I think this is the best song for a person to understand WHAT EXO CAN OFFER and here it is impossible not to fall for them. They are simply AMAZING. There's no turning back now Teddy.
Thank you for this info. Will be on the look-out for it!

I have been on the exact same journey, I started out with SKZ and I ADORE them but EXO can't be ignored. You just can't help it. They will prove, even with b-sides that are randomly put in there, that they are the absolute kings. I genuinely struggle to believe that they are real. Especially live, omfg! Their concerts are unreal! I realized too just how much EXO is in SKZ I'd comfortably say they hold EXO highest in Kbands.
I have the exact but opposite journey, I am an EXO-L since 2013 and thought I will have an eye for any other group and no group will have a special place like EXO until I found SKZ in their Noeasy Era. Now, I have two homes and I am very proud of being an EriStay, my talented kings on top🔥👑

@@A_K_O79 You have known them since 2013😩 So lucky! It's been only around a year for me and I'm completely taken in!
Exo are simply known for innovating the kpop industry and being the idol of idols not only in the music sense but styling and trends too. What they did with tempo and others songs no other group has come close plus the amount of talent and vocals this group possesses are out of this world.
EXO, who else would do a cappella in the middle of a title track. Actually, the lower notes are Sehun, Chanyeol and, yes, Kai, he does low very well. Chen often comfortably joins them, he does so in Tempo, but it is manly those three. These three are the baritones and you often hear them adding the lower harmonies. SM is known for training the capability to hit high notes and loves them in their songs. Kai trained a long time (Suho was the longest, then Kai followed by Chanyeol), so he has developed a good command in higher registers, but he was originally lower. The revving at the end is the logo for this comeback - The E X O letters are symbolised in each of their logos - here the red indicator arm is the middle of the E, if that helps to visualise it. EXO debuted in the second generation, but are credited for starting, defining and dominating the third. The difference is the higher level of performance and the international appeal.
NMIXX could, tbh. Though I'd rather they stick to their more wholesome vibes (not to be prudish or anything, I just think different groups should stay in their lanes 😭)
@@sarahnadeofpoetry Some groups tried, but they never could cover the acapella part. Only EXO can deliver Tempo the way it should with top notch vocal quality
They are 3rd generation. I've been into kpop since 2009 and I can confidently say that exo has one of the best discographies of kpop hands down. So welcome and enjoy the ride 😌
They have this WHOLE story live since the debut where they have powers and fight against something called red force, I bet there's a video that explains their concept. Their MVs always brings at least a little bit of the concept and the fans crack their heads thinking of theories 😂 it's really fun If you want an intro about their concept, you should check out their debut song MAMA.
I love EXO. All of their songs have wonderful instrumentals. We were able to hear all the instruments. It is a group that preserves its essence and does not sell itself to be more commercial. The boys don't need that, they just need EXO-L supporting them.
It really depends on how you define generations or where you place your boundaries. In any case EXO debuted in 2012 so they are right on the line between 2nd and 3rd Gens as they are commonly defined. They sound very 2nd gen sometimes and they laid the foundations for 3rd gen so their influence is undeniable. And they sound better live so I can't wait for you see some of their live performances. There is a reason their concerts sell out in less than 1 second.... :D
I love that you love EXO! I'm a big fan, but they have been doing a lot of solo work and military service for years. SKZ are for sure my ultimate 4th gen/active group. They're both great.
Exo is a 3rd generation They debut on 2012 They used to be 12 members but now they are a 9 member group They debut with a song called MAMA I hope you react to it and react to call me baby and overdose too Thank you so much for your reaction
you don't hear this type of music in Kpop or even in the whole industry often, no one making this kind of music now... but EXO... they have one of the best vocal and technic...they make many different genres and they did it so well... EXO music is just timeless
“They’re only able to do that because of how talented they are“ Thank you for saying such a nice appreciation Tedd. Now you see them, please pay attention more, they have a lot of surprising things to show
Most of all I love watching your reactions to music, and as a real EXO-L as well as a real STAY, I'm just thrilled! Thanks ! We are waiting for more reactions to EXO, they are amazing! Well, I'm not talking about SKZ anymore, it's already clear ❤😂
İ love the way they've used elements of music, such as melody, tempo to actually say something else. İt's amazing how they make you THİNK of a sentence.
