YES. It’s so clear that they would fit a different concept much better and also it feels like they could show their best side. But they have just been forced to be the little sister of bp. They definitely are talented but YG is just ignoring their strengths and giving them eh songs

Batter up isn't a bad song on its own, it's just a bad song for Baemon. I could imagine Blackpink singing this as a B-side or a collab/ad/soundtrack. But it just doesn't do well as a debut song for a highly anticipated group, and this particular flavor of badass concept doesn't fit Babymonster at all because, well, it's cringe af when a 14 year old who's literally just debuted acts like this. Blackpink were all adults during their debut and it was one of the reasons why that concept worked for them from the beginning. Not to mention all 4 BP girls have the it factor, from the first MV it's easy to tell each of their personalities, their style, even facial features are strikingly different. It's one of the reasons why it's so easy to dive into that Blackpink rabbit hole and why many non-kpop fans like Blackpink and can easily tell them apart. It's like "yeah, it's Lisa, the fun unpredictable one, and that's Jisoo, the elegant beauty". That's what Babymonster lacked in Batter up. Their styling really isn't helping either. It might have been better if Ahyeon was there, she'd probably go viral, and the group would start around her before the others develop their style, similar to Ive and Wonyoung. But right now... it's a mess.

Debuts are what puts groups on the map, it get their name out and shows the public what to expect from a group if you look at other debuts like Twice, Aespa, TXT, BTS etc. all their debuts showcased what music they would be producing (it’s not till well into their years that they may change their sound) so people saying just wait for the next one is why it’s a problem. If groups are figuring out what their sound is after their debut it’s poorly managed; this debut was disappointing and it’s the majority that are voicing this not just a few.

Totally agree with the forced concept part. Also their debut was so sudden. After months of delays, they debuted out of no where. And now it’s like they’ve stopped promotions all together? It’s so bizarre. Other groups b-sides get more promotions than this

4th gen groups always have iconic or special debuts with this market the song did not make my playlist so many bops have been being released with countless bgs and ggs on the scene I can't be bothered for such mediocre music As someone who also watched the show I feel so bad for the girls they truly deserve so much better

No matter how you hate Tedd, yall can't deny that he's indeed a very talented producer. Sure, he has a tendency to recycle stuff, his songwriting is also not the best and he can be stagnant at times but the guy knows how to make hits. To his credit, he worked both for 2ne1 and Blackpink but he was able to give very distinct identities to both groups. He knows how to highlight and maximize the potential of each member. I wonder what will he do with Babymonster if he produce stuff for them. I'm sure he has far better ideas than that ugly Mr. Yang lol

YG knew that they postponed the debut tooooo many times. If they did it again, they will lose a lot of babymonster's new fans and of course- money. So they made 6 members debut with a backup song from the YG library and we need to wait for a proper one in the future.

I was so excited for this group the amount of times I danced and listened to babymonsters 2NE1 remix, and after hearing the song I was like what is this, the only reason why I keep listening to batter up atm is because I’ve found this version of AI blackpink singing Batter up and trust me Batter up sounds more suited to BP, hopefully we can see Babymonsters vocal’s showcased in future songs which may take years knowing YG

YG is so unpredictable but in a messy way

Ahyeon's absence was prominent here. When I saw the survival show for babymonster, I hoped for something better since the debut was delayed this long. Such a waste.

The only thing I'll say is just to remind people that it's nice to have hope of the "wait and see" mentality since this is their debut. However, we must remember that this is a YG group. YG groups have comebacks every 2 years at the lastest. That's my only concern here. If this is their debut and they're not promoting, and given YG's track record regarding comebacks, what will happen to the group? Just food for thought.

Yes girls are famous yes they have record on spotify and youtube and etc but they don't have songs for which people will remember them for years, they will remember the lack of satisfaction from the most famous group in history. 5.

for the record, I'm a fan of 2nd gen (2ne1) and have been looking forward to baemon since they've said in an announcement that baemon would debut with a strong hiphop concept but this really is not it. I hoped that before they debuted, the company didn't push their hip-hop agenda to these girls. I hoped that they would've tried to find the voice color of these girls first or start with a soft concept first then eventually transition to girl crush when they are READY for the stronger concepts. Not saying they can't do the bad ass but their age really shows in the mv and the way they present themselves. idk but the hiphop side seems forced to them except for the rappers. Or they could've released 2 title tracks like what they did with BP to show another side of these girls. I really feel bad for these girls. YGE should really stop relying on their traditional techniques and try to keep up with the market trends. For a company who is a pioneer of girlcrush in kpop, YGE is lacking right now.

