its SO Taeyong and i love it so so much, he worked really hard on this album and im so proud of him and happy that we can finally hear and see that!

as a nctzen i expected this sound and i love him for doing it this way. loved this song on first listen tbh, it’s so taeyong. some people won’t get it and that’s okay 🙂

It's always a joy to watch nct cbs they're always so out of the box and their creativity never runs out . esp taeyong as hes such a unique individual so i knew what to expect since the album was announced that the title track especially is gonna sound insane and very experimental since we know his sound and musical preferences hes literally the most neo person out there and i love it lol

I see this song being a grower, its addicting and catchy. Taeyong always creates songs outsides the box. You should definitely check out his mini album the songs are a completely different vibe to the title, I feel like you would like his bsides.

TAEYONG is not your usual Kpop idol. He's much more than that. He's a true artist who pushes the creative boundaries. Not the singing, rapping, dancing muppets we are used to. No matter how perfected their skills are after years of intense training. There is a difference between artistry and skills. You've got be born with the gift, the other you can learn, teach, buy and sell.

First watch is to adjust to the new (neo) sound, second watch is when everything hits different. Third watch is because it's your new favorite song. Just like any NCT, song you gotta let it simmer 😁

he has different roles through out the mv he plays every role

this song is so catchy, I'm addicted to TY rapping voice 💚 each track of the album has its own essence and story, it's so my tastes, I LOVE this album so much already, this is so Taeyong

it is such a fun experience to watch taeyong's music video

he slayed it, the album is so good

you should watch the premiere!!! it explains what his intentions were behind the song

it's definitely a song that gets better the more you listen to it. the rest of the album isn't like that though, songs like virtual Insanity and 404 are gonna catch your attention immediately!

NCT confusing the heck out of listeners and musicians at first listen, even their own fans are taken aback every comeback, but that's actually the point of the neo concept you'll eventually get addicted and you won't believe how it happens.

this can’t get anymore taeyong & neo than it already is 💚

I absolutely love this song, it's really addictive, especially virtual insanity which I have been so excited for when I realised its a remake of Taeyongs soundcloud song GTA 2

It’s crazy how incredibly dense some are, but that’s ok. Neo is Taeyong’s brand and some ppl just won’t get it first glance 🙅‍♀️

Hes EVERYTHING HES SO MUCH

This song is also not for me - but I couldn’t stop grinning throughout the entire MV. I thank Taeyong for making me squint, question and laugh. The bsides of this mini are the songs for me. They’re emotional and personal. Listening to each track, one after another, felt like a journey.

Its giving TOP and GD from Bigbang, like this is definitely what they would release if they're still active 😂 its fun, hip hop, and creative 🙌

i do recommend the b-sides they might be more to ur liking tbh

Please listen to the whole album not just the mv. Taeyong himself mentioned that this song is a title song for the sake of the performance. It is a common thing in Kpop. But when you explore his whole album, you will see other elements of Taeyong. Each song has different vibe. Taeyong is that kind of versatile artist.

Shalala is such a neo song its so addicting and it definitely grows on you it definitely explains taeyongs style well but I recommend that you listen to some of the other tracks

Personally i think you get kinda lost in the song when watching it with the MV, coz so much is happening, but listening to the song alone definitely lets you hear how good it really is! The MV is cool ofc, its very Taeyong, the whole album is. Overall it was done well

it was very taeyong TY Track

I get it on the 2nd listen! Love the album 💚

it really really grows on you no jokeeee

I mean I get you, I watched it the first time at 7 am but then I was able just to listen the song along and dang dude it really grows on you! The mv might make it a little too much to process but just wait, you'll be jamming to shalala soon!

This mv gives me Eminem Without you vibes

WE GOT THE BOUUUNCE BOO WAW WAW WAAAAAAW BOUUUNCE WE GOT THE BOUUUNCE BOW WAW WAW WAAAAW GOES SO HARD BRO

So quick explanation! Shalala itself meant that everyone has their own "shalala" or shining moment. In this mv, you can see how hacker ty purposely messed up the timeline (because "god" was being lazy as you can see he's eating fast food etc) so yetti, mr. knight, and gameboy sent to different universe. But after some time, they learned to adapt just like how yetti won the bowling, mr knight became employee of the month, while gameboy able to play with the yettis. They have their own shining moment 😄

highly recommend listening to the whole album!!! the other songs are all written by taeyong and are super personal to him and he sings a lot more on them. this was the only track not totally written by him! like ruby and gwando are sooooo amazing. personally i loved shalala bc its just very taeyong and it is exactly his vibe but i totally get how people might not like it a whole lot lmao

This song let me get to know TY and I'm here for it, I really only new him as the highlighter green guy The song really grew on me once I stopped trying to figure out the MV SHALALALALALA, let's gooo 💚💚💚 Love him now, miss you TY

I just find it a little odd that you don’t like the song just because you couldn’t follow the music video. Just sayin.

انت الافضل يا رجل بعد تايونغ طبعا😂

That's Taeyong right there baby. Sooo him.

don´t worry, only neo people get it even some nctzen still confuse hahahaha but Taeyong is the epitome from NEO word

The mv made the song confusing..if listening in alone or watching perf, its actually good

It's currently 4 am in the morning and my braincells be going w got the bounce bow wow wow bounce let's go. LAY LOW LAY LOW BABY KEEP IT LOWKEY It's an addicting song especially after listening to it after a couple of times. I was also confused at first but this is Taeyong so everything he does is unique and his own style, I appreciate the different sound not something we hear often.

tbh if it’s not confusing it’s not neo lmaoo

The mv is very confusing to me too but I think that the song is very fun and addictive which is why I love it, I think I understand or less because I don’t listen to nct normally but I might rethink that after this song

Taeyong on Top🔝

you dont have to understand the mv hahaha, coz i still confused too. u just have to WE GOT THE BOUNCE WOW WOW WOW WOW

First: keep listening. I swear. You'll see why I say that pretty quickly if you let go and just "bounce" with it. Second, find a video of his showcase performance--it hits different. He SLAYED, and the song may just work for you once you've seen that. If not...well...thanks for trying. I enjoy your reactions as s rule, so I can let one slide...

