I'm a fan of horror concept but this is probably the creepiest instrumental i've ever heard

This song is too good to be without a MV 😭

the way wendy’s highnote peeked through at 0:44 😭😭

0:44 this girl's voice is too high to be filtered😭

Step Back performance did give me huge dark circus vibe and the instrumental version is the proof (I LOVE IT)

this is one of the most complex and creepiest instrumentals i’ve ever heard and i love this!! it’s so addicting and just powerful in the most dark and epic way

“INCOMIIIINNGGGG!” everytime i hear that in a song i know its a banger!!!!

It’s crazy how I love the instrumental more than the actual song 😭

SM instrumental is just on another level. As a person who is interested & currently studying in producing, one thing that i can say and has been observing over the last couple of song releases they've done is that their instrumental/sound is fresh & engaging if that makes sense. There's just something about it that makes me wanna comeback and hear it again, and usually with this type of song is that the first hear is gonna be rough and weird, but after that i suddenly like the song eventhough i find it weird at first listen.

if you're a fan of Kanye, Jay-Z, or Beyonce, this instrumental basically hits different, easily one of my most favorite instrumentals ever in K-pop

got jumpscared by wendy’s highnote oh my god 😭 0:44

It sounds so apocalyptic in the best fucking way, but weirdly beautiful with orchestra. It kinda reminds me of that tiktok audio "masquerade" somehow? Like creepy and chaotic/circus-y but still fucking fire

I'm in love with this instrumental, especially the 0:28 part

I can't stop listening to this song, they're already taking over the world 😍

I think that without the ominous choir and strings in the instrumental, this song would blend right in with your "regular girl crush concept" (which I still love), but it's these creepy sounds that elevate the song to a whole new unique level. Honestly, that part of the instrumental makes the song feel kind of deranged, like it actually SCARES you. When you pair it with the girls' vocals, it does a good job of selling the vibe. Not exactly the biggest fan of the lyrics, but the instrumental is what keeps me repeating this song :3

You must step back 어델 어델 봐 너 감히 누구라고 날 제껴 이쯤에서 물러나고 입 닫는게 좋을걸 아님 어디 한번 기어 올라와 보던가 널 짝사랑을 했었니 소꿉장난처럼 어릴 때 엔간히 끼를 좀 끼를 좀 끼를 좀 네가 부렸겠니 소싯적 추억 팔이 그리 재밌니 내 남잔 지금 Another level 너 따윈 꿈도 못 꿀 Level 날 가진 그런 Next level 보다시피 Another level Don’t bring it to me 꺼져줘 내 거에서 손 떼 너 Step back Step back 다시 태어나도 안될걸 Step back Step back 착한 남자들에게 너는 독배 같은 것 마실수록 외로워 He’s sick and tired everyday 넘지 말아 Border line Step back Step back 네가 비빌 곳이 아니야 Step back Step back 저울질로 가린 건 참지 못할 가벼운 네 마음일걸 He’s sick and tired everyday 그런다고 네게 되나 들어봐 상상보다 너 같은 애들이 많긴 많아 그러거나 말거나 세상은 너를 빼고 돌아가 돌아가 You gotta get a good mind Are you looking for fun 재미를 또 찾니 호의로 다가와 이미 계산 끝나 공해상의 보물선을 보기라도 한 듯 막 들이대 시작해 Transaction 넌 좀 감당 못할 Level 세계가 무대인 Our Level 내 곁에서야 가능 Level 보다시피 Another level Don’t bring it to me 꺼져줘 내 거에서 손 떼 너 Step back Step back 다시 태어나도 안될걸 Step back Step back 착한 남자들에게 너는 독배 같은 것 마실수록 외로워 He’s sick and tired everyday 넘지 말아 Border line Step back Step back 네가 비빌 곳이 아니야 Step back Step back 저울질로 가린 건 참지 못할 가벼운 네 마음일걸 He’s sick and tired everyday 그와 함께했던 수많은 날들 네 장난 같은 유혹에 흔들리지 않아 사랑이란 감정을 거래하는 건 Too much 이제 그만 꺼져 돌아가 네 세계 다시는 착각은 말고 남자들 다 똑같아 내가 뜨면 시선집중 여기저기 Flash 터져 찍어라 찍어라 찍어라 상상은 너의 Freedom 가지가지 하기 전에 속부터 Build up 더 나가면 넌 좀 다쳐 Girls Bring it on Step back Step back Step back Silly girl The only girl who live in a dream Step back Step back Step back Silly girl 내 앞에서 좀 비켜줘 Yeah Don’t bring it to me 꺼져줘 내 거에서 손 떼 너 Step back Step back 다시 태어나도 안될걸 Step back Step back 착한 남자들에게 너는 독배 같은 것 마실수록 외로워 He’s sick and tired everyday 넘지 말아 Border line Step back Step back 네가 비빌 곳이 아니야 Step back Step back 저울질로 가린 건 참지 못할 가벼운 네 마음일걸 He’s sick and tired everyday

