"DDU-DU-DDU-DU" stands as one of their best songs ever. "Forever Young" is a decent sub-title. And the rest is freaking generic. (But I'll admit, there are times when I am in the mood for even those generic songs.)

"Du-Du-Du-Du" is fantastic and I am behind the hype of that track, however, the rest of the EP is rather stale and bland, there really is not much to note other then it sounds very dated (this would be mediocre if it came out in 2011, and that is being nice)

Albeit its commercial success is understandable, its artistic success is difficult for me to assimilate.rMany fans claim that Blackpink is the best band in women's history, and that its members are talented. Well, the second I do not doubt it, but the first for now is not very well understood, because Square Up is a mosaic of random ideas that would work in another situation and with many arrangements to unite the large number of elements that have been left empty.rThe EP is undoubtedly strange, having a main song more basic than the previous ones (being a kind of attempt of Boombayah, but even worst), and with some B-Side that leave much to be desired, because their commitment to experiment, or even for perfecting the formula is void. Everything is vague, everything is done with the objective of being easily digestible and so commercial that the only thing that matters is to sell, and not so much the quality of the project.rAnd do not confuse me, the commercial is not inherently bad (we have Michael Jackson and Pink Floyd as successes of undeniable quality), but when you want to cover so much and just look at sales, you create a flat product, with a lack of musical proposals and that only repeat four rhythms that have already been seen in the last two decades, and in this case even making them worse.rSquare Up is simply something that was done to win money using the fans' Hype, without looking much at quality, looking a lot at profitability.

yeah, it's just some corporate shit designed to reel in as many fans as possible, and these girls in real life are nothing like their faux-badass images in the videos...but it's hard to resist a lot of their songs
