The company actually had a different concept planned for them and they just went "nope" and chose the title track themselves, with doyeon planning the whole concept. She planned the teasers herself and pitched the MV concept to the director. Which only makes the fact that she injured herself right before the comeback the more heartbreaking. Also, you have to check out the stage for their b-side "Who am I" today on The Show, on patreon. Absolutely godly.

who am i is probably the concept fantagio is going for, especially after cool. who am i is a much more bolder concept as a follow up to to cool, and the choreo for who am i is just top-notch. altho i like that b-side and it's choreo, i had to agree with him that siesta showcases more of weme's vocals and it's more of their "sound"

I feel like Weki Meki just suffers from bad timing more than anything. Their songs are pretty diverse but none of them are bad, any of them deserved a #1 but they almost always come out at the time of a bigger group. I just want them to succeed!

Siesta is an s tier song for a K-pop group. Weki Meki never disappoints. At first, I thought the MV was a bit lacking, but knowing the facts on it and the actual song suits is so well. Give me a lot of western summer dance EDM type of MV vibes. Loved it, and it's a breath of fresh air. I hope they will finally break through. Because IMO, WeMe and Fromis are one of the k-pop gg groups with the most consistent sound and actually good discography. I never had one song from both groups that I didn't like, and they aren't even my ults.

Weki Meki should have become a big group ever since their debut because most of their title tracks are well known and loved in the K-pop community but they don’t get good promotion and generally have awful timing when having a comeback😭😭

Between the “boom boom fireworks” and scale vocalization during the chorus this is one of the most audibly pleasing songs of the year!

I like the fact that Weki Meki has "never found their sound." More kpop groups need that diversity. I'm also a casual listener, so the more diverse their title tracks are, the more people they can pull in depending on independent taste. If one song isn't for you, maybe another one is.

since doyeon fractured her wrist, the beautiful part that she sings in the beginning is covered by yoojung on stage ❤️ we hope to have all 8 members next promotions!

This song is reminscent to OMG to me in the best way, with their own WekiMeki twist. I think the sound really works for them.

yoojung only sings in this song, she has a very nice voice for a main rapper. if you want to hear more of her singing, i suggest "it wasn't me" by raiden ft yoojung, from raiden's recent album

Btw, the "Boom boom fireworks, Bo-boom bo-boom bo-boom bo-boom yeah!" Is one of my favourite lines ever, something about it feels so satisfying, as if they're mimicking the fireworks exploding

the only reactor who said it cleary the message what weme wants to tell us listeners 🥺🥺🥺 they thought about what's majority feels (especially the 20s people) as of this moment and came up with this inspirational song 🥰🥰🥰

Glad you mentioned the song is about sleeping and partying at the same time. Siesta means “nap” in spanish but the song is so festive and energetic you couldn’t give a better description.

it's been so long since weme released new music and this comeback feels like a long breath of fresh air in a very long time ❤️

Though I did like siesta since it's a well produced song and it's quite easy to listen to, personally I think it doesn't quite compare to their other title tracks, especially since it's the follow up to cool, but maybe I also just expected a little bit more since their hiatus was so long That being said, I'm still happy that they finally came back since I missed them quite a bit and I did really like the bsides in this album, especially Who am I, you should definitely check out their performance to that song, it's really good!!

I feel the same. I like Siesta but Cool is one of my favorite Weki Meki title tracks and Siesta did kind of feel like a let down? I mean it’s cute but… doesn’t stand a chance.

13:56 It is doyeon both in the video AND singing!! Truly, Weki Meki did so, SO well in this mini album, their vocals are amazing!!!

