For those who dont know, only the vocalists (Sio and Aran) sing this version, they are both fluent in English so it makes sense. Also the last album we got a sub unit of Keena and Aran, and next time were getting Keena and Saena, which they teased in their Cupid making series prologue, and at the end of this video.
@@Peaceminus911 didn't help that all the girls were in the Lovin Me MV either lol. I didn't realize til after Higher came out and checked out the lyrics.
I love how their voices sound so effortlessly melodious. Belting it out is fine but sometimes its nice to just get lost in the dulcet tones of beautiful voices.
I had this video open in one tab and a video of a Family Guy sketch of the Beatles open in a different tab, and I switched tabs and when I switched back to this one I thought I was still on the Family Guy sketch and the first comment I read was yours, and I just thought it made perfect sense.
Congratulations FIFTY FIFTY wins the Award for 'K-POP Song of the Year' for "Cupid (Twin Version)" at the I Heart Radio Music Awards 2024 on date April 02, 2024 Tuesday. 🏆
This is what english versions should be. Not too literal with translation and feels like natural. And I love that there wasn’t a rap part in this version.I really love this
@@shewholies2694 did you even understand the comment right? They're comparing how blackpink being the most popular group could never do the same how fifty fifty does so well
Come to think of it, it's not even an "English version" but truly a "twin" version since the lyrics aren't just a direct translation from Korean but depict a narrative different from the Korean version. Great job to Fifty Fifty and their producers!
Same! Especially when they say "been counting the days since November" that's literally when I had my last heart break and have been wondering when it'll be my turn for the right love lol
@@garukong.No, it is very hard for foreign acts to enter the BBHot 100 actually. You need a DECENTLY sized American audience to appeal your music towards, both IVE and Le Sserafim are lacking in that aspects, they are still new to the pool and none of their releases so far have been able to dominate as much into the American market.
So interesting that this version is not only in English, but also comes without the key change. I LOVE both, and I love how natural this sounds-both in terms of language used and in the girls' singing. Would love to hear more songs in both languages from them.
it feels re-composed for a us audience, like a version that would fit right on the radio. it helps a lot that the songwriting is cohesive and has, like, actual lines (some kpop english releases feel like nothing sometimes)
@@Neo-qt1lc honestly a lot of kpop demos are made by western producers/recorded in english, then reworked by korean producers with korean lyrics (not sure how much of the time, but i'd say it's fairly common with groups that don't regularly self-produce?). i wouldn't be surprised if the original demo for this song had these exact (or most of these) english lyrics to begin with!
Lots of the composers for many kpop songs are in english, these companies by those songs and get these people to sing it so most of the times its either translated from english to korean or if it is originally a korean song then it could be translated to korean to english.
@@sidewinder3422 wrong, SOME lyric actually writen in english BUT every idol company has korean intepreter and MOST OF THE TIME THEY DO CHANGE IT and make a literal copy of it to the producer to say if they agree, fifty five cupid has good balance because its original already has many english word in it. They dont live in english, since english is not a country, Many composer are from US and the company change the lyric to suit them better
@@Heevoice no no. I think you misunderstood him. I love k-pop. But this song not represent them. First time i heard this song i'm not think this is song from K-Pop. I knew this is a K-Pop song after 2 weeks i repeatedly play this song hahahahaha
@@alifyudhaprasetya bruh not all kpop sounds like blackpink. There's 100+ kpop in korea and 20% made generic music like this. Plus this group sounds like new jeans rip off😂
@Pencinta Suami Orang ahh sorry then I love Super Junior, SNSD, Blackpink, Twice, LeeHi, 2Ne1, Bigbang. Sorry kinda old fashion right. Yeahh i think your point valid. Sorry not listening all your kinda type of music. Im listening not only K-Pop. And i get it why 'he' thinks this English Version not like other K-Pop song. Bcs only Blackpink, Twice, and BTS has popularity. But, not your idol🙏 I hope all K-Popers dont like you. Just want superiority than other 👌
Honestly I thought this song was a western song. So surprised it's a Kpop song, super unique vocals and vibe, none of those high pitched tone or heavy drop that Kpop usually associating with. The vocalists did amazing, their clear pronunciation is so refreshing. This's definitely my favourite English version of a Kpop song, and probably my favourite song atm. I listened to it constantly almost 10 times now and I'm still smile whenever the song is playing, so catchy, dreamy and relaxing. It's 11 out of 10. Beautiful song!!!!
if one were to get to the bottom of it, its was always a western song with adapted korean lyrics. all 3 writers are western. so they're really just going back to the roots
@@user-jo9ef8mj6n other company they also do have foreign composer and lyricist,,,,,,,this fifty fifty group have potential thats y pronunciation is so perfect,,give credit to fifty fifty
Congratulations FIFTY FIFTY’s “Cupid (Twin Version)” was awarded K-Pop Song of the Year. 🏆 I Heart Awards 2024 from I Heart Radio on date April 02, 2024 Tuesday.
