(I know you're praising them and just saying they're basically all "mains" which is definitely not wrong, just wanted to give my 2 cents) I think in this group the main vocals are actually Taeyeon, Wendy, and Boa when we consider their parts, while Seulgi and Winter are lead vocalists. Boa got that amazing opening of the bridge which really highlighted her voice, while Taeyeon and Wendy got multiple Eb5s and multiple F5s, as well as stand-out parts in the bridge. And Seulgi and Winter only got one F5 each as well as a little piece of the bridge fitting of lead vocals. So I would say: Main vocals: Taeyeon, Wendy, Boa Lead vocals: Seulgi, Winter Main dancers: Hyoyeon, Boa, Seulgi Lead dancers: Karina, Winter Main rapper: Hyoyeon Lead rapper: Karina
0:19 "the beat" is the name for this line-up and for this release of this unit. "Girls On Top" is the name of this super group/unit. SuperM has fixed members while GOT doesn't and will come back every time with a new line-up(their plan was officially confirmed btw). It's pretty much like NCT U too - just for female. Rumor: People say "GOT" as an abbreviation is used as a word play, in this case "got the beat" and perhaps they possibly continue with that pun in the next CB (if intended) .. for example like "got the vibe" or something. Edit: Please note that this information is obviously outdated now. A journaiist wrote this in some naver article back and explained it, that's why. I can imagine due to the incidents like the internal downfall early this year, producers leaving the company and all the drama etc has forced to change up a lot of future plans and restructuring inside the company. So right now it's uncertain how they are going to continue with GOT's concept. PS: They didn't ask where the name comes from, of course it's a single of BoA so I didn't elaborate on that part. But they were curious how the group's line-up and in correlation to the name for this unit systematically is going to work hence why I explained it.
@@pinguuthepenguin It was supposed to happen but yk the sudden internal downfall that happened early this year + producers leaving etc has forced the company to reorganize/delay/scrape many former plans.

I believe that,Only SM has the balls to have idols from each generation collaborate with each other! Nobody can come at these vocals, visuals, or dance! Also this is an interchangeable lineup with each new concept, SM confirmed it! 1st Gen: BoA (debuted in 2000; 22 years) 2nd Gen: Taeyeon and Hyoyeon of SNSD (debuted in 2007; 15 years) 3rd Gen: Wendy and Seulgi of Red Velvet (debuted in 2014; 8 years) 4th Gen: Karina and Winter of Aespa (debuted in 2020; 2 years) I was also freaking out. 4 generations of kpop its crazy. They all look like a dynasty of performers.
After seeing Sera's reaction to this song, I started to see this song with special way. The idea of bringing generations together was very good and it gives a thrill to see them all together, really acting as a uniform group. It's hard to point out a highlight having such talented women, but Hyoyeon's vibe catches my eye. With that said, I have to be honest and say how much I FREAKED OUT with Wendy and Seulgi. I have a huge respect for BoA and SNSD, but *Red Velvet is my fav group ever (along DC) and see Wendy and Seulgi shining on this project make me so proud and happy.* The bridge is AWESOME. BoA and Wendy are perfect, and even though I don't like aespa, damn, Winter did such a GREAT JOB on that part. Wow, beautiful, beautiful voice. *Onlyoneof just had a comeback, you guys should check out*
I've seen many reactions to this song. This is the first one where anyone tried to say it was "misogynistic" or "empowering men". It's not either. It's simply one woman telling another that she overstepped her bounds. Which very much does happen in real life. How some female Kpop fans are upset with Chen's wife is a good example of this.
I enjoyed the lyric part hahaah where she says that she is glad to not knowing how to understand Korean but even if she knew the language she still would listen to it hahahah that is so true, is like those songs that doesn't make sense but you can't stop banging your head to the beat!
You guys can you imagine if Seulgi could get Janet Jackson to be her mentor. Just listen to her when she sings Be Natural or Automatic. She has Janet Jackson's sultry voice and mind blowing charismatic stage performance. Honestly SM is the best but Abyss Bam Bam is fire, just imagine Seulgi going to Abyss and becoming a Solo artists. She like Bam Bam is limitless. This video had 4 generations of powerhouses in it.
It was like a dream come true to see all those incredible artist in the same stage at the same time, it suck for the song lyrics but the song itself and the performance were fantastic, maybe we need Dreamcatcher to cover that song, changing the lyrics to improve it like they did with Bang Bang Bang.
Taeyeon was the one who brought me to kpop and I'm a huge fan of all SM girlgroups so it's so exciting to see them with the legendary BoA! I try to imagine if F(x) were also on it, Luna would be perfect for this subunit
The song lyrics are NOT about empowering men! That is such a deliberate misinterpretation! It's about a woman confronting a would-be homewrecker! It's not even clear that the other woman was getting anywhere with the man (and it's baked in misandry to just assume he's succumbing to the other), it's just that the point-of-view character isn't going to let it slide, whether he is resisting or not. Some things are worth fighting for, in relationships or other other arenas, and women do that. It is NOT misogyny to acknowledge that! This is a woman saying "I've made MY pick, because he's awesome _(as expressed in the quoted lyrics),_ and you don't get to waltz in and try to take him away". Much more empowering than oh, say, "Stand By Your Man".
