Composition

The single has a retro sound reminiscent of Japanese anime soundtracks.[1] Kwak Yeon-soo of The Korea Times described it as a "whimsical dance song with a lyrical melody and dynamic tempo" which "offers introspective lyrics and honest storytelling".[2] Tamar Harman of Billboard described it as "a song that is sprinkled with retro-inspired digital quirks, fluttering synths, and layered harmonies as the members of GFriend sing their way between dynamic tempo and tonal shifts".[3]

Chart performance

The song debuted at number 9 on the Gaon Digital Chart, on the chart issue dated April 29-May 5, 2018, with 28,606,419 points[4] and later peaked at number 2 in its third week with 41,006,851 points[5] It also debuted at number 6 on Billboard Korea's Kpop Hot 100 and peaked at number 3 in its third week.[6][7]

Music video

A music video for the song was released on April 30, 2018. The song's music video shifts the group away from the uniform-inspired, synchronized looks of their previous conceptual eras, and instead individualizes each of the six members.[3]

The music video was directed by Eddie Yoo-jeong Ko of Lumpens.[10]

Live performances

The group held their first comeback stage on Mnet's M Countdown on May 3, 2018 and ended their promotions on SBS's Inkigayo on May 20.
