Yet, when the video was shared, netizens seemed to share their negative opinions about the track, hitting back at YG Entertainment for giving BABYMONSTER this kind of song when they deserved better.

However, netizens hit back at the haters saying fans always complain that they want something fun and different but complain when groups release tracks like it, with them sharing how much they liked the “summer” track.