It’s just the wrong way to go in our opinion for such a powerful group of wonder women in kpop. :/// Like look at the material and they’re singing about downgrading other women when we in reality know none of them would be like that. Also I know it’s not written by them and they were probably just given this concept, but like I said: For a group like them, literally the most empowering women I know in kpop, to sing about a topic like that just didn’t feel right 🥲 But that’s okay yknow opinions differ!
@@DifferentlyAlike Do you not see the hypocrisy in your own comment though? Wanting to promote female empowerment, but then telling a girl group what they should or shouldn't sing about? That makes no sense. Also, why would you want to defend the "silly girls" of this song? By defending them, you are basically saying you think it is fine to be disrespectful to someone else's relationship. Girls (and men as well) deserve to be called out for that. It's disgusting.
Her man is on another level because he was not tempted by the other woman making the moves on him, mind you. You'd be a hypocrite if you wouldn't think the same of your man if you found out he stayed faithful to you despite the advances of a "silly girl".
This is definitely one of those songs that gets better as the song progresses. I wasn't really feeling it until the pre - chorus. The song felt kinda repetitive to me. But I really enjoyed the vocals and the visuals
I don’t always look up lyrics, because honestly they can be disappointing , to say the least, but I was hoping that there’d be some badass empowered lyrics to go with these badass legends. It was still fun seeing them tear it up though.
That producer tag is for Dem Jointz! He also worked on Kanye's music AND many nct songs like cherry bomb, punch, kick it, and sticker...also exo's obsession
Anytime you hear "In coming" layered on the track it's Dem Jointz. Others may have a hand in the musicianship of the track as well but the music was arranged by him, Dwayne Allen Abernathy Jr. The man is a beast when it comes to being a beatmaker... he can make 808's sound like heaven.
So any song that's meant to demean anyone is wrong, in my opinion. I do want to believe that all the exceptionally talented women have at least some say in their careers to not be afraid to say they don't want to be a part of a song with lyrics they find offensive so I hope there was no pressure on them to have to be a part of this group (BoA especially can do whatever the F she wants). Again, don't know the situation but that's just my thought and hopefully the industry continues to evolve in a positive way. For kpop, I mostly listen for the quality of voices (and occasionally choreography and production) and almost never read subtitles or have made an honest attempt to learn Korean because I enjoy making my own interpretation about what the songs actual means based on style, tone and what little I've picked up while listening for as long as I have. So that being said I loved what they did and I was super glad Wendy got to be featured in that bridge because she killed it.
It's not even "offensive" or "demeaning" or mysoginistic, the song literally just about a girl showing off their man & telling other girls that wanted him to stay away. It's only offensive bcus people are so damn sensitive & trying to be super woke these days. If this was a male group singing the song, then no one will literally give a damn. The double standard along with the hypocritical stereotype.... Why can't we just enjoy a song without desperately wanting all the lyrics to be super meaningful, uplifting or deep. Sometimes a song is just a song... meant to be entertaining & fun smh.
@@resurgingflame Yeah... if your man is an impotent weakling that needs for you to defend him, then this song is definitely for you. Secondly are you a woman? No? Then dont fucking speak on behalf of our offense and what we should deem right or wrong. What you doing now is gaslighting and a form of silencing. its giving ''all lives matters'' vibes.
I don't see this song as empowering "the man." I see it as a woman, already in a relationship with a man, seeing another woman making a play for her lover and telling them to back off. Should the guy be the one to tell the other woman off? Sure, but I don't care how secure you are in your relationship, if someone is making moves on your lover you're going to want to tell them to get lost. Is wanting to stand up and defend your relationship misogynistic?
Yeah we disagree in the matter for sure. Couldn’t possibly imagine going after the third party and not talking it over with your partner. Unless the partner asked for it. Could be possible, we didn’t read all the lyrics tbh. From our point of view it does feel like that. It’s weird that the other woman has a responsibility but the man with the wandering eye doesn’t. Strange
I totally get where to you are coming from. He's not making the play she is. Sometimes guys can say no and the woman can still pursue. So it's a ok I'll handle this step back.
@@DifferentlyAlike Well there is the English line. "He's sick and tired of you every day." That could indicate he doesn't want the other woman around but she's not taking the hint so she needs to be told more bluntly that he is not available.
Girls On Top was likely named after BoA's song "Girls On Top". BoA is an absolute legend of the industry, an idol of idols and she'd debuted over 20 years ago. This unit puts together representative female SM artists of the 1st generation (BoA), 2nd generation in SNSD, or Girls' Generation (Taeyeon, the vocalist with silver hair and Hyo, aka DJ Hyo, the rapper with pink hair, she'd actually started her career as THE Janet Jackson's backup dancer), 3rd gen, Red Velvet (Wendy, the vocalist with shorter brown hair, Seulgi, the vocalist/dancer with long black hair) and 4th, rookie monsters, aespa (Karina, the leader of aespa, the rapper with long, straight black hair and Winter, the rapper/vocalist with short, black hair). There will be future subunits featuring, perhaps, the other members of these groups and BoA, or, perhaps, even, Bada, a female soloist and former member of SM's 1st generation group S.E.S. whose song "Dreams Come True" from 1998. BoA and aespa have remade for 2021 as a part of SM's "Re-masterpiece" project aimed at preserving and carrying on its history and huge mark on the K-pop industry. Thx for reacting!
