I’ve listened to Savage like over a thousand times by now but somehow never noticed some sounds like the ‘baby crying’ sound. I searched for it in the song and it’s such a nice little addition, will look forward to it whenever I listen to Savage!

This is very common tho. Songs were produced and made and they're not always gonna be released at the time of production. Sometimes SM just kept all those songs for future release to see which artists can use it in the future. For example, Red Velvet's Zimzalabim was produced in 2016 around the same time as Russian Roulette and there were debate whether it should be in their EP at the time Another example is that, not all songs made with certain artists in mind are gonna end up with that song. NCT DREAM Chewing Gum and EXO Ko Ko Bop was originally for Red Velvet

It is the least surprising thing ever to hear that SM will have a team make a song then randomly have some other producer make a part (like the bridge) on his/her own and then they just use it. Lol. That's how you end up with these Kpop songs (esp SM songs) that sound like 3-4 different songs pieced together into one song.

What I love about this is that they piece together songs and OWN IT. Sure, there are elements that definitely makes you think like "Oh, this sounds like an SM song" but it's so distinct for one group which makes it unique. Lately, a lot of 4th Gen sounds quite similar to some other groups already existing. It is kinda disappointing coz a lot of the idols really have good vocal styles but it's being wasted by the company's choice of music.

I love how we are getting interviews like this one with the producers. Want to know more about the process in most Kpop songs.

SPECIAL props to the crazy sick talent of Lazy Ace Dia (Coulton Burge) for his editing! Love how his work is so seamless & amplifies the fun vibe so much!

I have to say I am really impressed that for a group where lore is the key point of the songs the producers have had all this freedom to work. Normally you'd expect the top SM producer to handle everything, but he didn't and he just created a small part. And with the great success of the song they know how to make good decisions.

YYYYYEEEEES, I KNEW IT I KNEW IT KNEW IT, I INEW SAVAGE BY AESPA IS DEFINITELY INSPIRED BY SOPHIE’S MUSIC (ESPECIALLY HER SONG « HARD »), AND I AM SO HAPPY THAT BIG KPOP PRODUCERS ARE INSPIRED BY HER

Thank you for continuing to do these interviews with producer crews (and to Jia, Tay, and Kirsten for giving you their time)! I don’t have much of a music background, but this series has given me so much more appreciation for the work and complexities that go into creating music! I’ve found myself picking up some of the producing hallmarks of some of the producers you’ve interviewed, or at least checking credits and noticing trends. It makes me appreciate what I listen to even more! ❤️

This interview makes me appreciate the song more. Thank you for this cool song!!! amma go have listen party to the song again

SM started the song writing camp in KPOP and has been the gateway for western artists to produce awesome music!!! SM will always be the blueprint. Cant wait for AESPA’s next album!

Just sitting here and listening to these geniuses talk about what they do best is SO satisfying, thank you so much!

As a Korean and light listener of Kpop, this is really cool and educational(?) for me to understand the producing process of songs from one of the major Kpop entermaintment companies! I've been always wondering how SM and other companies get to create a title track with non-Korean(or Kpop )songwriters and this is it!!
