- "Streaming is important, but I genuinely love coming back and watching this MV, as well as ATEEZ's other MVs."
- "This group has been my comfort throughout the pandemic, and now it's made its way into my heart forever"
- "I miss K-pop music videos that are just weird and quirky. This definitely fills that void I've missed."
- "This song is so catchy. They've just been getting better and better with every comeback."
- "I've been an ATINY since pre-debut, so it's heartwarming to see them years later still going and gaining more fans."
- "ATEEZ thank you for representing our Mexican and Latino culture with so much respect."
- "LA is so heavily influenced by our cultures and you represented that so incredibly well with the mariachi, flamenco, Tabasco, the lowrider bikes and cars."
OKAY i’m vibing, i’m moving💃🏻 On ATEEZ you can count to always deliver. The MV is fresh and interesting and fun (it’s like a mix of their prev MVs in the best way). The same goes for the song - it’s fun! It’s vibe! https://t.co/uj8T3BWZnJ