There is no insinuation in the lyrics that the man is accepting of this other girls advances so why would they diss the man? Like if some girl was flirting with your s/o you wouldnt tell them to step back? Like it happens a lot more than you think, its happened to me. It's not controversial and people are blowing it out of proportion just because the man who wrote the lyrics is not a good person.
I was actually VERY surprised that neither of you recognized Wendy and Seulgi! I had thought that between the two of you, your knowledge of K-Pop was better than mine. I KNOW that you know Seulgi from Monster and Naughty and more recently from Queendom (actually, Wendy looks almost the same now as she did then; her hair is darker here but the same length as it was in Queendom). You got Winter just fine. I didn't recognize Karina, myself; I chalk that up to 'it's a newer group'. I didn't know BoA, I don't know anything about her at all from before this song. I know she is a big deal and has been for a long time (obviously, if she is First Generation). I didn't know any of that until looking things up after seeing this for the first time. I didn't recognize Hyoyeon, which is stupid of me, I really should have, BECAUSE.... I was first (very memorably) properly introduced to K-Pop by Taeyeon when her solo song 'I' came out in 2015. For me, she is the most recognizable person in this video even with the grey/ silver hair! It's her smile... After falling in love with 'I', I researched enough to find out about Girls Generation and I watched some of their stuff. TOO MANY MEMBERS for my stupid useless memory to keep track of so I moved on. But I will ALWAYS remember Taeyeon.
Hehe hii Özlem here! I did recognize and know them all, how could I not me being a big multi stan 😂 I just didn’t feel the need to point everyone out because I feel like we all know who they are, queens don’t need introductions. 🥰
this is just my opinion but personally I don't see anything wrong with the lyrics. Like, I don't understand why a girl can't call out another girl for overstepping her boundaries? It has nothing to do with the man in the relationship imo, talking to him about it is a completely different matter. It honestly feels like sometimes the responsibility of "protecting" one's relationship always falls on the guy, but if a girl were hitting on my man I would call her out as well - to protect my relationship. Because even if I know my man wouldn't be swayed by her, she is still interfering with our relationship and that's a big no for me. And I know there are people saying, "well if you have to fight off other suitors to keep your man or if other girls are going after him what does that say about him?" But imo even when you're with someone, there's always going to be others that still find your partner attractive (same goes for you, guys will still find you attractive even if you're taken). And unfortunately there are girls who still try to hit on taken guys even if the guy shows disinterest and doesn't do/say anything to lead them into thinking they would have a chance. It has nothing to do with the guy unless yes, he has purposely lead other girls to believe that they have a chance with him. Other than that, when shit like this happens, THAT is her fault not the guy's imo. And the girlfriend in that situation has every right to call her out because the other "girl" obviously doesn't respect the girlfriend or their relationship. When I read the lyrics of the entire song, it seems the lyrics are suggesting that the "girl" in this situation was hitting on him constantly and thus he was "sick and tired of it". Not because he was swayed by her lol. *hopefully I don't sound rude or anything, it was a bit difficult wording what I was trying to say ahaha*
I like how people like to pretend that people who don't know what boundries are exist. Lol. If you were in a relationship and somebody was coming at your partner constantly knowing you're together... what would you do? Sit and watch? Drink tea with them?
I’m in a relationship (going on 13 years now) and I literally just sit and watch when they hit on my partner 😂 it’s funny too watch them try. Even when they are persistent. It’s not my place lmao but I understand that people are different. I’m just literally not like that, lmao.
all these girls together is like one of the most iconic things ever, the lil stan in me is still shook by it lol the lyrics are very 👀 it's the way you can always count on SM to do very questionable things!!! like, GirlsOnTop.......... and these lyrics?????? are we sure???? ok then??????
I’m here way too late, but just in case you both still don’t know, the producer is Dem Jointz, and he has produced for SM before, tracks like EXO’s Obsession, SHINee’s Don’t Call Me, NCT 127’s Sticker and is confirmed to have produced NCT Dream’s upcoming tittle track “Glitch Mode”, that is dropping on March 28th 🤌🏻✨ the man is insane
Wendy was asked by fans for spoilers re the song before it dropped she practically went "meh nothing to spoil." I can feel her disdain an ocean away. 😂
I love every girl on this line-up so much and i just read the lyrics once and never again 🤣 it wasnt even their lyrics, they didnt write anything and ive even seen wendy not singing the "silly girl" part so im sure they were also like... mmmm..i guess
Very late to this, but I binge watched all of your SM artists (+Jackson Wang) reactions lol, and I really like everything about your reactions and your vibe including the lyrics discussion here. but I hope you are just joking in the beginning tho, about GOT being an improvement to SuperM, like I hope you weren't actually comparing and just said that as a joke bc of them being guys...cuz I know you loved Kai, Taemin and you liked/knew of the other members (Baekhyun from EXO, Taeyong, Ten, Lucas, Mark from NCT), so SuperM being a SM super group with these members should be intriguing enough. I'm not sure how much you know of them, but their discography is superb as well, and I hope you guys can get to check out more of their songs one day.
