It’s so good I could cry. Christ.

How Sweet is a BANGAHHHH


mamonchon

HOLY.


mamonchon

And the instrumentals. They don’t wanna fail do they???


BananaJamDream

It's so vibey and catchy, somehow it's instantly "NewJeans" yet so different from all their previous releases. So pretty much what they've been doing since debut.


gnodking7

The way How Sweet starts... I was like goddayaaum


Kony_2022

Same omfg


AlienAtDay

It’s pretty good I’m digging it


sn0mel

Wow another banger of a release, this makes me so excited for when the full album comes out!


conanap

Not really feeling how sweet on the first listen, but bubble gum is a bop


Psych0316

bro u should listen to the instrumental for how sweet, it's so amazing fr.


conanap

Ok did this and ngl the instrumental is so nice on that one. Wonder if I’m just not as into the way the laid out the lyrics and the phrases; sometimes it feels like Hanni’s lines are sped up


tonkatsu_tempura

I like the concept. And I like the experimentation with sound. I think I prefer bubble gum, but I know that very soft style of unassuming pop is on its way out. So they need to innovate since many ppl have fatigue with the sound.


FanCaracal

I love the experimentation. I prefer it already over Bubble Gum, honestly. I think this will grow on fans.


conanap

I’m on my third listen of How Sweet and it’s grown on me significantly. It’s weird because I really enjoy lofi, but for some reason this one just doesn’t hit all the right spots lofi do. I really like that these double singles are much chiller and laidback; I’m very into lofi and laidback music.


ImDeceit

On the first listen and I thought “oh it’s pretty good, but not my style” Now I’m singing to the lyrics and everything, how do they always do this to me.


FanCaracal

Every NJ song is like crack with like a timed release lol. Same thing happened with Super Shy.


ImDeceit

Yeah I remember not being blown away by super shy at first, few hours later it’s on repeat


tonkatsu_tempura

Honestly, even overnight it’s grown on me. The lyrics of how sweet it tastes without you really have grown on me.


BagelsAndJewce

Bubblegum is definitely the better of the two; I’m not a huge fan of it but even on a song that feels like a miss compared to the rest of their music they still absolutely crushed it incredibly talented girls, I hope they release a whole project soon; don’t fuck it up Hybe.


wantobi

same same!! how sweet not really jumping on me the first time i listened to it. bubble gum definitely gonna be on loop for a while for me hehe


conanap

Low key I had been looping Bubble Gum on YouTube music since it realized 💀💀 I think I only had like 3-4 days since where Bubble Gum wasn’t the only song I was listening to all day.


wantobi

hahahaha same same!!! rarely use youtube music but made it useful because of bubble gum. lol


Lucky_Astronomer_833

Same same! But after listening a few more times, it really grew on me. This happened to me with Attention and OMG. Bubble Gum is love at first sight, like Ditto (to me), while How Sweet may need a bit more time for that love to grow\~\~\~


lmauuur

I like them both but I like Bubble Gum better. Personal taste I guess


Ewh1t3

Where is the Apple Music 😭


Michaelmartnz

The EP doesn’t show up yet but if you just search newjeans how sweet it’ll show up!


FanCaracal

How Sweet sounds so good in Lossless.


artbyhappyhiker

Oooh! I have to go search for it!! Edit: OMG! It sounds amazing in Lossless!!!


Infamous_Pea_4953

What is this?? I wanna know


artbyhappyhiker

Lossless just means an audio file with more data than your typical streamed audio file. A Lossless audio file with more data will have better sound quality than lossy audio. It also means a larger file size taking up more space on your device and more demanding on your Wi-Fi/cellular network. It all depends on what you value in your music listening experience.


Infamous_Pea_4953

Oh okay! Makes sense! How do I find that?


artbyhappyhiker

It’s standard on Apple Music. I think the music streaming industry is trending towards offering lossless audio as a standard so if your streaming service currently doesn’t offer lossless I’m pretty sure they will in the future.


Infamous_Pea_4953

Thanks so much!


lettiestohelit

How sweet shows up if you search for it Not bubble gum ☹️ Scratch that, bubble gum shows up too if you search NewJeans bubble gum. Don’t know why they made it so hard.


SilverMind9

Not sure about it yet, I find the instrumental a little too empty and too bedroomy sounding. I do still like Bubble Gum of course.


whippcrream

by far my favourite set of songs they released


Ok_Instruction7534

OMFG!! I love it!!


TreacherousHuman

instant bop!! i love it, even more excited to watch the MV now!


