Review - TXT's Can't You See Me

by - June 04, 2020

TXT recently came out with their new song 'Can't You See Me' and I think we can all agree, MOA's worldwide were blown away. TXT changed their concept from quite light, fresh and fun to dark, mysterious and just downright amazing. Since TXT is probably my Ult Boy Group, I had to review this song, so here is my review on 'Can't You See Me?'


 

The Song

First up, what did I think of the song? Well, I think this song is absolutely beautiful. I had it on repeat for days, the contrast between the slow piano at the beginning and the chorus which is a bit more upbeat (upbeat probably isn't the right word for this concept, but you get what I mean) works so well. I honestly just can't describe this song, it's so good. Here are some of my favourite parts:

  1. Yeonjun's 'Shh, More' part on the last chorus.
  2. The bridge section of the song with Soobin and Yeonjun
  3. Taehyun and Yeonjun's 'together, together' parts.

I'm pretty sure I could go on, but you get the idea.

The Choreography

This choreography is HARD, but I love it. There are parts in the choreo where it's smooth and other parts where it's sharp and powerful, but TXT execute all the moves so well at all times. Also, who wants to make Soobin's shoulders main dancer of TXT? I do. My favourite parts of this choreography are:

  1. Of course, Soobin's 'Who's a liar' part. It seems like such a simple move but I didn't even realise that only some people were crossing their fingers for 'liar' and others held out their pinky instead. That move only added to all the theories about this song, but I'll get to that in the Music Video section of my review.
  2. Yeonjun and Taehyun's 'together, together, forever, forever' parts. Let me explain, first of all, Yeonjun's part. The footwork in his part is hard to believe. It looks simple, but I've watched dance covers for this song, and I haven't seen anyone execute it as perfectly as Yeonjun did. Next, Taehyun's part, the arm wave. I can't fathom how they make it look so cool. I've tried and failed on multiple occasions, and TXT did it with ease.

Overall, this choreography is great, although it doesn't beat Cat & Dog for my favourite choreography from TXT, I still really like it.

The Music Video


Now for the best part, the music video. The teasers for this music videos had MOA's worldwide coming up with theories left, right and centre. To this day, I still don't understand the music video, but, if you have any theories, leave them in the comments below. However, first of all, if you haven't watched the music video, be sure to watch it above.

So, what did I think of the MV? Well, it was eerie, it was dark, it was weird and it was very red. There were so many elements to the music video that seem like it could be symbolising something, the tomatoes and strawberries, Beomgyu choking Taehyun with a blanket, the multiple seisures. I know, brutal. But, even with all of this, the music video is so aesthetically pleasing, the color scheme was mainly hot colors, with red being the focus and don't even get me started on the outfits. It's hard to believe that TXT are the same people who put out 'Crown' a while back. The duality is insane. One of my favourite parts of the music video is that one part when they're all in a line, there's so much going on I can't even describe it. Finally, the visuals. The visuals in this music video are A-MA-ZING. TXT really is a group of all visuals, they're stunning. Now before I gush on forever about this music video, let's move onto the next section.

Who owned this song?

This was quite difficult for me. This song and the change of concept fit all the members of TXT and everyone shined this comeback, however, the two members who caught my attention the most were:

Yeonjun and Soobin


The reason why I chose these two is that first of all, Yeonjun's dancing really stood out to me, and, his 'shh, more' is iconic. And secondly, I chose Soobin because his acting in this music video and this era, in general, is amazing, #actorSoobin and finally, Soobin's Shoulders. Soobin's shoulders wrecked my bias list and I'm not mad. Tell me who you think owned this song in the comments below.

My Overall Rating

Now for my overall rating, I may be biased, but this comeback was just amazing, from Crown, to Run Away to this. I was shook. So, my overall rating for this comeback would be 8-9 / 10. Leave your ratings in the comments below!

Anyways, I hope you enjoyed, and make sure to stay tuned on here, and my YouTube channel so that you know when the YouTube video for this post is out. (YouTube video is out now!)

Stay Safe,

Ciao xx
