The line between “idol” and “artist” can be pretty thin, especially when artists start enlisting idols to feature in their music videos. I’ve never written about a solo BiBi song before, but given her ascent to the top of the digital charts it’s probably time I started paying more attention.
New single Sugar Rush will be most notable to idol fans thanks to its video’s guest stars — (G)I-DLE’s Soyeon & Choi Yena. But even without that extra push, the song isn’t dissimilar from recent idol efforts. Its sparse hip-hop beat and attitude-forward delivery feels like the older, weirder sister of IVE’s Baddie. BiBi’s idiosyncratic tone gives the track immediate character, echoing the quirkiness of the instrumental.
It’s a catchy brew, though I’m not sure how the song’s repetition will age. It feels like Sugar Rush needs an extra musical idea — maybe a contrasting chorus or bridge. As it stands, once you’ve heard the first thirty seconds you’ve basically heard the entire track. But in today’s SNS-obsessed world, thirty seconds will probably be enough and BiBi’s charismatic vocal ensures you’ll never be bored.

welp, I am really disappointed. I didn’t think the intro of the song would be the actual chorus, so I was waiting for the buildup to lead to something else D:
Sugar Rush is not a song in my style, but WHY IS IT SO SHORT ðŸ˜. The music actually stops at 2:27, WHY??
By 2025 all the songs are going to be <2min ðŸ˜ðŸ˜

Bibi has been a guest on so many tracks, that having other guest on her tracks is almost expected in return. She is about as idol-adjacent as it gets. 
Song is a bit dull. It’s one good idea wrapped up in candy floss that one gentle blow will crush. 
My favorite Bibi ever is this old gem with Heechul of SuJu + Min Kyunghoon ft ATEEZ. Its like they rented the sageuk set for a day with the keys to the costume closet and had some fun with it all.

I’m not gonna lie I was feeling the second verse. This release reminds me of doja cat. Thankfully, as far as I know, bibbi isn’t nearly as problematic. Honestly, how cool would it have been if yena did a bright melodic bridge on this track? A missed opportunity

this is interesting in an uncomfortable way, but it’s disappointing compared to her previous song, vengeance.
7.25/10 for me

Try listenning to the other song Bam Yang Gang. Since it came out I cant stop playing it. It´s giving a vibe as if a reader teleported to the fantasy book that they were currently reading.

I liked the song second verse really shines with her signsture style and she has some fun lyrics/wordplay however it did feel like something was missing a alternative chorus i think would have set it off the chain
7.75 its a good time

Funny you compare this to IVE’s Baddie because apparently IVE’s Kitsch supposed to be her song.
