Visuals are always so insane. I need to see the behind the scenes because there’s so many props

Man I don’t know. This is objectively a good song but I feel like we’ve gotten so many songs and videos like this from them at this point It just doesn’t hit the same. I get this is kinda just their vibe and sound these days but It really feels like we’ve stagnated creatively a bit.

I like how the vibes are kinda similar to Gala, but it’s also it’s own thing.

The visuals are nice and I like how it’s still elaborate but more toned down compared to previous videos.
…but I don’t like the song. Gala was iffy and China’s first verse gave me whiplash, but I did grow to like the song after a few listens.
I’ve listened to hypnotize a few times but it’s doing nothing for me. Unfortunately, it’s their weakest track for me. I feel like I’ll be in the minority though.

it feels like the song is 90% chorus, which in this case isnt terrible cause the chorus actually slaps but it will probably grow old for me too fast. Wish there were just more verses after the first chorus..

I’m hypnotized. This pleased my brain. Instant add to my playlist.
MV is beautiful, just a little hard to follow along.

i love it! i feel like it could be better if they committed a high note with the “side to side, got you hypnotized”. wished there was a 2nd verse for a rap verse tho

The art of music videos is well alive!! Their visuals, costumes design, concept and everything else are always so artistic! As for the song, I do enjoy the disco influences and it’s so catchy. They all have such different vocal tones that it just brings nice textures to the hooks every time there is a different vocal distribution. The song surprised me in a good way

This song is just amazing, but I feel like my issue is that the MV doesn’t live up to the song itself – which is a wild thing to say about an XG music video lol.
Hypnotize is a very repetitive song which is even further highlighted by the same members singing the same parts in each section of the song.
>*Jurin: “so watch me hypnotize…” / “every little spell…”, Harvey: “always on top…”, Maya: “every time I clock…”, Hinata: wake up to the click…”, Juria: “follow with your eyes”, etc.*
Usually (especially in XG’s songs) a repeating line would be sung by different members and/or have slightly different lyrics throughout the song.
>*Ex.* In *IYKYK*, Juria and then Chisa do the first pre-chorus, and then switch to Chisa and Hinata doing the second pre-chorus; Hinata and then Maya doing the “tell me if you wanna ride” in the first chorus, and then switch to Harvey and Cocona doing it in the second chorus/post-bridge section
Sonically, the droning repetition is fitting for a song literally about hypnosis, but visually it needed much bigger punches. I would have liked more super close close-ups, especially during the “I’m hypnotizing” parts. Everything felt sort of visually distant and blurred together. The blue lighting in the first chorus at 0:35 should have transitioned to the white much sooner for example. Overall, the MV felt more like a performance video and less like the usual art-pieces we’ve come to expect from XG.

I really loved this and feels like a sister to GALA. They just keep elevating themselves. Plus the video works so well

What a stunning music video, especially Chisa, Maya and Juria really caught my eye!

I read the replies first and was worried i’d be disappointed. I quickly realized that wouldn’t be the case!! I do wish there was another verse but it doesn’t take away from my enjoyment at all, and the music video is different enough from their past videos but similar enough to make it clear it’s a lore continuation.
Sometimes people complain groups don’t have lore anymore, and they can never find similarities between albums and videos, and then some people complain when you can. I feel like this is a great middle ground.

I’ll be here all day if I list the things I liked, so instead I will list the things I disliked… absolutely nothing. Another banger of a track and another banger of a music video. XG are well on their way to becoming one of my top groups. 👏🔥

Lots of people are saying the song is too “normal” I guarantee you if another typical gg released this same song they would praise it to no end. XG is held to a higher standard standard to normal Kpop slop which kinda hurts them in this case. If they do a funky sound people will say it’s sounds weird or it’s too much if they do a normal RnB song people will says it’s boring or uncreative truly can’t win either way.