Why did everyone become moralistic from one day to the next with GOT? everyone listens to songs with worse themes or lyrics daily from western artists and they didn't say anything, they just enjoyed. it's called hypocrisy
This group is all generation of SM Entertainment, 1st Boa 2nd girl’s generation 3rd Red velvet 4th Aespa all are good at dance , sing , performance, Rap all rounder it is kinda dream team of SM,
The Bridge was sooo good and Wendy’s notes 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 however the production itself wasn’t it for me and I can’t comfortably play this in my car without cringing at the instrumentals 😓
@@GenerationNextNextNext But his wasnt even opinion, hes trying to negate the persons opinion. If he wants to state his, then he should make his own comment.
Now it’s the time when I think that it’s good that I don’t understand Korean, like….gurl no lmao. But again, the beat is catchy and there’s that, I guess
SuperM: boys in different groups. GoT: girls in different generation (4 generation), and GoT all are Korean. Producer: Yoo Young Jin, SME very famous producer. (YYJ is producer for Aespa, NCT,....) The noise sound in this song is Dem Jointz. If you hear any song of SM groups got the noisy sound like this, it's Dem Jointz. SuperM, Exo, NCT usually collab with him. This group will not have a MV. I think SM just give the audiences a trial version. MV will release with Girls on top project with high budget. MV with high budget or just stage performance like this. Next time I don't think is Got the beat anymore.
They are composed of 4 generation of girl group from SM Ent... 1st gen - BoA 2nd gen - Taeyeon and Hyoyeon (Girls Generation) 3rd gen - Seulgi and Wendy (Red Velvet) 4th gen - Karina and Winter (aespa) thanks for reating..
Lool when I was watching the concert I was enjoying the song then glanced down at the lyrics cause the concert on TH-cam had the lyrics. I was like wait what. But don't take my man songs will always exist. 😅 but I was mainly disappointed because THESE women singing about THAT 😅 for a group called Girls On Top when they're putting down another girl for their man loool
Oooooor, , it’s a song and anyone mature enough doesn’t listen to this and take it as a blueprint for life. As evidenced by people saying relationships shouldn’t be like that. So I can’t understand why we can’t act like we haven’t felt like this before, know we don’t act like this in polite society, and just enjoy singing along. (Not a dig at you guys, I’m just getting really tired of people complaining as if this is a life forced on women who listen to the song or you’re automatically anti feminist if you enjoy it)
Nah, I get you. It’s just we’ve never felt this way so it’s awkward when we heard it. Also just a weird topic for a group called girls on top to be singing about a silly girl that doesn’t back off as an opening song? It’s such a weird choice, strategically. Don’t think anyones opinion on the topic is wrong. Just depending on your own personal experiences you’ll have a diff reaction to it. It wasn’t it for us tho, still slaps tho 😂
@@DifferentlyAlike Indeed it does.I think they were targeting people younger than you that might actually feel this way or at least identify with it, so in that vein, it makes perfect sense. If you notice, Karina was first and Aespa is very popular for the 11-18 set. Then the camera work is like Aespa’s, again to get younger [people. If they can pull them with this first song, they’re golden for whatever else comes out. (At least, that’s my theory. I think too hard; that’s what my AP Government teacher told me 🤣🤣)
Yeah might disagree with you here considering that the majority of the group is older. There are only two members that fit the younger target. Also why give out this message to that demographic? If anything it would have made more sense for the older age group as they would actually have the experience to have gone through something like this. Especially when idols aren’t even “allowed to date” at that age. For me that argument doesn’t hold up. I can agree to that most people wouldn’t react like us and they would have more of the mindset of the song. It’s apparent from the comment section. And honestly that’s totally okay. It wouldn’t be the first time that we had different opinions. Also we all come from different places over the world. Not all experiences are universal. All things considered, it doesn’t add up for us but most people seem to experience this so I guess it works for the majority. The song still goes hard even if we cannot identify with it at all and that is perfectly okay.
If you guys only knew how trash and misogynistic these lyrics are. I cant believe they thought they ATE with saying ''girls, bring it on'' AND then in the same breath ''step back, silly girl''. LIKE??
The only part of this song that isn't legendary is the lyrics, which kinda suck when you consider that's its supposed to be about celebrating women. Singing about a man and putting down other women in the lyrics seems like a missed opportunity to me. Everything else was perfect though
This group is STACKED with talent. BoA, Hyoyeon and Taeyeon of Girls Generation, Wendy and Seulgi of Red Velvet, and Karina and Winter of aespa!

I think in this group the main vocals are actually Taeyeon, Wendy, and Boa when we consider their parts, while Seulgi and Winter are lead vocalists.