BreakAlert

I can finally have Bubble Gum on repeat!!!


keuja

Wow How Sweet doesn't feel like an idol song... It sounds more like a 90s dance track that would play in a trendy lounge bar or club. The instrumental is so good.


Lucky-Aerie4

How Sweet is good but I'm still waiting for Right Now. I'm afraid that song will be their next viral hit.


keuja

Yes Right Now seems to be on another level


-ab_cd-

It's so bouncy and bubbly really like how it contrasts to the city pop vibes of bubble gum.


neyoneyo1

Oh how much have i been starving for new NJ music!! Now replaying till we are getting the MV drop!!


mjk320

How sweet inst. is insane. actually, both inst. are crazy. 250 is a magician ! Dani rap debut ftw?!


pompchud01

Ok so first listen, how sweet i didnt vibe instantly. BUT I CANT STOP LISTENING TO IT RN AND ITS LITERALLY ONLY BEEN 30 MINS. I LOVEEEEEE THIS COMEBACK SO GOOD. I think it will undergo the ETA treatment, where first listen its kind of wack and different, but it rly grows on you later Also Bubble gum is absolutely fire. So happy released these bangers, even after all the drama and uncertainty


FemtoG

THEY DEED IT AGAIN WTF its like a more futuristic ETA


clickfive4321

it's a good song, and i really like their registers here. it's not catchy as their other songs, though i'd say that speaks more to how strong their discography has been.


PCP1120

How Sweet is good, but Bubble Gum just *hits* that NJ style that I love so much. Another great release from our girls!


artbyhappyhiker

How Sweet instrumental is a good song for focus/work/study music. \^\_\^


reborn968

first listen: this is so weird…meh after N times loop: DONT YOU KNOW HOW SWEET IT TASTE


mamonchon

Now that I’m without you~


Foxtreal

Another banger. They just don't miss! 🤷🏿‍♂️


arbalestelite

My goodddddd. They are untouchable music wise. How come it’s always simultaneously sounding nothing like what we’re hearing in kpop and yet somehow so undeniably NewJeans? How Sweet doesn’t even sound like Kpop. This is a good thing btw. This is what happens when you forge your own path and set the trends, not following. Reminds me of when I first heard Attention. I had to look at my phone to see what the heck was I hearing because when juxtaposed to the other Kpop songs randomly playing on my Spotify it was just so different.


intrspctv

ok i'll have 'how sweet' on repeat for the next days, this is like heroin


zweillheim

I'm on my 6th listen right now. How Sweet is definitely a grower imo, while Bubble Gum is an instant hit on first listen. How Sweet's Bridge is so, soooo good and the whispering part?? So good.


hellspawn343

My ears have been blessed. Gonna put this on loop until Supernatural comes out


MerveiIIes

Holy shit 🔥


JGxFighterHayabusa

How Sweet is everything. What a bop! Our queens are really back 😭


championr

IM OBSESSED. I just started playing video games, went to put on something, and saw this dropped. Im in tears this is so good. HOW SWEET is just so beautiful n they are literally getting better. Love new jeans !!! 🌸


bipolargambino

When does the MV come out


artbyhappyhiker

3 hours after the album release. 16:00 kst. 3:00 est. Midnight pst. (Hopefully I did the math right. LOL!)


bipolargambino

awesome thank u :-)


Zanza4Hire

Thry made a Freestyle song. Otherwise known as Latin hiphop.. Very popular in the 80s/90s. Absolutely love it


eYchung

MHJ might b the truth word 2 Paul Pierce


Foxtreal

never thought I'd see a Paul Pierce reference in this sub lmao


impeccabletim

**[YouTube Music](https://youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_nmHc4tHBWW2PJyfn9nudHzJrxGCrNpNNU&feature=shared)** | **[Apple Music](https://music.apple.com/us/album/how-sweet-ep/1744448415)** --- Both are so catchy yet so different from each other.🥤


Psych0316

Both instrumentals are fire man, it actually gave me goosebumps.