When the song goes “every day Monday to Friday is the same” I felt that SO HARD and idk I felt very emotional on my first listen/watch. I absolutely think this could be a song about emerging from COVID’s worst times, about reenergizing ourselves after such a long and hard time, about that moment of deciding to keep going again and I absolutely love it.

wow, I loved your interpretation of the lyrics. I also got to thinking about the same thing when I saw the lyrics for the first time, actually the lyrics of siesta are very hopeful and when I listen to it feels like a hug from a very special and dear friend that i received in a hard time ♡

I would like to see a Listening party for this album, either here or on patreon. Since this is your favorite Weki Meki title track the rest of the album will not disappoint.

when i first listened to this song, genuinely, i cried my eyes out. i don't think i've ever liked a group how i like weki meki and with everything that's been going on in my personal life i needed this song. i don't think this is my favorite weki meki title track overall but i think it's definitely a strong tie with picky picky as #1. i'm so happy to see them back and i'm so happy you reacted to them so quickly (and enjoyed it so much)!!! i really hope this isn't a disbandment song like a lot of people have been joking about ha...haha.... and i really hope this helps them gain more fans!

Never clicked so fast ! I hope they'll get the recognition they deserve

Their voices stand out so much in this song! One of their best title tracks so far along with Crush and Cool.

I was really afraid that the D-Day will come after such a long hiatus and i'm still aftraid but it's really good to see them together again. I don't want to lose another group. Fantagio better not wait another year for their comeback.

and they did 💔 at least we get yoojung's solo debut next month and hopefully one or two months after that a weme comeback

Been waiting for your reaction!! I'm glad you get the message they wanted to convey with siesta.. If you watch the individual teaser it is all dramatic/emotional, everyone can really relate to it. By the way kim doyeon conceptualize it, but she got injured during the comeback preparation so she can't perform and promote with weki meki. I hope everyone here support weki meki comeback siesta and please buy weki meki album 🙏

the emotional side of this song REALLY hit me at the right place/right time with this comeback. I've loved weki meki's music ever since I discovered them with dazzle dazzle (which I know isn't pd's fav but that's alright I'm still obsessed with it just the same ^^), but something about this song made me realize how much I missed them. the little nod from suyeon when they're all standing in that circle on the bridge especially makes me tear up, so I'm so happy they're back 🥺

I actually really like the teen crush concept that wekimeki did during their rookie days. Also CRUSH still slaps!!!

It's still criminal that they haven't won a music show! Also - PD should go listen to "Who am I" (their b-side they're promoting)

Loved your reaction! You really got the song and MV. Weki Meki said that it was about the ups and downs of life as girls in their 20s. It is very personal to them and Doyeon had a lot of input into the whole process.

The pre-chorus is so amazing!

you should definitely check out their new album, it’s AMAZING!! i’m so proud of weki meki i missed them so much

it was the song's message that's what the whole world needs right now, u are my siesta, i am ur siesta, we'll be each others' siesta

Ohhh yes, outros in kpop, they are just the cherry on top, they really make me love a song even more, sooo satisfying..... And the emotions, I was totally hit by them, the ending shots are gorgeous, and with the outro, It made me realize how deep the song is...

14:03 it is doyeon singing! her voice is so pretty

To be brutally honest, EVERY KPOP STANS MUST KNOW HOW GOOD WEKI MEKI IS! They never miss BOP as always

Finally....a song and mv worthy of these girl's talents. Hope they continue this concept.

i absolutely LOVE how much heart this song and mv have!!! a breath of fresh air both for weme and for me personally loved this so much

yess, i'm glad to see reaction that appreciate the song as it deserved, whenever i see comments talking bout how this song is just basic or not as good as their previous song...which i checked out and sparing out my opinion...i'd say as an old/fossil listener of kpop, this song gives me emotions of what it's like to enjoy n feel along with what you're listening to instead of the usual kpop songs nowadays that are more meant to impress you and tell you that 'hey look at us, we're oh so cool n so different n edgy n complex n whatnot' which..after awhile don't give me any effect anymore...but emotions and joy are something that doesn't expire or get stale, for me at least. yknow, it reminds me of kpop in those days and evenmoreso, fans in those days who loved and were proud of kpop for not trying to match American pop and were very different even if it meant cutesy, bright, bubblegum or whatnot(unlike now where that's the goal lol). i remember the days when that's the definition of 'different' by kpop fans. perhaps it was too long ago before the shift began n for the past years it has become 180degrees different meaning n now the past is more often than not seen as just cheesy. haa. not to say that this song sounded like older kpop exactly, it has its modern elements i guess but it has the feel/heart that you don't get everyday from the biggest trendiest tracks of recent kpop. and i very much appreciate that as a casual listener who randomly check out the song.

