lookitmychickenYiss there is now a reduced-Puth version and I reckon it's way better than the fully Puthed version.
New rap verse, gorgeous #Seungmin ad-libs, better vibe, no Puth vocals, it just feels more #skz
Huh I like the 'soft garage' version too. Alas it still contains Puth, but the vibe is (mostly) cooler & funkier
(None of the versions are anywhere close to being one of my fave #skz tracks. But the 2 new versions are both better than the 1st version, to me.)
s1m0n4@lookitmychicken music composer and co-lyricist is still Charlie Puth in every version. Does it really matter who sings it?
Personally I like this track. What matters to me is the music, not the person behind it. However I respect that people might have strong opinions against Charlie Puth, though I believe that the only way to express them is not listening to any versions of #LoseMyBreath #StrayKids
It's the only way if you don't want him to get revenues.
@s1m0n4 i don't much like Charlie Puth, but I'm not boycotting the song.
I just prefer the versions with less of him in it.
Pixelcats⁷@lookitmychicken @s1m0n4 There are boycotts!? The main release is too Puthy, but it's not bad. Is it a political protest?
I like this version way better too. The mix is way more SKZ, the vocal production is cooler. Seungmin killed those ad-libs .. swoon!
@pixelcats @s1m0n4
Hoo boy are there ever boycotts. It's a political protest because Puth's supposedly a Zionist.
From what I can tell, he's said some shitty things about women, & he is Jewish (I think?), & has at least one family member who's expressed support for Israel.
I don't much like him (because of the misogyny), but the anti-Puth sentiments seem to be mostly because of his Zionism, & I've seen no real evidence that it exists.
@lookitmychicken @s1m0n4 Oh dear. But phew, I'm out of the twitter dumpster fire loop this week! 
I mean, I'm not really surprised. Chuck is problematic, even if he is a pretty great songwriter.
@lookitmychicken @s1m0n4 Yeah the misogyny was fairly widely debated (with receipts) when the Left and Right collab happened with Jungkook .. just ewwww. But Twitter is quick to point the zionist finger at lots of artists right now, so I agree with your scepticism on that.

(I was only thinking about the performance, not the songwriting or producing, when I described the new version as Puthless. But yeah he's still there in the songwriting & producing. So I edited my original post to describe it as a reduced-Puth version instead.)
