About the flips from modal/chest voice to falsetto, I love how it mimics the sound of a "bleep", especially in Han's verse. It's not uncommon for them to add techniques that not only sound cool, but also match the wider concept of the song like that. Also, I've always assumed the "sweet fudge" line is a nod to the euphemistic way to say "sweet f*** all" – again on theme with censorship, but also Chan in particular loves to find creative ways to swear in their music, aussie boy that he is 😄
Modal voice WAS Stray Kids (it may have also been others too; I assume it's a korean/translation thing)
There's something very validating about the fact that YOU can't resist doing the tongue click at the end either 😂 I think in addition to this song being about bleeping out the haters, it also has a lot of meaning wrapped up in the idea that people can be anonymous online and do terrible things without facing immediate consequences. I think that is the main reason for the line "I'll find you and kill you like the movie taken", implying that people are hiding because they think they're safe from retaliation but they can still be found. If I remember right, around this time, at least Chan and Felix were dealing with a lawsuit where people were deepfaking them to do obscene or hateful things (they won the lawsuit I believe). I ALSO thought the 'fudge' line was weird and then I realized that all the words they use there are like, euphemisms for "fuck". "firetruck" being the joke "what starts with f and ends with uck" and then "fudge" like a G rated replacement.
The "noise cancellation" part is a refernce to people who like to call their music "noise music"
3Racha+ VERSACHOI is like the absolut classic skz combination!!! Versachoi is a producer that has been working with them pretty much from the beginning and he did something like 60 songs with them at this point😆 Megaverse, Gods Menu for example only have him +3Racha in the credits! As a Stay when we see that combination in the credits we imideatly get excited bc we just know its going to be a banger😂😂
You should check out the kingdom bts, it has some scenes wher Chan and VERSACHOI do some remixes together
Im obsessed with the fact that Megaverse still lives rentfree on your mind😂😂
I would love a deep study😍 You should definatly do Sclass and Lalala for that!!!
I think the votes are not fully correct. Im pretty sure the Karma and Do it recording scenes where in March😅 But its not a big deal 😊
