Okay, now without further ado, let's get into the review.

(Just a note before you start reading: I am extremely new to TREASURE even though they were supposed to debut last year... So yeah, if I seem more confused in this review, that's why.)

THE SONG

So first of all, what did I think of the song? Well, something that I noticed at first listen was the very prominent YG Song structure. Recently, I did a review of Somi's What You Waiting For and I said that I didn't really think that it sounded similar to other YG songs, and I didn't think that the typical song structure was too obvious. However, now that I've listened to Boy by TREASURE, I think that I can notice the repetitive structure. And although I would like to see a change, the structure doesn't make me enjoy the song any less.

So, this song starts off with a soft melody and then a nice riff, which I like. Then it goes into the first verse. I quite like the first verse because it is really catchy and it has a nice melody to it. Then after that is a sort of 'rap' section in the song. Now I will admit, in this song, I do prefer the singing parts to the rap parts, but that's just me. So in my opinion, the rap after the first verse isn't really memorable.

After the whole rap section is the pre-chorus. In my recent reviews, I really like the pre-chorus of songs, and it's no different in this song. The pre-chorus is really catchy and plus, the vocals are great. I could honestly listen to the pre-chorus for this song on repeat. But anyways. The pre-chorus ends with 'I just wanna be your boy'. And the end of that line is where the song kinda goes downhill.

The chorus. I definitely do not love the chorus of this song. The melody to me just sounds a bit weird and it just makes the chorus not enjoyable to listen to. Although the vocals during the chorus are very good and the lyrics are catchy, it's just the melody for the chorus that isn't my cup of tea. However, if you think differently, tell me down below in the comments.

After the chorus is another rap part. Now I will admit that I do like this rap part better than the first one. I find it more memorable and catchy than the first one. Although, in my opinion, the rap/2nd verse of this song will not beat the first verse.

After the rap, is the pre-chorus and chorus again, and then the bridge. I quite liked the bridge part, and although I've said this a lot in this review, the vocals were great during this part.

Next up is a dance break, which also follows the YG song structure, but I won't get into that.

After the dance break comes this line: '다 필요 없어 나와 손을 잡고, Run'. Which if I'm being honest is one of my favourite parts of the song. And then after that comes the line: 'Shh, Treasure'. Now I don't know about you guys but that is another iconic line if you ask me...

Finally, after the dance break, I guess, is the 'last verse' if you can call it that. I won't go into that part as there isn't a whole lot to it.

So, what did I think of this song as a whole? Well, I did not love it, but the song is slowly growing on me the more I listen to it.

THE CHOREOGRAPHY / PERFORMANCE

Okay, now for the choreography and performance for this song. So, first of all, what did I think of the choreography? Well, I actually like the choreography for this song. I enjoyed watching TREASURE performing and sometimes it was hard to believe that they just debuted. So, with that being said, here are my favourite parts.

Number One - The Dance Break

One of my favourite parts of this choreography is the dance break, it's just so aesthetically pleasing to watch.

Number Two - The Formations

So, this one is a bit weird, but sometimes, in groups with a large number of members, the formations can be weird and they can make the choreography look messy. However, in this choreography, I didn't see a problem with it. Despite there being 12 members in treasure, the formations were fine and the choreography did not look messy to me.

Number Three - The Intro

Finally, another one of my favourite parts of the choreography is the intro. I mean, just watch it. It's so satisfying to look at.

So, overall, I do like this choreography, although it's not one of my favourites I do like it.

Now for the performance. But first of all, please bear in mind that I am judging the performance from this video, and with the interesting camera work, it is a bit hard to see what's going on.

So, what did I think of the performance for this song? Well when watching the performance, I couldn't help but be impressed. Sometimes while watching the performance I forgot that this is literally TREASURE's debut song. I believe that the stage presence was there and I was also impressed that TREASURE could still sing live well whilst executing the choreography.

So, overall, I think that the performance of this song was really good, especially considering that TREASURE is a rookie group.

THE MUSIC VIDEO

Now for the music video, but first, if you haven't watched the music video, be sure to watch it above.

So, what did I think of this music video? Well, I actually quite like the music video for this song.

It's no surprise that YG makes some of the best K-Pop music videos, and I don't think that this music video is any different.

In this music video, we got our fair share of choreography and visuals, which I'm fine with. Also, this music video has it's darker scenes and it's more 'bright' scenes if that makes sense. So, with that being said, here are my favourite parts of this music video.

Number One — This Scene

In this music video, there are a lot of scenes that I like, but this one is one of my favourites. The colours and the outfit in this scene go together so well, I had to include it.

Number Two — This Scene

Another one of my favourite parts in this music video is this scene. It may seem like I'm just picking out the various different sets in this music video, but I do genuinely like this one a lot. It's a nice change from all of the 'darker' scenes we got in this music video.

Number Three — Shh, Treasure

The last of my favourite parts in this music video that I'm going to be talking about is, of course, the 'Shh, Treasure' line. I loved that part in the song and I love it in the music video as well.

So overall, this music video is very high quality, and I really enjoyed it.

WHO OWNED THIS SONG?

Okay, so if you read my note at the beginning, you would not that I'm not familiar with the members of TREASURE. And because of this, I don't think it's right for me to say who owned this song (especially since I won't be able to) so I'll leave it up to the viewers. Make sure to vote down below in the poll for who you thought owned this song!

MY OVERALL RATING

Finally, what is my overall rating for this song? I definitely did not love everything about this song, but I think it's a strong debut song. So overall, I give this song a 7/10. Tell me what you guys think in the comments section below.

And that brings me to the end of my review, I hope you enjoyed it, and with that being said,

Stay Safe,

Ciao xx