Yay I’ve been waiting for this reaction! EXO freaking really did this song. Arguably the greatest vocal trinity of kpop (SUJU the other candidate). Chen Baek DO 👑
Exo is the group who starts third generation in kpop , they are idols of idols , they are trendsetters of kpop groups , many of new idols mentions exo in their interviews
back in 2016 i came across EXO call me baby mv and thats when my kpop journey begun they are my first boy group and i am a more rap or hiphop person but these guys can't be ignored the vocals and talent is a give. they have a special place in my heart, always (i cried my eyes out silently so i dont wake up anyone when cream soda came out at 5 am)
The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so, the tempo is intentionally a prominent part of the song. I think the tempo is also supposed to mirror the uncertainty and unsteadiness that EXO are feeling within the storyline in the MV and be the driving force spurring them on in the story. However, if you read the lyrics, you see that in the song they are talking to a girl and they are telling her, "Don't mess up my tempo." And yes, part of the tempo in the song is created by the squeak of what is thought to be bed springs. (The underlying theme of the song is a tongue and cheek reference to sexual innuendo.) On the surface, the song and MV is meant to be enjoyed by the casual watcher and listener like you would any song on the radio, but if you want to delve in deeper and explore EXO's storyline, then there is so much more going on. As an SM Entertainment group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists -- hence the a capella part in the song. Fun fact: There wasn't supposed to be an a capella section in the song. The members were just messing around in the recording studio riffing with each other and the sound engineer loved it so much that they decided to put it in the song. To understand the choices being made in this song and the story in the MV, you have to be aware that everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 11+ years -- since predebut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon. You need to know that from day one, EXO's concept is that they are aliens from planet Exo and they came to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the evil Red Forces. As otherworldly beings, each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them. The aesthetic of the "Tempo" MV is centered around the color red because the setting is supposed to be depicting the members under the Red Forces' control. Without going into too much detail -- there is so much going on in EXO's "Tempo" MV that it's hard to grasp it all -- what fan theories think is happening in "Tempo" is it's showing the members of EXO all trapped in separate dimensions. Each of those rooms, could possibly be a different dimension and that is why you see the glitches and why you hear Xiumin and Baekhyun with that computerized voice, because they aren't all in the same place at the same time, so their voices are being distorted as they try to connect between dimensions, etc. They also still could be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we see them in their "Overdose" MVs. For several of EXO's MVs we believe they are still trapped within the maze and they are continuously trying to find their way out. The maze seems to affect their connection to their powers and it clouds their minds and dulls their senses, so not only are they fighting the Red Force and X-EXO, but they are also struggling to break free from the fog the Red Force has them in. That's why you see some of the members just lazily sitting around and kind of blankly staring off into space at times. Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in the MV and he is the one standing above everything looking down, so this is one example of where we think that maybe he is the only one who has avoided the Red Force's control and he is observing everything that is going on from the outside. You see Chanyeol being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted. Also notice how the in inkblot looks like it's shaped like a butterfly. The butterfly is also an important part of SM's Culture universe storyline. We see a butterfly in EXO's debut "Mama" MVs in 2012, which is thought to be connected to the colorful butterfly that is Ningnig's symbol in aespa's story, so you will see it all the time in aespa's MVs starting in 2020 as she navigates through the digital world. You also will see a butterfly appear in several of SM's other groups' MVs, which is often used as a metaphor to represent a woman -- possibly representing a connection to the heart of the Tree of Life from EXO's storyline -- in each of the MVs, as a way to connect all of SM's storylines together. For example, there is also a white butterfly in NCT-127's "Favorite (Vampire)" MV from 2021, which is meant to represent the "vampire" woman that they are singing about, and it's even thought could be connected to the white butterfly in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" MV from 2009. It also could be the white butterfly that helps aespa navigate through Kwangya in aespa's "aespa ep. 2 'Next Level' - SM Culture Universe" video in 2022, which would explain why we see a similar butterfly in all of SM's storylines. The butterfly appears to help everyone as they travel through Kwangya. (Everything SM does has to do with Kwangya -- even SM's new building where everything is created and produced is called Kwangya. Kwangya is the metaverse that all of SM's groups' and artists' concepts, and most of their MV storylines revolve around.) Therefore, the butterfly inkblot could be