite fine, but the whole song did not sound as good, especially when the song would abruptly end at one spot and start some kind of remix, dubstep kind of chorus. I just wished to say something about the lyrics. The lyrics are smart in some parts, but quite misleading in other parts. Smart part is: towards the end of the song, where Jessica, I think, yells out “Don’t Stop, Let’s bring it back to 140”, it is quite smart, as 1:40 in the actual song is the same part which plays right after Jessica yells out those lyrics. However it is also misleading, as the start says: “Ha Ha! Let me introduce myself. Here comes trouble!”. Is she referring to SNSD as trouble or the guy in the music video as trouble?

Anyway the music video was quite okay. Yes SM and its boxes, but I felt the music video was more lively and happy than The Boys, it was much more colourful, unlike The Boys which was dull. The speech bubble at the start was quite rare. However, I have to note the weird aspects of the music video. The girls all date the same guy. No wonder they got all surprised and jumpy, they probably think that the others going to find out that the guy was cheating on nine different girls, kind of weird. Also, how the girls all cramp themselves at the front door, and try to look through the small glass hole. How the hell can you guys look through the hole, without placing your eyes on the hole, but instead we see like 5 different faces squished above and below each other, while the other four are jumping around to see.

The dance is quite exciting. It is pretty cool and really nice. It feature small groups in the dance who are like having a dance battle to their own music. I also like the part at 2:52. They seem to improve a lot and seem to be much more coordinated.

6/10. It was much better than The Boys. Quite disappointed. Let’s just say, SM has changed the girls a lot.
