Music Monday | Epik High — Catch (Feat. Hwa Sa)

Music Monday | Epik High — Catch (Feat. Hwa Sa)

Hello friendssss~ It’s Monday, so you y’all know what that means~ It’s time for another Music Monday post~ We’re gonna make this one truly short and simple though~ Cuz your girl is leaving on a trip for a week and a half~ Today’s featured track is Epik High’s “Catch (Feat. Hwa Sa)”. It features Hwa Sa of MAMAMOO, and is one of the tracks of their latest EP release Strawberry.

Usually, I do a little background info on the artists, but I’ve done [so many posts on Epik High] now. Y’all know I love, love, looooove Epik High. So you can find more info about them from my [previous posts]. I’ve also covered MAMAMOO and Hwa Sa before too. So I’ll just direct you to a [previous post]~

Artist: Epik High (에픽하이)
Track: Catch (Feat. Hwa Sa)
EP: Strawberry
Genre: K-Hip Hop, K-Pop, K-R&B
Language: Korean
Origin: South Korea
Release: February 1, 2023

Anyway, today’s track is “Catch (Feat. Hwa Sa)”. The track was released on Epik High’s Strawberry EP which just dropped last month on February 1st. It’s a short EP with just 6 tracks. The EP also has 2 features: Hwa Sa (MAMAMOO) and Jackson Wang (GOT7). It’s not my fave Epik High release, but I still really enjoyed the tracks. “Strawberry” itself was a chill beat/instrumental type of track. “On My Way (Feat. Jackson Wang)” was cool. “God’s Latte” was my kinda vibe too. But “Catch (Feat. Hwa Sa)” was definitely my favorite. It had a bit of a fun, funky, yet fresh vibe to it. It’s fun but also still has kind of an easygoing vibe. And then we got Hwa Sa’s beautiful vocals~ The track itself is a chill IDGAF track that’s definitely pointed towards haters. People are gonna hate you, there’s nothing you can really do about it. But meh, don’t bother with the haters and just keep doing you. Cuz they’ll never catch up to you. It’s that kind of message~ Funny enough, this EP was the result of the chaos that was KAMP LA 2022. So if you hadn’t heard, about 5-6 months ago there was “the largest and a first of it’s kind” Kpop music festival that was called KAMP LA 2022. Some of the lineups included: Taeyeon, Epik High, Super Junior, Kai, Bambam (GOT7), Chung Ha, Monsta X, Zion.T, aespa, Momoland, etc. It seemed cool. However, there were a lot of issues. Apparently, it was incredibly overpriced, and people felt like the quality was very underwhelming. The VIP packages were apparently hellaaaa expensive, and it turns out the meet and greet experience was not like an actual meet and greet. I guess tickets were not selling out as they hoped. Because they ended up giving tickets for free. The same tickets people had dropped a lot of money for. Apparently, they also had a mishap in trying to secure US work visas for the artists. So a lot of the headliners, like Taeyeon, ended up not being able to come and perform. This was a day before KAMP LA too… Overall, it was super messy and super unorganized. It basically became known as “The Fyre Festival of Kpop”. Literally, Tablo called it that too. Epik High was able to perform. However, you can tell they were also not feeling good about KAMP LA 2022. Like Tablo was up on stage [throwing shade] during their set lolol However, the stress and dissatisfaction from KAMP LA led Epik High to work on new music. And that new music is what we got on Strawberry.

[Intro: Hwa Sa]
Even if you stab me, it’s just a waste of time

[Verse 1: Tablo]
I can’t never lose
Whatcha haters gonna do? (What you gon’ do?)
Doo-bee, doo-bee, doo (Ooh-ooh)
I don’t make the rules (You’ll never catch me)
Putting on a noose (Amen)
God is real, I’m the living proof
Wishing that we fail?
Success made by my own hands
Epik High (To make your core sound)
It’s all time high, baby, I’ve been on one
My whole life, pupils that are in full bloom
I did it even if it wasn’t easy
I’m not just self-made, I’m handmade
Success made by me
Pointing out my personality that no onе has seen before
My MBTI is IDGAF
You stopped mе when I ran
So thank you very much
And I hate you


[Chorus: Hwa Sa]
I cannot complain though ’cause they know
Even if you stab me right now, it’s just a waste of time
‘K, thanks though, ooh-ooh-ah
Bye-bye, how are you painting
Bye-bye, you don’t have to go far


[Post-Chorus: Hwa Sa]
Even if I go slowly, even if I run out of breath
Even if I fall for a while
You’ll never catch me
Don’t worry about me, even in the dark
I’ll shine like a diamond
You’ll never catch me


[Verse 2: Mithra Jin]
Yeah
Even if I try to cover my eyes
I have a higher chance of success than you who argue
Even if I try to cover my eyes, I only cover the way ahead of you
Stepping on our footprints and chasing after them
When walking downhill, slide above the clouds
On top of enmity, envy, and jealousy, a deep stroke
Even when you stumble and fall to the floor, dance in despair
Boom, boom, pow!
See me 20 years away from the stage
Lighter than ever, no burden on your shoulders
Music is not my job anymore, it’s my hobby
I forgot the hardships of life
A sense of reality breaks down in happiness
Even if the indifferent years cover up memories
We are still all time high


[Chorus: Hwa Sa]
I cannot complain though ’cause they know
Even if you stab me right now, it’s just a waste of time
‘K, thanks though, ooh-ooh-ah
Bye-bye, how are you painting
Bye-bye, you don’t have to go far


[Post-Chorus: Hwa Sa]
Even if I go slowly, even if I run out of breath
Even if I fall for a while
You’ll never catch me
Don’t worry about me, even in the dark
I’ll shine like a diamond
You’ll never catch me


[Bridge: Tablo, Hwa SaTablo & Hwa Sa]
Call me when you’re feeling down
Before you hit the ground
I’ll be there to catch you
Call me when you’re feeling down (Feeling down)
Before you hit the ground (Mhm)
I’ll be there to catch you
Call me when you’re feeling down
Before you hit the ground
I’ll be there to catch you
Baby, when you’re feeling down (Yeah, yeah)
I’ll always be around (Hey)
To catch you when you fall


[Chorus: Hwa Sa]
I cannot complain though ’cause they know
Even if you stab me right now, it’s just a waste of time
‘K, thanks though, ooh-ooh-ah
Bye-bye, how are you painting
Bye-bye, you don’t have to go far


[Post-Chorus: Hwa Sa]
Even if I go slowly, even if I run out of breath
Even if I fall for a while
You’ll never catch me
Don’t worry about me, even in the dark
I’ll shine like a diamond
You’ll never catch me
