Before I talk about the song... I know the correct title is Compas, but I doubt they chose the French spelling of the word intentionally and I'm very anal about stuff like this, so I'm putting the ass back in Compass. Thank yew.
Compass is the ninth track on GFRIEND's first full length album 'LOL'. It was written and composed by ZigZag Note and Retro Funkee who were clearly very inspired by f(x)'s Airplane, as some of you mentioned. I'm not sure why I rated Compass so low, honestly. Maybe that's actually because of its similarities to Airplane and the fact that it unfortunately sounds like a lesser version of that track? Well, in any case, it deserved a better score from me and I'll have to live with the regret of underscoring it for the rest of my life.
I love the EDM influences that are very clearly present here but are not overpowering. Above all, Compass is a feel good song and you feel it from the first to the last note. According to its official description, the song is about a girl who isn't afraid of going anywhere as long as she is with the person she likes, that person being their metaphorical compass. The lyrics are adorable and do a great job of expressing that feeling you get when you're in love with someone and it's like nothing can stop you as long as that person is there, standing next to you. Sappy, yes, but beautiful all the same.
The song wasn't promoted at any point but a ballad version linked below was performed on the show Yoo Heeyeol's Sketchbook. It was also used as the Encore song for GFRIEND's tour, Go Go GFRIEND!
@eatyourself (10) : Does this remind anyone else of f(x)'s Airplane aka the best song of all time? It's impossible for me not to fall for this cloud-soft build-up leading to THAT chorus... and that pre-chorus!!!!! Instant serotonin, makes me want to, again, go to the beach and light up a blunt.
@M24 (8.5) : I think the buildup in the pre-chorus is my favorite part of the song here! The chorus is pretty good, not earth-shattering, but it doesn't need to be. I'm surprised most of the lines there are sang by all the members at the same time, I don't think that happened very often in their discography as it's usually Yuju or Eunha getting the most lines in the choruses.
@Attis (10) : Come with me, airplane, love !
@Wills (9.75) : Dropping a single S off the title was never gonna stop me from saying they put their whole compussy into this
