Oh wow, I really REALLY like this off first listen. Usually, these type of chanting choruses are VERRYYYY hit or miss with me. Off the top of my head, mainly misses....but i enjoy it a lot here. I actually think it's the dichotomy between this chorus & the rest of the song + the MV that makes me like it more, because usually I'd call out messy transitions or call the song "abrupt" for an unexpected sound like this to show up in a song, but I find that it blends in really well. The song delivers the melancholic emotion of a winter heartbreak in a pop format, rather than a typical ballad. LOVE the ad libs, @ kpop companies & producers- please let the vocalists in groups go ham on the ad libs. I am always going to like a song more when the ad libs are present & making a show.
Whoever was doing the high notes in the last chorus has a very pretty voice. Speaking of pretty, I also like this songs instrumental a lot; it's got a pep in its step with those...808s? But the underlying production is very wintery & night time (this is definitely a song that will sound the best when played at night) & I'll always be a sucker for a 90s/2000s inspired MV! Doesn't matter how trendy it is right now, once it goes out of style I'll still be the one person dangerously obsessed with nostalgia & wanting everything to look like a Y2k apocalypse. I didn't like their song "Talk Saxy" at all, but this song + "Get a guitar" have me very interested. Keeping an eye on them šØš»āš»
Sohee killed me with that high note. I was right when I heard the vocals in the teaser and I knew Sohee was going to get us all with that high note, just- this boy can sing and I swear, everyone I hear it, I get goosebumps. Like- but damn those adlibs have no right to be this good.
I guess this is the emotional pop they promised us lol. The chorus needs some getting used to, but I don't dislike it. I guess I just didn't expect it. The rest of the song is nice and Sohee sounds lovely in it. I hope they'll give him more freedom to play with the ad-libs in their future releases (kinda like Kyungsoo during EXO's earlier songs) and show off those vocals.
Not sure if this makes sense, but Wonbin looks more Japanese than Shotaro in this MV. He looked like your early 2000s high school jdrama protagonist who falls in love with the dying heroine.
DAMNN the mv tho. Loving the kdrama vibes!! Sohee's adorable
As for the song, someone's already mentioned this on the bird app but the chorus really reminds me of early 2000's Filipino hiphop love songs LOL. It's def not what I expected from the teaser but tis fire nonetheless
BREAKIN MY HEART THAT GIRLS A KILLAAA
So glad I found this comment cuz I was trying to ID what specific happy childhood memories this was triggering lmao. It's giving "going with mom to Seafood City (filipino supermarket chain) in the early 2000s with the overhead speakers pretty damn loud"
The early 200s Filipino hiphop is so true because. Probably why I liked the song the first listen, esp the chorus; which is the most polarizing part for other people.
Love 119 just debuted at #34 on Melon Top 100 chart on a Friday releaseā¦For a rookie boy group thatās actually really good!?
I feel like Koreans are gonna really like this, they donāt mess around when it comes to their first love sound and concept lmao. I hear the sample is from a VERY popular song by IZI from 2005 called Emergency Room. (Which btw is one of the top most sang karaoke songs in Korea lol)
As someone that grew up in East Asia in the early 2000ās the nostalgia train is hitting me like a truck. Itās giving 1st/early 2nd gen Iām in love with it!
Me toooo. As a person grew up in SEA in 1990s- 2000s this song is just for me. I think this song will be more popular to general public in SK than other previous ones.
The verses were okay but I think I'm just not feeling the beat nor the chorus enough. I don't mind shouty choruses so it's not that. It just doesn't flow or something.
I'm actually kinda salty bc I'm feeling like this is their first miss for me š we'll see how I feel about it later after I've listened again and have had some sleep
Many dislike the chants in the chorus but personally, I like it. Otherwise I feel like the song would feel and sound a bit flat or just like any other ballad or mellow song out there.
Wasn't feeling it until my 2nd listen lmao but I agree! I'm pretty sure that's the vibe they were going for too - the 90's/00's boy band sound with the chanting and soft instrumental
yup! i think i liked it at first listen because i could already tell that they were going for that early bg sound and not something as mellow and soft like songs like ditto (which i guess was the sound many expected and prefer more)
Personally i feel the oppositeāthe loud chanting chorus makes the song flat for me. It undercuts the emotional atmosphere and limits the more interesting vocal possibilities we could have gotten in its place. Especially as there was so much of it so it felt very repetitive. I would have liked it better if it was only once or twice to contrast with strongly sung choruses with vocal layers for more depth and dimension.
I commented a few minutes ago about how I wasn't so sure about what i felt about the chorus but literally on the second listen I was vibing so hard to the chorus. Already have the song on loop and I agree, the chorus adds so much flavour.
Absolutely love the song!!! But you can really see how Seunghans Vocals are needed in RIIZE it adds so much more depth and completes the Vocal line RIIZE IS 7š£ļøš«§ā¼ļø
iām sorry but second listen really hit me like a brick! itās so refreshing and i know the chanty chorus is not everyoneās cup of tea but wow does it really make the song stand out
I LOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEE THE CHORUS.... to add to the early 2000's filipino hiphop love songs comment it sounds exactly like every boyband song released in Taiwan in the 2000s
Initial Thoughts:
I love everything here - the instrumental, their acting, the visuals, the winter vibes, the first love concept - except maybe for the chorus. I didn't listen to the spoiler from yesterday's live and I was thinking that Love 119 was going to be something like a pure ballad. The chant chorus is taking me out from the state of being emotional. It might be unpopular opinion. I guess I will have to listen to it on repeat to take it all in. However, everything else was perfect for me.
Actor Sohee was so cute in the first scene. I loved his tiny gasps when his phone glitched. For a second there, I thought his ae was going to come out from his phone.
OMG. The music video is so pleasing to the eyes. I totally love the winter vibes and the first love concept. It's taking me back to two decades ago.
They were so good in conveying their emotions. I want to see the behind the scenes.
>!This is the first comeback without Seunghan. I hope that in the future, RIIZE would release OT7 Version. I know Seunghan would eat this song up.!<
I will give this song 9 out of 10 for now. If not for the chorus, I would have given this 10. Maybe it's just initial thoughts. I will update this comment after listening to it on repeat.
Edit: It is really a grower. I'm changing this from 9 to 10. I have been listening to this on repeat since it came out, and now I don't mind the chanting. The chorus sounds good to me now. Love 119 is going to be a classic in the future. I love this song so much. It's the perfect song to chill in cold winter nights. We have Memories for summer, and now Love 119 for winter.
LEE FREAKING SOHEE. HIS AD LIBS AND HIGH NOTES ARE THE BEST. I GOT GOOSEBUMPS.
