‘Super Shy’, one of the pre-release songs and title songs of the syndrome girl group ‘NewJeans’ 2nd full-length album ‘Get Up’, again received favorable reviews from the leading American music critic magazine ‘Pitchfork’.

It ranked 13th on Pitchfork’s ‘100 Best Songs of the 2020s (so far)’ announced on its website on September 30 (local time). Pitchfork writers selected the best song of the 2020s to date, and ‘Super Shy’ was the only K-pop song selected.

Pitchfork said, “K-pop has always been a home for bold genre mixing, but New Jeans brought new inspiration to the existing system and made dance music three-dimensional in a quiet atmosphere. I heard that ‘Supershy’ is a masterpiece that takes away their power.”

“The drum & bass and Jersey Club production is floaty rather than pop, providing the foundation for the wistful chorus. “I encourage all members to sing as if they are sighing, as if they are daydreaming, and to enjoy the fantasy,” he added.

Pitchfork, a world-renowned authority known for its strict musical verification, gave ‘Get Up’ a rating of 7.6, the second highest score among all K-pop albums, when it was released in July of last year. They also ranked ‘Super Shy’ at 7th place in ‘The 100 Best Songs of 2023’, which they selected last year.

‘Super Shy’, which is centered around a Powerpuff Girls-themed riff and a bass drum like a hiccuping heartbeat, was written and composed by Erika DeCasière, a Portuguese-born, Denmark-based singer-songwriter. Pitchfork previously elaborated that De Cassière guides the group with soft and delicate drum and bass. In addition, the song, which contains a ‘message about calm strength’, was interpreted as containing a ‘meta-criticism’ of the way New Jeans approaches music.

In this list, 1st place is Lana Del Rey’s ‘A&W’ (2023), 2nd place is RXK Nephew’s ‘American Terrorist’ (2020), and 3rd place is Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us’ (2024). occupied.
