I love the breakdance dance bridge, the bass line that gets brought in is super old schoolβ¦ this NCT 2020 project may be revealing that Xiajun is actually the best vocalist in NCTβ¦not sure. Starting off with the catchy whistling and funky hard-hitting bass from the beginning, it flows right into a classic Taeyong verse that kicks the song into high gear. 127 comes out with Superhuman and Highway to heaven, which sound softer like they could be U songs. The dance moves the NCT members were using have a cultural significance that Indian fans thought was being mocked or adopted for fun. And then there is Lucas who voice I barely know, but by face sure thing, even more now that he is the bad boy with the cigarettes which makes me chuckle. This is called Kabbah we pray facing our faces towards it. It is a powerful hip hop dance song.

The members here are all highly, highly talented. The overall editing was amazing.
