The piano part at 2:50 that Kevin mentions is a callback to IU’s first big hit, Good Day. In the beginning of the second verse, a string section plays the same chord progression as that piano part in Lilac. She also had a callback to Ending Scene in her song My Sea off this album as well. It seems she and her producers intentionally sprinkled in these breadcrumbs, seeing as this album is her bidding her past goodbye.

yes!! that’s a perfect way to describe it, “shiny and spring-like” i couldn’t have said it better :)
IU's music feels like Ghibli films to me, it feels like magic, I think that's why it was so easy for me to fall in love with it, it's a world you want to visit, to live in even.

IU never disappoints and just keeps getting better as an artist, looking forward to what she will do in her 30s!!!

IU is just such an amazing artist, from the lyricism, the interpretation, the content and even the color! lilac is so on trend this year, she is in the moment but at the same time she does her own unique thing. When I heard this for the first time I knew I wanted a reaction from rttK!
Now, Coin by IU next. You have no choice.

I can't believe IU is 28 already, I feel old
3:58 My heart always clenchs during this part because it’s the same exact animation as her tribute to Sulli and Jonghyun, “Eight” feat./prod. Suga. Because she’s been through so much through her career - her battle with an eating disorder, hate comments, having a dating scandal, and having her whole life seemingly in front of the world.
As if I didn't LOVE this song already, you guys always give me more reasons why I love it
IU's musicality has been cemented for a long time now so as a fan what got me excited here the most was them indirectly praising her acting 😭 IU the musician and Lee Jieun the actress never disappoints
this song kinda has a similar feeling to the fifth season it's so fairy like
Omg that ending though, man after my own heart
@amaracruentus2922

If you were amazed by IU's acting here, try watching Eight if you havent yet 😊 Her expressions were solid there too
And it was played in h&m store in Sweden. That was a surprise to me 😍
5:20 'Bye-lac train' She actually released two versions for this album, HILAC and BYLAC.
I think we can all agree that this album deserves album of the year.
I honestly enjoyed IU's LILAC because of it's refreshing vibe. IU's vocals really never fail to amaze me.
Jason’s voiceover describing the ending was so funny. That’s what was missing from this mv, I would hire him if I was iu 🤣
This song grows on me. The more I listen to it, the more I realise the richness (i don’t know if this is the right term) of the instruments. The mv truly captured the lyrics and what the song tries to convey. So, for me this is another one whole genius package of IU’s work, the song itself, IU’s vocal, the music arrangement, the mv, the dance, and ofcourse IU’s presence. everything is amazing!!!
You can always trust IU to deliver emotions on top of musically interesting songs again and again and again!
Ohh man!! It's good to see Jarod and Daniel back. They're really missed.
Honestly the moment I heard this song I haven't let it go... Her voice.. The funk... And as they said it A feels like a constant falling of lilac petals .. This song is honestly God tier eargazm funk
Everything about IU IS SOOOOOO Artistic 🥺😍 I love that every single thing that she does ; has beautiful and deep meaning in behind of that🌸🌱
IU is a type of artist you can dream of. IU's songs is dreamy.
Since getting into IU's music earlier this year, she has become one of my favorite singers, right up there with Wendy from Red Velvet and Bruce Dickinson(Iron Maiden). "Lilac" is one of my favorite songs, it is beautifully sung(like all her music), has a nice funky bass, and the music video is truly wonderful. I love the bit at the beginning where she "learns" the choreography, and that smile at the end sends shivers down my spine every time I see it. Great video as always! Keep up the good work!
y'all can have your faves, but IU tops every 👏 single 👏 one 👏 with her powerful MIND... she's not just singing to a song, she creates pure and complex ART.
There are plenty of things that make her adorable but she's really professional in a way that sets her apart in kpop land,
KEVIN DID THE SVT THROWBACK as if there wasn’t any more reason to love kevin. with the little self satisfied nod afterwards. bless

