The Chase is well-executed and I hear some nice vocals in its mix. But as a full debut package, it offers very little.
Melodically, it feels like a nice b-side, pulling its punches with a ton of lazy sing-talk rather than full-fledged hooks.
verses are resuscitated by beautiful harmonies, making me curious how SM will harness the girls’ talents in the future.
SONG AVAILABLE HERE
For now, the mood board seems hazy and unsure. I was really hoping I wouldn’t have to say this, but The Chase is easily SM’s most underwhelming debut song in decades (maybe ever!).
Hearts2Hearts The Chase lyrics
[Verse 1: Yuha, Carmen]
A dream is dreaming
Beamy, beamy, that light is
And follow it like you're hypnotized
Curiouser and curiouser
Drink this and you'll see
Only you, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Jiwoo, Stella, Ye-on]
Swim through the colors of blue ink
That squeaking, creaking chalky, chalky
Chalk will neatly
Transcribe our story
I'll make you say my name
How can you not
I love the way, you love the chase
[Chorus: Juun, Ian]
Hop, my adventure
I'm taking the first step
It's all a mystery
I wanna know more about it
Crop, I let my heart
Cut a piece of the fantasy
Sparkle, sparkle
I think I just saw something
[Post-Chorus: A-na, Ian]
Hop, my adventure (Ah)
The first step (Ah)
Sparkle, sparkle (Ah)
Mystery, I wanna know more about it
[Verse 2: Stella, Yuha, Carmen]
Meanwhile, did I grow?
Can't explain it
But I sprint as hard as I can
I don't wanna stop standing still
This big emotion, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Ian, Ye-on, Stella]
Floating quiz, between those crack
Reach out and grab it
Jingle, jingle, the key clinks
Begging me to open the door
I'll make you say my name
More powerful than spells
I love the way, you love the chase
[Chorus: Jiwoo, A-na]
Hop, my adventure
I'm taking the first step
It's all a mystery
I wanna know more about it
Crop, I let my heart
Cut a piece of the fantasy
Sparkle, sparkle
I think I just saw something
[Bridge: Stella, Ye-on, Yuha]
Baby, we got what you need
Our love is so sweet
It pops like candy, yeah
My eyes gently closed by the sunlight
Run wherever my heart wants
I take my own world
[Post-Bridge: Jiwoo & Juun, Carmen]
Come and get ya, come and get ya, come and get ya, yeah (Yeah)
It's forever, it's forever, It's forever, yeah (Yeah)
'Til the end, you and I, falling into a fantasy, right
A dream is beginning to dream, yeah (Ah-ooh)
[Chorus: Ian, A-na, Jiwoo, Carmen]
My adventure (Ooh)
This is the first step (Ooh)
Wherever my heart wants
There I wanna go (Oh, no, woah, woah)
The dream has already begun
[Post-Chorus: All, Ye-on, Yuha, Ian]
Hop, my adventure (In colors of blue ink; Ah)
The first step (Floating quiz, between those crack; Ah)
Wherever my heart wants (Ah)
I love the way, you love the chase
