TWS made their first comeback with their second mini-album, SUMMER BEAT! back in June. I reviewed the lead single, If I’m S, Can You Be My N?, at its release and will shortly post my album review for SUMMER BEAT! soon. But before I do that, I will review the pre-release single, hey! hey! in this post.

It has been a while since hey! hey!‘s release. But I still remember its bright and summery vibes. And that is why I am keen to write a separate review for hey! hey! and flagged my intention to do so in If I’m S, Can You Be My N?‘s review. This rock-influenced dance track gives off that energetic and dynamic feel you look for in a summery track. I like the slight roughness some of the rock elements give the song, which adds to that dynamism. TWS’ vocals and the energy the members give hey! hey! is vibrant and infectious, which makes me smile when I listen to it. hey! hey!’s hooks and melodies were catchy and addictive. Now that it is summer where I am (and I am writing this during a heatwave), hey! hey!‘s is a refreshing summer track that I greatly appreciate.

The music video shows the members hanging out and having a fun time with one another after school. They do so much, including playing basketball and going to the beach. Definitely not the fun that I had with my friends after school, but this is a summer video. I like how they keep their coming-of-age/high-schooler concept going in this video. I also enjoyed how bright everything in the video felt and how dynamic the camerawork was, complementing the song well.

The performance really kept the energy flowing throughout and never really stopped. Additionally, it also embodied the youthfulness of both the members and the concept of the release. It is a very satisfying and fulfilling performance to watch. Highly recommend this one!