used as a way to try and break the control the Red Force has over them and to remind them of the fact that they need to find their way out of the maze and to not forget what their mission is, etc. (You'll understand the significance of the butterfly more once you get into aespa's storyline.) As you may have noticed, halfway through the MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone. Often, when you see a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this usually means they are not who they appear to be. The silhouettes you see behind the lighted white wall or box also could be connected to the silhouettes you will see when you watch EXO's live remixed version of their song "Wolf" in concert. The silhouettes could be representing the fact that EXO are battling with X-EXO for control. (And, now, it also could be connected to the silhouettes we see behind the white wall in SHINee's new "Hard" MV.) The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve. At one point you see them take those "chess" pieces and put them together to form a larger cube shape, which is thought could possible be a model of the maze in which they are trapped in. And I think this also may be connected to the cube/labyrinth maze we see floating in the air in WayV's "Love Talk" MV in 2019 and the similar cube we see blocking aespa's way as they travel through Kwangya in aespa's ep. 2 video. And I think it might even be connected to the labyrinth cube we see SHINee's Key standing on top of in his solo "Gasoline" MV in 2022. (Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is a former member of WayV, are all members of the Kpop supergroup SuperM, which I think is why SM is creating connections between all of their groups' storylines, because it's all part of the same story. Plus, everything aespa does is connected to the SM Culture Universe and is linked to EXO's/SuperM's storyline.) In SuperM's "One (Monster & Infinity)" MV, we see the members using a map to navigate though what is thought could be the maze that the EXO members are trapped in, as SuperM is coming to rescue EXO from the Red Force's control. And it could even have something to do with the fact that we see in SHINee's new teaser video for their Hard album, that they are also trying to solve a maze, which -- because SHINee's Taemin is a member of SuperM -- could possibly be SHINee trying to help EXO as well. We also see EXO's Sehun on the motorcycle in "Tempo", which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV. In the very last scene in "Tempo", that is Baekhyun with that glass cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline, and it probably has something to do with the fact that Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in most of EXO's storyline. (We also see Chanyeol with a glass cube similar to the one Baekhyun has, in their "Love Shot" MV.) Fun fact No. 2: EXO's Chinese member, Lay, is in this MV, but you won't see or hear him sing or dance because you watched the Korean version, and at this time, because of the political issues between China and Korea, the Chinese government only gave him permission to appear in the Korean version of "Tempo", but he wasn't allowed to participate in the song. If you want to hear Lay sing you will have to watch the Mandarin version.
I'm really happy with all your reactions. You're one of my favorite reactors. And EXO is the best! TEMPO is an amazing song😍 It's not boring to listen to. Well, there's nothing boring about all EXO songs. You must hear all EXO songs❤️
This song is sick! Probably my all time favourite Exo song. Thank you for reacting to it ❤ I know you have tons of requests, but PRETTY PLEASE, do some MonstaX songs. They are so talented!
Well... i think EXO is an another level of group... the king of kingdom... i don´t know... but que quality and level of they songs, music, hard work in the production is in another level.
Don't worry about the names, u got them almost right..Baekhyun said u can call him Bacon * like the food lol Thanks for react to EXO ♥ P.S: EXO opened the door for the third generation!
yoo first of all... i love most of ur reaction videos, cause it is relatable and ur thought was very honest, genuine and detail to technique!!! very insightful love all the way from indonesia, keep killing it mate !!! and please make time to react to this indonesian rnb singer who is now making a move to break the global viewer,She is AGNEZ MO, her latest single ft Ciara called Get Loose... and she's also had songs with Chris Brown (Overdose), Timbaland & T.I (Coke Bottle), French Montana (Diamond), Steve Aoki & Designer (Girl)... thank uuuuu
Thanks as always for reacting to EXO Please check out their songs Miracles in December and Damage EXO and Stray Kids are my favorite groups, and I believe SKs are the only group that can cover an EXO song
fun fact, they didn't mess the tempo there, they went half in measures, but the tempo is the same - mind trick! the whole song is ACTUALLY is in the same tempo if you count it like that
I think this is the best song for a person to understand WHAT EXO CAN OFFER and here it is impossible not to fall for them. They are simply AMAZING. There's no turning back now Teddy.
Yes, up to date, this song is still my favorite exo song
The "dum dum dum" are Chanyeol with Chen harmonising. They did it live once.
This song is hard! Exo’s songs are so different. You can never expect what is going to happen next. So incredible music.
Exo kings vocals will never let u down
Tomorrow Exo’s Killing Voice episode comes out! It’s all about showcasing the live vocals and I know they are going to do amazing!
Thank you for this info. Will be on the look-out for it!
