White (from Season Of Glass – 2015)
White opens with a super satisfying break beat — new jack swing adjacent without fully leaning into the genre. In this way, the song would be right at home in the 90’s – an era that has always fit GFriend very well. This overall vibe buoys an otherwise solid – but unremarkable – pop track. White succeeds on the draw of the group’s early work. It’s melodic and sharp. However, the song is definitely b-side (filler?) material, well-suited to padding out an album without drawing much attention to itself. Fortunately, I happen to have a strong bias toward the sound and this gives it an edge.

I think objectively there’s nothing knocking you over the head in this track, but it’s such a nice pill of joy and optimism. I love this song

I get this one mixed up with One all the time.
It’s nice but I frequently skip it.

though as you said pretty unremarkable, white has such a special place in my heart (and probably the girls’ too). the first ever song iggy youngbae made for them, something that captures their essence as a team, and it brought them to tears when they first heard it! joyful, simple, lovely, warm, it really does encapsulates them. that being said, i still skip it sometimes too lol
