Just a Few Words:
As weird as "Growl" is in the song, it actually makes sense. He's growling at the competition and telling them to back off.
EXO is taking Korea by storm with this song! It's definitely a song that makes you want to get up and dance!!
English: 10 / 10
There are only two ad-libs on English, "I'm so serious" and "so dangerous" and they are pronounced just fine (from what I can tell under the audio distortion).

This was a bit hard. I had to have help from by 언니들 for some of the grammar! I guess ㄹ세라 is pretty obscure and rarely used! ^^
