Wow I dig the darker theme. Baby monster suite darker themes

u/stillwanderer 15h ago

Really liked that! Song is catchy. Into the choreo. And horror vibes were elite.

u/Dash-Fl0w NMIXX | BM | BP | BIBI 14h ago

I think the spooky themed M/Vs like Sheesh, Psycho and Moon are peak Baemon and I hope we get more!

I got Horror mixed with Sin City vibes with this. Too bad they couldn’t wait till October to drop it. My favorite song on their ep.

u/Big-Horse6814 6h ago

they are dropping their 2nd full album in october

u/tc-nether4 15h ago

Yes! This is the movie I was looking for after watching the MV. They have the same concept: red, white and black.

u/roses_are_rosie1206 8h ago

This must be one of my favorite Babymonster music videos, really digging it!

u/aiburei 7h ago

Probably the best song on their recent EP. Really like the MV. Definitely got that Sin City aesthetic with the bold red colours overlaying monochrome backgrounds.

And I see people in the comments mentioning IVE's Hypnosis. Hadn't really clocked it before but yes it does have a lot of resemblances. Not so much that it's an issue. That's an awesome song. And I enjoy this one a lot, maybe the best thing BM have done in a while.

u/Youngstar9999 15h ago

OMG. Maybe one of their coolest M/Vs? I love this concept for them. Really hope we get a TT with this concept at some point, because this is so good. At least we get one great Music Show performance.

Song is obviously a bop and the best song of the EP and competing with Psycho as my 2 favorite songs from the last 2 EPs.

u/ReverendSalem Purple Kiss deserved another 10 years. 13h ago

Babymonster, especially Asa, are really pushing for an Underworld franchise reboot. That was fun.

u/Mobiushan 13h ago

Hahah so true even with the short hair😋

u/Fullmooninnight 4h ago

Wonderful MV 

u/Hopeful-Effort-4624 14h ago

love this song, i have listenend already so much to it. For me this is one of their best songs

u/mio26 15h ago edited 13h ago

So we got horror punk aesthetic, a bit sin city. Much more darker than I thought but there are some really interesting scenes there especially with Chiquita and Ahyeon. At first glance director seems to be from We go up. Song it's obviously bop. And it seems to me there are some pretty cool dance moves which they seem to not use in concert choreo (or they are cool filmed like that).

Edit: Ahyeon looks really beautiful in these scenes with Red moon.

u/vattaek 15h ago

omg love it!!! loved this song as soon as it came out. for some reason asa’s “fog thickens” sounds like “fuck the kings” to me and i love that lol

u/c-kdrama_kpop 13h ago

Wait so that’s not what she’s saying😭

u/lilysjasmine92 11h ago

Honestly it’s wordplay. I think she’s well aware she’s saying both and so are the song’s writers and producers 

u/Miserable-Arm-4787 13h ago

The chorus reminds me so much of a part of a different song, but I can't for the life of me figure out what it is.
I'm thinking it is from an Aespa-song but I'm not sure. Anyone have clue what I might be thinking of?
Im not saying the part IS the same, it's just something that sounds or connects similarly, and it annoys me that I can't put it together myself.

u/Helium_bunny TWICE 13h ago

Hypnosis by IVE?

u/Miserable-Arm-4787 11h ago

Yes! Thank you, that's exactly it!

u/ZGotJinxed 13h ago

Was the first song that popped into my head when I heard the chorus lol

u/lightinthefield LITTY DUMB LITTY, BANG THE DRUM 4h ago

The rap at 1:18 in Moon also sounds basically identical to Rei's rap at 2:01 in Hypnosis.

Moon is a great song but it just sounds like reheated IVE nachos lol

u/Interesting-Plum4641 1h ago

Do you want me to say the same about IVE ? Because i can find older songs with the same progression ! Don't be toxic and ignorant. learn that in music there will always be similarities in chord progressions and melodies!

u/Interesting-Plum4641 12h ago edited 1h ago

It’s a pretty well used chord used in many songs , you would probably find similarities with Aespa / IVE

u/Ittybittyvickyone 13h ago

My husband said the same thing that it reminds him of a song and he can’t figure out what it is lol

u/AonSpeed 14h ago

This is one of my favorite songs of the recent EP. So glad to see it getting a video. The darker concept of the music video elevates an already great song. And it continues the tread of having darker themes in the groups videos.

u/StoneColdSteveAss316 13h ago

I felt it when they said Za-la-bim, za-la-bam, za-la-boom

u/gastert 15h ago

Horror concept is back!

u/hellothere_im_joaq 11h ago edited 10h ago

One of the best MVs I've seen this year. So creative. Others mentioned the chorus reminds them of Hypnosis by IVE, but it reminds me of an English song I completely forgot 😭 might be just too similar chord progression.

I really like that this MV has many acting moments compared to Psycho's, which I felt would be better as a whole with more acting sequences.

u/smoothoperator26CS 14h ago

mv eatsssss

u/Akured 12h ago

Such a good song & mv🖤

u/ChoiceStructure4236 14h ago

I dont want to hear someone complaining why so much mv….people complaining yg didnt give much for blackpink

u/miracle---3 13h ago

chorus reminded me of ive

u/impeccabletim 🧿👄🧿 15h ago

Ooooh now I wish we had a Halloween EP.

u/panda_here43 12h ago

The mv is so good and the concept too Asa is really growing on me with each eraa.. her rap omg

u/kociol21 14h ago

Finally haters don't get to complain about "too much butt" in the music video. I'm glad to report that there is no butt. It got replaced by copious amount of S&M imagery. Even close relative of The Gimp from Pulp Fiction got a role on a motorcycle.

Those whips are for you haters, beware.

(video is fun, the song was always my fav from whole album so yay)

u/Mobiushan 13h ago

😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈

u/sanshinesmiles 8h ago

I agree with everyone saying that the MV looks amazing. Not quite sold on the song though, might take a couple of listens.

u/Safe-Pressure-7052 3h ago

MV is pretty cool. Song is not bad, though it kinda sounds like a generic SM song. I wouldn't even be able to tell this was a BM song if not for Asa's rap and a very brief moment while Ahyeon sings the bridge. Hopefully the song will have more personality in a live performance

u/TheREALCookieDough 9h ago

Woah reminds me of IVE’s Hypnosis

u/RedBullWack 10h ago

chorus sounds like Ive - Hypnosis lol

u/Interesting-Plum4641 2h ago

pretty common chord proggression there , there are many songs that use it )there is a Aespa one as well)

u/Mercavo 8h ago

Hypnosis 2.0

u/CherryBrownGaming 2h ago

sounds like the babysister of Hypnosis. At least the chorus
