Hello everyone~ Since I don't know what to do right now XD I decided to share a personal ranking of APink's title tracks so far. APink is my UB group for girl groups (Infinite for boy groups), and I really do like all of their title tracks so far; it tickles my fancy and I also like their level of cutesy-ness in their concepts before (that are becoming more innocent-mature to me lately, with LUV and Only One especially, and I think that's a good thing). So... if I had to make a ranking of the title tracks, it would be like this:
8. REMEMBER - July 2015
Even if this was the track I ranked last, I still really like this song, I just really had to rank them. XD Remember to me is a very fresh song, and somehow, and I view this as a fresh/innocent concept rather than cutesy actually... I think their vocals were more defined? Or were "upgraded". Line distribution was also really good and even. Chorus to me is catchy even if the key change in the middle of that seemed to be a bit weird, but I dig it. Song is energizing and something I might want to play when just chilling and having some fun-- The reason why I probably ranked this last is because its impact wasn't as much as the rest of the tracks, musically. It's a nice song though it could have been elevated more, or somehow I expected the song to get to a higher level towards the end besides the key change.The visuals in the MV though. Like I had so much feels when I waited for the MV to come out and watched it at 11 pm. DEM visuals.
7. Mr. Chu - March 2014
I mean, I thought I would rank this higher, well I had a hard time ranking from number 7 to number 4. But besides, this is a song that furthermore solidified APink's status in the KPop world, after Nonono that is. Song would just really make me happy, and they pulled off the cute concept here really well :D Also like that part before the chorus comes where they spin, and the catchiness of this song is pretty high as well that I could sing along and say "Chu" along. The build up from the verses to the chorus was particularly good, and I think this is one of my favorite choreos from APink based on their title tracks, it added extra points; although I still love the other songs more. XD I guess... I needed more energy in the song itself somehow? But that was achieved in the last chorus at least for me. It's just that I prefer the other title tracks more. And I am amused by those bouncing tennis balls, and the tennis that is happening-- Well I like tennis. XD Of course APink took my attention the most no matter what. Their vocals were really nice in here too; somehow kind of lowkey though.
6. I Don't Know - April 2011 (Debut)
Yas, their debut-- And I love it. XD I actually thought that their choreo here was more complex, or somehow, a bit more highkey compared to others, and I like that. Oh and back to the song, it gives me that nostalgic feeling since they were so young during that time. Song was really cute and right up my alley too- (I miss OT 7 APink T_T) Chorus came in well and had that oomph, I liked the transition or rather the progress from Bomi's part to Eunji's part there. And get those long high notes Eunji! It was a good build-up turned to a wonderful in the song , followed by the key change led by Bomi in the end. They looked so young and I could see how much they matured now if I look at the music video of this again. I think Mr. Chu is catchier to me than this, but music/composition-wise, I personally think this song is better so it had the upper hand. The line distribution here was pretty different from the present. (These moments when Eunji and Chorong were chubbier T u T And Hayoung was only 14 when they debuted with this song :O)
5. LUV - November 2014
L-O-V-E LUV-- *does the point choreo because I love it* XD Anyways, this was the time when APink's vibe got more mature to me, and they were not exactly happy in the MV (awww :( ) This song had a different vibe compared to the others since it was more "sad" or "dramatic" in a way. The song is catchy though, especially the chorus where the point choreo is definitely memorable, and the lines L-O-V-E LUV would make their marks. I like that Chorong and Hayoung harmonized in the bridge, and Namjoo having some vocal moments in here as well. Naeun singing in the chorus too :D I would admit I might have expected something bigger after Eunji's bridge part into the last chorus because of how it built up. I like the dance break part too, and speaking of that, their choreo was more mature now as well. It seemed to be more defined. Many points for catchiness and the vibe of the song actually. The girls in the MV though-- Well I was having feels since I started waiting for their comebacks at 12 am everytime. XD Overall, a really good song ^^ Vocals had more "emphasis" in here as well, and I like it like that.
4. Hush - May 2012
Ma jammmm--- And I think it is somehow underrated in contrast to the rest of the title tracks. It had that disco feel which I liked, and it had that playful and lowkey y feel as well, which I dig. The choreo suited the chorus really well too, the "hush hush hush hush hush". This song got me some hype you know, and catchy too. I particularly like the pre-chorus here where it builds up, and the chord progression it had during that time. And I really like the "dramatic" effect that I'm getting from the bridge starting from Namjoo's part to Eunji's high notes, like it's breaking it down and slow motion for a moment. I love the choreo-- I liked that the sliding of their feet (if that's how it is called XD) in the outro was different from the intro, where this time it is slower. I do wish that this song was more appreciated, because it had some change of pace from what APink usually does and I think they embodied this well.
Part 2 would be posted later-- for my Top 3 :) Guess which would be my favorite XD Thank you for reading~ ^^
