Netizens are reacting to NJZ's new song, "PIT STOP."
On an online forum, netizens shared their thoughts after watching several fancams of NJZ performing their new song live in Hong Kong for ComplexCon. Titled "PIT STOP," the track features a fast-paced house techno beat with an addictive rhythm and a subtle melody line.
Some praised the beat as "very addictive" and wrote that it's "a shame they won't be able to promote this song," while others were more critical, leaving comments like "y'all truly like this song?", "not really a fan of this production," and "I'm not sure about this sound" and expressing how they miss their earlier songs, such as "Attention," "Hype Boy," and "Ditto."
Many fans also shared their frustration about not being able to stream the song in high quality due to the group's hiatus.
"It's really bad. I thought it would be amazing because everyone was hyping it up so much."
"People who say it's terrible always end up listening to it later, lol."
"Uh, the song is just…"
"The song isn’t that great… maybe it’ll sound different on the official release?"
"I think this is the worst song so far… maybe it’ll feel different when the full version drops?"
"It’s so bad with no emotion… If they left ADOR, they should have come back with a bang. Is this all they’ve got?"
"Are they not doing songs like 'Attention' anymore?"
"The beat is amazing though?"
"Something about the song feels off, and the choreography too."
"Honestly, the song is terrible — it’s neither here nor there."
"The song is good… the more I listen, the beat really hits."
"Is this live?? If it’s mostly sing-rapping, shouldn’t their vocal strength be better than this?"
"It’s terrible. Their other songs are way better."
"I thought the intro was amazing, so I expected the song to be really good… but the actual song is disappointing, and the choreography is even worse."
"The song has no melody… I thought the beat was good, though."
"The concept feels cooler, but the sound and beat still feel very NewJeans… which is nice."
"I actually like a lot of other NewJeans songs, but this one just sounds off… Maybe it’s the production? I don’t think I’ll miss it if they don’t release the full version."
"I like it, but it’s not as good as 'Attention' or 'Ditto,' lol."
"It feels like one of those darker b-side tracks from a girl group."
"It kind of feels like a darker version of 'Super Shy.' People who wanted a similar vibe might be happy, but those looking for something new might be disappointed."
"Even if they released something on the level of 'Attention,' 'Hype Boy,' or 'Ditto,' it would be tough to turn things around — but this feels even lower in quality, which is a shame."
"I just prefer their earlier songs."
"The beat is good, but the melody?"
"Oh, the beat is good, the song is good, and the choreography is good. I'm curious about the official release, but since it's being held back, that’s disappointing."
"The beat is so good???"
"The beat is good, but is this the best they could do with the melody line?"
"Their previous songs were so good that this one feels a bit weak. I want to hear the official version since it might sound different from the live stage."
"Wow, it’s so good."
"The song is great, the choreography is good, and the members look beautiful."
"The song is amazing? What a shame."
"The beat is good — like a dark version of 'ETA'?"
"The beat is amazing… but I’ll need to hear the full version to judge the whole thing."
"It always kind of feels the same to me."
"I didn’t expect much, but it’s actually good?"
"It’s so good. I want to hear the official release."
"Honestly, it’s amazing… I really want to hear the full version."
"I love the song, which makes this situation even more disappointing. I hope it gets resolved."
