Sweet Luv, miss RUNAWAY's 11, that must leave today. Hailing from Once Upon A Time EP, Sweet Luv is uncharacteristically produced by Jake K and Jinri from Full8loom, who is more famous for their sleek synth-heavy production.
Back when the tracklist is revealed, I was excited to see Full8loom name in the credits, hoping for their usual crazy synthpop antics, only to get this very lowkey affair nn. I've said in the past eliminations that I don't mind their R&B leaning b-side, but I just never get Sweet Luv at all. I don't think the very coffeeshop-feel accoustic guitar is main culprit, as I find some track like this in the past that I enjoy like SNSD's Wait A Minute. Maybe it's just the plain melody that never click on me.
Some of you shower this praises, like ysev who compare it to a naughties singer : " I love how this is a sound that is very them without having been overdone. It kinda gives Night & Day meets Secret Garden. The perfect blend of acoustic midtempo and late 90s Mandy Moore-esque bubblegum pop." I never listen to Mandy Moore nn, though her recent song When I Wasn't Watching is amazing. Also I quickly check some of her past songs and I can't really notice it ?
Miss Slice of Life provides an even better comparison : " The verses lowkey gave me Wonder Girls’ Girlfriend vibe…. Wig!" ff the accoustic guitar loop is pretty identical, great find ! Let's give the last speech to the 11 giver, RUNAWAY : "~I like the way you love me~ <3 Sujeong’s voice here is EVERYTHING, along with Yein and Kei. Their parts are just so damn good. I had a spiritual connection to this song last year, and that led to it becoming my favorite ever Lovelyz song. I can play this song on loop for hours and never get sick of it, it’s just one of those songs that my love grows more for each listen. If you get it you get it, if you don’t you don’t, if you know you know, and if you don’t know I honestly feel bad for you. ~I give it all to you~ <3" I'm so happy for your discovery unnie, hope you can accept this elimination gracefully hehe.
But Sweet Luv isn't alone......
Because there is another tie......

How ? HOOOOW ? Goodnight Like Yesterday, their first official song as Lovelyz, leave us today in #42 spot and it's wrong as hell !!!
Just like their many stuffs during 2014-2016, Goodnight Like Yesterday is written and produced by their music executive One Piece. Goodnight Like Yesterday leaving this early is mind-boggling and another misstep in this rate, because it sets the template and standards for Lovelyz's ballad in the future. You could hear the continuity and shared elements between this and Secret Story or Never, Secret.
Do I really need to explain how godly this song is ? This is essential Lovelyz darling, it's high-quality melody. Beautiful melodies in its purest form. This is THE ballad, ballad that isn't written just for filling an album. Ballad that isn't written for vocal warbling. This is ballad for its intended purpose : telling a story and Goodnight Like Yesterday deliver that.
Lyrically talking about aftermath of a breakup and how you still wish it can be reversed, the verse starts very low and moody, signifying the doom of the breakup. But as the song progress, the melody keeps going higher onto the chorus, where we desperately begging all of this to be back just like before. The drama don't stop there, it keeps pushing to the bridge, before it stops a bit for a breath until the last chorus hits like a choke-full tears of pleading. At the end, the pleading left unanswered, and all that was left are fleeting memories of the past. Goosebumps.
I could go on and on about my love for this song. The simple yet effective production, the hidden harmonies enhancing every vocals, the vocal performances !!! Lovelyz isn't the strongest group in terms of vocalist, but what I love is their tone and how they always felt...so emotive. Yes I will never stop praising their vocals until the end of time. Even Jiae shines here, with her low range vocals. That's what I called talent.
Also can we talk about the MV ? The simpler times, when idols don't need to wear the latest fast-fashion clothes from overpriced brands so their fans won't keep crying about stylist or whatever. They got 50$ for this MV and yet they still serve. Using watermelon for the moon scene ? Mind of the mastermind.
Whew this is getting too long. Let's see what some of you has said. ysev trust you will be dealt with : " This is giving 2007 Ne-Yo fff" Just like the old proverb said, great artist steal and improve, just like Lovelyz did. RUNAWAY said : " Gorgeous song, and their voices shine so much here. I think this was the first thing I ever heard from them" Yass more vocals praises, I know that's right. Oh also I almost broke my friendship when I receive his score for this, he said it's boring ? When he is a ballad lover ? Make it make sense.
Tomorrow maybe I will eliminate only one track before Top 40 and it's a b-side that has been performed in music shows. Keep guessing <3

Rotten. Beastly. Tasteless. Heartless. I hate you three!

Actually I have more to say! Ne-yo schmeyo, @ysev you can eat my butt. Good night like yesterday is quintessential Lovelyz and possibly in my top 10 ballads… ever? It’s so delicate and dreamy, wistful and nostalgic, all things that I associate with Lurvelyz and their music.
I really hate this elimination. Gonna stream this masterpiece and CRY.

