The story goes that while practicing this song, they were messing around and sung it a cappella. It was so good that they kept it. EXO is known for their a cappella sessions. If you haven’t already, check out their version of Journey’s Open Arms. There’s also a couple fan compilation of “EXO actually said no mic, no problem” spontaneous singing abilities. Enjoyed your reaction! kzread.info/dash/bejne/fIGJpqWMca2_lqg.html

I love it when people react to those.

Originally the song didn't have the acapella part, but they were having fun in the studio and liked it so much they decided to keep it.

EXO is just on another level...This is a testament to their Production Level, Vocal level....Just EXO being EXO...

I'm always here for EXO❤❤❤

The indescribable joy of seeing people react to this for the first time 😊

It's so easy to be EXO's fan. You don't need to compromise on anything. Because they all are top vocalists they can pull off any genre and 99% of their discography are certified bangers, anyone can find their favorite songs by EXO: ballads, x-mas songs, a wedding song, 70/80/90/00's sound... You name it, EXO or their soloists have it. And the fact that in S.Korea they're dubbed as the "group with no visual hole" adds to their superiority (they were handsome since the day they were born, their childhood photos are even cuter than they are now). The only good thing SM Ent did - put them all into one group, they're a phenomenon and history makers.

U know, the b-sides from this album are also crushing it!!! Im pretty sure u will love Sign, Gravity, Damage, Ooh La La La, 24/7!!! I wouldnt mind reactions to these too!! Hahah! Love your reactions! Thank u for loving EXO!!! 🧡🧡

EXO is a group with much versatility

Glad you loved it as much as we do 😊. Excited to see exo reactions more often! Let us know when you become an exol if you haven't already 🤍😂

EXO is awesome all the times, their MV is perfect and their live performance is speechless

i'm so glad eris have been welcoming to you!! every fandom has its dark side, so i'm very happy you're seeing the best of us 😅😅

It's so great to see You're enjoying discovering EXO Getting to know EXO is just an Awesome experience All their B-Sides are just too amazing Hope You Enjoy diving deeper into their amazing discography All their Full length Albums are top tier but Don't Mess Up My Tempo and EX'ACT are my favourites These two and EXODUS are just..too powerful

They dont need the beat. the beat needs them.❤❤ Kings.👑👑

I get excited everytime, when KZread reactors discover EXO and they go deep everytime they react to a song like there's no turning back, then ending up becoming Exo fans 😂😂😂 welcome to exo planet

EXO - Another great song, Thanks for your reactions and comments, always watching your reactions, EXO- MAMA is an amazing song, one of the best, in my view, Enjoy your journey 💜

The aca paella part is what has amazed people, fans and non fans, when this song dropped. Me too! Thanks Ross. My vocal guys can rock big time. 💙🌺

As you may have seen in the comments, the legendary acapella part in this song was a result of the members just messing around in the recording booth and producers loved it so much they kept it. Absolutely have to see them do this LIVE! Also very much worth checking out Recording Behind the Scenes for Cream Soda and Hear Me Out… then you will really see our guys at work and how they direct each other and the versatility and professionalism they have to get the best sound for each song!!! They are simply unmatched

👏🏿 👏🏿 Once is never enough!! That's our EXO!! 😍 😍. I am a proud EXOL, I love it when our KINGS get love. Thank you for a beautiful reaction. ❤🇿🇦

Tour de force, right? Definitely one of their most layered and complex title tracks and b-sides are just amazing. The confidence they displayed on this album still blows me away 5 years later :)

I agree with you 100% about the Michael Jackson vibes. I am in my forties and I grew up listening to him. I absolutely adore EXO. This is one of the reasons why. Aside from the fact that they're all adorable little beans. Thank you for the fun reaction.

I love watching a reactor first get into EXO. They are pretty good.

I've said this before plenty of times, but I discovered EXO around Monster/Lucky One era. I was still relatively new to K-Pop in general, and I enjoyed their stuff, but the Tempo acapella was the moment I knew I was officially EXO-L.