Boa got that amazing opening of the bridge which really highlighted her voice, while Taeyeon and Wendy got multiple Eb5s and multiple F5s, as well as stand-out parts in the bridge.

Main vocals: Taeyeon, Wendy, Boa

Agree!!!
The song lyrics are NOT about empowering men! That is such a deliberate misinterpretation! It's about a woman confronting a would-be homewrecker! It's not even clear that the other woman was getting anywhere with the man (and it's baked in misandry to just assume he's succumbing to the other), it's just that the point-of-view character isn't going to let it slide, whether he is resisting or not. Some things are worth fighting for, in relationships or other other arenas, and women do that. It is NOT misogyny to acknowledge that! This is a woman saying "I've made MY pick, because he's awesome _(as expressed in the quoted lyrics),_ and you don't get to waltz in and try to take him away". Much more empowering than oh, say, "Stand By Your Man".

@@DifferentlyAlike Do you not see the hypocrisy in your own comment though? Wanting to promote female empowerment, but then telling a girl group what they should or shouldn't sing about? That makes no sense.
Also, why would you want to defend the "silly girls" of this song? By defending them, you are basically saying you think it is fine to be disrespectful to someone else's relationship. Girls (and men as well) deserve to be called out for that. It's disgusting.
Being the group with the Queens... The face expression 😲 really got me 🤣🤣🤣
3:50 “you put all the lesbians in one group” HAHAHAHAH
Her man is on another level because he was not tempted by the other woman making the moves on him, mind you.
You'd be a hypocrite if you wouldn't think the same of your man if you found out he stayed faithful to you despite the advances of a "silly girl".
This is definitely one of those songs that gets better as the song progresses. I wasn't really feeling it until the pre - chorus.
The song felt kinda repetitive to me. But I really enjoyed the vocals and the visuals
The queens from rookie groups and the rookie soloist is the best combination 😭🤞🏻
GET READY FOR RED VELVET DOMINATION!!!!
Loved your reaction
I love when she calls winter “level”
I don’t always look up lyrics, because honestly they can be disappointing , to say the least, but I was hoping that there’d be some badass empowered lyrics to go with these badass legends. It was still fun seeing them tear it up though.
I like the lyrics
Them being a super group full of vocalist is so good. All of them shine as well
OMG you hummed Janet's burn it up itsmy favorite 💛💛💛
That producer tag is for Dem Jointz! He also worked on Kanye's music AND many nct songs like cherry bomb, punch, kick it, and sticker...also exo's obsession
Anytime you hear "In coming" layered on the track it's Dem Jointz. Others may have a hand in the musicianship of the track as well but the music was arranged by him, Dwayne Allen Abernathy Jr. The man is a beast when it comes to being a beatmaker... he can make 808's sound like heaven.
So any song that's meant to demean anyone is wrong, in my opinion. I do want to believe that all the exceptionally talented women have at least some say in their careers to not be afraid to say they don't want to be a part of a song with lyrics they find offensive so I hope there was no pressure on them to have to be a part of this group (BoA especially can do whatever the F she wants). Again, don't know the situation but that's just my thought and hopefully the industry continues to evolve in a positive way.
For kpop, I mostly listen for the quality of voices (and occasionally choreography and production) and almost never read subtitles or have made an honest attempt to learn Korean because I enjoy making my own interpretation about what the songs actual means based on style, tone and what little I've picked up while listening for as long as I have. So that being said I loved what they did and I was super glad Wendy got to be featured in that bridge because she killed it.
It's not even "offensive" or "demeaning" or mysoginistic, the song literally just about a girl showing off their man & telling other girls that wanted him to stay away. It's only offensive bcus people are so damn sensitive & trying to be super woke these days.
If this was a male group singing the song, then no one will literally give a damn. The double standard along with the hypocritical stereotype.... Why can't we just enjoy a song without desperately wanting all the lyrics to be super meaningful, uplifting or deep. Sometimes a song is just a song... meant to be entertaining & fun smh.
“Offensive” 🤣🤣🤣
@@riffgroove exactly.
@@riffgroove you're here yet again, simpin for men and misogyny. Please seek help.
@@resurgingflame Yeah... if your man is an impotent weakling that needs for you to defend him, then this song is definitely for you. Secondly are you a woman? No? Then dont fucking speak on behalf of our offense and what we should deem right or wrong. What you doing now is gaslighting and a form of silencing. its giving ''all lives matters'' vibes.
"You put all the lesbians in one group" LMAO 😂
I think she said husbands lol
Bro can u not hear, are u deaf @n.luv555
I don't see this song as empowering "the man." I see it as a woman, already in a relationship with a man, seeing another woman making a play for her lover and telling them to back off. Should the guy be the one to tell the other woman off? Sure, but I don't care how secure you are in your relationship, if someone is making moves on your lover you're going to want to tell them to get lost. Is wanting to stand up and defend your relationship misogynistic?
Yeah we disagree in the matter for sure. Couldn’t possibly imagine going after the third party and not talking it over with your partner. Unless the partner asked for it. Could be possible, we didn’t read all the lyrics tbh.