This song is great! We can feel happiness, serenity, and emotion at the same time when listening to the song! Actually WeMe has a lot of Good songs. And I hope people can open their ears clearly to support WeMe songs. Hopefully they can get their #1 Win SOON. But above of all, I hope they can last a long long time as a group! Fighting WeMe 🤍

honestly this is such a perfect vibey song and we needed more of this on kpop

the mini album is really good too!! all the songs and especially who am I are amazing

Regarding who's singing during the "beauty shots", is ctually the girls being shown, both before and after the Chorous The higher notes you like it most were Doeyon > Sei > YuJeong > Elly > Sei >Rina > Doyeon

they nailed it. it's so beautiful, i love weki meki so much. i listen to their whole discography often and they're one of my fav groups musically. if they don't get their 1st win this time, i'm gonna be so disappointed.

while the mv is probably yeah limited in budget, i don't mind. it's a backdrop for the song more than anything else and i love it. not every video has to be super flashy and the center of attention. sometimes it's nice to just have essentially a visualizer for the song. way to go doyeon, you did amazing in planning this. we miss you!

Worth the wait, amazing comeback! Everybody got to show off their vocals and the MV is gorgeous. Also, i highly recommend everybody to check out the album, some great songs on there.

Elly sounds SO GOOD omg

When I first heard this song, I accually thought to myself: Yeah, the break is over girls, you 🎵can't stop🎵 releasing your songs, we need you to be our 🎶siesta🎶.

I've been waiting for this one!!! Definitely my favourite weme comeback, something about it just feels so right and comforting. Despite being completely different from what they've done before this feels the most like them, if that makes sense? Like a turning point. Also seeing pd obsess over colour grading is my new favourite thing lmao

This was sooo good!! I feel this has a similar happy and upbeat vibe like Dun Dun Dance

Siesta is an amazing song periodt

Thank you speaking out Weki Meki's story. Pls also check "Who Am I" by Weki Meki, it's also best song ^o^

Thank u for supporting WEKI MEKI

Seeing you so excited over the editing of the video itself and relating it to the lyrics and theme was very wholesome. I'm glad you enjoyed it, thank you for reacting!!!

this reaction warms my heart so much. thank you, PD!

This song makes me so happy, I think it's my favorite song of Weki Meki and I love it

A casual listener too but I absolutely LOVED this song, made me tear up

I personally for myself can say that this song is very relaxing and very calming and I enjoyed it however, I do not think it’s their best title track song in my opinion I still appreciate the song but it’s not their best in my eyes and my taste. I will say that listening to all their other songs on the album is beautiful and it put me on a nice little emotional roller coaster that I quite enjoyed a lot and I feel like I needed to hear something on the softer side. I definitely appreciate the fact that we were given the opportunity to have a softer Music video as well as light and elegant songs to go along with their title track it definitely gives me a fresh air in tire images breathe out from any other group that’s giving me the hard Poppin music so it’s very nice to know that a group that I enjoyed decided to take a different route and give me the opportunity to actually breathe and just feel relaxed and calm. But like I stated it’s a beautiful song it’s very fresh very relaxing takes you want to emotional journey if you listen to all their songs on the album but I don’t think it’s their best title track come back personally for me.

I'm actually very surprised you feel like Weki Meki hasn't had a distinct sound. I feel like Picky Picky, Tiki Taka, Oopsy, Dazzle Dazzle were all very much in a specific Weki Meki sound that I couldn't imagine other groups doing!

