After last summer's "Take Me Higher," I was expecting something similarly soft and colorful from A.C.E. for their latest single. In retrospect, I should have seen "Under Cover" coming. After all, this is a K-pop group that swung for the fences — in hot pants! — with their hardstyle debut song "Cactus." Somehow, "Under Cover" goes even harder; it pushes those boundaries even more. It's an in-your-face assortment of genres with hip-hop-driven verses, heavy electric guitars, and an electrifying chorus that completely knocks you out. The members are equally as confident in the music video, blurring antiquated gender lines in heavy makeup, crop tops, pigtails, and glitter brows. "Under Cover" is a perfect example of what can make K-pop so thrilling: It's a song that's completely unafraid to be a million things at once. And the same can even be said for A.C.E, a group that's gotten this far by being unabashedly themselves. — Crystal Bell

My BG SOTY, what a knockout :sj_weary:

At its best Kpop is always the best kind of genre mashup that doesn't take a half step and is unafraid to fully commit to everything- music, visuals, makeup/styling.

Under Cover is like the perfect song to show that, and it does so without feeling old/antiquated, it gives me classic Kpop feels while still feeling modern, yet avoids any trendhopping. Truly a miracle :sanapray:
