mah ranking + rating for all songs on each album:
IT'z different:
1. dalla dalla (9.5/10) *memorable debut + concept, typical "kpop" but done right, i especially love the chorus
2. want it? (9/10) *hyping song, didn't like the excessive yelling in the middle but got over it, enjoy the song overall
IT'z ICY:
1. cherry (9/10) *powerful bside
2. ICY (9/10) *loved the visuals, chorus, mv, meaning, dance break, everything
3. it'z summer (8.7/10) *why the hate?!?!? such a fun song with even an even more choreo
IT'z ME:
1. nobody like you (9.7/10) *strong chorus + slight rock element, loved the vocals throughout, sooo cute (personally special song)
2. WANNABE (9.6/10) *iconic, especially love the chorus, got meh back into kpop, was once my fav title track from them, choreo is memorable but loco & not shy topped there tooo
3. ting ting ting (9/10) *energetic song, don't understand the hate
4. i don't wanna dance (8.5/10) *restless, love their hyping bsides altho they took some getting used to, makes u wanna dance
5. that's a nono (8.5/10) *same description as the song above
6. 24hrs (6/10) *itzy's other bsides or songs overall aren't meaningless yelling, this song is tho
7. you make me (4/10) *what the actual FVCK was this song, i have no words, chorus just weird to meh, makes meh speechless in a bad way, call the song "speechless" or smth, rest of the song is the same
not shy:
1. not shy (9.7/10) *fast paced just the way i like it, song is the full package: esp choreo, vocals too
2. surf (9.2/10) *i find it sAsSy, cute vocals- can totally imagine them, especially lia, lavishly singing this song
3. be in love (9.2/10) *the type of slow song i like, who trash talks their vocals?!??! love these even without the high notes
4. don't give a what (8.5/10) *their classical bside sound, another one of their assertive (idk) bsides- kinda like i don't wanna dance & that's a no no
5. louder (8/10) *yes
6. iD (7/10) *ok
guess who:
1. shoot! (9.5/10) *iconic editworthy song that makes the listener feel hot + charismatic until they look into the mirror for a reality check
2. kidding me (9.2/10) *not a huge fan of the chorus, love the buildup to the chorus and the entire song's flow
3. wild wild west (9.2/10) *love this one line very much, love the overall flow tooo, found song cringey at first but had eyes closed, belongs on "not shy" album in a good way
4. MITM (9/10) *who's trash talking this song?!?!, might be a bit boring to listen to but super fun mv to watch!!, love the mafia conceptttt, lia's bridge slayed the house down
5. sorry not sorry (8.7/10) *great bside for the concept + love the styling & performance as well
6. tennis (0.0) (6/10) *just not a fan of the vocal style in the chorus (thought they went from the wild west to the mafia, ig not here-), the rest of the song is alr, got used to dis song
