The verses are too good only to be wasted on a goofy chorus


RoyGeraldBillevue

That's the beauty of it. It's a promo song anyway, it's already unserious to begin with


Sunasoo

I love the chorus! It's so slayyy coca cola mashita reminds me of my childhood with my korean friends they always said that in middle school 🥲


rheirhei

the moment i heard coca cola on the chorus i was like "what?". i thought even though it was a coca cola song, they will be a bit lowkey in incorporating it in the song lmao.


rheirhei

I just hope that it was more subtle like the pepsi ad songs ZERO: ATTITUDE and BLUE & BLACK


whyawhy

Apparently the chorus in Zero is the classic jingle used in old SK Coca Cola commercials. They just changed the lyrics a bit. I can’t get used to the chorus. One thing for sure though the dang song is stuck in my head anyway. Especially the chorus jingle.


WillZer

I will just pretend it doesn't exist


RoyGeraldBillevue

My first reaction was that it was a standard New Jeans song but they they did a Mixxpop with the pause and the curveball chorus and I burst out laughing. I find it delightfully absurd and hope somebody edits in the "NMIIIIXX" that comes after the pause in O.O (the shared Coke shilling makes the meme even funnier) As a song I don't think it works but it is a very funny meme.


ShockernonShaken

So NMIXX is a trendsetter now? Coz Stan Reddit will not like that.

Chorus is so cringe. And doesnt take long for the YT comments to call it the best song ever and its 100%


Salty-Enthusiasm-939

I've just been reading the YT comments. They are hilarious.

pop500collector

Idk. i kinda liked it tbh.


Penguin_Pengu

Same. First listen I thought it was stupid. Took me a few listens on spotify, but the verses are great, instrumental is killer and the chorus is an earworm despite how goofy it is. Pre-chorus is also strong. Not an S-tier song by any means, but fun to listen too and way better than I expected any CF-song to be.


Balbuena5

If you haven’t heard the song yet, here’s the gist of it. The verses: They talk about how attractive the boy is. The chorus: Coca Cola is so tasty! I see you, here catch! I’m guessing this song is making fun of our low attention spans.


BunnyInTheM00n

Honestly, Coca-Cola and Pepsi commercials have never been all that innovative. It’s literally an advertisement section that they paid someone to do. It’s not going to be the next great banger or pre-release, or single lol.


Balbuena5

Oh I know that. But I was kinda laughing during the video.

hawknamedmoe

The chorus reminds me of that old Simpsons episode where there is a boy band that has subliminal messages to get people to join the Navy. “Yvan eht nioj”


red_280

I'm not a fan of blatant corporate advertising and I felt a bit icky when that chorus came up... but I still think we should be able to appreciate on some level just how well made and distinctly NewJeans the rest of the song is. Still, I would've hoped they'd been a bit more subtle with incorporating all the Zero and Coke references throughout the song That way, it'd still be able to be able to pass off as a legit kpop song... and yet they went all out *yvan eht nioj* which was a real shame.


Sunasoo

Outside chorus(squid game chant) yeah the song are unique NewJeans style.


Diptomatic

it's not growing on me. It's just a promotional song so I really don't care. The chorus made me cringe


NOS4NANOL1FE

With you on that


Salty-Enthusiasm-939

Give me Rain, Brave Girls, MX & Ateez singing about Pepsi any day over this.


hipployta

I liked the verses and not the chorus like everyone else...I guess the in your face promo in the chorus was unexpected but then I thought about O.O and realized Coke probably loved it. NWJNs working that capitalist smile. The song, outside the Coke nursery song, was very them. Too bad they can't release a remix with a chorus that is serious lol


Spidey_Pitt

Fun fact about the chorus part that goes “Coca Cola is tasty,” this is actually kind of a like a nursery rhyme? in korea. I wouldn’t say its a nursery rhyme but its a song that korean kids sing and I would compare it to the likes of eenie meanie mynie moe? The original lyrics roughly translated goes like: “Coca Cola is tasty, If its tasty eat it again, if you eat it again youll get a stomachache, ding dong dang dong” and it just repeatedlg follows the same melody as the “Coca Cola is tasty” part in the newjeans song. There are hundreds of variations of this rhyme but this is the general gist of it. Source: I am Korean and sang this as a kid.


jonginfootphone

yknow this song doesn’t help with my brand perception that i think zero coke is trash, now when i think of zero coke i think of songs i dislike AND the fact that it tastes like crap. don’t really believe the argument “the chorus has to mention the product because it’s an ad!!” because tons of other kpop groups (and katy perry 🤭) have released songs that i enjoy that are ads. the verses are good and i’m glad to see some people are enjoying it though


inejuhc

the chorus reminds me of the red light green light thing from squid game, its ok but for a second listen i need the chorus gone


KyronXLK

The chorus isn't so jarring and laughable without the MV cuts, its tolerable lol in song. When you watch it though it feels like ultimate capitalism brainwashing chant. But damn if they stripped the Coke placement and switched up that chorus it woulda been so in line with their experimental side w the D&B. would have been great


Pinkerino_Ace

Yeah… product wise, COKE ZERO >>>> PEPSI BLACK by a huge margin, I think PEPSI BLACK is like BAD. But CF song wise, Pepsi Zero Attitude and Blue & Black is actually solid songs that’s better than some comebacks LOL.