It was Rewind that sadly must miss our Top 40 by slight. Coming from Sanctuary EP, Rewind is written and produced by Heuktae and Jeong-seok who also produce For You before for Lovelyz.
Rewind is the song that I used to play sneakily when I'm with my family because the song has strong contemporary Christian pop energy dddd. Even my mom has been vaguely liking it, queen of the Gee Pee ! I think it's the combination from the piano melody that is very familiar and the lowkey 80s contemporary feels a la Wham! Honestly, I think the song's main weakness is actually the chorus ? I don't know, it feels a bit disappointing. I wish they just kept it lowkey and vibe-y throughout the song.
The only commentary comes from RUNAWAY who said : " standout album track along with the last one. one of their best ever! <3" Hmm, amongst Like U and Daydream in the same EP ? I don't think.
I link one of the Christian song that I found similar, please tell me I'm not crazy for thinking there is similarities nn

Starting our Top 40 is another Lovelyz ballad, Secret Story. Secret Story is produced by a part of 1Piece team, indie musician Spacecowboy along with the help from other indie darling Kim Areum and others (JADE, NV, Choi Young-jun). Pretty big team for a Lovelyz track, huh ?
Secret Story seems like a continuation from Goodnight Like Yesterday sound, a whimsical ballad with strong Lovelyz signature stampeded all over it. Secret Story take a daring step from the formula, by make it even moodier and slower ddd
Not gonna lie, Secret Story takes a while to grow in me, but ever since it clicks, it has a special place in my heart. It's a perfect companion during a rainy or particularly sad night, when you just want to ponder into the city lights while the cold night air hit you. The outro especially, ugh ! That fading twinkling synths sounds so cold and lonely, I love that !
Sadly none of you seems appreciate this gem more, as there is no 10 from anyone beside me and my friend. I thought y'all like Twice - Doughnut ??
The next one is gonna be a tie.....
The first one is...

Our final subunit song, The, finally being eliminated today, leaving us to full-group songs and one solo song that are still on the run. The is sung by Mijoo, Sujeong and Yein, while Sweetune held the writing and production aspect.
The serves as a musical break for Lovelyz overall discography and for the members themselves, cause I believe it must be a bit tiring hear the same formula over and over again dd. The instead gives us a little pop-rock moment, that won't be out of place in Miley Cyrus / Hannah Montana albums.
The isn't particularly innovative, the familiarity of this pop-rock derivation may find love on some listeners, but not for me. It isn't really anthemic or engaging chorus, something you would seek out from this type of Disney pop-rock.
However, what I like from The is actually the lyrics. What is this "the" they're keep talking about ? Well it's sex basically dd. Pretty funny juxtaposition of this cheery rock number with the lyrics that is basically the girls begging their guy to be ambitious and fuc...I mean kiss on their lips xoxo. I bet the girls are having a blast when recording this, Yein in particular shines a bit more here.
Our Sweetune / Monotree enthusiast Wills said : " What a sweet tune, they don’t make em like this anymore" while Slice of Life see what I envisioned : " This sounds like a Christmas song from a Disney Channel original movie……. which is exactly my aesthetic so slay a bitsy." OK miss London Tipton ! ysev highlight the song's weakness : " Bad chorus period" I do agree bestie.
Monday we gonna eliminate two songs. Next clue : A hit single and Kim - Pete - Kanye xoxo

Yep, the singles are still safe and today's eliminated track is Knock Knock. Hailing from R U Ready ? album, Knock Knock is written and produced by long-term collaborator 1Piece.
Knock Knock is absolute package of joy and fun, much better cute banger than some that is still on the rate in my opinion *cough* Mimyo Mimyo *cough*. The hook is utterly memorable, built like a telephone conversation / call and response. The chorus is pure delight and instant mood-booster, packed in neat production with little sound effects here and there that isn't overpowering.
So it's mindboggling to me Knock Knock is done dirty like this and even without proper explanation from any of you ffff. Miss @codecat please explain your score, where is the guardian of cute concept that I know ?
The next elimination also stinks....

You bunch of Eeyore !!! You are in Lovelyz rate, why are we hating happiness, joy and fun ???
Another cute funsy track that is actually good, Triangle, leave us today. Triangle is written and produced Razer from the production team Rphabet.
Coming from the same producer, Triangle feels like a rehash of 1cm. No shade to 1cm however, she is a cute girl, but Triangle has better and more coherent chiptune intros ? The chorus is much poppier and flow better ? The strings sounds more neat here than the sonic mess that is 1cm ? The bridge is much better than- Okay I'm gonna stop now, all what I'm trying to say is Triangle is the superior sister. Naur it's true.
I'm literally so obsessed with this track ff so yeah I'm gonna defend it a bit more. It finds the perfect balance of being cutesy while not sacrificing the song itself. The lyrics that talk about love triangle with your bestie and later decides to sacrifice your love for the friendship, is devastating but cute at the same time, giving Triangle a bit more depth and interesting point of view. Also I love the transition from the first chorus to the Jisoo's verse, the sudden instrumental stop and a little violin playing is so funny and cute.
None of you commenting once again why you disliking / not feeling Triangle. Maybe I will see some justification in 1cm elimination and I hope so !
No clue for y'all because I'm mad ! jk pleek litter this thread as you wish.

Umm okay that's QUITE enough editorializing out of you!!
Although I'm listening again and Triangle is better than the 8 I gave it, so maybe you made some points hehe.
But still! Keep 1cm out of it!!! God knows we'll be chatting about her before too long
