'XOXO' thoughts

I had little expectations from RedOne but this is a total anthem! Will update later with complete impressions. Discuss!

really good production !!! the introduction offers surprises, even if it is a little repetitive, I think this title will be a very big success for next Ayu concerts such as Boys & Girls !

hmmmm...the chorus is addictive!! And the song itself is really well layered and ayu's voice is really pleasant. I never thought something like this was going to make part of ayu's discography! A BIG yes!!

It's a bit repetitive and her voice sounds annying in some parts - but I really like it.
Good production, I guess.

The chorus is so fun! She hasn't really done anything like this before in my opinion so i really appreciate it for that. It's so refreshing to see her trying something new! I thought EDM would be a total misstep for Ayu, especially after hearing Feel The Love but she does her own thing with it. Overall a really great track!

"girls jus wanna have fun, have fun, das all we need now"

Catchy but a bit annoying. It's a fun song I guess.

I actually like the verses, the chorus is cringeworthy though

It needs a LOT more bass but hopefully that's just the rip? The verse is really weak but overall I like the song more than when Cyndi Lauper did it lol

"Gorls just wanna herp pon"... Well, it's an earworm for sure.

is great!...remind me a lot the electro pop of "Starship"or "Pound the alarm"by nicki minaj, and i love that songs.

in fact i was waiting something soft like "just the way your are" of Kumi koda, so the song surpriced me in the best way.

I like that calming, soft beat and the relaxed vibe/structure of the song in general ^-^

You western are too sensitive with the way asian peoples speak in english...

i can clearly hear "girls just wanna have fun", i didn't hear "Herp pon"..i believe Ayu try her best to deliver the words...

suprisingly i like the song...it's.....Fun...
