  1. That chorus is instantly a hit. Mv is overall super strong conceptually, but a few of these ai scenes are comical. Some are done really well, but at some points I would’ve much preferred a shot of a members face vs some blurred exploding rubble. Can’t wait to hear the album

    this is Monster and Mama’s lovechild…
    i missed full long production Chorus like this sm LOVE IT SM!! what a banger, and the outfits and hair in 2nd half is SO Mama coded?Β

    This is what I imagine EXO would’ve debuted with if they were a 4th gen bg (positive)

    On a more serious note, this sounds like an excellent stadium anthem. What I would give to experience them performing it live…

  4. Like I expected, it’s classic SMP! I love it! People who immediately judged this as 4th/5th gen reheated nachos based on the teaser alone do not know their kpop history lol. Welcome back, EXO!!!

  5. my kings are back πŸ₯Ή song is really hard hitting and it feels like a grand comeback we were waiting for so long. Chanyeol voice is perfect for this type of songs

    the visuals are kinda overwhelming so i definitely gonna listen a couple of times without the MV

  6. Crown slaps as a title track. I think the music video is a little overwhelming, I would have preferred fewer jumpy cuts, but the song production is very clean. I like it a lot.

    It annoys me so much that SM is such a bad company, because nobody else makes bangers like these. This is so classic SM. The harmonies, the interesting melodies, the vocals, the grandiosity of it all. And it has a bridge!

    This is the kind of Kpop the 2nd/3rd gen fan in me has been missing!! We really are in 2016 again, aren’t we.

    ^(Also CBX would have absolutely killed on this and I hope we get a version with them on it someday ;-;)

    Wish Lay was in this a little more (both song and mv wise 😭) but I’m pleasantly surprised! It made me feel nostalgic in a good way.

    Okay song, the harmonies are always lovely when it comes to EXO and the chorus is quite catchy. DO and Suho were HARD carrying the vocal parts but unfortunately, personally, I can notice the absence of Baekhyun, Chen and Xiumin vocals.

    My god EXO really knows how to drop bangers when they have to. All the shit going on with them but they are EXACTLY who they think they are.

    This is very much like early EXO & it SLAPS!!!! πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘πŸ‘‘

  11. I didn’t listen to the teaser before going into this, and I’m kinda surprised by how pre-The War it sounds (and the album too actually, four tracks in and the vibes are strong so far!). Really feel nostalgic by the sound of it, it feels like it’s been a long while… welcome back EXO!

  12. Welcome back kings. Really dig the classic SMP vibes, reminds me a lot of old-school 2nd gen era.

  13. this is so 2016. I never realized how much kpop boy group songs have changed within the last 10 years. loving the throwback.

  14. The MV is a little annoying, EXO deserves better. Something that made with greater sense of beauty and composition. No complaints about the song and the outfits tho, they are great.
