I feel like I’m one of few people who actually liked the song at first💀 edit : holy fuck 1k likes damn 🥺 glad to know people have taste!!! stan itzy for a better future!

i didn’t like the song on the first listen but no lie i’m totally obsessed with it now

There was A LOT of mixed reactions to this. People either really love it or really hate it. Unfortunately I saw a lot of people hate it. When I first listened to it, I didn't like it and I found it really messy but after a couple listens, I actually really like it. It's easily one of my favorite songs of the year so far.

This song is not like the one you would like in the frist listen but the more you hear it the more you love it.

The first time I heard it I wasn't really a fan of it, but I loved the video. Then I ended up having the song stuck in my head and I gradually became a fan of the song lol. Now I can't stop listening to it and watching the live stages.

i personally fucking loved this song

"Girl crush" and "self-love" concepts are the zeitgeist of Gen Z so this is a perrrfect debut song

i liked it at first but after a few more listens i was loving it and now im obessed.

This song is very hit or miss. at first listen i LOVED it but it takes a couple of listens for alot of people. for me, it hit. it SLAPPED. but for a considerable amount of people it missed. it's very half and half but they were successful either way

I love how everyone has been using the word “different” that’s what ITZY wants they want to be different and show their own colors and their own vibe ITZ different

Your face is a little too dark in this lighting!

I think this debut is a rather different girl crush concept. From the maknae's lyrics being "I don't want to be mature" I feel like they're actually going for a more playful branch of the concept rather than the get-out-of-my-face type of thing, maybe more like a youth-rebellion kinda thing, hence why it's different and it feels quite fast paced and kind of messy.

I really like ITZY. Already off the bat, they have an identity and they feel unique. The only group I would say is similar is CLC. However their music videos are nothing alike. DALLA DALLA has a really top quality MV. Also loved the fact that the song is not like traditional bubblegum pop and yet I still found myself having it stuck in my head. The other track in this mini EP "WANT IT?" is also super interesting, it doesn't depart from the main track in identity but it is even less of a pop song and has a really cool and original vibe, I'm kinda shocked that a girl group did this song, I could totally see it in a male group instead. But they made it work. Can't wait for more from them, as a fellow TWICE fan I am here for ITZY as well now. Already knew Shin Ryujin from MIXNINE as well as from the BTS' Highlight Reels (and Yuna, the youngest member, was also in the BTS Highlight Reels) There's definitely a lot of eyes on them, I'm sure they will meet nothing but success. Really hope to see them back again at the very least by July

Dalla dalla was before it’s time like no joke. I can’t get this stuff out of my head now and if someone released this a few months ago it would have been super successful

There has actually been a lot of hate for the song. People saying it's messy and all over the place. But I personally really like it and I think it flows well enough.

Yess, you reacted to this song 👐

I really liked the debut I think the "messy" nature of the song is actually a great way to interpret the concept of dalla dalla, by changing the song many times it really embodies the feeling they're aiming for, being different and owning it. It's refreshing in my opinion

It really was a love or hate debut. I'm not sold on them yet personally, but I'm excited to see future comebacks! I have a feeling I'll grow to love them a lot

The beat actually reminds me of twice signal but it's more heavier,electronic,compressed than typical twice style and the main melody motif also really twice influenced but again they put their owns twist which not too cutesy nor not to developed either but they still maintaining the youthful vibe in it. The song is a lil bit messy but they purposely made it like that,it's a marketing strategy. They set you up with this certain groove but then dissonance it and throws another type of groove which makes your brain confused. So the more you listen the more your brain can easily adapt to the actual what's the song structure is all about. Overall I will say it's a solid debut and this group is pretty promising.

The chorus to me really was the saving grace of the song, just because it's the only part that really stuck with me and makes me want to dance.

The backbeat in this song is really steady (I use metronome to verify). The sections are divided well (in terms of count of 8). I am not wowed by the English rapping on top of Kia and the melodic bridge before the English rapping. But the various modes of verse and chorus are dance worth and full of attitude. Girls are charismatic and physically fit the sporty chic/GC concept. They are pretty and cute but not in a generic way. I think JYPE did a great job to regroup Itzy after Somi’s departure. Yuna may not be an original member but I have to say that she stole the show on stage with her confidence and winning smile.

