Hands Up does open with much promise. Its most beautiful instrumental riff hits us right at the start, but the song improves from here… at least for a while.
Overall, I’m a fan of the insistent beat. It’s nice to hear a new track with such a steady pulse, and that energy drags Hands Up‘s less-than-thrilling composition over the line.
Much of its melody, structure and even performance feels like reheated BLACKPINK, which is to be expected given its composers.
This makes Hands Up feel quite extraneous, but that’s not automatically a reason to dismiss it.

Refrain: Ella, Gawon, Anna]
I'm heading this way we gotta
See above okay
We back on track
Already the hundredth time I dead it
Like the hot sun lit it
Samadhi, we burn again
[Verse 1: Narin, Sooin]
Look above you, you can't deny
Nothing blocking me, don't ask no more
Do what you please, there's no holding back
Don't cross the li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-li-line
[Pre-Chorus: Ella, Anna, Gawon]
One, two, three, set it off
Try and catch up, beyond the horizon
Soar high like a dragon
It's our magic purr
Try doing this and that, but you
'Bout it, 'bout that, no, you not
So what we gonna do?
I see you, look at me now
[Chorus: Narin, Ella, Sooin, Gawon]
Hands up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Break the sky, let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up, what you wanna do?
Hands up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Break the sky, let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up, what you wanna do?
[Refrain: Anna, Gawon, Ella]
I'm heading this way we gotta
See above okay
We back on track
Already the hundredth time I dead it
Like the hot sun lit it
Samadhi, we burn again
[Verse 2: Narin, Gawon, Ella]
Provocation ain't nothing new to me
Try swinging your rusty sword
All about jealous admiration
Self-affirmation, yet still unsure
Your eyes will open wide
Me and my girls you dealin' with
So beautifully killin' cruelly willin'
Hands up, who the real villain?
[Pre-Chorus: Sooin, Anna, Narin]
The fire in me, I won't let it die
Won't let it go out, I will survive
Even if you try doing this and that
'Bout it, 'bout that, no, you not
So what we gonna do?
I see you, look at me now
[Chorus: Ella, Anna, Gawon]
Hands up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Break the sky, let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up, what you wanna do?
Hands up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Break the sky, let the water fall
Hands up high, even with no answers
Throw it up, what you wanna do?
[Bridge: Gawon, Sooin, Narin]
Burn all that fiery heart
Because I'm going to bloom anyway
Now let's go back, up and down
Turn everything upside down
Let that drum go, rum-pu-pu-pum
[Outro: Narin, Anna]
Hands up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Crack the sky open, put your hands up
Break the sky open, put your hands up
