The Song
Okay, so what do I actually think of this song? Well, let's just say it's not exactly my cup of tea. I don't know if it's the beat to the song or the melody, but I just don't really enjoy it. Of course, I don't hate the whole song, I can listen to it, and there are a few parts that I like, (for example, Beomgyu's 'They came, catch my back' part. That part is probably my favourite part out of the whole song) but I'm pretty sure I wouldn't go out of my way to listen to it. Call me tasteless, but to be honest, I prefer Cat & Dog to Puma, although this is kind of biased because I love Cat & Dog, a lot of people don't, so you get my point. So, to conclude this section, Puma is definitely not one of my favourite songs from TXT.
The Choreography
Next up, the choreography. This choreography definitely isn't one of my favourites but I do acknowledge the fact that it is a good choreo. As per usual, TXT executed the choreography really well and the constant claws in the choreography really highlight the 'Puma / Animal' theme of this song. I don't necessarily have a favourite part of this choreography, but I would say that it is creative, and for a rookie group, it is quite good.
The Music Video
So, it may seem like I've been dissing Puma for the past few paragraphs, but now I actually have something good to say, and that's about none other than the music video. To me, the music video is probably the best part of this whole track. But first, if you haven't watched the MV then make sure to watch it above.
So, why do I like the music video so much? Well, watch 10 seconds of it, by those 10 seconds only you can see how high quality and high budget this music video is, it shows how hard TXT and BigHit work to provide us with good content. This music video is similar to the music video of 'Can't You See Me?' in the sense that they are both dark concepts, but the theme of Puma is quite different. Puma has this really trapped animal or beast theme which all of the members of TXT pull of quite well, and for Can't You See Me, I'm still unsure... But aside from that, I quite like this music video, I could go on (I haven't even mentioned TXT's visuals yet) but I'll spare you the time. — But if you want to hear me gush about visuals, then be sure to check out my review of Can't You See Me. — Overall, this Music Video was very well done.
Who owned this song?
For once in this section, I didn't have so much trouble. I managed to narrow my choice down to 2 people and one honourable mention. So, who are they? Well, In my opinion, the 2 people who owned this song are:
Yeonjun and Beomgyu.
So, why did I pick these two? Well, for Yeonjun, need I explain? This song is Yeonjun's song and he slayed in it, and as much as I may not love the song, you can't deny that Yeonjun's stage presence, visuals, rap and everything in this song is amazing. Now, for Beomgyu. I picked Beomgyu because I just felt he stood out to me in this song, and plus, he got a decent amount of lines in this song and I'm so happy for him because Beomgyu is so talented and it pains me that some people don't realise that.
Now, who's my honourable mention, well, it is none other than Prince Taehyun himself.
So, the reason I chose Taehyun as an honourable mention is simply the fact that he was centre during the choruses and I was really happy about that, and plus, Taehyun's vocals are amazing. I'm sure that gets my point across well.
Tell me in the comments who you thought owned this song.
Overall
So, overall, what did I think of Puma? Well, it's not my favourite, but it isn't necessarily a bad song, I just didn't personally enjoy it. Keeping this in mind, my overall rating for TXT's Puma would be a 7-8 / 10. Tell me guys what you think in the comments.