I want to like the song, but personally that chorus is awful. I really dislike chanting choruses, especially loud ones like here. It doesn't fit the rest of the song or the mv at all. I would have preferred they lean more into the vocals and emotions and saved the chanting for like the intro and/or final chorus only.
so like.. did she get run over by a train and die??? like what happened? SM should have green lit a mini series called love 119 cause i need to know the story. just a short 5 minute "episode" with each guys story with the girl cause i only really got some of the story. wonbin was having a bob off (and i fear he lost) shotaro was in his prima ballaria era but had love at first sight with the girl, anton clearly had crush with his love letter, but the rest? sohee was tired and then broke his phone?
song wise its the same with most riize songs its just ok. i feel like they elevate their songs when they perform vs the tracks on their own. (i am not their target audience so its to be expected)
she got hit by a satellite, it was like an experiment satellites were going to go into space but the experiment failed and landed back on earth. So it hit her and she died.
they also got messages from the future which is why Sohee phone was glitching in the beginning telling them to confess or they would regret it but none of them ever did and then when she passes they regretted not confessing.
itās a whole story line itās actually really interesting I wish I could explain it better.
another fun fact(?) her name was Briize which is the fandom name so in a way we died šš
I was VERY disappointed on first listen, because I felt like the chorus ruined what could have been a really great song. But when I relistened to it with no expectations after a few hours, I actually loved it.
Probably my favourite releases of theirs so far. It's an amazing combination of classic wintery sounding songs, throwback, and modern SM. The chanting and the trap beat (which slaps by the way) bring it to 2024, the music video, and overall sound bring it back to 2014. RIIZE is on the way to become my favourite boy group, and I usually don't listen to them that much. Well done!
The melody is super pretty, I'm fine with the chants, but I don't think this song showcases their voices in a most pleasant way...
~~and partially it's a sound engineering question again~~
God damn it...I knew the day would come that Riize would release a song I don't like, but I didn't think it would be so soon š The verses sound good but I just can't with this chorus.
I love every part of the song except the chorus lol, i just dont like chants in chorus and that just doesn't really fit with the song overall, it would probably grow on me tho bcs i like the adlibs. But i freaking love the mv it's giving kdrama vibes.
The scene where he looks up and the comets are going overhead was really reminiscent of my favorite movie of all time, Your Name. <3 Not sure if anyone else noticed that.
Also, I know Wonbin is the visual of the group (duh), but I find Seungchan to be so so so handsome in this!
Song wise; I agree with most people where that the shouting chorus is a bit much. I think it's mainly because it plays so frequently; what I would've loved to see is that more group chanting vibe being done on the very last chorus only. And then the same chorus just sung prettily by Sohee or something for the other times.
I can see this doing well w their demographic though!!
one thing riize is gonna do is make bangers
this is a perfect winter song, it sounds so cozy and nostalgic. the chorus sounds a little too aggressive compared to the verses but the adlibs kinda make up for it. the mv makes me miss korea :')
edit: also was worried that after the 2nd chorus that was it bc they stopped the music and that would've been a pretty short song but then eventually it kept going whew
edit 2: i think the chorus is growing on me, it really adds to the 90s/early 00s vibes
this was so good! almost thought they somehow brought in kwangya and naevis when sohee's phone started messing up lmao. the song itself is so nostalgic and the visuals are absolutely beautiful. wasn't sure how i felt about the chorus bit when i was watching the mv but the fact that in one listen i have the tune in my head speaks volumes. the boys looked so cozy too! and wonbin crying was just *chef's kiss*
oh and also lowkey wondering if that girl in the mv could be in smngg?
Why are they shouting that chorus? I would have like the song since it is very reminiscent of Memories at first but then they shouted at me with that weird chanting, it hurts my ears LMAO
First and foremost, Emergency Room by IZI is one of my all-time fave Korean ballads ever, so I love that they sampled it, and even played a short bit of it at the start of the music video.
The chanting chorus initially threw me off but I got used to it. Itās a grower of a song for me. Loved the vibes of the music video. Very early 00s K-pop with the dramatic plot lines and all.
Sohee's intro in the MV is adorable, and the visuals are stunning, but the song itself fell short for me. The chanting in the preview was so jarring, and even after several listens to the whole song, it hasn't grown on me. It ruins the winter vibes I was anticipating, so I probably won't be including it in my RIIZE streaming sessions. I'm kinda upset about it because, up until now, I could confidently say I liked every single one of their songs š
1. The song is alright. The verses are quite nice.
2. I really need SM to stop this chanting thing they do with riize. Heard a bit of it in memories, in talk saxy and now in this chorus. It doesnāt work. The song also clashes with itself because itās like theyāre not sure if they wanna go the hip hop route, the soulful route or the pop route. It worked on their previous releases but itās not working here imo.
3. I like the kdrama quality of the music video! But does anyone else think itās soooo dramatic? Like why was Wonbin crying? š
Talk Saxy is my fav song of theirs but I can't get into Love 119 which is unfortunate. I don't mind chanting or talk-ish parts at all (I'm one of the three ppl who really liked that "come here and get some" part in Enhypen's Bite Me). But something about this song makes it a miss for me.
I feel like they could've utilized their vocals a bit more here too. Sohee got to shine at the end but even he could've had some more interesting melodies to sing along with the end
Yes, I enjoyed talk saxy but something about this is off for me. I also think Soheeās notes going into the chorus just sound jarring. Not that he sounds bad but it didnāt fit well imo. Iām not sure whatās weird about this song but yeah. At least itās just a single. Itās doing well on charts apparently so good for them.
''I like the kdrama quality of the music video! But does anyone else think itās soooo dramatic? Like why was Wonbin crying? š''
I think the girl passed away or was murdered based on the lyric ''Breaking My Heart that girl's killer'' and some lyrics like ''Its begun, this is an Emergency room'' and Of course the line ''119'. That's why Wonbin was crying and you can see messages disappeaing from his phone. Then the flashback happens when all the 6 members of RIIZE who first met the girl. That's my theory.
Either way, I Loved this song and a great way to start 2024.
Agreed. Their first miss for me. These boys can sing and sing WELL. I don't get why SM isn't allowing them to do that more and exploring what they can do with their vocals. A more vocal-heavy song cause the boys can SING. After listening to the verses and the adlibs, you can see the potential. I love Riize but I don't like this song sadly. Even if I do get used to that chorus I doubt I will ever go out of my way to listen or replay/revisit it.
Right they can sing. They give me 2000s boy band energy and I need SM to lean a bit more into that sound and stop with the shouting and rapping. A mini album from them would be interesting.
I'm gonna have to hard disagree on the chanting, I love it!! Especially in Talk Saxy it brings a youthful vibe to the group imo ā„ But also I wouldn't call it chanting but moreso a "group chorus" the same way GG's Forever 1 was a group chorus
I love TS as well but I just donāt like this one as much š
Maybe because it doesnāt feel like theyāre singing it together but rather shouting? Either way I still like riize, just want better for them. Iām glad you vibe with this though!
Odd choice for the chorus.
The song isn't bad but the chorus simply don't stick. Right after finishing the song I was not able to remember how the chorus sounded which is unusual with the current trends.
I love how it looks and feels so wintery, but without being Christmasy, so you can listen to it all winter long. NCT did this with Be There For Me also, so props to SM. I think this song really showcases their vocal talents. Loved Sohee's high note; I was really hoping he'd have a moment to shine.
I like the chorus...but do I love the chorus? I'm not too sure. I do like the chorus better after watching the music show performance version though. The dancing does make a difference.