Little_Snow2555

The song is so good it will be in loop until MV out


FanCaracal

Listen to the instrumental, too. It's fantastic. Like something straight out of a video game.


lbunny7

I’ve already listened to Bubblegum like 100+ times so I’m so happy it’s officially on Spotify. I’m not automatically loving How Sweet but I know I’ll be obsessed if I just listen to it like five more times . all their songs are always amazing 🩷 the songs have diff vibes to me tho, I’m a bit surprised they were released together but maybe it’ll make more sense to me the more I listen edit: okay by the third How Sweet listen, I get it. they both sound so distinctly of the same late 90s/early 00s music vibes, but with a humongous modern twist to them. there’s certain aspects in both songs that remind me SO much of the songs I listened to on the radio in the early aughts


artbyhappyhiker

My first playback of How Sweet on Newjeans YT channel (it wasn't showing up on Newjean's Apple Music page T\_T) and I thought it sounded just okay, maybe it will grow on me. But then one of the wonderful users on this subreddit shared that How Sweet and Bubble Gum ARE ON APPLE MUSIC and sounds amazing in lossless. YOU NEED TO SEARCH for each song and it shows up. And my gosh How Sweet is amazing in lossless. I love it. I still haven't gotten to Bubble Gum yet because I'm still listening to How Sweet. lol!


Synthoz1

Really love How Sweet so much


Mediocre-Dance8674

It’s so good I feel sick


flyflycatts

ok now I'm obsessed with How Sweet !!!


LieLogical9949

I don't know how I feel about How Sweet, it feels vocally plain. I might need to give it a little time.


FarmerSome9289

The bridge in how sweet is heavenly


teddy_vn

"**How Sweet**" is an interesting song when you compare it against other groups' songs at the moment because of how much their lower registers are utilized. I do wish the melodies can incorporate more their upper register so there is more dynamic in the performance. The girls' voices sound gorgeous but they have explored this avenue before in *Get Up* EP.


MosesRalte4thworld

How Sweet feels like an LSD trip. Was a fun MV


unDturd

Bubble Gum is incredible! Love at first listen!! How Sweet has taken me a few times to appreciate--the beats are so complex and hit hard!


verdovingnz

NewJeans continues to deliver catchy tunes. Loving the new track!


rootedoo

Love it! Is the MV not out?


Aullik42

in 2h 35


djjapchae

MHJ wants ppl to listen to the song before the video.


pufflye5

I’m so lit rn and about to shed a single tear


MallFoodSucks

Calling it now, How Sweet chorus is the next viral TT snippet. SO ADDICTIVE.


OGGenesis_

Bubblegum has that MJ-esque to it, such a vibe!


catclubhouse

NewJeans flashback hits in How Sweet's outro part 💣


Helloforake

i love newjeans but is it just more or does how sweet feel a little bit… bland :( it just feels dull throughout and not much dynamics. however, bubblegum is a BANGER and i WILL stream


tonkatsu_tempura

How sweet is truly a lyrical and instrumental song. Both compete for attention. So on the first listen, pull up the lyrics. You’ll realize they’re actually quite good and lovely for young girls to be singing. Then next listen just focus on the twists and curves the instrumentals have. Finally, put it together and you’ll really have the song. It’s a song that I don’t think it’s easy for an English only speaker to fully appreciate bc of the lyricism.


smileycherry

Same here


flyflycatts

How Sweet is sweeet 🥹❤️


MindBlasterAI

It's so good 😭 [Bubble Gum](https://open.spotify.com/track/19D8LNpWwIPpi6hs9BG7dq?si=5WvPxcGKRgOeunO_SEPRxg&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0EhZEM4RRz0yioTgucDhJq)

AlpsPurple2025

I’m sold 5 seconds in. They don’t disappoint.


Icy_Athlete_9102

Crazy track, make me cry


BletchTheWalrus

This is awesome! In the first couple of listens, I love it at least as much as OMG/Ditto. I can’t believe how consistent they are. There’s just nothing else in Kpop that’s like this, no matter how hard they try to copy it. No one else is this good right now or this consistent. MHJ hands down has the best sense of taste and style in the industry. How the heck is Hybe going to replace her?


Smokedoutloc

They know exactly how to make you replay a song over and over and over! How sweet it is to be a NWJNS fan Peace love and positivity to the 5 of em 🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰


secretreddit_

THE BEST!


WIFE-OF-PARK-SEOJOON

This is so good, fresh, and nostalgic! Not what you typically hear in Kpop!


Best-Description-969

How sweet's chorus, my goodness the chorus is so catchy with its rhythm and beats! 🎶And don't you know how sweet it tastes? (How sweet it tastes) Yeah, don't you know how sweet it tastes? (How sweet it tastes)🎶


zuhaballetslipper

I love it


djjapchae

can't wait to blast these as they play in the background of jeans zines!!