Please Hwasa "TWIT" next

Nice catch @ 6:11 on how you mentioned the parallels between the title "Dalla Dalla" (meaning 'It's different' in korean) and the music video with all the changing colours. I agree it's a very colourful mv and it's also quite neat given the message in the lyrics which has a theme that says that it's okay to be different no matter how you look and how other people view you. So it seems the colours are somewhat of a metaphor of being different. Overall quite pleased with the overlapping symmetry in the title, video and lyrics here. Regarding the point on JYP only making this album come with only one b-side along with the title track, I'm also kind of disappointed as well. As a fan I would want to get more musical content from the group (I mean who wouldn't?). But I think when you look at the context of the industry especially with girl groups it makes sense. As someone mentioned elsewhere the 'smaller size' of this album could be a sign that we may be getting a comeback sooner than we expected. And as a rookie group I believe it's important for the company to continue pumping out releases at least for their first year so that they become more established and more popular with the general public and shy away from vanishing into obscurity. It's especially important given that 2018 gave us a lot of good girl group rookie debuts and a lot of them will start to make their comebacks soon in 2019 creating a rather saturated market. From a consumer standpoint I don't think anyone would be pleased by the lack of discography but from a business standpoint it works well and it makes money. With that I'm also really excited for what else JYP has to bring this. Only thing that needs to happen is for the lack of discography to actually translate to more releases 🤞

I was so so sooo nervous waiting for this video! thank u❤️ you are the best

I personally fell in love with this by the first listen. idk if anyone felt the same way 🤷

Been waiting for your reaction. So happy it's here

Omg I was waiting for ur reaction to Itzy for so long 😻 I’m super happy💞😭

Video starts at 4:00

IT LIMITED THEIR POTENTIALS THO like the song and the dance could be so much more... How can they be more attractive pre-debut LOL (Not that the song is bad just it's "too easy" for what they could have done)

Ohmaygad your review is so exactly the review I've been looking for

this is such a grower on my first listen of course it has bits JYP but now its a bop hella good song

Dreamcatcher next pls and thank you!

To me this song is kinda a mix of SNSD 'I got a boy' and 2NE1 'I am the best.' It has an old school kpop vibe to it and I really love it for that.

your new set looks SICK! love it.

i was waiting for this! thank you!

Please react to Hwasa's TWIT MV!

When you want to know about the song more it's actually has light energy to it. Well, it's jyp's songs you need to listen couple of times to like it. Except stray kids because they almost produce their music themselves

Nice vid. I saw the mv once but your commentary has made me appreciate their concept a bit more than I was initially feeling.

Been waiting for your reactions...honest and unbiased as always👏👏

This song is literally so WEIRD Like at first I hated it and I was like these girls deserve better than this piece of shit song and then I found myself listening to it a couple other times and now I'm obsessed with it aswell as their other song Want It. I don't even understand how I went from hating a song so much to loving it so much. Craziest thing lmao. Itzy really are different

I cant believe you were talking when yejis “my life” part goddamit

BEEN WAITING FOR THIS REACTION FOR SO LONG

Been waiting for this for a while! (: Glad you uploaded this!

Even i didn't like the song at first but I was impressed by the video production, because that's not something jyp would do. Its new and unique. Then gradually i started to love the song. I mean their message is good too!

chaeryeong from itzy is izone chaeyeons sister

Been waiting for this !! Xoxo

I WAS WAITING FOR YOUR REACTION AND FINALLY WEW!!

this song reminded me of 2010-2011 kpop, but not in a good way lol. the chanting and talk-singing with heavy electronic sounds reminded me of old f(x) and 2ne1. which was the trend 10 years ago, but...

Love the song and the review! ( PD why is it so dark? we can't see you well... )

i love this song so much omg it gets better every time i listen to it!

Yeesssss! I was waiting for this!

Dont let other influence you what to think most people are saying the most generic bandwagon comments. Negative comment is always louder. Really love that they actual have a strong vocal chorus instead of it being empty or just a beat drop. jyp said their music is fusion groove but this song was a mix of edm, hiphop, and house. This was a debut anthem not debut song.

I swear I can only tolerate PD and Jre’s reactions to kpop idk everyone else is just the same...

Thanks for promoting and mentioning knk. Huhuhu give love to the boys and their music!! Thanks

Frickin’ love this dude! 💪🧡

is it just me or does anyone else get roller coaster vibes from this?

Ive listened to their songs a few times, I want to like it but I just cant get myself to

I'VE. BEEN. WAITING. FOR. THIS!!!!

Awwwe I really love you PD for always having the eye that sees beyond what's obvious.

In my opinion, the girls are talented and I'm rooting for them. However, I don't think the song was a great choice for the group's debut. I've listened to it many times, and it still hasn't grown on me. I look forward to more stuff from this group though.

I like the chorus, it grew on me and became really catchy.. idk about the rest of the song though and I dislike the other track on their 'EP' whatever it is but they are clearly talented af and the music video is great so I'm excited to see what their first comeback will be like

been waiting for this omg

Been waiting for this reaction.