I feel bad for these young girlies:((

YG just keeps recycling 2NE1's concept. It worked with Blackpink, so I guess he figured he'd just do the same thing again. But no. YG stans have been sick of it, and all the new people Blackpink brought in don't want YG giving their new girl group what sounds like a reworked Blackpink b-side. For all the songs YG claims to have commissioned for Baby Monster, it doesn't seem like he used any of them. As usual, these companies are good at training people, but when it comes to actual group management, they tend to suck. The talent of the members can carry the group for a big label like YG, but smaller labels have so much wasted potential all the time. So many talented groups disband every year due to lack of exposure and poor management decisions. Luck also plays a huge role in all this. Being part of a huge label like YG removes the luck aspect. You're pretty much guaranteed success to some extent. But for their numbers to be like this even with all those advantages is not a good sign.

This video is spot on for how I feel about baby monsters debut. Please I hope YG sees all the responses and starts thinking differently. They need fresh minds because the trend that new jeans, IVE, Les serrafim, kiss of life, Gidle etc they are all trying new things/refreshing concepts that work for their group. YG is trying to create the same fucking group every time when it came to 2NEI then Black Pink and now Baby monster when they are kids who don’t even fit the hard concepts. When I saw the MV and they were trying so hard to act like they hard was just so cringe and sad to watch. They have too much talent and it might go to waste because of YGs not letting in new minds to help the group find their actual sound/color. The songs they sang to in their survival program fits their vibes more so idk how he thought let’s let them do girl crush vibes when they are 14-20 years old. The only one that may fit the vibe is ruka but everyone else has a softer appearance.

IMO, YG rushed the debut because they weren't ready. Like you said in the video, batter up gonna act like a pre-debut song and they will probably have their 'debut song" with Aeyeon when she ready. Let's be honest, the song wasnt that bad (7/10). My only problems and concerns is that 1- The song wasnt heavy centered vocals (prob gonna wait for the 'real debut" with Aeyeon and 2- The absence of any promotion and appearance on shows.

Its not 3rd Gen anymore 4th gen is far to competitive the top groups have a had 3-5 comebacks and they are killing it look at NWJNS and Le sserafim. You also have Ive and Aespa. Yg is really falling behind for a big4 company

i hope ahyeon still in babymonster

"working on their follow up tracks", considering how few songs YG gg have in general I highly doubt that. YG better make sure the next comeback is a banger distinct from BBM's predecessors either wise they're just letting these girls talent go to waste.

yal needa calm tf down. they'll find their style eventually. u can't base their entire career off of their first release

i agree this comment is after the song sheesh and forever and i see their style getting better each time.

I'm so not interested in them...They actually are talented but the production only mimics a blend Blackpink vibe... I didn't feel anything hearing their song, it was souless. YG didn't allow their souls in the production process. They just follow their way of producing. Can"t blame the charming girls. But they are so many talented groups who brings their personnality, concepts, and self work (production skills), such as Straykids, Mamamoo, dreamcatcher etc See what I mean ? I can't make comparision with Black pink, it wouldn't be fair... But BP have such a charisma, and each member are really definded... In Babymonster, i can only see another girl group, dumped in the skark sees....

Yall need to chill this just the debut

They did also not present them like they did with Blackpink. Like a showcase introducing the members. Maybe because they introduced them via KZread. But the monster debut this was supposed to be is obviously not this. It must be that they have something big planned for beginning of 2024 when (if) Ahyeon returns. That would explain everything

Honestly the song was pretty good in my opinion I just hate how its the same yge sound. I wish they could switch it up someday. I hope this criticism/hate the song is getting, yge will get the memo and yge will stop giving them the same old yge songs.

YG is going down and taking their artists with them. Music has only been their side business for the last couple of years, if they don't know what to do with a group they tell them to go on tour. The company needs a total reset with competent heads asap. Too bad, they used to have the coolest idols now they're famous for criminals and troublemakers.

Batter Up just smashed the fastest 190 million views in kpop debut history. Another YG banger. On the wayside, slayed New Jeans, Super Shy #9, slayed Fifty fifty Cupid #8, slayed Stray Kids S Class #7 slayed Seventeen Super #6. Next on the top 2023 hit list is IVE, I am at 203 million #5. Baby Monster has 200 million in its sights and then to take down the 2023 kpop top 5.

the fact people here are saying its too fast to judge when groups last year only had 2 or 3 comebacks are hitting the charts after debut gotta understand that people wont wait for them to get amazing with their song especially on how fast kpop trends move

I mean look at what happened with Nmixx with their debut song, the song was so polarising that it divided the kpop stans in half i.e those who liked it, and those who didn't, I feel like the same thing happened with Baemon, but they just debuted and we should wait and see what happens next🤷‍♀️

The market is far too competitive for such a lackluster debut especially in recent years thats why its creating so much Buzz because YG is really falling behind the other Big4 companies

Right everyone is so dramatic making off money by making bm contant

ah yeah 65M in 7 days is wasted potential? you guys must be running out of ideas to make as content

Rookie company?!!!!!