I have been on the exact same journey, I started out with SKZ and I ADORE them but EXO can't be ignored. You just can't help it. They will prove, even with b-sides that are randomly put in there, that they are the absolute kings. I genuinely struggle to believe that they are real. Especially live, omfg! Their concerts are unreal! I realized too just how much EXO is in SKZ I'd comfortably say they hold EXO highest in Kbands.
SKZ/EXO fans stay winning!
@@kj5855 Haha we be getting hammered on cream soda at 5star michelins
I have the exact but opposite journey, I am an EXO-L since 2013 and thought I will have an eye for any other group and no group will have a special place like EXO until I found SKZ in their Noeasy Era. Now, I have two homes and I am very proud of being an EriStay, my talented kings on top🔥👑
@@A_K_O79 You have known them since 2013😩 So lucky! It's been only around a year for me and I'm completely taken in!
The only group who can do accapela in their song and slaay it vocals vocals vocals and btw the one who hit that high note is chen
Exo are simply known for innovating the kpop industry and being the idol of idols not only in the music sense but styling and trends too.

EXO, who else would do a cappella in the middle of a title track.
Actually, the lower notes are Sehun, Chanyeol and, yes, Kai, he does low very well. Chen often comfortably joins them, he does so in Tempo, but it is manly those three. These three are the baritones and you often hear them adding the lower harmonies. SM is known for training the capability to hit high notes and loves them in their songs. Kai trained a long time (Suho was the longest, then Kai followed by Chanyeol), so he has developed a good command in higher registers, but he was originally lower.
The revving at the end is the logo for this comeback - The E X O letters are symbolised in each of their logos - here the red indicator arm is the middle of the E, if that helps to visualise it.
EXO debuted in the second generation, but are credited for starting, defining and dominating the third. The difference is the higher level of performance and the international appeal.
The song no one is able to cover even to this date 😌
NMIXX could, tbh. Though I'd rather they stick to their more wholesome vibes (not to be prudish or anything, I just think different groups should stay in their lanes 😭)
Now I also don't think they can cover Cream Soda 😅
@@sarahnadeofpoetry Some groups tried, but they never could cover the acapella part. Only EXO can deliver Tempo the way it should with top notch vocal quality
@@DenallieDNa Definitely not! They just raised the bar once again
Phenomenal, aren't they??? Yup, EXO are called vocal kings for all the great reasons!
They are 3rd generation. I've been into kpop since 2009 and I can confidently say that exo has one of the best discographies of kpop hands down. So welcome and enjoy the ride 😌
As an old groupie, I totally agree
The iconic bridge of K-pop!!!! Only EXO!
Thanks for the reaction
I found out about EXO during Monster era, but the acapella in Tempo is when I knew I was offically EXO-L
Tempo is THE song but Don't Mess Up My Tempo album is one of my favorite album!! When you got to hear their b sides you know what a banger is!!!!
Tempo has the best bridge PERIODOT
the underlying tempo actually stays the same but the bridge is in half time - pretty clever
They have this WHOLE story live since the debut where they have powers and fight against something called red force, I bet there's a video that explains their concept. Their MVs always brings at least a little bit of the concept and the fans crack their heads thinking of theories 😂 it's really fun
If you want an intro about their concept, you should check out their debut song MAMA.
i've been listening to this song for years and i've never noticed the bed squeaking sound. wont be able to unhear it now
Genius musicality // EXO
All song of EXO is really amazing and all of there vocals is not a joke,EXO is the king of all kpop and king of vocals🥰🥰🥰
this song is such a masterpiece
Tempo has to be one of my favorite exo songs‼️
I love EXO. All of their songs have wonderful instrumentals. We were able to hear all the instruments. It is a group that preserves its essence and does not sell itself to be more commercial. The boys don't need that, they just need EXO-L supporting them.
They took RnB and updated the formula. In my opinion this is an exo classic

In the background was chanyeol, intro was chen (high notes king)..
Vocal Kings!!! XIUMIN, SUHO, CHEN, BAEKHYUN, CHANYEOL, D.O, KAI, SEHUN...
You forgot Lay
Never forget our CEO
I love that you love EXO! I'm a big fan, but they have been doing a lot of solo work and military service for years. SKZ are for sure my ultimate 4th gen/active group. They're both great.

You need to know that from day one, EXO's concept is that they are aliens from planet Exo and they came to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the evil Red Forces. As otherworldly beings, each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them.

You see Chanyeol being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted.
