K-Pop A-Z Review: GFriend – GRWM

One song. Every day. Alphabetical order.

Keep up with GFriend’s A-Z reviews here!

GRWM (from Walpurgis Night – 2020)

What I said then: “GRWM isn’t quite as disco as the three tracks that precede it, but it offers a shot of adrenaline that fits GFriend well. It’s got that galloping electro beat I love so much, which acts as a springboard for a sprightly melody and galvanizing hook.” (read full review)

Updated thoughts: Yep, this is still very solid. The song does so much right, from its huge instrumental riffs to the acceleration during its chorus. GRWM unfolds like one gift after another, blitzing through its various segments without ever losing a step. It’s too bad this ended up being GFriend’s final album because GRWM points a way forward that’s new yet still draws upon the charms the group displayed during their debut era. After four years, I’m bumping this rating up a bit.

Grade: B+