The song is called "Tempo" and the album is named Don't Mess Up My Tempo, so, the tempo is intentionally a prominent part of the song. I think the tempo is also supposed to mirror the uncertainty and unsteadiness that EXO are feeling within the storyline in the MV and be the driving force spurring them on in the story. However, if you read the lyrics, you see that in the song they are talking to a girl and they are telling her, "Don't mess up my tempo." And yes, part of the tempo in the song is created by the squeak of what is thought to be bed springs. (The underlying theme of the song is a tongue and cheek reference to sexual innuendo.) On the surface, the song and MV is meant to be enjoyed by the casual watcher and listener like you would any song on the radio, but if you want to delve in deeper and explore EXO's storyline, then there is so much more going on. As an SM Entertainment group, it shouldn't be a surprise that EXO are amazing vocalists -- hence the acapella part in the song. Fun fact: There wasn't supposed to be an acapella section in the song. The members were just messing around in the recording studio riffing with each other and the sound engineer loved it so much that they decided to put it in the song. To understand the choices being made in this song and the story in the MV, you have to be aware that everything EXO is involved in, and I literally mean almost everything, is connected in some way to their concept and storyline. EXO's MVs are kind of like a movie -- it's a movie that has been going on for the past 11+ years -- since pre-debut -- and it has no sign of coming to an end any time soon. You need to know that from day one, EXO's concept is that they are aliens from planet Exo and they came to Earth with superpowers to protect the Tree of Life from the evil Red Forces. As otherworldly beings, each of the members has a superpower that is unique to them. The aesthetic of the "Tempo" MV is centered around the color red because the setting is supposed to be depicting the members under the Red Forces' control. Without going into too much detail -- there is so much going on in EXO's "Tempo" MV that it's hard to grasp it all -- what fan theories think is happening in "Tempo" is it's showing the members of EXO all trapped in separate dimensions. Each of those rooms, could possibly be a different dimension and that is why you see the glitches and why you hear Xiumin and Baekhyun with that computerized voice, because they aren't all in the same place at the same time, so their voices are being distorted as they try to connect between dimensions, etc. They also still could be trapped in different rooms within the maze, like what we see them in their "Overdose" MVs. For several of EXO's MVs we believe they are still trapped within the maze and they are continuously trying to find their way out. The maze seems to affect their connection to their powers and it clouds their minds and dulls their senses, so not only are they fighting the Red Force and X-EXO, but they are also struggling to break free from the fog the Red Force has them in. That's why you see some of the members just lazily sitting around and kind of blankly staring off into space at times. Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in the MV and he is the one standing above everything looking down, so this is one example of where we think that maybe he is the only one who has avoided the Red Force's control and he is observing everything that is going on from the outside. You see Chanyeol being interrogated by Chen with the inkblot test and that is thought to be the members trying to figure out who are the real EXO members and who are the evil X-EXO members created by the Red Force -- or who are the real members and who are the clones. At this point everyone is suspicious of each other and no one can be trusted. Also notice how the inkblot looks like it's shaped like a butterfly. The butterfly is also an important part of SM's Culture universe storyline. We see a butterfly in EXO's debut "Mama" MVs in 2012, which is thought to be connected to the colorful butterfly that is Ningnig's symbol in aespa's story, so you will see it all the time in aespa's MVs starting in 2020 as she navigates through the digital world. You also will see a butterfly appear in several of SM's other groups' MVs, which is often used as a metaphor to represent a woman -- possibly representing a connection to the heart of the Tree of Life from EXO's storyline -- in each of the MVs, as a way to connect all of SM's storylines together. For example, there is also a white butterfly in NCT-127's "Favorite (Vampire)" MV from 2021, which is meant to represent the "vampire" woman that they are singing about, and it's even thought it could be connected to the white butterfly in SHINee's "Ring Ding Dong" MV from 2009. It also could be the white butterfly that helps aespa navigate through Kwangya in aespa's "aespa ep. 2 'Next Level' - SM Culture Universe" video in 2022, which would explain why we see a similar butterfly in all of SM's storylines. The butterfly appears to help everyone as they travel through Kwangya. (Everything SM does has to do with Kwangya -- even SM's new building where everything is created and produced is called Kwangya. Kwangya is the metaverse that all of SM's groups' and artists' concepts, and most of their MV storylines revolve around.) Therefore, the butterfly inkblot could be used as a way to try and break the control the Red Force has over them and to remind them of the fact that they need to find their way out of the maze and to not forget what their mission is, etc. As you may have noticed, halfway through the MV Chanyeol's eyes and hair change color, so some think that this is either showing two different versions of Chanyeol who appear in two different time periods or dimensions, or one is Chanyeol the EXO member and one is Chanyeol the X-EXO clone. Often, when you see a character in one of SM's MVs with blue eyes or different eye colors this usually means they are not who they appear to be. The silhouettes you see behind the lighted white wall or box also could be connected to the silhouettes you will see when you watch EXO's live remixed version of their song "Wolf" in concert. The silhouettes could represent the fact that EXO are battling with X-EXO for control. (And, now, it also could be connected to the silhouettes we see behind the white wall in SHINee's new "Hard" MV.) The "Chess game" is thought to be supernatural EXO chess, and I don't think it's a game they are playing, but I think maybe it's something they are using to try to decipher a clue or figure out a way out of wherever the Red Force has them trapped at the moment. It's unclear right now what that scene is really telling us, but I have a feeling, things will become clearer in the future as more of EXO's storyline is unveiled in future MVs and as SM's SM Culture Universe storyline continues to evolve. At one point you see them take those "chess" pieces and put them together to form a larger cube shape, which is thought could possibly be a model of the maze in which they are trapped in. And I think this also may be connected to the cube/labyrinth maze we see floating in the air in WayV's "Love Talk" MV in 2019 and the similar cube we see blocking aespa's way as they travel through Kwangya in aespa's ep. 2 video. And I think it might even be connected to the labyrinth cube we see SHINee's Key standing on top of in his solo "Gasoline" MV in 2022. (Baekhyun and Kai from EXO, Taemin from SHINee, Taeyong and Mark from NCT, Ten from WayV and Lucas who is a former member of WayV, are all members of the Kpop supergroup SuperM, which I think is why SM is creating connections between all of their groups' storylines, because it's all part of the same story. Plus, everything aespa does is connected to the SM Culture Universe and is linked to EXO's/SuperM's storyline.) In SuperM's "One (Monster & Infinity)" MV, we see the members using a map to navigate through what is thought could be the maze that the EXO members are trapped in, as SuperM is coming to rescue EXO from the Red Force's control. And it could even have something to do with the fact that we see in SHINee's new teaser video for their Hard album, that they are also trying to solve a maze, which -- because SHINee's Taemin is a member of SuperM -- could possibly be SHINee trying to help EXO as well. We also see EXO's Sehun on the motorcycle in "Tempo", which I now think is connected to the scene where we see him driving a motorcycle in EXO's "Lightsaber" MV and sitting on the motorcycle in their "Don't Fight the Feeling" MV. In the very last scene in "Tempo", that is Baekhyun with that glass cube. I am not sure what that means, but I am sure it's foreshadowing something to come in the future with EXO's storyline, and it probably has something to do with the fact that Baekhyun is the one that is singled out in most of EXO's storyline. (We also see Chanyeol with a glass cube similar to the one Baekhyun has, in their "Love Shot" MV.) Fun fact No. 2: EXO's Chinese member, Lay, is in this MV, but you won't see or hear him sing or dance because you watched the Korean version, and at this time, because of the political issues between China and Korea, the Chinese government only gave him permission to appear in the Korean version of "Tempo", but he wasn't allowed to participate in the song. If you want to hear Lay sing you will have to watch the Mandarin version.

