The lyrics in the chorus tell us that everything she does is for her crush as well. Yet when this scene is being shown, we hear the following lines:īefore this, the viewer knows that Somi is only acting a certain way to gain the interest of her crush, much like everyone else when they were in high school. Another time we see her trying to flirt with said love interest is towards the end of the song, where she purposely bumps into him so that she would drop her books, and they would pick them up together in typical teen rom-com fashion. This gives us the impression that Somi is playing an awkward teenage girl, trying to learn how to flirt or find an opportunity to talk to her love interest, but is ultimately unable to do so. When we see her make a bold move on him in the cafeteria, we find out that it was only her daydreaming about what she wants to do. During the verses, we see that Somi is trying to act in a way that would capture the attention of her love interest, but fails to do so because she is shy. It opens with Somi as a child, who then transitions into Somi herself, who is now in high school. Elements of the chorus are reminiscent of Sunmi’s “ Gashina” and Jennie’s “Solo”, which do not come as a surprise when you realise that “Dumb Dumb” was produced by Teddy Park, who also produced the aforementioned songs. The chorus is great, as said before, but it’s not exactly special either. While they sound bright and cheery, they fall flat as they fail to showcase Somi’s vocal talents, and it never really picks up.

The song’s verses and choruses have different personalities, but these verses are not memorable. Although the climatic outro ends the song on a high, it’s pretty short lived, and the listener finds themselves wanting more, simply because it feels as if the song is not done. However, as mentioned earlier, everything is pretty half-baked. The end of the song is the climax, where it switches into an anthem and really picks up the pace, ending the song on a high. Even the lyrics are harsh, with Somi revealing that it was all part of her plan to act differently to lure her love interest in, and that he’s a “Dumb Dumb” for falling for it. The dance scenes that pair with the chorus are also stunning – she’s sexy, seductive, and checks off every box that screams girl boss.

Somi’s vocals become more monotonous, but such a stylistic choice only adds to the sleek and mature vibe in the chorus. “Dumb Dumb” has a great chorus – it’s groovy, alluring, and catchy.
