When Yuna said “bust it up” I felt that

This comeback feels like a real callback to Dalla Dalla and Wannabe both in music and the message of the lyrics. I love it!

I absolutely love it. Itzy is in their bag when they make fun music, and this whole mini album is really fun!

tbh cake feels like a DIRECT response to the Sneakers outrage lol. Like y'all do y'all, we do us like it or not. Loved it. Also pretty sure the music video is Squid Game inspired!

i think y’all’s interpretation is correct considering none of my business and bet on me went into the hate they have been getting since sneakers. i really loved this song it brought me back to their old era like dalla dalla and icy which made me feel nostalgic. y’all should definitely react to their album because it’s amazing

I love yall’s interpretation! not a reach….I think it’s spot on! loving cake and the entire kill my doubt album!

it took me a few listens to really understand this song because it felt like there was so many unique and different aspects of this song, almost reminded me of nmixx's concept in a way, but after some listens and views I really like this release and I think its really unique and stands out from a lot of releases because of its intricacy. The entire EP is really phenomenal and I hope them the best with this comeback!!

I cannot believe you just decoded this MV for me lmao I couldn’t understand what it was about but your explanation makes so much sense 😭😭

ITZY killed me with this song 😭✋🏼

I know not many people gonna like this song, but idc it’s so gooodddd 😭. I loved it ✊🩵.

I want to say this mv was a squid game reference

What I think about Cake: I love the MV, the visual of the MV is simple yet it is beautiful and fresh, which is fit with their meaningful lyrics. I love the chorus and bridge, it is so heavenly and gorgeous and Itzy nails this. Ok, so to the meaning behind the scenes: First, “Cake”, which Itzy mentioned in their Kill My Dout showcase, the upbeat and spirited song "Cake" stresses the value of being present at the moment, accepting one's uniqueness, and tackling difficulties head-on. In the song, the word "cake" is used frequently as a metaphor for the reminder: just as enjoying a slice of cake is a simple pleasure, so too should we tackle life's issues without overthinking them or letting them bring us down. What Itzy want to spread a message through"CAKE" is their empowerment and self-assurance through the song's lyrics. They stress the need of making the most of each day and avoiding unnecessary complications. They claim that when issues are tackled with the proper perspective, they can be easily conquered by comparing life's trials to a piece of cake. ITZY's song "CAKE" highlights the value of being true to oneself, making the most of the present moment, and facing challenges head-on without creating needless complications. The metaphor of a cake, which represents the notion of savoring each bite of life and accepting things as they come, serves as the song's central metaphor. The song conveys a vital message: while life is full of uncertainties, focusing on the present moment is more gratifying than getting caught up in worries about what could happen next. One might live a more fulfilling life by welcoming each day and taking on obstacles with a calm, confident attitude. Secondly, the black and yellow people that you see in the MV are represented by people on the hate train who throw hate comments at Itzy for no reason (you can see that they shoot bullets at Itzy) just because of one single comeback that they don’t like and say to my girls that they are flopping a.k.a the black people and the yellow person which is us, Midzy, as you can see at the beginning of the video, the yellow person always protect Itzy, at the first scene you can see that a yellow person who holding an umbrella for Lia and look at Lia all the times just to make sure that she is safe from the chaos and at the last scene you can see the yellow person is vibing with Itzy, they are dancing and smiling with Itzy. Throughout times Midzy will always protect, share and support Itzy at any cost. Love you girls, and hope Itzy can have a successful comeback of course hope Itzy is always safe, confident and lovely, smiling with their effort of what they are contributing and yeah hope all Midzy that are listening to this song stay safe, and healthy and support our girls. And by the way, you can look at KPOPOFFICIAL.COM to see their analysis of lyrics. Bye

In regards to the meaning of the MV, I can't help but feel like it's a visual representation of their trajectory over the past year? I don't know if JYP would be so bold to allow this, but obviously ITZY has lost popularity over the past while through both Sneakers and Boys Like You. Their advertising and concept production had done significant blows to the group ITZY as a whole, but despite it all, they kept going and kept slaying. In this MV, in a far more literal sense, everything keeps going wrong production-wise, but aside from the occasional glace at their surroundings, the girls keep going. Like I said, I don't know if JYP would be daring enough to reflect on their marketing mishaps in this way, but it could've been of influence to whoever directed this MV and made the concept (?) I really like the MV (: I think it's interesting and unique

ITZY SLAYED WITH THIS COMEBACK❤🎉🎉🎉❤

LET'S KEEP STREAM CAKE GUYS

Them dying for Ryujin rn but wait till they see the performance video💘

Ryujins rap is like: do i want to be a chair, or a cake XD This song is imo seating at the same table as Sneakers and Bet On Me, and i'm here for it .

CAN'T WAIT FOR THE ITZY DEEP DIVE, YALL HAVE NO IDEA

One theory online is the Raincoated back up dancers are MIDZY, who are protected from bad weather or who always weather the storm. Sounds nice to me. I like that one.