From our point of view it does feel like that. It’s weird that the other woman has a responsibility but the man with the wandering eye doesn’t. Strange
I totally get where to you are coming from. He's not making the play she is. Sometimes guys can say no and the woman can still pursue. So it's a ok I'll handle this step back.
@@DifferentlyAlike Well there is the English line. "He's sick and tired of you every day." That could indicate he doesn't want the other woman around but she's not taking the hint so she needs to be told more bluntly that he is not available.
Okay but that makes sense in context then? So is the controversy then that it was written by someone that has said problematic things in the past?
@@riffgroove Here you are again.... i feel bad for your fingers typing all this shit in every video like a dead record

정말 멋지신 칼로스 코치님🔥
Girls On Top was likely named after BoA's song "Girls On Top". BoA is an absolute legend of the industry, an idol of idols and she'd debuted over 20 years ago. This unit puts together representative female SM artists of the 1st generation (BoA), 2nd generation in SNSD, or Girls' Generation (Taeyeon, the vocalist with silver hair and Hyo, aka DJ Hyo, the rapper with pink hair, she'd actually started her career as THE Janet Jackson's backup dancer), 3rd gen, Red Velvet (Wendy, the vocalist with shorter brown hair, Seulgi, the vocalist/dancer with long black hair) and 4th, rookie monsters, aespa (Karina, the leader of aespa, the rapper with long, straight black hair and Winter, the rapper/vocalist with short, black hair). There will be future subunits featuring, perhaps, the other members of these groups and BoA, or, perhaps, even, Bada, a female soloist and former member of SM's 1st generation group S.E.S. whose song "Dreams Come True" from 1998. BoA and aespa have remade for 2021 as a part of SM's "Re-masterpiece" project aimed at preserving and carrying on its history and huge mark on the K-pop industry. Thx for reacting!
*I know you guys are familiar, but, just in case there are new fans! :)
"is she... levuhl?" to Winter 🤣🤣🤣🤣
This song got everything but lyrics... What a pity...
Thanks because both of you reaction to GOt the best Step Back 👍😊 Hello from Malaysia
Both of you so freaking gorgeous deym 😭😭😭
There is no insinuation in the lyrics that the man is accepting of this other girls advances so why would they diss the man? Like if some girl was flirting with your s/o you wouldnt tell them to step back? Like it happens a lot more than you think, its happened to me. It's not controversial and people are blowing it out of proportion just because the man who wrote the lyrics is not a good person.
I was waiting for it
SM's Female super group
1st gen: BoA, 2nd gen: Taeyeon and Hyoyeon (Girls Generation)
3rd gen: Seulgi and Wendy (Red Velvet) 4th gen: Karina and Winter (aespa)
You did not just attach your lapel to your braids 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 How did I just notice 😭😭😭😭😭
🤣😂
I was actually VERY surprised that neither of you recognized Wendy and Seulgi! I had thought that between the two of you, your knowledge of K-Pop was better than mine. I KNOW that you know Seulgi from Monster and Naughty and more recently from Queendom (actually, Wendy looks almost the same now as she did then; her hair is darker here but the same length as it was in Queendom).
You got Winter just fine. I didn't recognize Karina, myself; I chalk that up to 'it's a newer group'.
I didn't know BoA, I don't know anything about her at all from before this song. I know she is a big deal and has been for a long time (obviously, if she is First Generation). I didn't know any of that until looking things up after seeing this for the first time.
I didn't recognize Hyoyeon, which is stupid of me, I really should have, BECAUSE....
I was first (very memorably) properly introduced to K-Pop by Taeyeon when her solo song 'I' came out in 2015. For me, she is the most recognizable person in this video even with the grey/ silver hair! It's her smile...
After falling in love with 'I', I researched enough to find out about Girls Generation and I watched some of their stuff. TOO MANY MEMBERS for my stupid useless memory to keep track of so I moved on. But I will ALWAYS remember Taeyeon.
Hehe hii Özlem here! I did recognize and know them all, how could I not me being a big multi stan 😂 I just didn’t feel the need to point everyone out because I feel like we all know who they are, queens don’t need introductions. 🥰
@@DifferentlyAlike Okay, that actually makes a lot of sense! :D
Keep up the great work! Luv ya!
this is just my opinion but personally I don't see anything wrong with the lyrics. Like, I don't understand why a girl can't call out another girl for overstepping her boundaries? It has nothing to do with the man in the relationship imo, talking to him about it is a completely different matter. It honestly feels like sometimes the responsibility of "protecting" one's relationship always falls on the guy, but if a girl were hitting on my man I would call her out as well - to protect my relationship. Because even if I know my man wouldn't be swayed by her, she is still interfering with our relationship and that's a big no for me.
And I know there are people saying, "well if you have to fight off other suitors to keep your man or if other girls are going after him what does that say about him?" But imo even when you're with someone, there's always going to be others that still find your partner attractive (same goes for you, guys will still find you attractive even if you're taken). And unfortunately there are girls who still try to hit on taken guys even if the guy shows disinterest and doesn't do/say anything to lead them into thinking they would have a chance. It has nothing to do with the guy unless yes, he has purposely lead other girls to believe that they have a chance with him. Other than that, when shit like this happens, THAT is her fault not the guy's imo. And the girlfriend in that situation has every right to call her out because the other "girl" obviously doesn't respect the girlfriend or their relationship.
