I clicked on the like button even before the song started. I knew your reaction to this song would be great !

Puppet Show might sound like they are singing about boys, but it's a low-key commentary about the music industry controlling artists like puppets in order to sell a gimmick.

Is it time to officially call yourself an ALPHAZ yet? 🫶🐺

Maya actually says the 'Bye Felicia' line. And Puppet Show is not just a commentary about the music industry, its really about how the group and company basically strategized everything from the song releases, the freestyles and vocal covers, so by the time Puppet Show came out, we were on a string willing to do anything for these girls. 👽🐺🧬🔥

sooooooooooo, I love when they always surprise you, we gonna do any dance reactions as well? Or would that be too much? lmaoo🤣

Love this song so damn much! This song is really a testament to their success, they themselves have said this song is a celebration. The thing about this song or MV for this matter is you have the initial message of women empowerment which XG is all about and I know you’ll know that more when you get through the documentary. But the MV suggests multiple interpretations. For me the song is them not conforming to societal norms of the music industry. They came to the scene to break boundaries and reach the top their own way they’re gonna have everyone by a string soon cause they’re taking over! Loved the reaction! I completely know the feeling of getting so hyped to the point of frustration because like really tho how can XG be this good even when they try different things. It’s really not fair that a group can be this Xtraordinary.

There is really a lot of symbolism going on in this video ... sorry if this gets a bit longer. All kudos to @exScythed who put this together first to my knowledge, I'm just reiterating. - First, take note that our girls start all separated and alone. They were lowered into Buddhist Hell by the thread of a spider (the starting scene with Chisa hanging in the air represents this). The figures you see in the very beginning are wearing traditional Buddhist headdresses. XG girls are surrounded by spirits who are caught in a cycle of reincarnation that never ends. (In Buddhism the “spider’s thread” is a reference to how Buddha took the thread of a spider in Heaven and lowered it down to Hell so that a criminal can climb up from Hell to Paradise. Therefore the thread of a spider is a symbol of slight hope aka a silver lining and of fragility. In the story it’s stated that the thread descended through “many layers of sky and clouds.”) - The XG girls look on sadly as many spirits attempt to reach Paradise and fail, exploding into nothingness (Chisa looking down from her perch represents this.) - Even though the XG girls are hailed as goddesses by the other spirits (represented by the way the other spirits bow to them) they realize they still can’t reach Paradise alone aka achieve enlightenment. - This changes when the XG girls find each other, realizing that their meeting was fate in order for them to reach Paradise together (they are tied together by the “red string of fate” and “hesonoo” is Japanese for umbilical chord.) This is represented four times in the video and twice in the chorus of the song; When Juria is running to help a spirit in danger of drifting away and meets Hinata there’s a close up of her eye where we see her having a vision of an explosion, when Harvey (who has black teeth which in Japan was a common practice amongst women because it represents a “woman with virtues”) meets Jurin, when the XG girls rap/dance together as a group with the drums, and when a wayward spirit’s failure to achieve enlightenment causes an explosion which knocks everyone down leaving only XG standing strong. - There are also several fourth wall breaks (first Hinata, later Jurin) showing that they’ve broken away from the circle the spirits are stuck walking in. They know the Truth aka achieved enlightenment; they look directly at us and know that we are watching them. Also, it is only in the later two choruses the girls adlib together. The first chorus has none. - Before XG goes, they bless one of the spirits who is heavily implied to be pregnant with a girl (the moon is associated with womanhood ... please don't ask how a spirit in hell gets pregnant) and has earned the right to be reincarnated for good. - Finally, the XG girls take a literal leap of faith together and successfully reach Paradise, symbolized by their new, white outfits. Now, if the lyrics are to be seen (as Simon himself once hinted at) as a criticism of the puppet masters in the music industry, then the symbolism in the video starts making sense. XG breaks free from the industry's strings by doing their own thing - together, united - and reach independence in paradise. That's my interpretation, anyway. Hope this helps for understanding what exactly is going on. And whoever came up with all this (most likely Simon) ... you're a freaking genius.

Awww...Plz don't retire from XG reaction.

Join Alphaz!!!! LOL

Yeah, it’s a tough rabbit hole!! Especially when you’re being bombarded with all these styles. Time to mellow out with New dance. Thanks.

I love xg music now I sub to 😊

XG is always hot 🔥

Lol you said toxic 😂 “imagine a world where we could play different roles”. The lyrics are how they are treated as Asians in the industry and how women are treated in general by men. Essentially “they’ll do anything when you got em by a string” is referencing how they can’t really quit because they gotta make money ya know 🤷‍♀️ thank you for reacting to XG ❤

XG said, "We are THEM!" For real🤣
