What it concludes

• Die With A Smile features an unusual 6/8 time signature for a top chart song.
• The arrangement of Your Idol features extremely low bass notes and heavy compression.
• Gabriela by Katseye has an extremely dense mix with low bass made for subwoofers.
• Tit For Tat by Tate McRae and Ryan Tedder lacks the emotional depth and diverse production of some of their previous collaborations.
• Don't Say You Love Me by Jin is very well recorded, produced, and sung, featuring hundreds of vocal and keyboard tracks.
• Soda Pop by the Kpop Demon Hunters cast features a unique rhythm and melody with surprising production elements resembling Barenaked Ladies' One Week rhythmically in parts of its structure, though it can feel fatiguing to the ear due to density.
