2PM - Again and Again Kpop Song Review

Artist: 2PM
Title: Again and Again
Album: 1:59 PM
Track: 11

I think that reviewing 2pm - Again and Again is a fitting start for this blog. This is because this the song that brought me back to listening to Kpop. I was watching Channel V when this song played, and its catchy beeping opening hooked me and made me want to know more about it.

About the Song:
Again and Again is a medium paced dance and groove song that talks about a guy's apparent obsession with his lover. It could probably be best summarized by the lines "She's a bad girl I know, but here we go again Oh no." The lyrics would talk about going back "again and again" to the girl even if she doesn’t necessarily treat him right.

Song Review:
What I like about this song is that… well I think I like everything about this song. I like how the songs is filled with powerful and dance inducing beats even if it’s not as fast paced as other dance songs. “Again and Again” is also quite catchy even if it doesn’t have the usual prerequisites of catchy songs such as cuteness or that fun factor. I think even the way they digitized some of the vocals were still able to make the song that much better.

People would also probably enjoy how the boys of 2PM sang it with so much emotion. This is particularly evident in the latter part of the song, especially when they were singing the lines from the chorus.


Recommendation:

If i were to give this a rating, I would score it a 5 out of 5! I personally think that Again and Again is one of the best songs of 2pm so far (I would argue that it's better than Heartbeat). Apparently, at least one major Korean network agrees with me, since KBS feted it with the song of the year award in 2009's KBS Music festival.
