The return of ITZY with the first English pre-release single on Friday, October 21, 2022, disappointed fans. The single titled ' Boys Like You ' made MIDZY (ITZY's fan) enthusiastic when it was first announced through a teaser uploaded by JYP Entertainment as the agency, but after its release it reaped debate from listeners. So what made fans disappointed with ITZY's comeback this time? Check out the facts!
Similarity in Concept from Previous Comeback
This comeback is enough to make MIDZY think about the similarity in concept from the previous comeback . On July 15, 2022, ITZY released the mini album CHECKMATE with the main song 'Sneakers'. Fans found similarities from the previous comeback which carried the 'Disney' theme with a cheerful song and a cute concept, considering that ITZY's previous concept focused on girl crush and had a strong image. Not a few fans claim that the ITZY concept this time is boring, and doesn't reflect ITZY as usual.
Similarities Found to Taylor Swift 's Song 'Love Story'
Behind this ear-catching song, he found a resemblance to Taylor Swift's song 'Love Story'. This resemblance caused debate among netizens. In fact, 'Boys Like You' has five music publishers, one of which is Big Machine Records. This label is Swift's old label where the 'Anti-Hero' singer released 'Love Story' for the first time, before being re-recorded into 'Love Story (Taylor's Version)'. Therefore, it is most likely that 'Boys Like You' took samples from the song 'Love Story' legally.
ITZY is a girl group under the auspices of JYP Entertainment that has succeeded in giving a new breakthrough in the K-Pop world through energetic songs and explosive choreography, as well as self-love lyrics and high self-confidence. The debut song is 'DALLA DALLA,' then ITZY released the next song, namely 'ICY' WANNABE,' 'In The Morning,' to 'SNEAKERS'.
In addition to popularizing albums and singles, ITZY has also succeeded in making their choreography a trend on social media, even though their dance is quite difficult. Although ITZY is currently playing with many concepts and exploring new things, it is undeniable that all ITZY songs are masterpieces.