When I read the lyrics of the entire song, it seems the lyrics are suggesting that the "girl" in this situation was hitting on him constantly and thus he was "sick and tired of it". Not because he was swayed by her lol.
*hopefully I don't sound rude or anything, it was a bit difficult wording what I was trying to say ahaha*
“Nobodies singing along” LMFAOO honestly tho
I love that you guys talked about the lyrics, which a lot of reactions to this song didn’t have. But the music is lit tho.
The song is so good actually 😫
6:02 Song title: Step back
Ozlem: Stupid stupid!
😂😭
I like how people like to pretend that people who don't know what boundries are exist. Lol. If you were in a relationship and somebody was coming at your partner constantly knowing you're together... what would you do? Sit and watch? Drink tea with them?
I’m in a relationship (going on 13 years now) and I literally just sit and watch when they hit on my partner 😂 it’s funny too watch them try. Even when they are persistent. It’s not my place lmao but I understand that people are different. I’m just literally not like that, lmao.
all these girls together is like one of the most iconic things ever, the lil stan in me is still shook by it lol the lyrics are very 👀 it's the way you can always count on SM to do very questionable things!!! like, GirlsOnTop.......... and these lyrics?????? are we sure???? ok then??????
I’m here way too late, but just in case you both still don’t know, the producer is Dem Jointz, and he has produced for SM before, tracks like EXO’s Obsession, SHINee’s Don’t Call Me, NCT 127’s Sticker and is confirmed to have produced NCT Dream’s upcoming tittle track “Glitch Mode”, that is dropping on March 28th 🤌🏻✨ the man is insane
Im sad for the girls bc they have to sing to this knowing the lyrics and can't do anything about it :D
Wendy was asked by fans for spoilers re the song before it dropped she practically went "meh nothing to spoil."
I can feel her disdain an ocean away. 😂
and yasssss to esosa bringing up BURNITUP!!!! we do stan miss Jackson in this household 🗣️🗣️🗣️
Time to react to redvelvet i guess?wendy and seulgi from redvelvet are in the group.
“(Girls On Top) GOT the Beat” is how you read their name (hence GOT the Beat)
I JUST WANNA FLEX THAT QUEEN BOA IS FROM 1ST GENERATION AND ONE OF THE DIRECTOR IN SM ENTERTAINMENT ❤
I love every girl on this line-up so much and i just read the lyrics once and never again 🤣 it wasnt even their lyrics, they didnt write anything and ive even seen wendy not singing the "silly girl" part so im sure they were also like... mmmm..i guess
Very late to this, but I binge watched all of your SM artists (+Jackson Wang) reactions lol, and I really like everything about your reactions and your vibe including the lyrics discussion here. but I hope you are just joking in the beginning tho, about GOT being an improvement to SuperM, like I hope you weren't actually comparing and just said that as a joke bc of them being guys...cuz I know you loved Kai, Taemin and you liked/knew of the other members (Baekhyun from EXO, Taeyong, Ten, Lucas, Mark from NCT), so SuperM being a SM super group with these members should be intriguing enough. I'm not sure how much you know of them, but their discography is superb as well, and I hope you guys can get to check out more of their songs one day.
Why did everyone become moralistic from one day to the next with GOT? everyone listens to songs with worse themes or lyrics daily from western artists and they didn't say anything, they just enjoyed.
it's called hypocrisy
True. They're okay with boys fighting over girls, BUT they say girls can't fight over boys.
That's not only hypocrisy, that's also literally MISOGYNY.
when she said "they put all the lesbis in one group" bro thats where i lost my shit 😆
React to Taeyeon (winter's mom) - Can't control myself
This group is all generation of SM Entertainment, 1st Boa 2nd girl’s generation 3rd Red velvet 4th Aespa all are good at dance , sing , performance, Rap all rounder it is kinda dream team of SM,
The Bridge was sooo good and Wendy’s notes 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 however the production itself wasn’t it for me and I can’t comfortably play this in my car without cringing at the instrumentals 😓
The instrumental isn't cringey...?
@@resurgingflame Can you just let people have their own opinion? Goddamn.
@@ijustwannabehappier-v4973 We can have opinions about others opinions, I think.
@@GenerationNextNextNext But his wasnt even opinion, hes trying to negate the persons opinion. If he wants to state his, then he should make his own comment.
This stage video is the mv itself
That "songwriter" should find a job that he can actually do.
live stage and dance practice of this next pls
the "incomiiing" is dem jointz's tag, he's indeed an awesome and famous producer tho
Fact : Boa 1st gen
Taeyeon and hyoyeon 2nd gen
Seulgi and Wendy 3rd gen
Karina and winter 4th gen
All are from SM entertainment 😎
Y'all are so funny lmao
But I'm literally the same ahaha
8:00 girl we need a full cover 🤨
Now it’s the time when I think that it’s good that I don’t understand Korean, like….gurl no lmao.