17:51 You mention "light at the end of the tunnel" and I'm not aware if you know this but the bridge and the tunnel in this MV were also used in Hotel Del Luna as a representation for a soul's journey to the afterlife. It's the first thing I thought about when I watched the MV for the first time and I immediately fell in love with the aesthetic of it. Beautifully shot.

the day they released this MV what i was doing is just replying until the time i got to sleep

honestly one of my faves comebacks

PD has to do a listening party for Weki Meki all the B-sides were fire looking forward to seeing his reactions to the B-sides worth a listen!

Thank you so much for making this video, I have been waiting for your video for Siesta since the MV released. If it's possible, please check out all the B-side, especially Who Am I. Watching the performance video of Who Am I is even better. You won't be disappointed ^^

PLEASE LISTEN TO THE BSIDES THEY ARE IMMACULATE

this song highkey makes me feel like i'm gonna cry idk if i should put it in an upbeat playlist or a sad/nostalgic one 😭

Thank you PD for this reaction!! Also I just like to let you know about EPEX's comeback called DO 4 ME. I think you mightve missed it since it came out quite a while back. I think you might love this so much since one of your main critiques for LOCKDOWN was the heavy rap focus. DO 4 ME has a lot of vocals so i think you'll enjoy it a lot

weki meki just gives this different vibe like yeah ima chill here kind of vibe

this song means a lot to me as it came out at a time when i was in a time of anxiety and fear, but the day this song came out it was like a warm and comforting hug from a friend telling me that everything was going to be fine 💙 weki meki managed to deliver a song that at the same time sounds emotional and welcoming, it is also bright and happy and together with the lyrics that have a very beautiful and positive message made this comeback even more special.

Imagine PD watching all the mood teasers before this. Hits you a lot harder man.

just.. just.. they did their best.. proud T^T

This was what I was waiting for since the MV dropped.

For me it's that pre-chorus. It's soo good!

actually you got it when you said this song can be used in a lot of condition. the main point was like waking up from a nap(rest in any kind of form) so you got a brand new energy to continue whatever you're doing. and just like you said, this song is more focus on their vocals. yoojung even said that this was their hardest song in term of vocal. that's why their choreo wasn't as intense as their usual ones. btw if you like this vibe, you should check their b side "luminous". it's an amazing song too. well this is their best album in my opinion, because all the song sounds so amazing.

yoooo the lighting is so nice the quality looks so good

Please support them so they can get their 1st win!

this song is such a mix of emotions and i love it so much

YES I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS ONE 🙌🏼

One of the best Album of the year for me🙏i rlly like every Song in the Album their soooooo goood

the individual mood films of the members gives alot of insights about this comeback as well you could just check it out on your own time if you want! nothing that much but their asmr-ish voices were so pleasing it fits the theme of Siesta much likely

even though the song's called 'siesta' we shouldn't sleep on this comeback

Yeeeesssss!!!! I ducking love this song so much!! Can't wait for your take on it 😊

Please have a listening party for their album! It's so good

they deserved a better budget and i'm glad u pointed it out bc honestly girlies have been hard at work for so long they deserve better

What i absolutely loved about the mc was the down to earth vibe. Like the place where they performed could literally be in my park a few streets away. Everything felt so “humble” but not cheap at all or something like that. Especially with the meaning combined it just feels really personal and close to the listener. While 99% of mv in the moment have crazy high production, green screen here, expensive and equipment there this really sticks out positively. Not criticizing any of these group who have these insane visuals in their mv, i love them but it can be a lot at times. So siesta kind of feels kind of nostalgic in a way? Something you even forget that you loved. Great comeback.

For someone who has little experience, editing and filming outdoor (with natural/sun light) are a lot more harder than the indoor set. Props to the production team!

this song makes me cryywjvkfks

YEEEES thank you for reacting PD, I’m so happy, you seemed to really enjoy Siesta and that makes me even happier❤️

Aye thanks for introducing me to them

I thought the song was too basic for weki meki halfway but gradually as the song finished I caught myself singing along 😭. It went from them being alone in their own space to being all together. It stuck a chord with me almost made me cry lol they looked so happy.

we waited for that!!

one of the reasons i love your reactions so much is because it feels so good to see you experience the same emotions as i do and express my thoughts like i sometimes wouldn't be able to.

