The visuals are a wonderful concoction of neon colours, lights and kinetic elements – with some of the settings and outfits reminding of BIGBANG’s ‘BAE BAE’ and GD X TAEYANG ‘GOOD BOY’.

Worth mentioning Jaehyun’s rap part – and visuals – that unexpectedly pops hard in the song and the bridge that is represented in the music video with black and white cinematography of Jaehyun and Jungwoo under the rain – it pulls listeners and viewers out of the NEO SEOUL world before Haechan demands them to come back for the grand finale.
The song is an actual NEO song. The lyrics and the sound exude all NCT 127 confidence as they are ready to race towards their next big achievements in their career.