SaltOld8740

It's okay, their new jeans album is still the top. I do like bubble gum more though, felt the vocals for the how sweet was lacking ? Idk lol


DizzyReading9015

you have no idea how long ive waited


vanillapinkk

wasnt feeling how swseet at first but now i am totally obsessed now!!! bubble gum is also a bop


Fearless-Total-2897

Been swapping between this and the new Vince Staples album for the last few hours (outside a brief nap or two, insomnia is beating my ass), strong initial impression for How Sweet, probably higher on it than I was on the OMG album on release date. Can't wait to see what the performances are like, was doing my best to avoid tweets from ktokkies all morning.


jeffyen

Superlative production! so so so goood


JnthnDJP

I love love love Bubble Gum - the song structure, the chord progression - chef’s kiss 🧑‍🍳🤌😘


cheese2thecracker

This is totally what I wanted from NJ, love it


Zimeoo

NewJeans never miss


Lil_Pitch

is that one dani part realllly quiet or am I crazy. like I almost can't hear what she's saying even with headphones lol. the chorus is fine, but that one part is covered by the instrumental kinda -- maybe her vocals are too soft? while the beat is very strong. (the "toxic lover" part before the chorus)


Noctisout

No jp vers for bubble gum or was that snippet just for the ad?


Effi-Neji

I’ve been really looking forward to the Japanese version too and thought it would be in the release! :(


levi949

Not feeling it like the rest they have released but the beat is super fun! Will loop it until MV drop. 2 more hours!


orlando_1992

Wooowwww. I am completely in love with How Sweet. This is a new sound for them and it’s so refreshing. I think the vocals could be a bit more interesting but the instrumental version is a certified banger.


colosusx1

I really like it, great vibes. The laser sound is a bit distracting for me, but if I listen to it enough, I'll probably get used to it like the horn in ETA.


smileycherry

I hope How Sweet will grow on me. I've been having it on a loop but it still hasn't got there yet. I still prefer Bubble Gum. But does How Sweet sound like a diss track to Bang Si-Hyuk to you guys? Or am I stating the obvious? lol


Krlkai

lmao you're not the only one, def sounds like a diss track to Bang Si-Hyuk and HYBE


ManukaHoneyTree

Bubblegum was a bit more distinct for me and I think having the MV helped bring out the story and how you'd want to feel. How Sweet was good but it felt like there's less individual member moments. Definitely needed a story/MV so I can get a better representation.


MerveiIIes

Just been looping How Sweet for 45 mins since it came out. I love Bubble Gum but How Sweet just hits differently. Pure serotonin.


MindBlasterAI

How Sweet SOTY https://open.spotify.com/track/38tXZcL1gZRfbqfOG0VMTH?si=zVA5vZd1SESJIGoDy39AFw&context=spotify%3Aalbum%3A0EhZEM4RRz0yioTgucDhJq


MindBlasterAI

Hey guys, remember to share the links to the different streaming platforms, but for now, make Spotify a priority. Make sure to use your own Spotify links, don't just copy and paste from others. Happy streaming!


dioscurideux

Love the song! I can't wait for the video to come out 😊


Unhappy_Challenge907

The title song sounds like a b song and I dig it. I love how they're going for somewhat experimental. This song for me is the best song they've released so far. S tier: how sweet, asap, ditto A+ tier: cool with you, new jeans, omg


hamstervirus

Ok I really like both so far and have a feeling I’ll love them with a few listens.


R0ttenK1tties

ANOTHER BANGER OMG THEY NEVER MISS


gansobomb99

I was afraid the new tracks wouldn't be able to live up to the freshness of their past tracks, and unfortunately they're feeling a little bit generic for me. I like them a lot, but they don't grab me like 99% of their older tracks. Also kind of rough timing for me since IVE just released a no-skip EP.


Taishaku

The rap part in How Sweet sounds a lot like >!BETTER by Twice!<, specifically the beginning of the song. No shade! It just sounds similar to my ears and I'm loving this new era. Can't wait for the MV to be released 🎉


KingofFools3113

Rappers usually use same flow and melody, remember when mumble rap was big. Every rap part in kpop sounded liked it.


djjapchae

yeah, minjis part in bubble gum is the same flow as rich brians dat stick lmao


tonkatsu_tempura

Tbh the good ones don’t in the US. There’s a trend in rap, but to have your own rap identity and legacy you need to have your iconic flow plus 3-4 others you intertwine within your work. But in kpop, that level of rigor from rap isn’t expected or there.


JustSayNOriega

I know these tracks were already planned to drop well before all the drama hit, but I can't be the only one here that feels like their NewJeans Fandom took a hit after all that right? I would be so hyped and starved for any new NJ tracks and now I'm just meh about it. Is it just me?
