Review 

ICHILLIN' has been known to explore various musical styles, with their releases showcasing a range of influences. The group's dynamic instrumental choices and energy, while also noting challenges related to melody and stylistic consistency, are also evident in this comeback but the song lacks the punch factor that could make it stand out in an already oversaturated niche. Unfortunately there are many other girl-groups that can do the came concept better. The song is just too low-energy to spark much excitement and although the music video is bright and quirky it doesn't feel fresh.
