After their previous comeback, Oh My God, the group (G)I-DLE decided to come back with a Summer concept in their newest song, Dumdi Dumdi. But what did I think of this song? Let's find out.

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

THE SONG

So first of all, what did I think of this song? Well, I actually quite liked it from the beginning. It started with a unique melody and the song started with Soyeon's singing. So recently, I did a review of Hyoyeon's Dessert which Soyeon was featured in, and she also started the song singing, so I think it's nice that Soyeon has been singing as well as rapping because I do really like her singing voice.

After Soyeon starts off the song, Yuqi and Soojin continue the verse. Something that I've noticed about this song (and (G)I-DLE's music in general) is that everyone's voices are so different and so distinct. That's something that I really like about this song, everyone's voices are really different but yet they go together so well. However, one of my favourite voices in (G)I-DLE is Yuqi's voice. I love her deep and husky voice, as it's quite unique and it's something that we don't see in K-Pop often.

After the verses comes the pre-chorus. The pre-chorus is one of my absolute favourite parts of this song. I honestly don't know why I love it so much, but I think one reason is that it sounds really nostalgic. I don't know if I'm the only one who feels this way, but that part of the song and even the whole song is very nostalgic for me.

After the pre-chorus, finally, is the chorus. This is also one of my favourite parts of the song. My favourite part of the chorus has got to be the first half because I really love Miyeon's voice, and plus, the chorus is one of the most catchy/memorable parts of the song. The second half of the chorus I do like but not as much. I think the reason for this is probably the lack of lyrics, and at first, I was a bit confused by the sudden chanting of 'Dumdi Dumdi'. But that part has grown on me. And honestly, I don't know what I was expecting when the title of the song is literally 'Dumdi Dumdi'.

I guess the sudden increase of K-Pop songs with onomatopoeia for titles was a bit overwhelming for me. But I digress.

After the chorus came the rap part, and this part I was not the biggest fan of. I felt like the rap part was a bit sudden and it didn't really fit with the rest of the song that well. However, I did like it when the rap started turning into a 'song' if that makes any sense at all. But the rap has grown on me, and it's only short anyway.

Afterwards is the verses and pre-chorus again, however, I will mention that I love Yuqi's voice in the pre-chorus. (But I won't go on again.) Then after comes the chorus and finally the bridge.

The bridge is definitely not my favourite part of the song, but it there isn't anything wrong with it, I just don't like it as much as I love other parts.

After the bridge is I guess, 'the last verse', which is basically (G)I-DLE saying the title of the song over and over again. And not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's not my cup of tea, I'll say that.

Now, before I close off this section all say a brief word about the line distribution. So, I don't have anything against the line distribution because I believe that whoever is making should know what they're doing. However, in almost every comeback Shuhua has got little to no lines, which is a little bit discouraging/ upsetting for fans. But, apparently, Shuhua does not mind and/or likes having not a lot of lines, so I shouldn't complain. However, I would love to see Shuhua getting more lines in the future.

So, overall, there are some parts of this song that I like a lot more than others, however, I do like the whole song.

THE CHOREOGRAPHY / PERFORMANCE

Now for the choreography and performance for this song. So, first of all, what did I think of the choreography? Well, if I'm being honest, I don't really like the choreography for this song. I don't know what it is about the choreo for this song in particular, but it just isn't my cup of tea. In my opinion, there aren't any overly memorable parts in this choreography except for the choreography for the chorus part. This is probably the first time I've really disliked a choreography, and I've tried to like it, but unfortunately, I can't. So, since I don't love the choreography, let's move onto the performance for this song.

So, what did I think of the performance for this song? Well for this part, I actually have something good to say. So, while watching a few performance videos for this song, I can see that the members seem to be really enjoying themselves, in this performance especially. And the fact that the members are enjoying the performance makes me enjoy it a bit more — if I ignore the choreography.

Also, another thing that I will point out is that I believe the girls have really improved in their dancing, I think the people that stood out the most because of this would be Shuhua and Miyeon. Compared to other (G)I-DLE releases, in this song, Miyeon and Shuhua's dancing looks a lot better, and in my eyes, they look more confident.

So, overall, I don't like the choreography for this song, but I acknowledge the fact that (G)I-DLE's dancing has improved, and that they enjoyed performing this song.

THE MUSIC VIDEO

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

So, what did I think of the music video? Well, I can certainly say that it is a bit different from other music videos that I've seen.

It starts off with text that is down below.

After that, it seems to show off the 'stories' of each of the members of (G)I-DLE. Then finally, after around 1 minute, the song starts.

To be honest, although the song takes a while to start in the music video, I quite like it, because it's something that I haven't really seen before, and it's as if the music video tells a story.

So, with that being said, here are my favourite parts of the music video.

Number One - The Retro Vibe

So, I'm not sure if Retro is the right way to describe this music video, but that's the only word I think works.

Dumdi Dumdi is a summer song, and it does have its Summer elements in the music video, but I really like the retro theme of some parts in this music video.

Number Two - The 'Closeness' of (G)I-DLE

Another one of my favourite parts in this music video is the fact the (G)I-DLE looked so close in the music video.

This may sound weird, but one thing that I noticed in the music video was that the members of (G)I-DLE all looked like they were enjoying themselves and having fun, which made the music video very enjoyable to watch.

Number Three - This Outfit

So, of course, I cannot write a review without talking about my favourite outfit. And my favourite outfit from this music video is the one above.

I'm not sure why I love this outfit so much, but I just do. I especially love the top and Minnie's hair together.

So overall, my thoughts on this music video are that I love the vibe and aesthetic of this music video and that I like how the music video almost tells a story.

WHO OWNED THIS SONG?

So, it's been quite a while since I've done this part of my revies, since recently I've reviewed a lot of Solo artists, however, I think that the person who owned this song is;

Miyeon.

So, I don't think it should come as a surprise that I think Miyeon owned this song. In this song, everyone was celebrating that Miyeon was finally treated like the main vocalist in this song, Miyeon got to sing the chorus and part of the bridge, and she was second in the line distribution.

Overall, I am very happy that Miyeon was able to finally show off her vocals in this song.

So that brings me to the end of my review, and with that being said,

Stay Safe,