IUs voice is addictive
후우 좋당 평소 생각없이 듣던 부분이 의도하고 만든 것이란걸, 전문적인 평가로 알 수 있어서 너무 좋은 거 같아요 :-)
YASSS IU's supremacy still going strong
OH MY GOD UMU!! THIS IS LITERALLY MY FAVOURITE SONG OF THE YEAR NO ONE CAN CHANGE THAT THANK YOU FOR REACTING TO THIS!!!!!
Loved seeing Jarod and Daniel here again! They brought me so much laughter with their interpretations trying to make it sound deep haha Also loved the editing at the end Umu!!
4:10 as a uaena and carat, i felt butterflies in my stomach when kevin remembered adore u from seventeen!!
I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of that Adore U moment immediately when I first heard this song!! I thought I was crazy because no one else ever pointed it out lol, thank you Kevin.
I love how you all connect the music to the lyrics and the music video!
It’s been such a journey being her fan for half my life TT she’s come so far and I feel honored to have been around for most of it!!
YES, I'm so glad Kevin pointed out the similarity to SVT's Adore U, it's the only thing that comes to mind when listening to Lilac.
Love your reactions for IU as always - finally!!!! :) Yes this song really sounds like spring and lilac itself with her airy light vocals etc. Thanks!
Can we appreciate the edit and how explained technical terms and pointed out instrumentals Thank you ❤
the editing of this reaction video makes this much more knowledgeable 💜 you appreciate the artist's music and everything much moreee
Owen and Kevin's comment is so technical and I LOVE IT!!!!
Great reaction! I'm learning a lot from you guys 😊 thank you! IU is the best artist 💜
This song is truly beautiful, IU deserves all the love in this world and I am so glad y'all reacted to this!! Hope you react to Coin or Celebrity (or both) next 🥰
I've been waiting for this reaction!! 😍
I love this song and you explaining it makes me realize why I love it so much :D
i love jarod seeing his face is just so comforting ever since I watched his reaction to day6 where he cried hahahahah
Finally!!!!!! I was waiting for this!!! This song is a perfection and knew you would like it!’n
Really like Stephanie's comment about going from spring to summer. I'm in my early 30's and it sounded so true and it really resonated for me. Thanks for that.
I really like when you actually talk about the composition! Do more of that please! particularly the top line! and the more y'all go over to the piano to illustrate the better!!!
It's really good because it's different from other reaction videos. Each professionally interprets it from a different perspective, which is very beneficial.
I'm gonna listen to it alot tomorrow because it's gonna be the first day of spring 🌷
Jason really concetrated talking about the song and instruments and on the other side there's Ju Young dancing 😂 Also, the bonus scene of him talking about the last scene of the mv was hilarious "Smile!"
I love this song, absolutely adore it and it will forever be my fav
2:50 Ive listened to lilac so many times but I only noticed this when Kevin mentioned it and went back to listen to it again... and as I recognized the melody it really gave me goosebums 😭 oh god I love this detail
The way they admired both Artist IU and Actress IU in this MV!! YASS that stare at the end!! 💜💜💜
Omg i love the reactors reacting to IU cuz IUs songs are so musical done well plus vocals
FINALLY!! Thank you guys for reacting to this song.
I was waiting for this!!!!!! I love your dissection of musical component!! 'Liliac' is saying goodbye to her youth, her early careers up to now - her debut age to her 20's - as an artist. And the new train is the new beginning as an artist as she enters her 30's Please do her song 'coin', another song from the same album!!
Piano in verse 2 should be a reference to Good Day man i love this song so much
Oh Jarod .... missed you so much... good to see your cute smile again.. Thank you Umu for having him there... thanks a million..
Every songs of IU are masterpiece
That was the good day melody chime in the train fight scene played at the back😍
I love your reviews!!! Makes me listen to the songs in a new way
Lol that guy piecing things together at the end with the spring metaphor and Lilac being IU's final greeting to her 20s is probably me to all of her poetically written lyrics which made my head went BOOM
I can’t explain how much I love this song it’s so pretty
what a beautiful beautiful reaction and analysis!!!
It's pretty cute that you dropped this on, for us here in this part of the world, the first day of Spring.
IU will release her new digital Single on October 19 with a title of Strawberry Moon. She will release it at 12.00 am korean time coz that's the time strawberry Moon will come out.
4:11 *that reminded me of svt too the first time i listened to lilac, lmao kevin*
OH MY GOD OH MY GOD I NEED TO SCREAM THE "FINALLY" WORD FIRST..FINAAAAALLYYYY yeay
Been waiting for thisss omgggg thankyouuuu! IU-Coin MV next pls🙏🏻
Im surprised they went for this instead of reacting to "Coin"! Thank you for the video! ☺️
IU never disappoints! I really like this song a lot! 💜
I'm living for everyone's adorable air guitar gestures.
so i just watched this video a few hours ago at first i didnt think much but now a few hours later after i watched like 15 to 20 videos more i am totally in love with this channel like i dont know much about music theory or whatever i just played the recorder once and was in a choir but for some reason i love when you guys explain some shit and i dont understand a thing but it still sounds so interesting and cool you also get so excited sometimes about diffrent things while explaining something that you think sounds cool and that just brightens my mood im so happy i clicked on this video today and dicovered this channel
Appreciated the song so much more after watching this. KUDOS!
Thanks so much for the reaction 🙏
I really love all the beat song in lilac album : troll, ah puh, coin, lilac...all really great
Yes… thankyou for React IU Song Again 🥰
Finally, this song 😭😭 my fav songgggg