Not crazy about the song but agree they are nailing their girl crush concept and their MV is very different from other JYP artists.

If the frickin bongo drum sounds aren't there, I would love this song and their debut. For now, I remain on the fence

I just heard this song somewhere and i was already obsessed with it and tried to watch the MV, yeah this new gg will go big.

I personally loved it from first listen, but really wanted to see your breakdown!

I love the girls just not the song 😂💕 Next react to Dreamcatcher- PIRI ! I know you will tho lol

Please react to dreamcatcher’s piri! Thank youuu :D

This song is so good! At first I and most ppl didnt like it, but the chorus sticks with me. Then I listened again and fell in love with the song. 💜STAN ITZY💖

I absolutely love Itzy so far! As soon as I watched the video and listened I was hooked and I’ve been listening on and off all day, and I’m normally pretty picky with groups I like

like their concept but not the song so much. I'll keep an eye on them tho. Ryujin and Yuna acted in Bangtan's highlight reels and Ryujin danced there too which was cool

Reaction to dreamcatcher piri or listening party live for their album

I have been waiting on your opinion for thiss tysm

Man, I'm waiting for ur reaction. This song is so powerful and interesting so I was looking forward to hear your opinions on it. And you never let me down👍👍

JYP groups Stray kids, twice, day6... do you remember Got7???

I understand people who were dissatisfied or disappointed with the song. I'm one of them. No matter how hard I tried the song I did not like unfortunately...I looked at their performance and I think the dance does not fit the song. This is just my vision. I'm not hooked on anything, there's so much mixed up in it that it stops me from listening to it. And this song doesn't remind me of the Old sound Of K-Pop songs either. On the contrary, it is a completely new sound. And I think it would be better used this song for their first comeback, not debut. In General, not my style of music. But despite all the opinions many people liked this song, so good luck to the girls.

I love this song like when you keep listening it gets better every time you listen

I like your reviews ! Keep it up bro !

I've listened to this song a few times since its release but I still hate the "rap" parts and the "keep your head up just keep on dreaming" just is not it for me. I'm still going to check them out when they release more songs but this one...oof it's just..I don't know. The beginning was so cool and then it went downhill and then a bit downhill and then up and by the end I was so confused.

I like the message of the song. The song itself is OK, but I think the video is just kind of silly? And if anything it detracts from the message...

I'd been waiting for this uhuuuul

FINALLY!! I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR SO LONG HAHAHAHA

I don't really know why, but the only girlgroup form JYP that I ever really managed to like was Wonder Girls. I've tried listening to this song a bunch of times already, but it just can't click with me. I really hope they find success tho and probably their future comebacks will have a more appealing sound (at least for me)

PD, Hwasa has a new song called Twit.

ur set is so aesthetic woahhhh

i love it!!!! I've noticed so much more about the musicality of kpop since I've watched reacttothek. they share what's expected of a song, theory wise, and how kpop is always changing things up. probably why I've learnt to appreciate "messy" songs like that. dalla dalla didn't even sound weird to me! LOVED it

It’s not a song that I would ever listen to on my own time sadly. It’s just so loud and messy. And the high pitched voices dont help with that. I’ll wait for a comeback because I don’t like both the songs they’ve released so far. They have a lot of potential tho

This song is messy. I get the concept they were going for, and it’s really cool, but the song wasn’t really pulled off as well as the music video was for me. There are ways to be musically different without being messy in terms of the styles and genres being pulled together. Idk I like the members a lot and I’ll be looking out for more music but this didn’t do it for me as such a highly anticipated debut.

Waiting this 4 a long time!

honestly when i first watched the mv, i did not much like it but whenever i play their song i became hooked and i never get tired of listening to it. its a song where in when u first hear it u dont like it but as the time goes by it gets better and better

I just don't like how some members shot showing cute expressions or gesture in a girl crush concept. It just made the shot kind of out separated from their original concept. Idk, maybe because they're still rookie, so expressions & gestures r always an issue. But if it's the video producer choice to make it that way, i'm totally disagree.

Finally xdxd

Homie, I've been waiting for this! This song is fire, it grows on you. PD looks like he is about to tell a scary story.

I love the song, and I loved it since the first time I listened to it! I am really looking forward to more stuff from ITZY!!

React to clc no oml I've been waiting forever jwfjjesjcn

I liked the Song in the Beginning but it got repetetive and kind of boring 2min into it.

i listen to this song multiple times a day, ngl. it never gets old

Yeah same with many of you, i wasn't a fan of it when i first listened to it. But now im obsessed with it💚
