Just A Few Words:
This song is a great way to show off Stephanie's English fluency. I'm not a huge fan of her voice (she sounds like she's swallowing her voice - basically like Shakira), but it's obviously a good voice after some SM polishing. It was also nice to see her get some stage time after a back injury nearly ended her ballet and idol career and CSJH's indefinite hiatus.
English: 10 / 10
The English on this track was probably significantly helped by the fact both the main singer and the guest singer (Amber from f(x)) are both fluent English speakers. All the English makes sense and is pronounced correctly.