I REALLY LOVE THE SONG TBH

Hi guys! I hope you saw, Itzy Cozy House! I guess it was like a B and B. I enjoyed it! It is a great way to get to know the girls as they really are. Ta-Da! The first girly type mv for your enjoyment is: Shampoo, by After School. It's more of a story than a mv. A young girl, Raina, wants to join a dance school. Things get complicated when she changes her hair color to blonde. Even I enjoyed it primarily because Raina is my bias in After School and her sub group, Orange Caramel. (The latter is the most successful sub group in Kpop history) Enjoy!

Lia said there's a bunch of movie references in the video

AHHH I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR UR REACTION!!! i love ur videosss ❤❤❤❤

The beginning I think can be seen as a cake and their hands are the slices with their fingers being the candle haha

definitely a twerking song/ hip hop/ LOVE ❤️ IDK BUT THIS IS ALL CONCEPT IN ONE SONG😍🔥

Itzy giving a nod to Domino from Marvel Comics/Deadpool II film. Her superpower is Luck and their superpower is Cake.

They said The concept is whatever happens to them like shooting , monsters , and falling from the above, whatever they will survive because they are the MAin characters

Yuna’s part “bust it up” got people throwing their cake back in a circle frfr.

"Is it static electricity" , girl🤣

please check out the rest of the ep it's so good!!

It's the perfect song! The best part of it is that it has an actual message, and not just some random phrases they make into a song. It's so sad itzy is getting ignored they deserve so much

I love your reaction 🥰 you really understand the song thank you midzy here🥰

Have you two seen Squid Game? The cookie with the umbrella + red outfits + people with guns are a reference to that show. Or at least took inspiration from it.

I was really hoping u guys would check out CAKE Performance by KARD.... No resemblance both Itzy and Kard did Great!❤

Best comeback this year so far

I truly love this song 😭😭

You got the interpretation.👏🏼

SLAYYYYYY THIS IS AMAZING

when lia sings i ascened to heaven

I love this song

IT’S SO CATCHYYYY

The ITZY "CAKE" Performance Video (4K) is wonderful.

I feel that lia going through the most in this video makes so much sense. Haters have been nasty to that girl 😪

All the people shooting at them are clowns with really big heads (egotistical asses). I love that. :D

THEY DID THAT

Also they said a lot of scenes are from movies or dramas is what Lia had said I know one of from squid game

btw the choreo in the beginning is not really a crown. it is a cake.

Lia and ryujin are for the girls only 🎀

I can't get over Yuna's bust it up dance. You gotta react to Kill Shot. It's a crazy song.

kard - cake 🔥🔥🔥🔥

ITZY if you like that! cake cake cake cake cake

so cAtchyyyyy

Itzy all the way

love how lia fell 3:09

did you guys know 2:47 girl in the left is sullyoon from NMIXX

the message of the song is messaging 😢

WHY DO I FEEL LIKE THERE IS A SUID GAME REFERENCE IN THIS

if you watch carefully the mv took some references from squid game

midzys, stream the Cake mv.

Ryujin bias heaven.

im very conflicted about this album, it feels like i love half of all the songs and then not a big fan of the other half of all of them, feels like theyre all either a great chorus or verse, mixed with a whole different vibe verse/chorus if that makes sense ill have to give it more time, im just excited for more ITZY, hope it does well!

Please increase the music volume too

Why it think that part of Yeji Holding the Candy thing is a reference of Squid Game. especially those masked using Guns

Pls react to itzy kill shot performance which is their b side

Next reaction Indonesian girl group, Starbe - Pidip Pop It

Next reaction Indonesian girl group, Starbe - Princess Samurai (Feat. Kobo Kanaeru)

Kaya Perez gk si wkwk

Where's ITZY-RINGO reaction?

Do react to itzy-ringo

Song grew on me and I hated it at first 😂😂

The demons and masked shooters are haters, and antifans. Taking their shots at ITZY and always missing. Throwing obstacles at ITZY but they just sidestep them and move on.

Prim icin bilerek sasiriyolar

This song and Sneakers both seem really good, until it gets to the chorus :/ I just pulls me out of it, since netiher seem to fit the rest of the song tbh

Now that all songs and the TT is out:: Song of the Year: most likely NO the song received mixed/polarizing reviews, especially the “CAKE x 100 times part” is annoying, I agree also, it’s catchy but ruins the song. Or the could’ve sung the “Cake part, softly and melodically. The “it’s a piece of cake” lyrics isn’t even clear to be heard correctly, why would the producers even bother with it?!? As for the distribution, they could’ve given the last chorus to Lia, chae or Yeji, even ryujin herself performed it live and couldn’t/didn’t want to sing it cause it was about way above her tone/register. The MV was okay. the members are cute, but let’s be honest, ITZY was born to be edgy, fierce and strong!! Album of the year: definitely YES! The B-sides are so good most of them need a MV and performance MV! Kill Shot deserves a performance MV Psychic lover deserves an animated MV! Overall, all JYPE girl groups deserve better. Twice, Itzy, Niziu and Nmixx are stuck in a company where they just want to make money by milking out the talent, energy and effort do the girls. compared to companies that want their groups to succeed and actually want to make it to the top.

Dreamcatcher VISION BONVOYAGE😱 ITZY More 👈👎😤🤬