I WAS WAITING FOR THIS, YIASSSSS

So, where do I even begin?!? Oh boy, this is going to be such a long comment, sorry in advance guys... Okay, let's start with the fact that I actually don't listen to Weki Meki. It may be that I've heard a title track here or there, since I'm an avid kpop listener and love discovering new songs and groups, so I check out a lot of recommendations. But their music never really grabbed me apparently, because only after COOL they stuck in my memory as a group to look out for in the future (which btw I'm SO glad I did). It could have to do with the fact, PD pointed it out too, that they had no distinct sound to recognise them. Which makes this comeback even more fascinating to me, because not only does it fit their voices so well, like it highlights the members and their talent in the best way, I have found that it is super niche to them too! You cannot imagine how many girl group songs I've heard these past days, trying to find something that captures the same emotions that this song awakens in me! I found little to nothing! I am ecstatic!!! Because this means there is finally an element to their sound which is characteristic to only them. Super important fact if you want to stand out in the sea of releases these days. So in my attempt to create a playlist off of Siesta, other songs that I've found to kiiiinda express the same mood and sound are IZ*ONE's Panorama and definitely Weeekly's 7days Tension. Also Itzy's Surf and Twice's Alcohol-free to some extent. Some more were somewhat close, but not really what I was looking for. If anybody wants to help me expand the list, I gladly accept any suggestions, since I for one, am not so familiar with the discography of older groups for example. I'm talking strictly female artists for this one though. I've binge listened to a lot of gg who could fit the sound, like summer releases of Red Velvet or GFRIEND, also WJSN and Oh My Girl and a bunch of other gg, but surprisingly, none had what I was looking for. But I have still some more that I want to check out anyway like Lovelyz or Apink. To help explain how this song made me feel, even though we are in the middle of fall already, it made me think of a fun getaway weekend, going out with your girls for a cocktail at the beach kinda vibe. I'm thinking lighthearted laughter, party vibes, like a rave near the ocean. It's a song that is cute, but goes hard for no reason; soft, but fast paced. But also something that captures the melancholy of a fading sunset and the end of summer or the memory of it, a bit of nostalgia even. And like PD, said, this sounds mature, without being necessarily a mature concept. It could have easily been a full on summer song, yet it isn't, to me at least, and it's exactly because of this very light, almost imperceptible nostalgic note, which makes it is more so an after-summer song, in the veins of After We Ride or Tamed-Dashed - a little bit pop-ier than the former and less edm heavy than the latter. Btw if you think about it, we really got the perfect releases at the perfect time this year: Oh My Girl opened up the summer with Dun Dun Dance, it was like finally getting up to party again after being locked up for so long. Then Brave Girls, who brought us all to the beach with Chi Mat Ba Ram, Twice with Alcohol-free, obviously inviting us for a quick drink and now Weki Meki with Siesta, going back for a nap, almost like we're finally officially closing the summer season! The conclusion: I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS! Perfect timing, as I said! Since Fantagio took ages for them to come back, I didn't really know what to expect, sound wise. COOL was a game changer, it really was, it showed how well they could pull off darker concepts, but it also made me question if they were going to stick to that newer sound or if they would go back to cute or girl crush concepts. The possibilities were endless at that point. I'm glad to see them in a brighter concept again, cause this is awesome, it really suits them so well, and even though Fantagio kept us on hold, it was worth the wait. Glad to see the girls back, and now if you excuse me, I have to keep streaming this song because I am honestly obsessed! To whoever stuck around till the end, thank you for reading, have a great day :)

I've definitely been missing this sound in K-pop since IZ*ONE disbanded - the only other song I can think of that fits this vibe for me might be Lightsum's VIVACE from a bit ago. I'm happy to hear more Kpop from this soundscape though and I hope that Weme continue down this path for their next release!

Great reaction PD. I love this comeback so much. Hoping it’s very successful.

this track reminds me of TikaTaka (99%) which is my other favorite Weki Meki title track! i love it

Many thanks for speaking out all my thoughts 🥰
