Maybe it’s just me, but tripleS’s 2026 release slate has felt like a series of stealth attacks. They’ve been releasing several songs in the Japanese market recently and I’m always surprised when a new one pops up. Now, we have new Korean track Andless, which also seemed to arrive with very little teasing. Again, maybe it’s just me. There’s so much to keep up with in K-pop, after all.

This group’s fixation with “la la la” hooks has become its own joke, but they’re starting to branch out this year. June’s pop/rock anthem Baby Flower was a refreshing change and the electro pulse of Andless reinvents them yet again. This song is well within current trends, but I’m pleased that it’s at least a little more melodically driven than most of its peers. Andless pairs its distorted synth with a sprightly drum-and-bass influenced beat. In this way, the instrumental reminds me a bit of KickFlip’s recent Kick Off The Wall.

Andless‘s stuttering chorus rides the groove well, even if I long for a secondary post-chorus that could offer needed contrast and variety. A second verse slowdown is a major buzzkill and sticks around way too long for its own good, but when the song kicks forward we’re in pretty satisfying territory. It’s got the high-octane drive of a Hollywood car chase, which will always be an asset in my mind. A more dynamic sense of progression toward a striking climax would have raised Andless‘s grade by a few notches.

Grade: B-