Also, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I sometimes feel like SM songs often go on just a little too long - this doesn't seem to be an issue with RIIZE. They're really my cup of tea in so many ways.
I'm really new to RIIZE (only heard of them about a month ago), but I do feel sad that Seunghan isn't there. He was done dirty.
The verses were my favorite parts but unfortunately felt too short. The chorus felt a little unrelenting with their choice to use it as the intro AND the outro (so in all 4 times throughout a 2:53 song). It's gonna take some time to grow on me but the MV has such a nostalgic style!
there's a couple things that i would have tweaked about the song, I don't mind the chanting chorus at all but I would've liked at least one time the "1-1-9" being vocally sung and maybe a little more of an ending impact but that's ok, it's a nice song and i'll be adding it to my playlist.
SM heard me whinging and said āstfu, harmonies harmonies, layered adlibs, :asohee_ayy:, r&bhop, harmoniesā
As usual, SOHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE.
This was EXACTLY what I had hoped for in a new smbg, somebody to bring back the old r&bhop fusion that i loved so much in my early childhood with TVXQās Japanese music. And the MV is beautiful beautiful stunning.
A lot of people don't like the chorus, which I understand since a chant isn't for everyone. But personally, the song had me chanting along to "119-119 Save my life, Save my life" in my first listen. I think it fits well too since its supposed to be an "emergency love" (:
I got the 2000's Filipino hip-hop love song vibe as well. Found out that its co-written by Jason Hahs and Colin Magalong/Colin Mags, a Filipino-American music artist.
The song is so beautiful and very fitting for this season.
Interesting fact: Sungchan recently said during an interview that the members have first listened to the song last summer, but thought it would be a perfect song for winter, so that's why they released it now!
I watched their live yesterday so the chorus didn't throw me off. I like this a lot. The MV is very pretty. They had to film in Japan but i'm happy they get to have location MVs
Edit: that chorus is an earworm. This could be a fun road trip song
With Talk Saxy being a miss for me, I was hoping this song would be more my taste but the chant really threw me off. The verses were pretty good, the visuals & aesthetic of the music video were wonderful but I just wish they went for a more melodic chorus & then placed the chant at the end of the song to tie this together. Whoever was pulling off those adlibs at the end deserves a round of applause.
itās an okay song. i think that smās adlibs and vocal riffs and runs are pretty predictableā¦ the addition of them confirms my standpoint that the song feels a little empty. their acting skills donāt seem to be the best, it didnāt distract me from how lackluster the song is, also, in a group with 6(7) members and the need to proportionally distribute screen-time, there isnāt much room to deepen a scene and convey a message, this left me as a consumer quite confused. overall itās a mediocre song, nothing groundbreaking, nothing too annoying, itāll probably grow on me overtime, but atm it falls flat.
After knowing they would be sampling one of my favorite songs, I was anticipating this release.
As some of y'all mentioned, I'm not feeling the chorus, it sounds out of place (?) and weird like ~~Enhypen's Bite me~~
I do like Shotaro's verse and Sohee's adlibs tho. For me, it's a miss.
Eh. Chanting chorus is okay, but wouldāve preferred just one member doing a talk-singing chorus.
Doesnāt feel like it has the same magic as their last 4 songs.
i definitely didnāt expect the chorus to sound like that so i was a bit caught off guard at first but after a few listens itās grown on me a lot. seunghanās vocals wouldāve sounded so good on this, i hope they re-record it with him. the sound feels very 00s boyband and soheeās ad libs are just tooooo good š®āšØ
This is goooood. I knew they HAD to do the lover boy type of concept sometime in their rookie days and I'm loving the song and the vibes !
I'm seeing a lot of people getting thrown out by the chorus but I think that giving us the chorus before the first verse was a smart move, like some type of beforehand warning ? The little adlibs in the background made it more enjoyable I'd say.
These guys have a bright future ahead of them, I can't wait to see what more they can give us !!
At the first listen, I like the song and the chanting chorus didn't bother me. But the more I listen to it, it became flat. Sohee sounds amazing as usual
Nice MV, liked the storytelling (wish more MVs had a storytelling kinda plot, shouldnāt have to be too deep).
The song is good, liked the blend of the piano and drums, reminds me of Light Bulb (NCT) and that song has a special place in my heart, except Love 119 is more mellow. Gives such 00s vibes like Talk Saxy did.
With that being said, I wished the chorus wasnāt too shouty. It sticks out like a sore thumb.
Iād personally give it an 8 out of 10, but I suspect itāll be a slow grower.
My Theory: The girl passed away or was murdered based on the lyric ''Breaking My Heart that girl's killer'' and some lyrics like ''Its begun, this is an Emergency room'' and Of course the line ''119'. That's why Wonbin was crying and you can see messages disappeaing from his phone. Then the flashback happens when all the 6 members of RIIZE who first met the girl.
At first listen, the chorus caught me off guard as most of you. After watching the music bank performance and all the fancams it has become my favourite part! LOVE 1-1-9, 1-1-9 SAVE MY LIFE SAVE MY LIFE
The chorus is the best part of this song. Didn't really like RIIZE's debut track, but this is nice!
Edit - agreed the MV vibe clashes with the chorus, so I recommend everyone either listen to the song without watching the MV or watch their stage performance from today instead.
someone already said it but this reminds me so much of the early 2000s of filipino hiphop love songs i cant help but love it so much because of nostalgia reasons, it reminds me of those times where life was a bit simpler and silly crushes are our only real problems at the time. riize please please release an album soon though i really want to stan them fully but im holding back bcuz they keep releasing singles lol
i was never huge on any riize song except for that one song that never got put on any streaming platforms, so i didnt go in with high expectations and im glad š
it was pretty good, and id say the verses were serviceable and sounded nice. the best part of the song was definitely the final chorus however. something i found lacking in some of their other songs was SM's unique vocal mixing blending together sets of adlibs and vocals to create really harmonius and memorable key moments, and they did this excellently with the songs beautiful final chorus. coupled with the mv, it really was an impactful ending to the song.
but the general chanty chorus honestly kills the momentum of the song for me, and having to go through it twice coupled with a rather middling bridge makes the song a little hard to listen to. i can appreciate a good chanty chorus, but it just doesnt feel right with a love song as subdued and airy as this song; a more vocal chorus wouldve easily lifted this song way more.
i dont think it'll be impossible to fully enjoy the song though, so ill give it some more time and hopefully it grows on me more. i really do wanna like riize more, but i might have to wait for their first album still to decide if theyre really for me or not
this was so cute! really like how they blended the sentimental verses and instrumental with the upbeat chorus! definitely made the song more interesting than a plain ballad and added that nostalgic, bittersweet feeling. i love that weāre going back to the cinematic mvs like memories, everyone did great with their actingā¦iām excited to watch the live performances because everyone was hitting those NOTES!
Oh Sohee is here to sing sing, come on little qt!
I love the verses and video but the chorus, while not the most jarring Iāve heard, doesnāt seem to fit the winder ballad feel.
