I’ve seen a lot of discussion on the length of songs in kpop and how songs are becoming “too” short nowadays because of tik tok trends and streaming. Although that could be true does a songs length actually determine it’s quality? A recent song that I’ll use as an example would be Hot by Le Sserafim. A lot of people were saying the song wasn’t as good as it could be since it didn’t have a bridge. Personally I feel like a bridge would’ve disrupted the flow of the song, and that Hot served its purpose in the time it was given. Come Over is on the same album and is even shorter, but I’ve seen more people enjoy it without much discussion about the song length.
Is the thought process just that title tracks need to be over three minutes? Or does it depend on the dynamics of the song? I don’t think there’s a set time frame for when a song becomes good or satisfactory. The length of a song is one of the last factors I consider when listening to it, but it seems to be one of the most common critiques.