Man, you REALLY don't realize how creepy the background track on this is until you listen to it isolated. I cannot believe they managed to make a song with such complex vocals that so heavily features such a dissonant sample in the bassline.

Give it to sm to have some of the weirdest and creepiest instrumentals yet they’re so fun

This is so SM-ish. It's so good and original! Especially 3:42, it's like the theme of a 1930s movie.

I really dont like the lyrics but I love the instrumental (edit: don’t get me wrong, i love got but the lyrics are not what I expected and they sound pretty cheesy to me. Good, that I don’t understand Korean. Also the writer is pretty problematic and misogynistic.)

0:44 my queen wendy vocals are so powerful 👑

Monster = Step back. terrifying instrumentals. 🤝

wendy and seulgis vocals were too strong until half of their part was heard

this instrumental is fire! sounds like the theme of a dark circus

Pls why does this Instrumental sounds like the world is about to end and the girls are giving their last performance XD😭🤣❤🖤

it’s giving me rv’s rbb and nct’s sticker

Its really SM style 😳

0:44 wendys highnote was too strong to be covered 💀

This instrumental is so unsettling, I love it with my whole heart. Their voices add so well to its disturbing aspect as they're not really following the tune. THE DISSONANCE!

between this song and EXO-Obsession, Dem Jointz has really got a knack for these darker, creepier sounds, i'm a huge fan!

wonnie the best instrumental maker!

It's creepy but when you hear it in 0.5X it'll creepy even more especially in this part 0:50 😱😱

this is the best kpop instrumental ever

I'm more addicted to the instrumental than the whole song itself

Velvetification of zimzalabim = step back.

0:13 *kick it has entered the chat*

Damn the horror vibe is so strong. Would fit the halloween too😍

no other producer in kpop understands me like demjointz does

the sample they're using is sickk

I loveeee how eerie and out of the box the instrumental is, the choir voices almost has this apocalyptic vibe with the creepy distortioned circus music, so original

No doubt it'll be a masterpiece by our wonnie the world👏💫

THIS SLAPS! it can be a Velvet concept instrumental for a Red Velvet comeback too!

0:28 simply art ✨

2:16 THE BRIDGE IS PHENOMENAL, it’s so beautiful

The song isn't even officially out omgg you're so fast

3:42 i'm addicted to this kind of sound

The instrimentals are so good. Like a creepy yet giving a vibe of girl crush. We usually don't get this orcastric and creepy vibes in kpop. I hope SM produse this kind of music more. ✨

wow i love this part 2:17

this sounds so good and terrifying at the same time! i love it!🔥

The instrumental:💀💀💀 The song: 👭💝🧚🌸

The instrumental is dark royalty! 🔥🌙💀👑

THIS INSTRUMENTAL SOUNDS SO POWERFUL I LOVE IT

so we can all agree the instrumental is such a masterpiece. there's too much happening ✨

their vocals are too powerful to be concealed, you can notice their high notes overpowering the bgm 😭😭😭

este es uno de los mejores instrumentales que eh escuchado en mi vida, bendito sea el productor y compositor que hizo este instrumental

0:03 this reminds of some sort of a hunted church

creepy but its soo good at the same time

Imagening those big black cars at night with smoke in the air running after you 🤐🤐🤐

i really like this choir

0:28 creeped me out😀

this is so unsettling istg

is it just me or the instrumental and the vocals work so much better separately?

There are many sounds and melodies. It sounds like the noise, and the sounds of horror movies, yet the end result was great. Whoever did this is an amazing person

0:44 LEVELL

Lol not even the instrumental can't get rid of Wendy and Taeyeon's high note

I LOVE THIS INSTRUMENTAL!!!!!