I can't believe this song is truly enjoyable and sweet. This song is kinda a reincarnation of SNSD. This is a modern song i've waiting for after SNSD retired after their journey for over a decade
This song debuted on Spotify global and Spotify US . Some big grps can't manage that even with promotions. So proud of the girls. Edit: And now they entered Billboard Hot 100 becoming the fastest kpop grp to do so. Also the only artist from non big-4. Congratulations 🎉🎉
I listen to this every hour every minute every second night after night, at the morning, in the afternoon, at the evening, on my way to work, in the bathroom, in my car, while I'm sleeping! Guys maybe i get crazy?
FIFTY FIFTY the most talented unique group I've known full of passion professionalism beauty inspiration and love stan FIFTY FIFTY trust me you won't regret you are always welcome in the fam!
Wow! The english version is so good. The translation is actually good and not cringey. And is it just me who think this song will also sound so good in japanese?
Simpleness is the key of this success. I'm from the south east asia and the media in my country is shocked by this group. No big company, no massive promotion, only music. This is sth people need after being tired of the media plays from Big 4 and Kakao. This is literally a slap for them. But from now on maybe someone will try to bring you down. I hope you stay strong, girls!
Im also from south east asia but idk if this is popular bot im pretty sure it is bc alot of ppl in my country r kpop stans and i just hope everybody will listen and love this song
Big4? Bts was from a small bankrupt company, it was always about the music and them producing and writing their own lyrics to tell their story and comfort others...why do you have prejudice? I get it for the other companies but hybe is much more authentic than these slave driving other companies
I swear the girl that sings from "I'm feeling lonely..." her voice is all over tiktoks and made me have to search this song. She has very special voice and the way she pronounces English is really unique, its so addictive. This group will get bigger for sure. This song is the best gg song this year for me
@@MrVainilla125 yeah, usually it's english demos bought by the company and reworked with korean lyrics which is why you see a lot of random english still sprinkled in; sometimes certain english words/phrases from the original lyrics work really well with the song and they don't change it which is cool
Probably the best KR > EN KPop song that I know of. The lyrics makes sense and they got rid of the rap parts (bold move) which they probably think will cater to international audience. I love it.
I'm not into kpop but this is... Good. I was on a roadtrip with my class, and we sang this in bus (all male btw) it was the best moment in my life, we go swin and get to a rollercoaster after that. I miss it 😢
1:01 I'm convinced that ARAN has a classical music background or has received a similar training before debuting. The way she pronounced this part is so gooooood. It's definitely my favorite part of the song.
yeah,please give a lot of support to our girls they deserve a lot of love from us if necessary share this music video to your relatives. keep streaming hunnies to go further🤩🤩
@@userskvur she's main vocal along with sio, I really don't understand why people keep saying she is lead vocal when you can CLEARLY hear those amazing vocals and notes, btw I'm a pre debut fan so...
Usually the English lyrics are just a placeholder to be replaced with Korean, but this one is lovely and well written, I am surprised to see a song like this coming from an unknown label
@dahyundubu I know it isn't 🤨 it's still like their second song right so it's like a debut. Either way I'm just saying that they're really good the fact that they debuted only 3 months ago
A hopeless romantic all my life Surrounded by couples all the time I guess I should take it as a sign (Ah, why? Ah why? Ah, why? Ah, why?) I'm feeling lonely (lonely) Oh, I wish I'd find a lover that could hold me (hold me) Now I'm crying in my room So skeptical of love (say what you say, but I want it more) But still I want it more, more, more I gave a second chance to Cupid But now I'm left here feeling stupid Oh, the way he makes me feel that love isn't real Cupid is so dumb I look for his arrows everyday I guess he got lost or flew away Waiting around is a waste (waste) Been counting the days since November Is loving as good as they say? Now I'm so lonely (lonely) Oh, I wish I'd find a lover that could hold me (hold me) Now I'm crying in my room So skeptical of love (say what you say, but I want it more) But still I want it more, more, more I gave a second chance to cupid But now I'm left here feeling stupid Oh, the way he makes me feel that love isn't real Cupid is so dumb (Cupid is so dumb) Hopeless girl is seeking someone who will share this feeling I'm a fool, a fool for love, a fool for love I gave a second chance to cupid But now I'm left here feeling stupid Oh, the way he makes me feel that love isn't real Cupid is so dumb I gave a second chance to cupid But now I'm left here feeling stupid Oh, the way he makes me feel that love isn't real Cupid is so dumb
Aran has a unique voice color, I've never heard a Kpop Idol voice like Aran before, her voice is very enjoyable. And Sio is also very beautiful and talented. Their pronunciation is also very clear and manages to blend well. This song deserves to win an award and be recognized by the public.
I hope FIFTY FIFTY helps people understand that there is good music outside of the popular groups and we need to support them more. The difference is that the artists of big companies, whether you support them or not, will continue to be well paid and rich, but this type of groups of small and medium-sized companies, each type of support, no matter how small, means a lot to them.
At first I didn’t realise that it was in english because it sounded so naturally. They have a very good pronunciation that it made me surprised to know that this version was fully in english ! 💕😭
Actually im not a K-Pop fan. Far from that. I listen various alternative rock and british music, but all I wanna say, that this music, vocals, and production seriously need much credit and attention. I repeat this song day by day. Never get bored. Fifty fifty, you're the real definition of talent.
yeah,please give a lot of support to our girls they deserve a lot of love from us if necessary share this music video to your relatives. keep streaming hunnies to go further🤩🤩
