Charlie Harding and Nate Sloan

If you go to the post-chorus after probably the biggest chorus...

Now, Nate, you sometimes work as a forensic musicologist on copyright issues.

I think we can agree these are both really small moments of melody that are not exactly the same.

But instantaneously, that's what I was hearing when I heard Body to Body.

And in a way, I think brings up that question that you raised at the very beginning of the episode, which is,

How much are they appealing to Korean roots versus a larger global body?

And I think that this song is working somewhere in the middle of that.

The idea of even the image of body to body is such a compelling image.

It is both like a romantic song being on someone else's body.

It's also the band being close together, their bodies together in a group once again.

And it's the bodies of all the people in all the arenas all over the world at their global tour, experiencing that body to body being together.

I think we hear that musically as well.

The very traditional Korean references and these melodies that might feel a little bit more Americanized.

Yeah, these are definitely the benchmarks that fans will use to measure the perceived authenticity of the album.

How many non-Korean producers are on here?

We've also got Diplo joining the ranks for Body to Body.

And P-Dawg, the group's longtime producer.

So there's a mix, just like there's a mix of English and Korean language lyrics here.

But yeah, these are the things that have to come into consideration.

It continues.