Saying that they should leave the company is too much. They didn't have a great debut but that doesn't mean other songs will be bad. 'wasted potential' isn't something you say to rookies who debuted a week ago, it's said about idols who were in the industry for years yet didn't get enough attention.

The song is good. The lyrics are meh, but I don't understand Korean, so it doesn't bother me much. Yes, the song is a definite BP song. I hope they change it up in the future and give them their own sound. My only complaint is the lack of safety shorts for these young girls. Newjeans didn't invent safety shorts, so use them! Edit: I'm not dogging on Newjeans for wearing safety shorts. I highly appreciate it since their fanbase is more male. I'm just saying that Babymonster wouldn't be copying them or any group for wearing them

But the song is good and catchy

Talanted girls but music is mid

In my opinion batter up is really good!

I have zero interest in this group. First of all, they're too young, the same reason I don't have an interest in NewJeans. I am against people under the age of 16 debuting. Second of all, I'm pretty tired of YG concepts in general. Babymonster is basically female Treasure + Blackpink. Nothing creative about their concept or music, just rehashed YG. Maybe in a few years I'll check them out again but definitely won't be following them now.

no need to complain but it was so true they deserve much better

Every YG group depends on one member - G-dragon, Jennie, CL I think YGE thinks For Baemon that one is Ahyeon

I can honestly say I do not know a single one of the members names and only got through the first 30 seconds of their MV

It's very much true that this concept and style doesn't suit them. Their style during the evaluation was much better

at this point i almost feel like the authorities of YG are constantly drunk or whatever, because (if it happens) that is the main reason for me to delay working on my music releases too lol

I think most of successful YG groups comes with smaller ppl like 2NE1, Blackpink, Big bang. The groups w 4 members

I personally feel lyk yg was building baby monster to replace blackpink Incase they don't renew their contract but maybe blackpink renewed their contract so yg just wanna ruin the poor girls career coz they ain't no way...

Damn Kookielit it’s only been 10 days since their debut, let them breathe 😅

exactly, too early to say. Let us know get ahead of our selves and help the girls grow.

I like the song but all I thought the whole time was it sounds like a blackpink song, to the point where I could even be like oh this part would be Lisa this part would be jisoo etc

they went thru all that singing to say "batter up" in a minor key..I hate yg so bad. for all that, just give us a rap competition

Whatever you might think of JYP, at least they know how to do a survival show and succesful debut. Have the timing of the broadcast line up so that the girls can release their first pre-debut song right after the survival show final. Get a few more pre-debut songs ready and keep fans engaged with behind the scenes videos. This gives the company time to work on a big debut off screen, while the audience gets content to keep them interested. The formula is right there, so I don't understand why YG dropped the ball this hard with Babymonster.

Lots of people hated "O.O", but at least that song (and its video) had genuine effort put into it. "Batter Up" just seems like a retread of stuff that already worked for YG in the past. I didn't feel much heart in it.

I think they just made batter up in just 15 days. As the plans they made didn't go like what they thought about as Ahyeon got sick. So they just tried to cover up things as they had already postponed their debut so many times. Let wait for her to come back then we can judge if they are actually wasting their potentials or they just cover it up for Ahyeon.

I'm not giving up on them. For goodness sake they just came out and who knows what direction they'll turn to. I see so much potential in them. I'm not letting one song cloud my entire judgement on them. I do wonder if they're working on a fan name lol

i have supported yg for many years, 2ne1/big bang/blackpink, but im just not feeling this one. i feel bad for these girls. hope they can forget this one and come up with a better track next time.

song vibe blackpink and hit if blackpink sing it

Okay, so I watched the full MV and, honestly, "Batter Up" isn't a _bad_ song at all. The rap was genuinely great, as I expected. But I do agree these girls are not suited for a girl-crush concept -- some are still underage so it feels a bit… try-hard? The song overall is fine… but that's all it is. How does "Batter Up" set Babymonster apart from Blackpink? (it doesn't)

YG was lazy, period. They recycled Blackpink when they had an opportunity to create a new group with a whole new identity. No shade to the girls at all.

This concept is just used so many times and I think a lot of people are tired of this

The fact that we waited an entire year for a lackluster song that chat gpt could release in 3minutes is just funny at this point.Like did they actually listen to this song before releasing it cz you gotta be delusional to think "batter up" would broke the chart bfr YG

When YG told CL to come back to Korea and prepare for 2NE1’s comeback just to announce that the group disbanded without warning any of the members😬 never trust YG. Had fans waiting for the comeback for over a year just to randomly disband them

I dont think the song is as bad as people are making it out to be it is just average and i think unless the song was a smash hit people were going to shit on it
