"wanna wanna wanna"
Am I a JYP shill? Not intentionally, when I got into Twice, they were an established group, turning 5 in a few months. I watched the nizi project during quarantine and no, I didn't fall in love with them, but the similarities with Twice were so apparent. Their first mini album reminded me a lot of Twice's first mini album, where they were still trying to figure out who does what best. I've liked most of their singles and the b-sides have been alright, but nothing hit quite as hard as this song, "Take a Picture."
From the beginning, it's catchy as fuck and doesn't stop being in your face. I love the list reciting of 5, it's not original, but it gives the ears something to look forward. I loved hearing Miihi's parts and Nina's high notes are amazing. I sorta hate that it slowed down during the bridge, I usually enjoy their rap-line, but because this song is so sugary, it makes me wonder if the rap was necessary. Nevertheless, this song is the first NiziU song where it felt like they weren't Twice 2.0, but they got the confidence to stand on their own, holding that cutey concept torch.
Rating: 9/10
