    Okay this song was an absolute banger! Visuals were crazyyyyyyy. Lots of special effects and that hook is absolutely killer. The girls vocals are great on this and they look absolutely stunning. What a great title track

    Too short though tik tok strikes again

    Rei in the cunty bob era! I’m so proud of them. Tbh I had some worries when Ryan Jhun was out of Starship. But Ive can walk on their own and that’s what they did. I can’t emphasize enough how proud I am of them. I have no regret to stan the right group and that is Ive.

  3. I’m glad that it has a bridge, a beautiful bridge, even though the song is so short. The pre-chorus could have used a little more oomf. The whole song is much better than from the tiktok snippet but it’s still a grower.

    The MV is gorgeous though😭😭

    I love it, but it feels so weird not having the usual 3 minute TT

    Edit- Wild Bird & Dear my Feelings are such earworms.

    All the rap parts are great, I find it very “remixable”, visuals are excelent as usual. Highlights: Rei with short hair and Wonyoung with dreamy make up worthy of the thumbnail. Love the instrumentals, still feel short.

    Gotcha is also great, it feels fuller.

  6. I love it! The song is so damn good ❤️ And that part after the second chorus is my favorite

    I also ended up liking the MV much more than I thought I would

  7. Yeah just IVE casually ATE again…I’m simply in awe. This is just the best K-POP group around right now.

    I only have one issue with this comeback: It’s too short. The entire MV is only 2 minutes and 38 seconds long. 😤

    IVE 아이브 – ‘XOXZ’

    MV 5/5
    girls visual 5/5
    lyrics 5/5
    song 4/5

    the reason I give the 4/5 for song

    visually the mv it like Kwangya like AESPA version for IVE

    and surprisingly they talk singing like AESPA this time ?

    at least better than Accendio and Either Way for me

    but I prefer their old songs like Off the Record , Baddie , Heya etc

    I’m not yet mention their top hits Eleven to I AM era

    for now look like I gonna missed Ryan Jhun for IVE discography

    anyway it a bop comeback

    hopefully it enough to get the all kills music chart

    or the koreans will like it

  10. OK I love IVE my ults since iz*one.
    I like that they’ve experimented with a new sound,a mix of “love dive” and “kitsch” the song doesn’t feel to flat but for some reason I feel like this song could’ve been longer maybe a better bridge or fuller dance break. it ends way to fast, and another problem is that the budget is all In the music video. if I listened to it without the mv idk if i would still like it,also I feel like there was a lack of choreo in the mv, I know IVE doesn’t do much choreo In mvs but i was hoping they would. 10/10 makeup and hairstyling. Leeseo really killed it with her verses and Rei shined so much proud of her. But also I’m confused with MV plot but I love the coloring 10/10

    overall song 6/10 (it’s catchy and fun i like chant music and rap music). I barely recognised gaeul,liz or yujin here tho.

    I have no idea why kpop is suddenly avoiding 3 minute duration songs like some plaque. 

    And about xoxz.
    Its a song that repeats chorus 3 times . And there are verses just there which are not that elevating or doing much for the track. Half way listening i expected a twist at the bridge ,and a different ending of the song. But it never came. It waa just the same.
    Not a bad song i would say and i may repeat it. But the song just goes nowwhere and sounds very one tone and too flat.

    I love it. The MV is visually pleasing. Cant wait for the full choreo on music shows. The song, i think it couldve been more. It was short so I think they can still add something to make it better.

    The whole ep is good. All songs have good outros. Better songs empathy by a large margin also might be their best ep too

  14. The EP is so so good no misses! Xoxz is way better than the initial tiktok dance teaser too

    I hope Starship gets back to the old IVE sound and not just trying to make them aespa to tackle the international chart. But honestly this is way better than I expected. Still a great album.
