A few weeks ago, TWS collaborated with American rapper 24kgoldn for the first release in the “essential; studio” series of promotional tracks. As TWS songs always do, the hooks grew on me the more I listened to it. Next up is agency seniors Seventeen — or more accurately, DK and Seungkwan, who debuted as a sub-unit earlier in 2026. Funny enough, this random promo track works much better for me than their actual debut did.
Much of this is due to tempo and energy. Feel Me has a spring in its step, bounding along a catchy electro loop that keeps momentum going. The instrumental continues to build into the chorus as a series of melodies gradually change the rhythm. Feel Me has the patina of a fan song, which is a somewhat nebulous description I wouldn’t have understood before becoming a K-pop fan. This approach gives the song a weightlessness that feels very inessential (which is ironic given its “essential” promotional branding), but as a nice little one-off this is a quite welcome addition to their discography.

Nick, have you heard Prelude of Love from their album? I agree that Blue was very much a ballad, which was expected from them (I really like it anyway because I’m also very biased, but it’s also a very specific kind of genre that I know isn’t really to your taste), but I was pleasantly surprised by how much I really enjoyed this b-side in particular. I very much enjoy the fact that tihs new release is in a similar, more upbeat and groovy vein!

Everything about this song is like cotton candy. Pure sugary fluff carefully crafted to leave a yummy but fleeting impression.
Props to the guys to sing almost the whole song in the upper part of a tenor head voice range. It feels like they are in the chorus most of the time as their voices match so well. We just float along on a similar light descending line from C5 to F4 for so many lines that it all blends into a light waft of pastel tones. It would have been nice to switch up the timbre of the vocal more often – for example DK fleetingly at 1:32 puts more breath into it, the song needs more lines like that.
