Super Shy

Written by Gigi, Kim Dong-hyun, Erika de Casier, Kristine Bogan, Frankie Scoca, and NewJeans member Danielle, it is about a shy person who expresses their feelings to a crush.

The choreography, by Black.Q and Eunju Kim, showcases the members performing waacking and easy to follow moves, with NewJeans dressed in youthful outfits.

[6][7] In an interview with Rolling Stone, member Hanni described the upcoming tracks as "fresh", saying that the EP "definitely has a lot more variety to offer, in not just genre of music and dance style, but what we are striving to express and show to you".

[11][10] The Guardian's Ben Beaumont-Thomas said that the production "sits somewhere between liquid drum'n'bass, UK garage and Jersey club",[12] and Pitchfork's Olivia Horn wrote that the drums evoked "a hiccuping heartbeat".

Noting how the vocals blend with the overall sound, supporting enigmatic lyrics, he mentioned that the track's lack of a strong melody may not immediately captivate listeners.

[50][51] In the United States, it debuted at number 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the chart issue dated July 22, 2023, with 9.2 million official US streams and 2,000 downloads sold, becoming their highest-charting song in the country.

[49][54] Produced by Min Hee-jin, the music video for "Super Shy" was released on Hybe's YouTube channel in conjunction with the song.

[59][60] Later on, they notice that an exercise group is dancing to "Attention" and soon join them to perform "Super Shy", prompting flash mobs in squares, parks, streets, and markets among others.

[17][10] In the video, NewJeans are dressed in a youthful style, donning hairstyles like bleached blonde hair and bangs, and wear cheerleading uniforms and tennis skirts.

[65] Jaeden Pinder of Pitchfork named it the best music video choreography of the year, stating that it distinguishes itself amid the high-energy K-pop scene with its bashfulness and impressive synchronization.

[63] Vogue Singapore's Azrin Tan highlighted the video's imagery, which features NewJeans's signature aesthetic, blending Y2K nostalgia with modern trends.

[66] Similarly, W Magazine's Noh Gyeong-eon highlighted how NewJeans wore costumes featuring illustrations by Migo, emphasizing their girlish charm and creating a cohesive cheerleader aesthetic with a sporty and individualistic twist.
