Glow (from Time For Us – 2019)
GFriend never explored roller rink disco pop as often as they probably should have, but each and every effort is a standout. Their vocals lend themselves very well to this style, backed by shimmering synths and upbeat rhythms. Glow seems factory-made for summer, evoking carefree afternoons in the way Sistar’s music often did. The chorus here could be a bit stronger, but the warm production wraps it in enough aural sugar to keep the excitement high.

The Bias List // K-Pop Reviews & Discussion 
Ew… this song doesn’t do it for me. It’s probably the song on this album that I like least. It’s very repetitive.
Anyway, I had to reintegrate my YouTube Music playlist of the best of each year with some GFRIEND singles from mid-2015 to… I think 2017, because they reposted their songs, removing the SOURCE MUSIC label and placing the HYBE. The only ones that didn’t suffer from this were their 2020 albums.

I like this one a lot. The little synths going back and forth are fun, and I have to admit I’m a sucker for the processing they do on Sowon’s voice in the verses.
Is it their best work? No. Is “My sweety boo” a bad lyric? Yeah. If I saw them perform it live as a cooldown song between more popular songs, would I be psyched? Absolutely.

I don’t review every follow-up song if I’m too busy at the time or if I don’t have much to say about it. With this one, it was a combination of those two things.
