The title track &#8220;Look&#8221; is one of their most successful singles since their debut.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s take a moment and break it down track by track<\/p>\n<p><strong>One and Only You ft. Hyolyn:\u00a0<\/strong>I thought this was a really good track to start the album off with. It showcases the funky feel that is utilized further throughout the album. It also has a little bit of an old school R&amp;B feel, which is really fun. I liked how the song felt very much like a duet between a man and a woman versus a feature. It was a new and refreshing approach.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Look:\u00a0<\/strong>This track again takes on the funky feel that was in the first track, but with a little more of a fresh style. Overall I felt like the song was fairly standard generic kpop title track. I did watch the music video previously, and nothing really stood out to me from watching it. I do think that the slowing down of the bridge has a really cool effect.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"GOT7 &quot;Look&quot; M\/V\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/sS0LCjOiIhc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>The Reason:\u00a0<\/strong>This was a really peculiar song. When it first starts you think that it is going to be a ballad, but then picks up and changes. Then suddenly there is a rap breakdown. It&#8217;s cool that they tried to do something a little innovative and different, but I was not really feeling it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Hesitating:\u00a0<\/strong>This song was one of my favorite on the album. I thought the funky bass backing track was really cute. I also really liked the usage of silence in the second verse. Overall it was a really cute funky song.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Us:\u00a0<\/strong>Again this song features a funky feel to it. I really like how they are very obviously influenced by funky throughout the album, but all of the tracks sound very distinct. I love Jackson&#8217;s voice in this song particularly.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thank you:\u00a0<\/strong>I love when artists make the choice to end their album on a ballad. I think it is such a bold choice and love when it is done well, as it is here. This song was definitely my favorite on the album and the whispered &#8216;Thank you&#8217; at the end of the track was so cute and put the perfect ending to the album.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Overall Rating: B+<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Eyes On You\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2k15VazqnRuva8vbh1iZWA?si=7F4cegy0Tb6GcODoQECMPg&#038;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GOT7 is a 7 member boy group under JYP Entertainment that debuted in 2014.\u00a0Eyes on You\u00a0is their 8th mini album, and just like their previous albums they had a part in writing and producing.
