Breaking things down with a simple pounding electro-pop rhythm laced with slaphappy synths, the track is a festive anthem for women. As a special 10th anniversary single, the nu-disco funk of the song is the perfect venue for the matured vocals of the eight current members of the group as they trill over the layered instrumentals, shifting the song gradually towards the final explosive chorus.Įnergetic and with an easy-to-clap along to rhythm, “Love & Girls” is one of Girls’ Generation’s most exuberant singles. Opening digitized phrase of “I like to party” aside, “All Night” is one of the strongest dance tracks the K-pop act has released in years.

While overall upbeat, the bridge featuring Seohyun, Hyoyeon and Sooyoung between the two final renditions of the chorus draws on Middle Eastern strings and percussion to tone things down a bit. Spunky and quite a bit sassier than many of Girls’ Generation’s previous tracks, the single uses fantastical metaphors to compare romance with heavenly bodies as the women sing over pulsating synths.Ī dance track with a ’60s throwback vibe, “Hoot” is a perfect example of the type of hook-oriented singles that focused on following the success of “Gee” with its addicting repetition of the terms “shoot” and “hoot.” The song is a mix of cute and sultry with the members overall delivering forceful verses, though a few women try out cloyingly sweet breathy tones. With a catchy, yet simplistic early ’00s electro-pop melody and the repetition of monosyllabic sounds, “Galaxy Supernova” is an overall fun listening experience that demands to be sung along to. Smooth vocals are supported by a gentle R&B rhythm and it’s an altogether pleasant love song that harmoniously plays up the group’s feminine side.

The heart-warming ballad that is “All My Love Is For You” is overflowing with serenity and positivity. The girl group hoped that the intensity of the thumping drumline, the chanting chorus and multiple tempo-shifts would help people feel the beat - and spell success in international music markets, so the single was released in both Korean and English. The drama of “The Boys” signaled a shift in musicality for the members as it was the first attempt to incorporate a heavier electro hip hop sound into a single.

Poignant and emotive, much of the song focuses on the member’s harmonious vocals as they croon about always being one on this 2014 track. While it’s a good throwback track with classic pop sounds, this single feels like it’d be a better fit for soulful subunit TTS more so than the main group itself, especially since TTS’ Tiffany and Taeyeon are responsible for the majority of the verses.Īnother melancholic Japanese ballad from group, their last song as a nine-member act “Divine” was led by a soft snapping melody and muted instrumentals.

The Girls’ Generation version is a bit less sultry than the original to match the group’s flirty and playful style, but it works with the nine women crooning over the funky melody.Ī groovy pop song with a swaying melody and some funk elements, “My Oh My” is an easy-to-listen to tune. A cover of Duffy’s “ Mercy,” “Dancing Queen” is a soul pop song with a retro-vibe that the group recorded in 2008 but didn’t release until 2012.
