    The horn always sounded like a warning to me. The girls are gossiping in the verses and when the horn kicks in in the chorus it's a warning to their friend to leave the guy, but also to them to be there when shit goes down. Maybe that's why the song always sounded sad to me towards the end. I like the horns they make the song stand out amongst all of the other calm ones. Also I'd be a hypocrite if I didn't like them, I played through gen 3 pokemon and that is straight horns lol

    I do think the same about the horn, though I never found It annoying.
    And one of my favorite things about NewJeans is how they add details/variations in their relatively simple and laid-back discography. The example that comes to my mind right now is how each chorus of Super Shy has different ways to introduce the instrumentals and drums, in a song like this, it makes all the differences. I tend to pick up a lot of little details in music (because I tend to laser focus in all the things that happen in a song whenever I listen to music) so I like being rewarded for paying attention. There's more examples of these details through their discography but some of these are:
    - The contrast between the verses and the chorus in Attention
    - The simple melodies against a more complicated rhythm in both Ditto and OMG
    - The way that they intentionally sing the prechorus in OMG and ETA
    I think that's part of the reason why their songs have replay value, it makes you want to hear how many details like this are sprinkled throught any of their songs that you may have missed the first time and it makes you appreciate their songs even more

    • @kaijiezips
      @kaijiezips 7 หลายเดือนก่อน +26

      Exactly why I like listening to em. As someone who listens to heavy music, I always try to take the song apart. I try to find the bass, rythm, and all that.
      NewJeans songs usually have a lot of detail in em which makes it very fun to listen to. I usually hear like, 3 or 4 different layers on their song's instrumentals. Their vocals have some layers too.

    I actually LOVEEE the horns cause it reminds me so much of the 2000´s brazillian funk, to be more specific the ''Furacão 2000'' ones. I really recommend u guys to take a listen because is so similar. Sooo. as a brazillian bunny and also a funk enjoyer, ETA is such a amazing song for me only bcause of the horns. Is so chaotic and everything here in Brazil is kinda lika that too LOL

    @wamothy 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +459

    The way you caught those horns coming in early before the second chorus and tied it to a heightened sense of urgency was insane, I absolutely love that detail and interpretation. To me, it’s like the first chorus is giving the listener a chance to “hear him say” (though “he” is technically speaking through Haerin here, it’s still the first time we hear words quoted from his mouth) before finding out he can’t be trusted and the horns come in to confirm that our alarm bells should be going off. But in the second chorus, we don’t even need to hear what this dude said before those alarms kick back up lmao “Heard him say-🚨🚨🚨🚨” like it’s just the fact that he’s speaking in general and we’re like “I’m good 🙅”
    On another note, I’ve seen similar opinions about the whistle sound/instrument used in Antifragile being too grating or annoying for some people too. I don’t have a problem with either sound and enjoy both songs, but as someone with other kinds of sensory issues, I get it.

    • @choujimi
      @choujimi  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +23

      Haha yeah! The horns coming in the second time before he even speaks is very telling - just the act of him speaking is now worth some kind of warning 😭

    I think your idea of the horns indicating urgency/alarm is spot on, and I think it's also further emphasized by the MV starting with the iPhone default alarm. I know that the video is sponsored by and made for Apple but it still has a meaning here basically telling the subject of the song to "wake up"!!
    That said, I like the horns!

    • @tinytaeyoon
      @tinytaeyoon 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

      Now I finally see why I hate the horns so much. I heard a lot of people say they hate the Antifragile horns but I didn’t hear people say they hate the horns in ETA. For me it’s the exact opposite. Antifragile horn is bearable bc it’s only there for a small portion of the song and it fits the funky vibe of the entire song. From the moment I heard ETA I hated the horns so much. It kind of gives me anxiety. It makes me feel so uncomfortable bc it’s literally a warning horn. And the iPhone warning sound gives me the exact same feeling. The iPhone ad tie in makes a lot of sense with the song, the trumpet sound adds to the MV storyline. I like ETA. It’s very catchy and I’m singing it even now, although it’s been months after its release. But I still hate that trumpet and I always will. It still throws me off, I think I would’ve loved the song if it wasn’t a trumpet. But I do have to agree that it was a great choice bc it just fits in with everything.

    NGL I still heard the horn when you played the no-horn version. My brain filled it in for me 😭 HAHA.
    Tbh I didn't like this song at first. It's obnoxious. Then I realized, I listen to heckin metal. People find that waaaaaay more irritating. So I gave the song a few more tries, hoping I'd understand what it's tryna do, and now I love it. Haha.
    Tbh I think it just comes on a bit too strong for a lot of casual pop listeners. They ain't ready for how heavy this song is.
    Tho I do understand why some people don't like it. It kinda takes a few more replays to appreciate this song.
    Also I love how you connected the lyrics and THE DAMN HORNS of all things to the lore.

