Jawaban:

1, 2, 3 was co-written by Teddy, whose recent work has often favored instrumental drops over fleshed-out choruses. It’s hard not to imagine how jaw-dropping the song could have been if given a full chorus, but the drop here isn’t bad. It feels a bit muted in comparison to the energetic verses, but its chanted hooks give it more life than most songs of this structure. Each element fuses together to create one of the year’s catchiest tracks, though I wonder how well its repetitive quality will age in the long term. But for now, the song is utterly charming and a breath of fresh air amidst all of modern K-pop’s chill, tropical and EDM trends.