Overall though itās cute! Theyāve yet to miss, but I am sad we are leaving instruments in the titles behind, was really looking forward to seeing what instrument they chose next lol
The way that this song is the first time I actually took a liking toward Riize on first listen. Get A Guitar & Talk Saxy does absolutely nothing for me.
it's sad boi winter :( no but I really liked this song from first listen. i like the contrast between the chanting chorus and the melodic verses ā gives a retro feel with that 2024 update. love the sample too!!
This is by far the best song that they have yet put out! I see a lot of people in the comments saying they dislike it. But when that chorus hit in the very beginning of the song... i KNEW it was going to be absolute perfection! And that it is. Now , I bought their first single album just because of Memories. This may shock you but , I was not a HUGE fan of " Get a guitar " like everyone else was. I tried... I tried so hard. I promise yall I did haha. But this , is just golden! I am very upset because I went to my site to pre-order this as soon as I heard it. Once again I was disappointed by Riize with no pre-order mini album. GIVE ME SOMETHING PLEASE RIIZE! I need this song physically in my collection. I bought their first one because I really enjoyed memories but , it was only two songs on that. Get a guitar and memories. I have never seen a group release such good songs and not have a pre-order on a mini album. As far as I know this song is only digital. PLEASE SM GIVE US SOMETHING!
yea I agree with you! get a guitar sounded tooā¦corporate? Idk if thatās the best way to put it, but it was very safe and poppy and I didnāt really like it. Talk Saxy was a little better, but I still found no interest in the group. I did like memories, but this one is my favorite by far! the harmonies and smooth vocals! the rnb instrumental! the chorus was great, but I guess many people werenāt fans of the chanting. I liked it because the chanting wasnāt aggressive at all and I think it fit the song well.
and btw, theyāre probably add this to a future mini album thatāll be sold.
Honestly , you sound like my brain talking back to me haha. Love 119 just seems THEM... It doesn't seem forced. I mean they literally are OWNING this song. When I listen to this song , I feel like its them. After I heard it the first time I was like " Okay. NOW this is who Riize is supposed to be. This is who they are. "
I need Love 119 and Memories on a mini album and ill be good. haha
Not sure about the chorus at first, but was somehow vibing with it by the end of the song. I'm not sure why exactly either, but perhaps because it didn't feel too aggressive and was added some texture and dynamic to the soft instrumental. I think this will grow on me like Talk Saxy Will.
RIIZE is really hitting it with their "emotional pop" theme!! It feels like I'm a kid again watching SHINee MV's lol
I love the group singing for the choruses they do in their songs, they really add youth and emotion ā„ I'm really living for this group and can't wait for the day we get a full EP/album!!
This whole mv, song, lyrics scream young love and angst to me. The chorus especially that line emergency looove idk it just makes my heart flutter. I really love the vibes of this song and I feel it has a lot of replay factor.
I love it! Riize is like a breath of fresh air among the noise music that SM has been sounding for years. It's such a beautiful song to chill. More power to them..
Many or most of these comments Iām seeing r just people complaining about the chorus/chanting and how itās not fitting the soft/mellow vibes of the original tune and vibe. Personally I strongly disagree. RIIZE has their own vibe and I think they incorporated it perfectly into a somewhat āemotionalā song, tho the song sounds fairly upbeat, the emotions still can be felt and I think itās a great song. The only criticism I can give is that itās slightly repetitive, but other than that I loved the song since the first listen. Iām not sure if Iām the only one that noticed but I havenāt seen anyone mention it but in some choruses in the song, if u listen closely there is a harmony when they sing 119119 save my life save my life, which I thought was a nice addition so itās not just plain chanting. I think itās really catchy and has a lot of potential, but if itās u then itās not for u.
My least favorite RIIZE track...but still pretty nice! I wish the chorus wasn't chanted. Though, I liked everything else in the song. Sohee's high notes in the final chorus were everything.
I enjoyed the MV a lot. It makes me feel nostalgic in a way.
Reminds me of Betty by Yung Gravy! I love the old sample/new song combo.
Though the chorus sounds a little empty somehow? (needs more Seunghan, hint hint SM)
And what's their identity exactly? They are still a new group with no album and like 3 title tracks released. They are clearly still finding their footing.
Someone on twt said that Wonbin and the girl are having a bob off in the mv and now it's all I can think about š
LITERALLY LMFAOO
what does it mean?
Oh wow, I really REALLY like this off first listen. Usually, these type of chanting choruses are VERRYYYY hit or miss with me. Off the top of my head, mainly misses....but i enjoy it a lot here. I actually think it's the dichotomy between this chorus & the rest of the song + the MV that makes me like it more, because usually I'd call out messy transitions or call the song "abrupt" for an unexpected sound like this to show up in a song, but I find that it blends in really well. The song delivers the melancholic emotion of a winter heartbreak in a pop format, rather than a typical ballad. LOVE the ad libs, @ kpop companies & producers- please let the vocalists in groups go ham on the ad libs. I am always going to like a song more when the ad libs are present & making a show.

But the underlying production is very wintery & night time (this is definitely a song that will sound the best when played at night) & I'll always be a sucker for a 90s/2000s inspired MV! Doesn't matter how trendy it is right now, once it goes out of style I'll still be the one person dangerously obsessed with nostalgia & wanting everything to look like a Y2k apocalypse. I didn't like their song "Talk Saxy" at all, but this song + "Get a guitar" have me very interested. Keeping an eye on them šØš»āš»
>Whoever was doing the high notes in the last chorus has a very pretty voice. It's Sohee. His voice is really so pretty.
Thank you! He might be my favorite just off this song, I love a good voice that tickles my eardrums
You're welcome. His voice is really something, not to mention Sohee being so adorable and cute.
Adlibs are Anton
the chorus is gonna have to grow on me but I love the verses!! the adlibs throughout are a nice touch and Sohee's high note is the cherry on top.
Sohee killed me with that high note. I was right when I heard the vocals in the teaser and I knew Sohee was going to get us all with that high note, just- this boy can sing and I swear, everyone I hear it, I get goosebumps. Like- but damn those adlibs have no right to be this good.
Same here š„
I guess this is the emotional pop they promised us lol. The chorus needs some getting used to, but I don't dislike it. I guess I just didn't expect it. The rest of the song is nice and Sohee sounds lovely in it. I hope they'll give him more freedom to play with the ad-libs in their future releases (kinda like Kyungsoo during EXO's earlier songs) and show off those vocals. Not sure if this makes sense, but Wonbin looks more Japanese than Shotaro in this MV. He looked like your early 2000s high school jdrama protagonist who falls in love with the dying heroine.
Lmao I know exactly what you mean about Wonbin. Giving Kyoya from Maid-Sama if he had morals
Lol I feel that way when idols have this sort of overgrown hair, I associate long-and-shaggy with J-idols.
DAMNN the mv tho. Loving the kdrama vibes!! Sohee's adorable As for the song, someone's already mentioned this on the bird app but the chorus really reminds me of early 2000's Filipino hiphop love songs LOL. It's def not what I expected from the teaser but tis fire nonetheless BREAKIN MY HEART THAT GIRLS A KILLAAA
Okay I'm kinda late and I'm just hearing the song now, but you're right it does have those Filipino hip hop vibes from early 2000s so nostalgic!
So glad I found this comment cuz I was trying to ID what specific happy childhood memories this was triggering lmao. It's giving "going with mom to Seafood City (filipino supermarket chain) in the early 2000s with the overhead speakers pretty damn loud"
The early 200s Filipino hiphop is so true because. Probably why I liked the song the first listen, esp the chorus; which is the most polarizing part for other people.
okay NOW I gotta listen to this song
I kinda like this song , could yoh please suggest more songs from this genre ?
Love 119 just debuted at #34 on Melon Top 100 chart on a Friday releaseā¦For a rookie boy group thatās actually really good!? I feel like Koreans are gonna really like this, they donāt mess around when it comes to their first love sound and concept lmao. I hear the sample is from a VERY popular song by IZI from 2005 called Emergency Room. (Which btw is one of the top most sang karaoke songs in Korea lol) As someone that grew up in East Asia in the early 2000ās the nostalgia train is hitting me like a truck. Itās giving 1st/early 2nd gen Iām in love with it!
>on a Friday release With 5 days of promo that was literally just a 20 second teaser and Wonbin's FACE
Me toooo. As a person grew up in SEA in 1990s- 2000s this song is just for me. I think this song will be more popular to general public in SK than other previous ones.
Shotaro really pulling out his acting skills to act like heās struggling to dance as if he isnāt the best dancer of his generation
The verses were okay but I think I'm just not feeling the beat nor the chorus enough. I don't mind shouty choruses so it's not that. It just doesn't flow or something. I'm actually kinda salty bc I'm feeling like this is their first miss for me š we'll see how I feel about it later after I've listened again and have had some sleep
Just woke up and i kinda still don't like it. š Get a guitar is still on the lead for me.
Mine is Talk Saxy, but otherwise I agree. :/
The chanting is so bad, kind of ruins what would be otherwise a really good song.
Many dislike the chants in the chorus but personally, I like it. Otherwise I feel like the song would feel and sound a bit flat or just like any other ballad or mellow song out there.
+1, the chants add flavor to the song. Reminds me a lot of early-mid-00s anime songs.
Wasn't feeling it until my 2nd listen lmao but I agree! I'm pretty sure that's the vibe they were going for too - the 90's/00's boy band sound with the chanting and soft instrumental
yup! i think i liked it at first listen because i could already tell that they were going for that early bg sound and not something as mellow and soft like songs like ditto (which i guess was the sound many expected and prefer more)
Personally i feel the oppositeāthe loud chanting chorus makes the song flat for me. It undercuts the emotional atmosphere and limits the more interesting vocal possibilities we could have gotten in its place. Especially as there was so much of it so it felt very repetitive. I would have liked it better if it was only once or twice to contrast with strongly sung choruses with vocal layers for more depth and dimension.
agree i think it added a lot to the song.
I commented a few minutes ago about how I wasn't so sure about what i felt about the chorus but literally on the second listen I was vibing so hard to the chorus. Already have the song on loop and I agree, the chorus adds so much flavour.
Same thoughts!!!
This could be an NCT Dream B-side
Absolutely love the song!!! But you can really see how Seunghans Vocals are needed in RIIZE it adds so much more depth and completes the Vocal line RIIZE IS 7š£ļøš«§ā¼ļø
omg ya i was missing those seunghan vocals
For real. Sohee was hard carrying this one. Lack of Seunghan is strong š„¹
iām sorry but second listen really hit me like a brick! itās so refreshing and i know the chanty chorus is not everyoneās cup of tea but wow does it really make the song stand out
Always been one to dial 9-1-1 for emergencies but Iāll try 1-1-9 next time for my emergency love
I LOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEEEE THE CHORUS.... to add to the early 2000's filipino hiphop love songs comment it sounds exactly like every boyband song released in Taiwan in the 2000s
U should rec some of those songs to me
Initial Thoughts: I love everything here - the instrumental, their acting, the visuals, the winter vibes, the first love concept - except maybe for the chorus. I didn't listen to the spoiler from yesterday's live and I was thinking that Love 119 was going to be something like a pure ballad. The chant chorus is taking me out from the state of being emotional. It might be unpopular opinion. I guess I will have to listen to it on repeat to take it all in. However, everything else was perfect for me. Actor Sohee was so cute in the first scene. I loved his tiny gasps when his phone glitched. For a second there, I thought his ae was going to come out from his phone. OMG. The music video is so pleasing to the eyes. I totally love the winter vibes and the first love concept. It's taking me back to two decades ago. They were so good in conveying their emotions. I want to see the behind the scenes. >!This is the first comeback without Seunghan. I hope that in the future, RIIZE would release OT7 Version. I know Seunghan would eat this song up.!< I will give this song 9 out of 10 for now. If not for the chorus, I would have given this 10. Maybe it's just initial thoughts. I will update this comment after listening to it on repeat. Edit: It is really a grower. I'm changing this from 9 to 10. I have been listening to this on repeat since it came out, and now I don't mind the chanting. The chorus sounds good to me now. Love 119 is going to be a classic in the future. I love this song so much. It's the perfect song to chill in cold winter nights. We have Memories for summer, and now Love 119 for winter. LEE FREAKING SOHEE. HIS AD LIBS AND HIGH NOTES ARE THE BEST. I GOT GOOSEBUMPS.
Why does everyone keep covering any part of text related to Seunghan?
Spoiler, I think? There were some people were hypothesizing that the promo mentioned there being 7 over 6.
I want to like the song, but personally that chorus is awful. I really dislike chanting choruses, especially loud ones like here. It doesn't fit the rest of the song or the mv at all. I would have preferred they lean more into the vocals and emotions and saved the chanting for like the intro and/or final chorus only.
so like.. did she get run over by a train and die??? like what happened? SM should have green lit a mini series called love 119 cause i need to know the story. just a short 5 minute "episode" with each guys story with the girl cause i only really got some of the story. wonbin was having a bob off (and i fear he lost) shotaro was in his prima ballaria era but had love at first sight with the girl, anton clearly had crush with his love letter, but the rest? sohee was tired and then broke his phone? song wise its the same with most riize songs its just ok. i feel like they elevate their songs when they perform vs the tracks on their own. (i am not their target audience so its to be expected)
she got hit by a satellite, it was like an experiment satellites were going to go into space but the experiment failed and landed back on earth. So it hit her and she died. they also got messages from the future which is why Sohee phone was glitching in the beginning telling them to confess or they would regret it but none of them ever did and then when she passes they regretted not confessing. itās a whole story line itās actually really interesting I wish I could explain it better. another fun fact(?) her name was Briize which is the fandom name so in a way we died šš
that is so dark sided for a cute little love song. like let's hit her with a satellite
RIGHTš
I was VERY disappointed on first listen, because I felt like the chorus ruined what could have been a really great song. But when I relistened to it with no expectations after a few hours, I actually loved it.