Also notice how the in inkblot looks like it's shaped like a butterfly. The butterfly is also an important part of SM's Culture universe storyline. We see a butterfly in EXO's debut "Mama" MVs in 2012, which is thought to be connected to the colorful butterfly that is Ningnig's symbol in aespa's story, so you will see it all the time in aespa's MVs starting in 2020 as she navigates through the digital world. You also will see a butterfly appear in several of SM's other groups' MVs, which is often used as a metaphor to represent a woman -- possibly representing a connection to the heart of the Tree of Life from EXO's storyline -- in each of the MVs, as a way to connect all of SM's storylines together. For example, there is also a white butterfly in NCT-127's "Favorite (Vampire)" MV from 2021, which is meant to represent the "vampire" woman that they are singing about, and it's even thought could be connected to the white butterfly in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" MV from 2009. It also could be the white butterfly that helps aespa navigate through Kwangya in aespa's "aespa ep. 2 'Next Level' - SM Culture Universe" video in 2022, which would explain why we see a similar butterfly in all of SM's storylines. The butterfly appears to help everyone as they travel through Kwangya. (Everything SM does has to do with Kwangya -- even SM's new building where everything is created and produced is called Kwangya.

As you may have noticed, halfway through the MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone. Often, when you see a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this usually means they are not who they appear to be.
The silhouettes you see behind the lighted white wall or box also could be connected to the silhouettes you will see when you watch EXO's live remixed version of their song "Wolf" in concert. The silhouettes could be representing the fact that EXO are battling with X-EXO for control. (And, now, it also could be connected to the silhouettes we see behind the white wall in SHINee's new "Hard" MV.)
The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve.
At one point you see them take those "chess" pieces and put them together to form a larger cube shape, which is thought could possible be a model of the maze in which they are trapped in. And I think this also may be connected to the cube/labyrinth maze we see floating in the air in WayV's "Love Talk" MV in 2019 and the similar cube we see blocking aespa's way as they travel through Kwangya in aespa's ep. 2 video. And I think it might even be connected to the labyrinth cube we see SHINee's Key standing on top of in his solo "Gasoline" MV in 2022. (Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is a former member of WayV, are all members of the Kpop supergroup SuperM, which I think is why SM is creating connections between all of their groups' storylines, because it's all part of the same story. Plus, everything aespa does is connected to the SM Culture Universe and is linked to EXO's/SuperM's storyline.)
In SuperM's "One (Monster & Infinity)" MV, we see the members using a map to navigate though what is thought could be the maze that the EXO members are trapped in, as SuperM is coming to rescue EXO from the Red Force's control. And it could even have something to do with the fact that we see in SHINee's new teaser video for their Hard album, that they are also trying to solve a maze, which -- because SHINee's Taemin is a member of SuperM -- could possibly be SHINee trying to help EXO as well.
We also see EXO's Sehun on the motorcycle in "Tempo", which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV.
In the very last scene in "Tempo", that is Baekhyun with that glass cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline, and it probably has something to do with the fact that Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in most of EXO's storyline. (We also see Chanyeol with a glass cube similar to the one Baekhyun has, in their "Love Shot" MV.)
Fun fact No. 2: EXO's Chinese member, Lay, is in this MV, but you won't see or hear him sing or dance because you watched the Korean version, and at this time, because of the political issues between China and Korea, the Chinese government only gave him permission to appear in the Korean version of "Tempo", but he wasn't allowed to participate in the song. If you want to hear Lay sing you will have to watch the Mandarin version.
Tempo is such a top tier song😮💨
now the "bed squeak" is all I can hear now
I'm really happy with all your reactions. You're one of my favorite reactors.
And EXO is the best! TEMPO is an amazing song😍 It's not boring to listen to. Well, there's nothing boring about all EXO songs. You must hear all EXO songs❤️
Tempo is perfection 😢

EXO and Stray Kids are my favorite groups, and I believe SKs are the only group that can cover an EXO song
Did you see Hyunlix’s performance of “The Eve”? 😱
@@kj5855 yes it was amazing
I can Stray Kids and Ateez both can cover Exo songs well.
fun fact, they didn't mess the tempo there, they went half in measures, but the tempo is the same - mind trick! the whole song is ACTUALLY is in the same tempo if you count it like that
sneaky production team 👀
I love the effect though!
Babe he said ma boo like my bu
The boys were just joking around when they did the acapella part, the producers liked it too much n the rest is history
PLEASE, please please please please ... React to Exo - "Drop That" (Concert in Japan)
