9:22 LIAM noticed this at his first listen was just crazy, man literally digging into the percussion. GREAT JOB!

[sitinordiananofan]

The Genie reference! I didn't catch that initially, but after the comparison, it actually sounded similar. Thank you for the reaction! Eleven is my ultimate jam till today!

[taengoonim]

IVE has already established their sound, idk what kind of crack the producers put in but their songs are addictive tbh

[arkichasiluv]

PLEASE PLEASE do check out “Love Dive” too, it’s their first comeback after their debut song which is Eleven that you guys reacted to! It’s also very amazing and very addictive, similar to Eleven which is super good! It’s been on my playlist for a very long time now. Nice reaction by the way, very informative as always! 🥰❤️

[soyeonsbag]

It was SO catchy the minute I heard it, I didn't love it right away, but it grew on me so fast!!! Im so glad you guys reacted to it!!!

[cheeyeung]

Additive song, caught my attention immediately when I heard it on a playlist. "Woah, what is this song?"

[jeo]

The slowed down prechorus and the 1234567 hook makes the song SUPER CATCHY, those are such simple things but makes the song stand out from their hyper produced sound peers.

[nogamenolife]

What I like about them is that, they have a rapper, but they don't force to add rap verse just because. That's why they produce songs that everyone would be comfortable listening and vibing into. Just like how SNSD doesn't really have rap parts, but they have a LOT of excellent songs. Nothing is forced.

[HeyyyyyItsJ]

Oh wow that Genie reference. I never noticed it and this is what I like about the channel. I’m so musically not inclined but then I listen to them and learn a whole lot of stuff and it’s so cool. It’s so fascinating how quickly they catch onto stuff too. I’m glad that there’s so many elements in kpop songs for them to explore and explain about.

A co-composer explained "Eleven" was taken from "eleven out of ten".

There is a popular theory that lyrics of Eleven and Love Dive are connected.

In Eleven
"Something transparent between me and you, look into it, into the waves, I'm falling in love even more"
"You, the one in front of me, the reflection of me in those eyes, I fell in love"


Narcissus was the man who loved his own reflection on the water surface. If you interpret "something transparent" in Eleven as water surface, it is a Narcissistic song just like Love Dive.

And, on the album cover the song title is spelt entirely in upper case with L, O, V, E and D in black while I, V, E in white. You may reorganize the letter as "Loved IVE".

[Rothko]

I replayed raffi and Sam guessing “there is a best ___” so many times… the guessing and editing is pure comedy

[chocodino]

this is one of my favorite reactions by far. there were a lot of key highlights from them. i love the hook of "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7. you make me feel like 11" is so addicting. the ritardando in the prechorus almost feels trance like as it goes into the chorus

jason, i, too, would like to know how yujin moves her hips so fast.

[CryptP]

I love the rit on the prechorus line personally because it allows the chorus to infuse this like new energy and feel more up-tempo despite the tempo in the verse and chorus actually the same
Like it's kind of illusory in a way? Makes the chorus feel a bit faster when really we're just the same speed as before

[ViewportPlaythrough]

1st thought was, theyre doing this just now????
if talking purely about the song(exclusive whoever artist performs it), eleven is one of my favorite track from the newer released songs. i love how its produced, executed and felt smart to me.
ive is really lucky to get such a powerful song, specially as their debut.

[twicepilled]

no cuz the instrumental is pretty bare but when you add in the vocals it sounds so much fuller😭😭

[amaja]

it's just such a good pop song!! completely agree that the contour is great, it feels so fun to sing

[julesishere]

THIS SONG IS JUST GOOD. I loved to see all their reactions at the same time to the "ritardando" jejejeje

[whitegreen]

IVE is the fastest girl group ever to win in a music show; only 7 days after their debut. They also got the most wins for a girl group debut song; a total of 13 wins. 🔥

[velvety]

Oh my god I've been so excited for this reaction!! As always, the insight from the musicians is top-notch and informative, and the song kicks ass 🔥

[tsukidaisuki]

Finally IVE reaction! Do 'Love Dive' reaction too! Excited for that one🤩
