Musicians react & analyze ♡ SKZ - U Feat. TABLO

All We Want Is SKZ Dang, what a collaboration! Ever since “Megaverse,” this one has remained one of the most anticipated SKZ collaborations for us, and finally, it came to fruition with “U”! As expected, it was a mix of DnB with trap elements, and we absolutely loved how Tablo took multiple parts throughout the song, seamlessly blending his singing and rapping. “U” is definitely one of those catchy tracks that feels familiar if you’re a fan of both SKZ and Epik High. And let’s talk about how hard it is to make a song sound this good while keeping it simple—that’s the magic of Stray Kids. :) Oh, and does anyone know what happened to Seungmin’s “all I want is U” part? That was so lovely :’o. Anyway, what a great song! Our journey continues with this insane, no-skip “Hop” Album!

I was totally "oh can't wait for the new album, I'm gonna listen a lot all those solo songs.." and then I listened this song... It's forever on repeat 🥲 First time I heard about Tablo was on Megaverse 🫣 I started listening k-pop music because of SKZ a few years ago, because they have a really unique style and then Ateez, The Rose, Xtraordinary Heroes.. ( DPR Ian counts?) soooo... I'm kinda new to other artists... But I really loved this song, I'll check a few songs from Tablo/Epik High for sure, is there a few songs with this vibe? can you guys give me some direction? hahaha <3

the last “All I want is U” is still Seungmin’s, the video had it wrong as Han. They wouldn’t have included him recording it in intro if they ultimately decided to give it to another member. SKZMAS/SKZCEMBER is in full effect! i love all the content coming out guys!

I would like to thank our Handsome Sausages for your breakdowns, as you always point out fun and interesting things that I didn't pick up on my initial listen. Always a good time!

I like this collab so much! I'm glad there's a lyrics video because sometimes Tablo's voice blends in with the members' voices, and it's hard to tell which is which. By the way, I hope you don't skip over Walkin on Water (HIP version). It's great. I've watched a lot of other ppl reacting to the HOP album, and most of them are skipping over that version completely.

I love this track so much. Everyone’s tone is much softer than normal and yet it still feels powerful in the way they deliver the message of the song. Tablo was incredible as well and the way he blended in with the members yet stood out as a proper feature was perfect. I feel like 3racha really respected Tablo in this track and let him shine along side them much like they did with Tiger JK back in the 5 star album. Definitely one of my favorite songs 🥰

I think this is my favorite song out of the 3 new Skz tracks. It's so freaking catchy and mellow and you just want to vibe out with it. Perfect song for a Tablo feature! Will you guys react to Hip Ver WoW along with the remixes? I actually like it way more than the regular version.

Why did my phone only just alert me and you posted this an hour ago?! 😯 And then i didn't watch this for another 5 hours 🤦🏾‍♀️. But this song right here has been fighting for my number 1 spot. Like honestly i keep going back and forth with this and bounce back as my top song. Also when I was just listening to the audio this song fucked up my perception of who was singing. Like obviously I got seungmin first and I got Channie is second but when tablo came in it kind of messed with my ears and I was second guessing and I'm like or was that Felix doing his high voice like I got so confused. But tablo's voice give me Hyunjin vibes. LEE KNOWS FUCKING VOCALS!!! That is what had me hooked when I first heard it in the mashup. He sounds so amazing. Also, I love how much shine they gave Tableau in this song. Like it wasn't just a quick opener or quick verse or a quick ending with him. He got his verse and then he got a little bit of the what is that bridge break? I don't know what that's called. But he sounds amazing with the boys. And I would not expect this tone to come from the face that I saw in the mega verse video. Mainly because I don't know epik high and Tablo like that. But I was pleasantly surprised. I love how excited D'some got with tablo's U at the end. I feel like you're right. Seungmin really wasn't satisfied with his line and to compromise they had Han sing it. Hyunjin has been blowing my mind with his vocals and tone lately. This is definitely an earworm song. And that's why it's been fighting for my number one. And sometimes winning my number one. Honestly. On a day by day basis. My number one changes between those two songs. I unfortunately still have not checked out any epik high songs.

I've seen other say the say thing, but I swear on my life that last "all I want is U" is actually seungmin and not hannie 😂

승민이의 'All I want is you' 파트는 없어진 게 맞아요 다른 스테이분이 팬즈 커뮤니티에 질문했는데 승민이가 직접 말해주었어요 '녹음하고 파트가 여러번? 달라졌는데 그러다가 없어진것같애ㅋㅋㅋㅋ' 승민이는 장난스럽게 말했지만 사실 저는 살짝 아쉽긴 했어요 승민이가 다시 녹음하러 되돌아갈 정도로 노력한 파트였기 때문에... 그래도 본인들이 원만히 합의를 잘 보았겠거니 생각합니다 ㅎㅎ 이번 앨범 노래들 정말 좋아요!(사실 안 좋았던 적이 없긴 한데^^) 힙합을 좋아해서 그런지 만족도가 훨씬 높은 것 같아요~ U도 들을수록 감기는 노래 같아서 곧 제 벨소리가 될지도.. ㅋㅋㅋㅋ😆

Sandy Cai

Fave track in the album!!

Sam w

This is my favorite group songs of theirs. It's so perfect!

hi! i can recommend some songs as an epik high fan before getting into skz lol. not sure if the same vibe but Over by epik high really gives me an older trainee han melody rap vibe, also recommend End of the World (i dream of 3racha covering this song), True Crime and Munbaedong, or Lesson 5! just some of my favorites i can think of

orly

they added tablo in multiple times like he's another member lol

chi

Oh it was actually han😊. A stay asked seungmin on Fans and he said he recorded it, but the parts changed, so his take was not included.

Olivia

aww i didn’t know! i haven’t caught up on Fans lately. i just hope he didn’t beat himself up about it, knowing the vocal perfectionist he is

EL Knox

See this is why I don't have a fav track ... cause this one hits deep ... loe it so much ... it is like Bounce Back, Walk on Water and U are meant to be heard at different points in the day (like what Seungmin said)... all 3 so good!!!! and don't get me started on the solos ... god they know how to feed us :P

Coco Nies

I'm a big Epik High and Tablo fan so this collab makes me happy and I love how well Tablo's voice blends with Skz and Hyunjin and Lee Know's tones are beautiful in this

JT

Love this song more every listen

tova~

yeah, and when they recorded the song in the intro it was still planned to be included in the ATE album, and Tablo's feature was only decided after that. they mention Seungmin going in before Chan in the end and some other things that never ended up actually being included / happening in the final version of song after the decision to include Tablo, since his parts probably meant moving around (and removing) some others

Rebekah

It took me a while to get into U, but it’s really really grown on me — to the point where it’s been my most played during commutes etc I remember being so into Epik High in the 2000s, so this whole collab is such a good throwback 🥲 This whole album has been slowly getting better as it simmers and marinates, and actually for me personally a big part was actually listening at a lower volume than I would normally for skz songs — maybe around 20-30% softer

IrmaSKZ🥠

It's become my favorite song of theirs. It's magnificent!!!

Lari

Ahhhh thanks!!! 😍♥️ I’ll listen to all these ones!!!

Dianne

Don’t know if someone mentioned it already but Seungmin mentioned in bubble that the part we saw in the intro was cut out off the final track/song

Estelle S

I don't know if anyone mentioned it before but this song and "I Like It" were written at the same time or one soon after the other. So what if - as the theory I saw goes - What if the person from "I Like It" is now regretting and "U" is the sequel??
