ATEEZ — UNCUT 5 SONG STUDY (38 min): 'BAD,' 'MAMACITA,' 'TOXIN,' 'Fallin',' & 'Body' | GOLDEN HOUR : Part.5

Love your Ateez reactions, so glad you watched this ep It's one of my favourites from Golden hour for sure.

I'm so behind on all my Patreon content but I see ATEEZ and I click.

Thought the same thing 😢😢😢

It’s Fallin’ for me. 🔥

Aaaawww thank you for this! Some ATEEZ, been a while since I watched a video since nothing was of my interest now THIS is something I couldn't miss! I loved your reaction to their more latin stuff, they have done this in the past, they always had that latin flavor with them. <3

As a fellow ADHDer, I suspected you might have it too. Happy to hear it confirmed 😂 The Golden Hour series is fun but for me nothing beats The World EP.1: Movement (and The World EP.2: Outlaw isn't far behind). In terms of storyline, sonically, lyrically, everything... I think Movement is worth a deep dive for sure. One of the few kpop albums I actually listen to in full rather than cherry picking a couple songs from.

Yaaay, I love that you’re listening to the whole album! It’s been on constant repeat for me since the 26th. It’s so exciting to see how many details you find, and it’s just kind of lovely to watch you listen to the songs and watch the bad mv (and that you noticed the reference to Bouncy :D ) Also: I think you noticed Wooyoung's voice a few times this time around. I thought he really shined this comeback. The “The way she's dancing looking red, hot señorita” part in ‘Bad’ was him, and in “Toxin,” the part you weren't sure about was also him. If you’re interested in the background behind the “Bad” music video and really every other from Ateez, I can HIGHLY recommend diving into ATEEZ’s lore a bit. It’s incredibly complex and my absolute favorite K-pop lore ever (hongjoong hinted that maybe some kind of book will be published about it. I hope it's true...) There are great YouTube videos, for example by TinyBugInk (https://www.youtube.com/@TinyBugInk), that would surely offer interesting content since it is explaining the story a bit—but you probably don’t have time for that with everything on your schedule. Still, just a little mention that it exists. :D Watching the music videos is twice as fun when you know the story behind them (or to theorize about the lore really.) Thanks for everything, and keep up the great work!

Thanks for this! The members have more range than you might expect - so assuming all the high or low notes are a certain member isn't always going to be right. I look forward to you getting to know them better so you can enjoy the variety with us! The recoil my body had at the mention of Steve! Not only does he use AI in his music he also leaked the song a month early! I fear for him if he ever runs into ATINY in a dark alley.

Nice catch with “K-hot chilli peppers”! 😁 I really wasn’t going to mention it because you didn’t get yet to BigBang and T.O.P, but you paused exactly at the right time 🙈 That moment with the wall slogan and the choreo you liked so much - Hongjoong’s dance here is kind of a playful wink to T.O.P’s “Studio 54” choreography. To add more to that, the lyrics say “VIP member” and VIP is actually what BigBang’s fans are called (T.O.P was BigBang’s lead rapper)! That song’s on the request list, hope you get to it at some point 🙏

The whole album is amazing, but Toxin got me down bad....pun intended. There is also a lot of double meaning in the Korean lyrics in Toxin, which is awesome. Wooyoung introduced this song in his Lee Mujin service episode before the album came out. I knew I was hooked them. His vocals really shine on this song in a way I don't feel like we always see.

“I think all the ones I’ve listened to are alive.” *cries in Shawol* Nope…you’re forgetting one…🥲

“It’s sexy time.” 😂😂😂

The second high note in Toxin is actually Wooyoung, and the chorus in Fallin' is Yeosang.

I’m so glad you reacted to this Tim! 🤍 Actually there is sooo much to unravel in the music video! The actress is Chase Infiniti (“One battle after another”), and she’s actually representing “Sopro” - the magical spirit from ATEEZ’s Golden Hour lore (the ruby stone from a previous album). You can see she already has 8 rings - one for each member, but not gonna stop there 😅 During the MV you can see the crowd is kinda divided between “she’s so bad” vs “free her.” And some people change their minds as a result of… a red flash in their eyes? 👀 Sus 😂 Seonghwa’s jacket even has some resemblance to a prosecutor’s robe (the red lapels)… but in the end everyone is completely obsessed and infatuated - and it fits the whole theme of the album so well. Oh and the moment you paid attention to San is actually the most viral move, it resembles a heartbeat, and Atiny speculate it’s because Sopro can synchronize the feelings. Sorry for the long rant but this album and Bad MV are so exciting 🙈

So proud of ATEEZ, they keep reaching new heights!
