Okay, so Pa Pa Pa Palaban is the kind of song I’d usually roll my eyes at for being too full on, but honestly? I kind of loved it.
It’s loud, it’s proud, and it has this ridiculously addictive rhythm that had me pa pa pa bopping around the house before I even realised it. It’s one of those tracks that lodges itself in your brain and refuses to leave, but in the best way. Like, should I be annoyed? Maybe. Am I? Absolutely not.
Now, let’s talk about the girl power in this song, because wow. G22 came to fight. The title literally means “fighter”, and they don’t just say it, they completely embody it. It’s all attitude and confidence, and they make it very clear they’re not here to play nice. You can tell this is about taking control, not waiting around for someone else to hand it to you. Honestly, it’s empowering in that slightly over the top, yes, queen way that somehow still hits right.
Musically, it’s not trying to reinvent anything, and it doesn’t need to. The beat slaps — technical term — the energy is high, and every member sounds like they’re having the time of their life. Plus, there’s something really satisfying about the repetitive “pa pa pa” bit. I didn’t want to like it as much as I did, but I totally did.
Is it a bit dramatic? Yes. Is that part of the charm? Also yes. It’s like the musical equivalent of stomping in your boots and flipping your hair because you know you look good. And honestly, sometimes that’s exactly what you need.
If you’re looking for a hype track that’s big on confidence and even bigger on attitude, Pa Pa Pa Palaban has got you covered. Just don’t blame me when it gets stuck in your head for a week.