But again, the beat is catchy and there’s that, I guess
3:40 아 개웃곀ㅋㅋㅋㅋ마이 맨? 으엙?
BoA soloist
Teayeon and Hyo from Girls Generation
Selgui and Wendy from Red Velvet
Karina and Winter from ÆSPA
3:36 same girl, same 😩
SuperM: boys in different groups.
GoT: girls in different generation (4 generation), and GoT all are Korean.
Producer: Yoo Young Jin, SME very famous producer. (YYJ is producer for Aespa, NCT,....)
The noise sound in this song is Dem Jointz. If you hear any song of SM groups got the noisy sound like this, it's Dem Jointz. SuperM, Exo, NCT usually collab with him.
This group will not have a MV. I think SM just give the audiences a trial version. MV will release with Girls on top project with high budget. MV with high budget or just stage performance like this.
Next time I don't think is Got the beat anymore.
Boa: 1generation
Taeyeon hyo : 2generation
Wendy seulgi : 3generation
Karina Winter : 4generation
DEM JOINTZ is the producer he's worked with everybody Rihanna Dr Dre Janet Christina KPop NCT EXO SHINEE & so many more
TAEYEON is WINTER's MOM yaaaazzzzz
I Love Your Reactions. Pleaase react to Moonbyul and Seori "Shutdown" !!!! THE BEST.
They are composed of 4 generation of girl group from SM Ent...
1st gen - BoA
2nd gen - Taeyeon and Hyoyeon (Girls Generation)
3rd gen - Seulgi and Wendy (Red Velvet)
4th gen - Karina and Winter (aespa)
thanks for reating..
Must react on 2 latest MV for Max changmin 'fever' & 'devil'.. These are the songs of 2022 at all., 🤯😍🙌
Lool when I was watching the concert I was enjoying the song then glanced down at the lyrics cause the concert on TH-cam had the lyrics. I was like wait what. But don't take my man songs will always exist. 😅 but I was mainly disappointed because THESE women singing about THAT 😅 for a group called Girls On Top when they're putting down another girl for their man loool
Exactly!! Thank you!! Hahahahha, it was more the confusion about THEM singing this kind of song, it just felt off, you know??
YOU PUT ALL THE LESBIANS IN ONE GROUP
"Is this sm?" Lol
THIS SONG HAD ME DOING THE STANK FACE
i think u r referring dem jointz as one of the producer of step back
'thats her mom' HAHAHAHAHAHA
Oooooor, , it’s a song and anyone mature enough doesn’t listen to this and take it as a blueprint for life. As evidenced by people saying relationships shouldn’t be like that. So I can’t understand why we can’t act like we haven’t felt like this before, know we don’t act like this in polite society, and just enjoy singing along. (Not a dig at you guys, I’m just getting really tired of people complaining as if this is a life forced on women who listen to the song or you’re automatically anti feminist if you enjoy it)
Nah, I get you. It’s just we’ve never felt this way so it’s awkward when we heard it. Also just a weird topic for a group called girls on top to be singing about a silly girl that doesn’t back off as an opening song? It’s such a weird choice, strategically.
Don’t think anyones opinion on the topic is wrong. Just depending on your own personal experiences you’ll have a diff reaction to it.
It wasn’t it for us tho, still slaps tho 😂
@@DifferentlyAlike Indeed it does.I think they were targeting people younger than you that might actually feel this way or at least identify with it, so in that vein, it makes perfect sense. If you notice, Karina was first and Aespa is very popular for the 11-18 set. Then the camera work is like Aespa’s, again to get younger [people. If they can pull them with this first song, they’re golden for whatever else comes out. (At least, that’s my theory. I think too hard; that’s what my AP Government teacher told me 🤣🤣)
Yeah might disagree with you here considering that the majority of the group is older. There are only two members that fit the younger target. Also why give out this message to that demographic?
If anything it would have made more sense for the older age group as they would actually have the experience to have gone through something like this.
Especially when idols aren’t even “allowed to date” at that age. For me that argument doesn’t hold up.
I can agree to that most people wouldn’t react like us and they would have more of the mindset of the song. It’s apparent from the comment section. And honestly that’s totally okay. It wouldn’t be the first time that we had different opinions. Also we all come from different places over the world. Not all experiences are universal.
All things considered, it doesn’t add up for us but most people seem to experience this so I guess it works for the majority.
The song still goes hard even if we cannot identify with it at all and that is perfectly okay.
Same producer of NCT's Kick It & Sticker, EXO's Obsession and SHINee's Don't Call Me
HAHAHAHA "my man!??!!?"
Onlyoneof just had a comeback yesterday!
If you guys only knew how trash and misogynistic these lyrics are. I cant believe they thought they ATE with saying ''girls, bring it on'' AND then in the same breath ''step back, silly girl''. LIKE??
The only part of this song that isn't legendary is the lyrics, which kinda suck when you consider that's its supposed to be about celebrating women. Singing about a man and putting down other women in the lyrics seems like a missed opportunity to me. Everything else was perfect though
