I love Itzy. I’ve been a midzy for a long time, since Mafia in the morning era, and I’ve never been happier for them. Girls will be girls and tunnel vision have to be the best I’ve heard from them and I love to see that. But I can’t hide how disappointed I am when I recently found out that this song is written by men. I’m not saying that Itzy can’t be empowering when they have songs written by men, but out of all their songs- I would expect this one to be by a woman. Girls will be girls? Written by a man? what’s the point then? You don’t know what it’s like to be a girl, so why are you writing about it? You could’ve written anything else. I love this song. I’ve replayed it so many times and this won’t make me stop now but it ruins a bit of the feeling for me. I was so happy to see Itzy getting a great concept that they deserve, something that will make people recognise their talent and artistic merit. It’s beautiful, and I can’t believe this is supposed to be their great comeback, partially ruined by such a minor detail that keeps bugging me but no one is talking about. I don’t know if I’m crazy for thinking there’s something wrong here, or if I’m crazy for not being pissed off even more that I was misled like this. I don’t know what to feel, or what most normal people would do when they knew this. Am I alone in this opinion? Being a bit disappointed that a kpop song is fake? I know the industry, I know Itzy don’t write their songs but I’m still saddened by this. I know the song isn’t exactly feminist literature but it’s also not centring men, which is kind of rare in kpop? A song is about the power of female friendships, that’s beautiful. How their bond is so strong, that anything is possible? I love that. But it’s actually written by men that have never experienced such a bond between two girls? That’s kind of hard to stomach. Idk I just wanted to get my thoughts out there.