After this song, I became exol. Thanks for reaction

Glad you are enjoying the kings. They are unique.

Speechless? Tempo gets you like that first time. EXO don't follow trends - they make them. I could be wrong, but I don't remember anyone trying to cover Tempo in full. There are other singers capable of the control and range, but no other group has the depth of vocal talent that EXO has to handle the depth of complex harmonies. Loving the harmonies, you would probably love the b sides. Diamond is a good one, Oasis, Cosmic Railway ... Oh dear, so many. You might enjoy Ya, Ya, Ya also.

love your exo reactions so much, they are my favorite group and your energy is so sweet and welcoming and appreciating of the artists, that your channel is quickly becoming a source of comfort for my tiring days. thanks a lot for the reaction!

Thanks for reacting to this EXO masterpiece

If it's EXO you definitely don't expect anything less than greatness! No one can do that a capella bridge just like EXO.

Exo - gravity, the eve, chill, touch live performance süper

It's always their vocal, vocal kings indeed. Thank you for your reaction Sir❤️ more of EXO's in the future

Absolutely one of my favorite EXO title tracks! ❤❤❤

All musics in this album are surreal. Enjoy 😁

What a song, what vocals, what a group. EXO

Thank you so much for reacting to EXO! They are amazingly talented!

Thank you so much I was smiling the whole time I really love your reactions when you're listening to EXO you can never hide how you truly amaze with them and I love that.. I'm always so happy and proud whenever I watch how you react to EXO coz they deserved all that ❤

EXO is EXO, the best! Thanks for the reaction!

