Yet, when the clips started to get posted by big accounts, Giselle was subject to a lot of criticism for the snippets, with some sharing their dislike for the sound and others adding that this was an example of why some idols didn’t get creative freedom over what they release.

Some even pointed out that as the song started playing, the number of viewers on the live decreased, with many thinking it was due to the quality of the track.