    1. Symbolism and theme - it sticks to the story of ETA and how we want the character to handle the situation ASAP (pun intended) as it almost sounds exactly like a car horn.
    2. History of genre - The genre of Jersey Beat collectively is defined by its kick arrangements and usage of samples to accompany the rhythm. In this case, it's the horns. I think it's respectful that they stayed almost closely to the source material.
    3. IT SOUND MORE FUN AND UPBEAT WITH THE HORNS. YOU CAN'T CHANGE MY MIND.
    4. Awkward album placement - Hear me out. It's the third song in the mini album that uses the same genre and beat arrangement. The other ones are New Jeans and Super Shy. Had it not included the horns (which is the very soul of the song), it wouldn't be a diverse track list when the first three tracks sound so identical. Also note how New Jeans and Super Shy would steal the spotlight because of TikTok dance trends and/or popular Western collaborations (Powerpuff Girls). It makes the whole mini album experience more fun and fresh, catering to more musical taste.

    does anyone else see an interpretation of this song where newjeans is lying to the girl? the outro part where they sing "want/need a boy on MY arm" kinda made me think so, like theres a more sinister interpretation where the speaker of the song is lying to get her friend to break up with her boyfriend so she can make a move on him.

    • @choujimi
      @choujimi  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +6

      @joshabrogena1240 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      you know what i think i'm buying this until someone disproves it
      it also matches the vibe of the music and the lyrics, creating that sense of urgency and mean girl tactic on their "friend" who sounds like she's emotionally frail
      the lyrics are very assertive and uses strong words like "trust me", "honestly", "he's been *totally* lying", "my heart hurts when you can't let him go" and overwhelming her with a ton of events from the past, plus urging her to hurry like yo
      the chorus also seems off -- like is the entire chorus quoted from "Heard him say" ie at least the first four lines were supposedly spoken by the boy? even so, it's weirdly detailed. thinking of it more it does sound like from the perspective you raised, the girl/s who are after the boy are repeating all these lines as though wishing these were spoken to them like woah???
      The last line "I'll be there right now, lose the boy on her arm" is the mystery then though. I guess what fits is that this wasn't actually communicated, but wishfully thought, hoping this would be their friend's response to all the conniving they did

    Ooh this analysis was on point!! Since the horns are present throughout the majority of the song to support the theme of warning signs, I love that Hanni’s line in the first verse has more subdued instrumentals which are followed by the pre-chorus being so much quieter. It really helps to deliver the subtle punch of the “He’s been totally lying” lyric and the immediate “Now that you mentioned it…” energy in the pre-chorus from the perspective of us. The progression throughout the song from intense to quiet totally mimics the ebb and flow that a conversation/confrontation between friends tends to have, especially when there’s something to be proven about a good-for-nothing, two-timing, backstabbing cheater!! 😤💢🚨

    I love the horn sound. Gives it depth to the UKG influenced sound.

    That is a very interesting interpretation. I like how you explained it. I always thought the horn and the beats served to show the inspiration from Baltimore. When I first heard the song, "Samir's theme" came to mind because of the use of the chopped up horn sample + the breakbeat type drums. But your explanation definitely gives its presence more depth!

    The horn plush the chorus is my favorite part of the song, it gives the song its uniqueness.

    Finally someone acknowledges the horns! Honestly, at initial listens - I found the horns a little "off" MAINLY because it only plays in one pitch, as it feels like it does not "try" to fit in the song at all. But in context it kinda makes sense - and song grew on me tremendously overtime.

    when I first listened this song I felt like that horn was really weird but after listening 2 or 3 times I felt in love with the song and actually I feel like it is the best part of it! when I listen to the one without the horn I still can listen the horn on the background hahahah is my favorite song from NewJeans

    I really resonate with everything you're saying! ETA was one of my favorites on the EP and I think it highlighted how dynamic their sound can be while still stylistically sounding like the other music they've put out so far. It breaks up the rest of songs and without it, I think the EP would've been more soft and laid back. ETA brings a lot of energy and it makes me wonder how their other songs would sound with a similar layer of contrast added

    this song is so hardly coded into my brain that i heard a car horn while traveling by bus and IMMEDIATELY my head caught on that the pitch matched the first horn in ETA, that's how catchy this song is!! the no-horns version feels odd, empty, i can't really picture it as ever being thought that way, as you said they deliver the message so clearly!

  • @hannisoldjeans
    @hannisoldjeans 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    It provides tension and that's like the song's signature sound now. And it sounds boring without it. 🤗

    I thought the horn synth was there to add ambience to the MV, because the the first scene and most of the MV is set at a party.

    i think the incessant horn sound is best characterized as a source of exigency like it sounds urgent and fits the time theme of the lyrics.. somehow it almost quickens the the pace of the song without actually doing so adding to the sense of urgency

  • @itoobiased

    ETA's producer watching this be like: Oh.. I just thought adding this random sample I found would be cool and it'd be neat if they were put on different beats.

    I have gone through many phases with the horn. At first I didn’t mind it, then I got viscerally enraged by it, and now I’m back around to liking it again. Though I wish it was a LITTLE quieter in the mix.

    • @choujimi
      @choujimi  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      I definitely understand that! Some other people have mentioned here that their problem isn’t necessarily the horn itself, but instead how it’s placed at the very front of the layering

    I honestly love the horn synth. ETA is one of my favorite k-pop songs that I'm really passionate about, because it was the 3rd k-pop song that my girl introduced me to when I knew nothing of it and this one is just SOOOO FREAKING MEMORABLE
    And part of what makes it memorable? it's the horn synth. It adds an element to the song of what I call the "kick", like something that just gets it pumped up. I really don't know how to describe it, but it makes the song so unique and amazing... in my opinion, ETA without the horn synth is like a bird without it's wings or a car without it's wheels!!