EXO ❤ ❤️‍🔥tks for your reaction

The live is even better you need to check it out. Exo is known to do thie own little thing in the studio, mess around and end up with great music and tempo was no exception the acapella part wasn't even in the original version of the song but magic happened in the studio and it stayed our hearing pleasure 😂 Thanks for another exciting reaction you honestly make it even more fun. Can't wait for more.

Acapella part from tempo is killing me

If ever you want to check out their clips of their live concert, i recommend checking out mama+wolf+monster and more... they sold out the fastest concert tickets of all time beating their own record. I am just too proud of EXO.. ❤😂

La tan Iconica Tempo, y pensar que el acapella, ellos sólo estaban jugando y el productor decidió agregarlo, gracias por la reacción y disfrutar tanto como nosotros de EXO

Great reaction Ross! If you love Tempo I'm sure you're gonna love Lucky One. The production is insane in that one!

He didn't say Michael Jackson , he said "The Great Gatsby (is watching)" 😊 Funny enough Tempo is the first exo mv with subtitles and you didn't use them😅 You probably will like to see the behind the scenes for their recordings of "hear me out" and "cream soda"

Thank you…More more Exo please!❤❤❤

Me gustó tu reacción a TEMPO,me alegro que lo disfrutes,si es así se cumple el objetivo de los chicos de EXO que siempre les dicen a Exo-L: disfrutar la música 😊

The song that got me into K-pop!!!! ❤

❤our VOCAL KINGS

I cried the first 50 times I heard Tempo, because it's so majestic. The song is a masterpiece. No other song that could combine so many elements (90s RnB, Daft Punk style of music, pop, rap, acapella) into one song and make it as perfect as Tempo.

Tempo and Love Shot blew the k-pop world apart. They were hugely successful and everyone and their mum covered Love Shot. I haven't seen any covers of Tempo though, I don't think there are many groups that could pull it off. They were Exo's last comebacks before the members started enlisting.

New exo fan .... ?😂😂 EXO always be the best ... be happy and successful with your youtube channel ... I'm waiting for the next reaction

I love your react so muchh please do more of exo especially their live stage because it is better 😂.. 1. Diamond+coming over+run this+drop that+power 2. Mama+monster+wolf (exordium japan because of the full group) 3. Intro+the eve+forever 4. White noise+thunder+playboy+artificial love 5. El dorado (seoul perfomance becouse i prefer the full group) 6. Lightsaber (exordium japan) And exo ladder Exo showtime Funny moments etc...

Finally I been waiting you to hear and react to EXO Tempo their vocal here is insane 😘👌. Fyi even EXO B sides are all good like Gravity, Sweet Lies, damage. But if you want to react live concert performance here are some of their insane performance link here kzread.info/dash/bejne/pqGpt7F6fMiboMY.html. I enjoy your reation.

tempo is Exo's hardest song, and EXO admits that

Best group ✨

Tempo adalah lagu yang membawa saya menjadi EXOL 🥰 Btw EXO mengeluarkan video Recording Behind The Scenes..Hear Me Out dan Cream Soda..saya harap kamu bisa mereaksinya.. Terimakasih untuk videonya 😊

Typical of Exo members goofing around,, "Let's warm up our vocal chords guys". Results in one of THE best and memorable parts of the song..💁‍♀️

Baekhyun - un village 🙃

For a live performance by EXO, I recommend Gravity. It shows their stage presence and showmanship: kzread.info/dash/bejne/opeb0MeznKqYp7A.html

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED PRE DEBUT SONG "WHAT IS LOVE" & DEBUT SONG "MAMA"

White Noise/Thunder/Playboy/Artificial Love Live performance. Wolf MV and and Liver performance. Lightsaber Live performance. Tell me what is love and Miracles in December MV's. ALSO HISTORY and MAMA MV's

Tempo is such a unique song, other groups who cover this song usually left out the Acapella part cause only Exo can pull it off. By the way he didn't say Michael Jackson but Great Gatsby. The song actually has subtitles available so you can try them on when listening it next time. I would like to recommend EXO's Mama (both Exo-K and Exo-M versions cause both are necessary), Call me baby, Growl, History (both Exo-K and Exo-M version), Monster, The Eve, Lucky One (performance video is better).

Next check out kai and baekhyun's solo