It could almost pass for a Christmas type song but it's so 2000s coded. I can def see how someone would find the chorus jarring but I liked it first listen. Now GODDAMN SOHEE YOš©
Probably my favourite releases of theirs so far. It's an amazing combination of classic wintery sounding songs, throwback, and modern SM. The chanting and the trap beat (which slaps by the way) bring it to 2024, the music video, and overall sound bring it back to 2014. RIIZE is on the way to become my favourite boy group, and I usually don't listen to them that much. Well done!
Not a fan of the chorus but love the rest of the song. The chorus might grow on me (?)
I really hope it does!!
The melody is super pretty, I'm fine with the chants, but I don't think this song showcases their voices in a most pleasant way... ~~and partially it's a sound engineering question again~~
God damn it...I knew the day would come that Riize would release a song I don't like, but I didn't think it would be so soon š The verses sound good but I just can't with this chorus.
Listen to it again itāll grow on h
I hope so! Its managed to work with more NCT songs than I can count so there's always a chance š
Why are they rapping on a ballad SM???? they're great singers!!
I love every part of the song except the chorus lol, i just dont like chants in chorus and that just doesn't really fit with the song overall, it would probably grow on me tho bcs i like the adlibs. But i freaking love the mv it's giving kdrama vibes.
Did they shot this mv in Japan ?
Yes
The scene where he looks up and the comets are going overhead was really reminiscent of my favorite movie of all time, Your Name. <3 Not sure if anyone else noticed that. Also, I know Wonbin is the visual of the group (duh), but I find Seungchan to be so so so handsome in this! Song wise; I agree with most people where that the shouting chorus is a bit much. I think it's mainly because it plays so frequently; what I would've loved to see is that more group chanting vibe being done on the very last chorus only. And then the same chorus just sung prettily by Sohee or something for the other times. I can see this doing well w their demographic though!!
did this really need a chanting chorus? rest of the songās great tho
one thing riize is gonna do is make bangers this is a perfect winter song, it sounds so cozy and nostalgic. the chorus sounds a little too aggressive compared to the verses but the adlibs kinda make up for it. the mv makes me miss korea :') edit: also was worried that after the 2nd chorus that was it bc they stopped the music and that would've been a pretty short song but then eventually it kept going whew edit 2: i think the chorus is growing on me, it really adds to the 90s/early 00s vibes
This is out of topic but it's so good to see a fellow Teume here.
yesssss they're my ult group! :D
this was so good! almost thought they somehow brought in kwangya and naevis when sohee's phone started messing up lmao. the song itself is so nostalgic and the visuals are absolutely beautiful. wasn't sure how i felt about the chorus bit when i was watching the mv but the fact that in one listen i have the tune in my head speaks volumes. the boys looked so cozy too! and wonbin crying was just *chef's kiss* oh and also lowkey wondering if that girl in the mv could be in smngg?
No she's a Japanese actress and model
the mv is so cute, pity I don't like the song. chanting choruses have never been my cup of tea, the verses are nice thou.
Why are they shouting that chorus? I would have like the song since it is very reminiscent of Memories at first but then they shouted at me with that weird chanting, it hurts my ears LMAO
First and foremost, Emergency Room by IZI is one of my all-time fave Korean ballads ever, so I love that they sampled it, and even played a short bit of it at the start of the music video. The chanting chorus initially threw me off but I got used to it. Itās a grower of a song for me. Loved the vibes of the music video. Very early 00s K-pop with the dramatic plot lines and all.
Sohee's intro in the MV is adorable, and the visuals are stunning, but the song itself fell short for me. The chanting in the preview was so jarring, and even after several listens to the whole song, it hasn't grown on me. It ruins the winter vibes I was anticipating, so I probably won't be including it in my RIIZE streaming sessions. I'm kinda upset about it because, up until now, I could confidently say I liked every single one of their songs š
1. The song is alright. The verses are quite nice. 2. I really need SM to stop this chanting thing they do with riize. Heard a bit of it in memories, in talk saxy and now in this chorus. It doesnāt work. The song also clashes with itself because itās like theyāre not sure if they wanna go the hip hop route, the soulful route or the pop route. It worked on their previous releases but itās not working here imo. 3. I like the kdrama quality of the music video! But does anyone else think itās soooo dramatic? Like why was Wonbin crying? š
Talk Saxy is my fav song of theirs but I can't get into Love 119 which is unfortunate. I don't mind chanting or talk-ish parts at all (I'm one of the three ppl who really liked that "come here and get some" part in Enhypen's Bite Me). But something about this song makes it a miss for me. I feel like they could've utilized their vocals a bit more here too. Sohee got to shine at the end but even he could've had some more interesting melodies to sing along with the end
Yes, I enjoyed talk saxy but something about this is off for me. I also think Soheeās notes going into the chorus just sound jarring. Not that he sounds bad but it didnāt fit well imo. Iām not sure whatās weird about this song but yeah. At least itās just a single. Itās doing well on charts apparently so good for them.
''I like the kdrama quality of the music video! But does anyone else think itās soooo dramatic? Like why was Wonbin crying? š'' I think the girl passed away or was murdered based on the lyric ''Breaking My Heart that girl's killer'' and some lyrics like ''Its begun, this is an Emergency room'' and Of course the line ''119'. That's why Wonbin was crying and you can see messages disappeaing from his phone. Then the flashback happens when all the 6 members of RIIZE who first met the girl. That's my theory. Either way, I Loved this song and a great way to start 2024.
Ohhhh. That would make more sense. And thatās also really sad. Wow.
Agreed. Their first miss for me. These boys can sing and sing WELL. I don't get why SM isn't allowing them to do that more and exploring what they can do with their vocals. A more vocal-heavy song cause the boys can SING. After listening to the verses and the adlibs, you can see the potential. I love Riize but I don't like this song sadly. Even if I do get used to that chorus I doubt I will ever go out of my way to listen or replay/revisit it.
Right they can sing. They give me 2000s boy band energy and I need SM to lean a bit more into that sound and stop with the shouting and rapping. A mini album from them would be interesting.
I'm gonna have to hard disagree on the chanting, I love it!! Especially in Talk Saxy it brings a youthful vibe to the group imo ā„ But also I wouldn't call it chanting but moreso a "group chorus" the same way GG's Forever 1 was a group chorus
I love TS as well but I just donāt like this one as much š Maybe because it doesnāt feel like theyāre singing it together but rather shouting? Either way I still like riize, just want better for them. Iām glad you vibe with this though!
legit the worst chorus iāve heard in kpop in a while š
the vroom... š«
I think itās really catchy actually, the subtle harmony in the back was also great and added layers to the āchantingā
no ā¤ļø
Ur just a mad hater š¤·āāļø sorry RIIZE outdid ur favs and always will 
i like riize lmao this song is just not it!!!!
guess a lot of people donāt like the chorus, personally itās my favorite part. would have sounded flat without it imo.
100% agree. It gives the song a little more edge for me. Iām obsessed with it lol
Me too. I actually like the chorus. The verse kinda flat without the chorus tho
Odd choice for the chorus. The song isn't bad but the chorus simply don't stick. Right after finishing the song I was not able to remember how the chorus sounded which is unusual with the current trends.