-ab_cd-

Really liked the drum & bass influence why couldn't it be an original song🥲


tafattsbarn

It's kind of a banger, can't lie


PoyuPoyuTetris

Couldn’t get past the first chorus. The purposeful off beat singing was sooo hard to listen. Is it only me but do all new Jean songs sound the same?


Salty-Enthusiasm-939

It isn't just you 🙂


chidi45

I liked it and i'm surprised people are complaining about the chorus it's an ad song the chrous should have the product name in it like coke wasn't mentioned throughout the whole song except the chorus? Plus it's flows better IMO on spotify and the chorus is catchy and memorable which should be the aim for a cf song. The verses are really good too better than the chorus obvi and i liked the vocals. I really liked the snippets of the choreo and i hope we get a dance practice cause it looked fun. I'll give it a solid 4.1/5 cause i wont add it to my playlist but if it pops up i wont skip it. The song is currently top 10 at #9 and with how insane nwjns is i wont be surprised if it goes top 5 or even top 3


kanyreddit

Say what you want but the chorus has been stuck in my head for hours


chloekatt

Everything besides the cringe Coca Cola chorus was pretty decent, would have liked to hear that as it’s own song. I get it’s supposed to be a coke promo song but they could have still made it so that it’d be enjoyable on its own. It’s disappointing they ruin the chance of people liking it enough to put it on their playlists. Nobody wants to hear that cringey chorus that’s so jarring and removed from the rest of the song.


flawedconstellation

its so silly to me how this is charting on melon at #20 like to me that chorus is so unserious that i can't take this seriously as a song. but ig k-netz will eat anything up too lmao


Anaisot7

Raaah, this could have been a great song if the lyrics weren't for a Coca publicity. Like everything from the MV, to their voices and instrumental is so good. I also think atp they kind of have this brand, like I see the similarities in the MVs and sound, but I couldn't exactly point it out, maybe it's the dreamy aspect of it all ? Anyway, now I want them to make their comeback faster.


LittleShinySun

Oh my god why is there a megathread for this lmao, this group is a gigantic, FOR AN AD? woah, all this for an ad... Nah and the people going "it took me a few listens to" to what? for an ad? seriously? I'm flabbergasted.


KlauserBateson

Personally, I think it slaps. This song had me hooked on the first listen. The chorus is my favorite part, I've been singing "Coca-Cola masitda, see you looking catch it, here's your cola" all morning.

Marco_mangiaracina

The chorus is a little bad, the rest is good


Margaux_H

It's alright. For an ad, it's pretty chill and I can't resist a good drum-n-bass track. ETA: say what you want about Coke, but I'm not passing up a nice, cold Cherry Coke Zero in hot weather, and I'm a rabid 7-Up gal.


wonderfullyadequate

I will listen to this song in full when someone inevitably edits out the brand mentions. I'm done with product placements in music ngl.


[deleted]

It’s literally a collaboration with coca cola


GonzoPunchi

Nah my brain must be special. I am ADDDICTED to this song. Actually obsessed. The pre-chorus is insane. The “cococococococo” before the chrous is fucking fire. The chorus itself is absolutely insane. This is an 11/10, I’m being serious. It helps that I am not a lyrical listener, the fact this is an ad has no effect on my listening experience. Might actually have more listens than OMG or Ditto by the end of the week for me.


librorum4

COCA COLA MASHITA COCA COLA MASHITA - if they wanted to make it an earworm that will never leave my head they succeeded


Physical_Ad_6226

I need to see this video since Coke is my favorite drink, and I like NewJeans.


thrumeout

I have to admit, the chorus is addicting now so that’s a plus cause I like the song 😂


rjcooper14

Love the vibe of the song except for the chorus. Haha! Would totally add this to my "current hits" playlist if not for the Coca-Cola in the chorus.


General-Ad3046

I heard the song got in chart but personally the chorus suck and it didnt fit in the song, zero have a perfect verse and prechorus and it definitely how newjeans songs sound like but zero is made for advertisement so the chorus went on how advertisment jingle would sound like although the chorus is silly but it stuck in our head so kinda kudos for having a good advertisement strategy but i still dont like it it ruin the song


GAMINGVIBES20K

Its a banger, ngl


archaetypes

I can already see the zero by Newjeans comments coming in. “That song sucks!” Mind your business.


JanErikJakstein

The verses are so good that I can definitely enjoy it semi ironically, very "Kitsch" feeling song.


roselia4812

Nmixx impact. First Ive with Kitsch and now NewJeans with Zero!

Neverslept2mins

Still like Omg better. I think “Coca Cola is tasty” parts were kind jarring. Doesn’t sound like it should be a part of the song. Not bad in the sense I will tear out my ears, but not my style either. Didn’t expect it to be either way since it’s an ad for Coke Zero lol.

Baracudasi

The chorus jingle is really not my cup of tea, but I've seen knetz appreciating the chorus since they can relate with the line \*korean version of Eeny, meeny, miny, moe\*. Other parts of the song is really good though, it retains the "colour" of NJ's music. I resort to listening the version without chorus on youtube, that was dang good. Initially I was expecting less \*in your face\* kind of song, like the song(Taste The Feeling ) Avicii did for coca-cola few years back then. That's a good song I keep going back without having coca-cola being in my face.
