At first glance you could think this is about them being proud and happy with themselves, about confidence. I don't think that is it though. The album is called VersuS VillainS, which makes me think it is not this simple. So I believe this song is meant as a criticism of narcissism, vanity, materialism and also (maybe) the fast fashion industry. "OOTD" stands for "Outfit of the Day" after all, maybe it's about useless instagram influencers posting videos of their outfit of the day, which also promotes fast fashion. The fact that fashion is moving ever faster is the most destructive industry to the planet apart from the fossil fuel industry. The Aral lake has all but disappeared because of the cotton industry for example. It would fit to the Villain image, and you can see in the MV that they are acting. It is shown in the scene where Yoohyeon and Handong are fighting, but then the camera is off and Handong helps Yoohyeon up. The main reason why I don't think it is about confidence or their own success is the line "Driving on the highway, drunken everyday, do you feel like a monster?" and the album title. That just doesn't fit. And there was the ymenehcra account posting about touching a crown is dangerous and other cryptic messages before the comeback. It could also be a big and well-hidden F*U to the Kpop industry, like the Nightmare arc probably was. The narcissism and materialism is definitely criticized here, and Dreamcatcher have been criticized a lot themselves because of their rock/metal concept, while other groups have been celebrated for using a guitar riff once in a song. And Handong standing in front of the camera with bruises all over her legs seems to be a comment on the merciless industry as well. The music is highly interesting as well. The Rock is dirty and distorted. The song structure is not what you'd expect at all, for me it is punk rock meets K-Pop. Not their usual spiel, but a very good progression. It takes a couple of listens to really appreciate it.
Dreamcatcher with “OOTD” was simultaneously great and took some getting used to. I really like the song now. Thank you for your emotional response. “Shatter” & “Rising” (current B-side songs) are more experimental. Both songs were performed at the “Showcase” performance of “OOTD.” First “Shatter” with an incredibly aesthetic choreo, later “Rising”. “Rising” was completely live. It was breathtaking. For “Shatter” there has recently been an official Dreamcatcher “Dance MV” with the fascinating choreo. And honestly? This group is killing me. For more than 4 years now.
Thanks for the Dreamcatcher reaction! Check out their song 'Rising' for that heavy rock feel... heck, check out their whole 'Villains' album!!

Same. Went that way for me every time they switched things up, like "Maison" or "Bon Voyage". Although "Vision" is still my fave from that era.