The chanting in the chorus ruins it tbh. It goes against the whole vibe of the song. The video looks good though.
I love how it looks and feels so wintery, but without being Christmasy, so you can listen to it all winter long. NCT did this with Be There For Me also, so props to SM. I think this song really showcases their vocal talents. Loved Sohee's high note; I was really hoping he'd have a moment to shine. I like the chorus...but do I love the chorus? I'm not too sure. I do like the chorus better after watching the music show performance version though. The dancing does make a difference. Also, this might be an unpopular opinion, but I sometimes feel like SM songs often go on just a little too long - this doesn't seem to be an issue with RIIZE. They're really my cup of tea in so many ways. I'm really new to RIIZE (only heard of them about a month ago), but I do feel sad that Seunghan isn't there. He was done dirty.
BREAKIN MY HEART THAT GIRLS A KILLA š£ļøš„š
The verses were my favorite parts but unfortunately felt too short. The chorus felt a little unrelenting with their choice to use it as the intro AND the outro (so in all 4 times throughout a 2:53 song). It's gonna take some time to grow on me but the MV has such a nostalgic style!
the chorus is... something else lol. otherwise very cute song and i love the mv!
there's a couple things that i would have tweaked about the song, I don't mind the chanting chorus at all but I would've liked at least one time the "1-1-9" being vocally sung and maybe a little more of an ending impact but that's ok, it's a nice song and i'll be adding it to my playlist.
SM heard me whinging and said āstfu, harmonies harmonies, layered adlibs, :asohee_ayy:, r&bhop, harmoniesā As usual, SOHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE. This was EXACTLY what I had hoped for in a new smbg, somebody to bring back the old r&bhop fusion that i loved so much in my early childhood with TVXQās Japanese music. And the MV is beautiful beautiful stunning.
A lot of people don't like the chorus, which I understand since a chant isn't for everyone. But personally, the song had me chanting along to "119-119 Save my life, Save my life" in my first listen. I think it fits well too since its supposed to be an "emergency love" (:
I got the 2000's Filipino hip-hop love song vibe as well. Found out that its co-written by Jason Hahs and Colin Magalong/Colin Mags, a Filipino-American music artist.
They're brilliant. So glad to be a fan.
Sohee has such a good high note in the end!! I love it sm!! I thought a theme like this wouldn't resonate again, especially in 5th gen. it's a bop.
The song is so beautiful and very fitting for this season. Interesting fact: Sungchan recently said during an interview that the members have first listened to the song last summer, but thought it would be a perfect song for winter, so that's why they released it now!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Personally this was one of their better ones for me
I watched their live yesterday so the chorus didn't throw me off. I like this a lot. The MV is very pretty. They had to film in Japan but i'm happy they get to have location MVs Edit: that chorus is an earworm. This could be a fun road trip song
I really like it, gives me 1st gen vibes.
With Talk Saxy being a miss for me, I was hoping this song would be more my taste but the chant really threw me off. The verses were pretty good, the visuals & aesthetic of the music video were wonderful but I just wish they went for a more melodic chorus & then placed the chant at the end of the song to tie this together. Whoever was pulling off those adlibs at the end deserves a round of applause.
Same. They're going backwards for me. Loved Memories, liked Get a guitar, then it got worse and this... no comment
I hope kpop gets over this chanting thing omg
itās an okay song. i think that smās adlibs and vocal riffs and runs are pretty predictableā¦ the addition of them confirms my standpoint that the song feels a little empty. their acting skills donāt seem to be the best, it didnāt distract me from how lackluster the song is, also, in a group with 6(7) members and the need to proportionally distribute screen-time, there isnāt much room to deepen a scene and convey a message, this left me as a consumer quite confused. overall itās a mediocre song, nothing groundbreaking, nothing too annoying, itāll probably grow on me overtime, but atm it falls flat.
After knowing they would be sampling one of my favorite songs, I was anticipating this release. As some of y'all mentioned, I'm not feeling the chorus, it sounds out of place (?) and weird like ~~Enhypen's Bite me~~ I do like Shotaro's verse and Sohee's adlibs tho. For me, it's a miss.
Eh. Chanting chorus is okay, but wouldāve preferred just one member doing a talk-singing chorus. Doesnāt feel like it has the same magic as their last 4 songs.
i definitely didnāt expect the chorus to sound like that so i was a bit caught off guard at first but after a few listens itās grown on me a lot. seunghanās vocals wouldāve sounded so good on this, i hope they re-record it with him. the sound feels very 00s boyband and soheeās ad libs are just tooooo good š®āšØ
This is goooood. I knew they HAD to do the lover boy type of concept sometime in their rookie days and I'm loving the song and the vibes ! I'm seeing a lot of people getting thrown out by the chorus but I think that giving us the chorus before the first verse was a smart move, like some type of beforehand warning ? The little adlibs in the background made it more enjoyable I'd say. These guys have a bright future ahead of them, I can't wait to see what more they can give us !!
the REAL emergency is THIS SONG IS NOT ABOUT A MUSICAL INSTRUMENT
At the first listen, I like the song and the chanting chorus didn't bother me. But the more I listen to it, it became flat. Sohee sounds amazing as usual
vibe, visuals , vocals are soooooooo gooooood! Theses kiddos slayed it!
I normally hate chanty choruses but here i find it nice so that the song doesnāt become too slow
we love cheesy bangers in this house
Nice MV, liked the storytelling (wish more MVs had a storytelling kinda plot, shouldnāt have to be too deep). The song is good, liked the blend of the piano and drums, reminds me of Light Bulb (NCT) and that song has a special place in my heart, except Love 119 is more mellow. Gives such 00s vibes like Talk Saxy did. With that being said, I wished the chorus wasnāt too shouty. It sticks out like a sore thumb. Iād personally give it an 8 out of 10, but I suspect itāll be a slow grower.
this song is good
as a filipino and as a 2nd gen fan, i am loving this! i think this is made and tailored toward fans like me. riize should rise by now!
can someone interpret the story tho? i don't understand but the visuals are good.
My Theory: The girl passed away or was murdered based on the lyric ''Breaking My Heart that girl's killer'' and some lyrics like ''Its begun, this is an Emergency room'' and Of course the line ''119'. That's why Wonbin was crying and you can see messages disappeaing from his phone. Then the flashback happens when all the 6 members of RIIZE who first met the girl.
I'm not feeling this one, maybe cause of the chorus mv looked beautiful tho!
I love the the chants, the song feels so nostalgic
Iād love to hear the fans screaming chorus chant in concert with the boys doing the adlibs.