It’s probably because you’re used to your neighborhood kpop song. As an nctzen, to me it was definitely expected to be a little neo if you get what I mean. It’s cool if you’re not into it but I mean.. It’s Taeyong 🤷🏽‍♀️

i didn't like the song at first either hahah and the more i listened to it the more addicting it became

basically when the world distorted, people from different time lines entered other time lines. ty has a role from each time line that are misplaced where they shouldn’t be, past or future

So essentially God is the controller of time, right? And time is is controlled through those computers. And Taeyong is a background hacker. His whole goal essentially went and mixed up time itself just because he wanted to and felt like it. So he put different people/things from different places into worlds they're not supposed to be in. God couldn't do anything about it, so he just deleted the world completely. The song is better without the MV to me to, it was the MV that threw me off the first listen. I'd say listen to it again without the video, and listen to the rest of the album I love it 😁😁😁😁😁

Glad to see I’m not the only one 😢 I love ty but this mv? No…

nah nah i get it tho. i breathe and sleep the neo style, the amount of stuff going on in the mv is just so yes!!

Esta canción tiene más sentido conforme más la escuchas 😂 no sé por qué siempre es así con NCT

Know how there be concepts for major Kpop releases? Taeyong clicked "all of the above" lol

Yeah I know how you feel I was so disappointed that I didn’t like it at first because I didn’t know what the hell was going on and it was just all over the place and it was 2am but when I watched the stage version I liked it a whole lot better 😅

you got Tyler, Kendrick and YE on your wall, i'd be surprised if you were vibing to it if i'm being honest lmaoojfk

Very G Dragonish. I got big GD vibes from this song. I guess that's why I liked it.

6:00 this is it fr for me bro

For the first time i'm listening this song is little bit confuse but i'dont now the part of SHALALALA is repeat on my brain

He's neo that's why

It MAY just not be something you end up liking... and that's ok. Not every song is everyone's favorite. BUT! I will say the album has a lot of variety on it and none of the other songs are quite as experimental sounding as this one - this song also feels different when you listen to it without the MV as well. I definitely think you would appreciate a lot of the album as a whole, even if you don't end up coming around on this particular song, the album is really a work of art IMO.

I'm Nctzen, but surely not everyone agrees with me, but I think taeyong deserved a better video, to be his first solo I love the album, it's just that I expected sm to spend more money on Taeyong's mv

I really hate when these reactors just get lost in the mv and forget to analyze the song behind . Like for nct songs its obvious to expect something that is literally different from these regular kpop songs. You have to give atleast 2 listens to understand the mv or song in particular but calling it weird or bad is just so unsatisfying and disrespectful like this feels like unfinished business. Still glad tho there are people out there who gets their songs. They aren't just neo for nothing

Long flight, love theory , ghost of TY like there are so many genres of TY music thats the real him but this song is solely based on his group concept i guess. I guess you have never heard them like u have with Mark or Ten and their station songs

the mv is about time travel

oh my god

Same, i kind of expected it though. All their b-sides slap but the title track are sometimes hit or miss. I love Long Flight though, his other songs on the mini album give me those vibes.

Try the b-sides; they give a different flavor if you don’t like the taste of this. Also, just to explain the MV-Taeyong was playing four different roles. He played a hacker who changed the timeline by transporting a medieval knight to the 80’s, a game boy to the ice age, and a yeti to the present. I can see how this would be overwhelming at first, but I think it’s super creative and fun! Anyway, I really hope you’ll check out the rest of the album too. Thanks for your honest opinion!

👍👍👍

I do enjoy Taeyong, but this didn’t do it for me

4:37 ONGGGG I BE SOING THAT SHIT AND WIMGHKRENRMTJR

Bruh like seriously WTF is this 😭😂

Well it’s definitely a song

الذوق عندك ارفعه

what the hell is this.....

I watched the song twice and couldn’t get into the song both times fr…. I diverted my eye and listened without watching the mv and then, it sounded really catchy to me… then, I realized it was mv that wasn’t doing it for me…

i didnt like it imo. people saying its a “grower”but its just bad imo. again it’s just my opinion. and i know it works for some people and doesnt for others.

Can someone explain the mv to me pls

Its a grower type of song not a first listen type shii tbh

Maybe it’s a grower idk yet

if u don't know he said has a diffrent roles witch is 4 role and the MV is deppented on his role

The song is very good, I think you didn't like it because the video leaves us very lost

It's weird it's very Taeyong style.

Ngl i like the other songs better

Yes, the MV is for brilliant minds. There are 4 Taeyongs: The Yetti, Mr. Knight, the game-addict, and the hacker. They are all part of a connected web of worlds which is called a metaverse. That God controlled them until yhe hacker Ty who seems not part of the metaverse entered to it. Its a long story so if you have a simple mind you wont decipher it 😂 Good luck!

Worst kpop song of the decade 💀💀

maybe thats why i dont listen to a lot of kpop songs...

The mv is so out of pocket lmao it feels very bubu

Same opinion not for me

I think this is the worst song of 2023 so far. I love him and I know this is so him but....... its terrible. To me. Just not my taste.

Every day I try to give people a chance and this is what’s shown…………this was not good
