This is the B-side for Entwurf. It's a different sound than the 3 previous songs.
As usual, this list doesn't include live performances. If there are any good ones, please link them and I will add them to the list. All the music show performances seem to me to be backing track-ed and there's no dance.
- Music video
- It's Live – Jinni's only "It's Live" appearance
- Recording
- Sullyoon

This is the first NMIXX song (chronologically) that I can say I actually do like, rather than just “it’s fine.” I first came across it by accident, as a kpop auto-generated mix on youtube brought it up and I was like “wait, what’s this?” I had listened to NMIXX but wasn’t familiar with their entire catalog. I think it is a good thing that they did an early song that wasn’t so adventurous and “weird”.
I especially like the chorus; it has a pleasing chord progression that is kind of ambiguous between A-flat major and F minor, with some nice additions on the repeat of the phrases (the scale downward and especially the drop of a 4th on “colors”).
I feel like this would work well as a guitar/piano + solo voice piece. Has anyone covered it like that?
I really enjoy this one. The tone matches the title of the song and it’s such an easy listen. It’s in my top 10 for nmixx songs.
The birth of Intro Bae! I really do love Cool, It’s a very nice vibe and showcases their vocal tones so well. It’s also the only track where I can say I really love Jinni’s vocal tone. Musically it’s not too complicated or groundbreaking, but it doesn’t always need to be. Sometimes it can just be a damn good jam!
One of the GOATS!
The first NMIXX song I ever listened to and it was in February 2025. After seeing Lily and Haewon show up in various clips and variety content, I clicked on the “Cool” special video. Just realized it’s been 1 year…
Needless to say it made an impression. The melodies and the vocals hooked me. I had dabbled in a handful of other kpop groups. But “Cool” instantly ‘felt’ different. Their voices and talent…it all was great!?
One of my top NMIXX songs to this day.
I really like the string vamp in this one, could listen to that all day.
However this song features one of my vocal pet peeves (and I’ll admit it might just be personal preference) – but fast vibrato at the end of a phrase in an otherwise more relaxed song. IMO its the stylistic equivalent of adding a comedic boing sound to the end of each phase.