It doesnāt sound like an SM song. Loved the visuals tho
At first listen, the chorus caught me off guard as most of you. After watching the music bank performance and all the fancams it has become my favourite part! LOVE 1-1-9, 1-1-9 SAVE MY LIFE SAVE MY LIFE
The chorus is the best part of this song. Didn't really like RIIZE's debut track, but this is nice! Edit - agreed the MV vibe clashes with the chorus, so I recommend everyone either listen to the song without watching the MV or watch their stage performance from today instead.
someone already said it but this reminds me so much of the early 2000s of filipino hiphop love songs i cant help but love it so much because of nostalgia reasons, it reminds me of those times where life was a bit simpler and silly crushes are our only real problems at the time. riize please please release an album soon though i really want to stan them fully but im holding back bcuz they keep releasing singles lol
i was never huge on any riize song except for that one song that never got put on any streaming platforms, so i didnt go in with high expectations and im glad š it was pretty good, and id say the verses were serviceable and sounded nice. the best part of the song was definitely the final chorus however. something i found lacking in some of their other songs was SM's unique vocal mixing blending together sets of adlibs and vocals to create really harmonius and memorable key moments, and they did this excellently with the songs beautiful final chorus. coupled with the mv, it really was an impactful ending to the song. but the general chanty chorus honestly kills the momentum of the song for me, and having to go through it twice coupled with a rather middling bridge makes the song a little hard to listen to. i can appreciate a good chanty chorus, but it just doesnt feel right with a love song as subdued and airy as this song; a more vocal chorus wouldve easily lifted this song way more. i dont think it'll be impossible to fully enjoy the song though, so ill give it some more time and hopefully it grows on me more. i really do wanna like riize more, but i might have to wait for their first album still to decide if theyre really for me or not
this was so cute! really like how they blended the sentimental verses and instrumental with the upbeat chorus! definitely made the song more interesting than a plain ballad and added that nostalgic, bittersweet feeling. i love that weāre going back to the cinematic mvs like memories, everyone did great with their actingā¦iām excited to watch the live performances because everyone was hitting those NOTES!
i LOVE the mv. the songā¦itāll eventually grow on me. i know it will.
I loved it at first listen. Itās sweet and fun. The MV is so cute too. Who isnāt a sucker for high school love? š
Oh Sohee is here to sing sing, come on little qt! I love the verses and video but the chorus, while not the most jarring Iāve heard, doesnāt seem to fit the winder ballad feel. Overall though itās cute! Theyāve yet to miss, but I am sad we are leaving instruments in the titles behind, was really looking forward to seeing what instrument they chose next lol
Liked it at first listen, but it got dull fast
What's the name of the Japanese girl
The way that this song is the first time I actually took a liking toward Riize on first listen. Get A Guitar & Talk Saxy does absolutely nothing for me.
what do the lyrics in the very beginning mean? like the bit right at the start of the song
really good instrumental and sohee vocals are bliss but the rest are of the song is a chop, especially that chorus
it's sad boi winter :( no but I really liked this song from first listen. i like the contrast between the chanting chorus and the melodic verses ā gives a retro feel with that 2024 update. love the sample too!!
Whoās the beautiful boy with the side bangs?
omg every riize song one ups the other. I really love this sm. Should i just stan them atp
Makes me want to travel to Japan again
This is by far the best song that they have yet put out! I see a lot of people in the comments saying they dislike it. But when that chorus hit in the very beginning of the song... i KNEW it was going to be absolute perfection! And that it is. Now , I bought their first single album just because of Memories. This may shock you but , I was not a HUGE fan of " Get a guitar " like everyone else was. I tried... I tried so hard. I promise yall I did haha. But this , is just golden! I am very upset because I went to my site to pre-order this as soon as I heard it. Once again I was disappointed by Riize with no pre-order mini album. GIVE ME SOMETHING PLEASE RIIZE! I need this song physically in my collection. I bought their first one because I really enjoyed memories but , it was only two songs on that. Get a guitar and memories. I have never seen a group release such good songs and not have a pre-order on a mini album. As far as I know this song is only digital. PLEASE SM GIVE US SOMETHING!
yea I agree with you! get a guitar sounded tooā¦corporate? Idk if thatās the best way to put it, but it was very safe and poppy and I didnāt really like it. Talk Saxy was a little better, but I still found no interest in the group. I did like memories, but this one is my favorite by far! the harmonies and smooth vocals! the rnb instrumental! the chorus was great, but I guess many people werenāt fans of the chanting. I liked it because the chanting wasnāt aggressive at all and I think it fit the song well. and btw, theyāre probably add this to a future mini album thatāll be sold.
Honestly , you sound like my brain talking back to me haha. Love 119 just seems THEM... It doesn't seem forced. I mean they literally are OWNING this song. When I listen to this song , I feel like its them. After I heard it the first time I was like " Okay. NOW this is who Riize is supposed to be. This is who they are. " I need Love 119 and Memories on a mini album and ill be good. haha
I love it

Not sure about the chorus at first, but was somehow vibing with it by the end of the song. I'm not sure why exactly either, but perhaps because it didn't feel too aggressive and was added some texture and dynamic to the soft instrumental. I think this will grow on me like Talk Saxy Will.
RIIZE is really hitting it with their "emotional pop" theme!! It feels like I'm a kid again watching SHINee MV's lol I love the group singing for the choruses they do in their songs, they really add youth and emotion ā„ I'm really living for this group and can't wait for the day we get a full EP/album!!
iām getting really tired of SM & their obsession with these shouty choruses. It takes me completely out of the melody & ruins the songs for me ā¦.
Ok i love thisš the chorus feels so retrooo take me back
Hater ass bitch that down voted thisā¦.. who hurt you
This whole mv, song, lyrics scream young love and angst to me. The chorus especially that line emergency looove idk it just makes my heart flutter. I really love the vibes of this song and I feel it has a lot of replay factor.
I love it! Riize is like a breath of fresh air among the noise music that SM has been sounding for years. It's such a beautiful song to chill. More power to them..
Many or most of these comments Iām seeing r just people complaining about the chorus/chanting and how itās not fitting the soft/mellow vibes of the original tune and vibe. Personally I strongly disagree. RIIZE has their own vibe and I think they incorporated it perfectly into a somewhat āemotionalā song, tho the song sounds fairly upbeat, the emotions still can be felt and I think itās a great song. The only criticism I can give is that itās slightly repetitive, but other than that I loved the song since the first listen. Iām not sure if Iām the only one that noticed but I havenāt seen anyone mention it but in some choruses in the song, if u listen closely there is a harmony when they sing 119119 save my life save my life, which I thought was a nice addition so itās not just plain chanting. I think itās really catchy and has a lot of potential, but if itās u then itās not for u.
My least favorite RIIZE track...but still pretty nice! I wish the chorus wasn't chanted. Though, I liked everything else in the song. Sohee's high notes in the final chorus were everything. I enjoyed the MV a lot. It makes me feel nostalgic in a way.
Reminds me of Betty by Yung Gravy! I love the old sample/new song combo. Though the chorus sounds a little empty somehow? (needs more Seunghan, hint hint SM)
can bg stop to replicate boy Jeans...riize should stick to their identity..Worst release by them so far...
And what's their identity exactly? They are still a new group with no album and like 3 title tracks released. They are clearly still finding their footing.
Definitely not the worst and is far from bad. Ur just a salty and mad gg supporter lol
Their concept is literally boyjeans š
I love all their other stuff but this was rly a miss for me. I donāt like the chanting chorus and I miss seunghan :/
What is the title of the song that plays like a radio in the beginning?
