Going Dumb (feat. Stray Kids & CORSAK)
Alesso
The Dizzying Effects of Love in 'Going Dumb'
Alesso's track 'Going Dumb,' featuring Stray Kids and CORSAK, is a pulsating anthem that delves into the overwhelming and often confusing emotions that come with falling in love. The song's repetitive and catchy chorus, 'You got me going dumb,' encapsulates the feeling of being so enamored with someone that it leaves you in a state of emotional and mental disarray. The lyrics, a mix of English and Korean, add a unique cultural layer to the song, making it resonate with a broader audience.
The phrase 'Feels like love, 한번 더' (which translates to 'Feels like love, one more time') suggests a recurring cycle of emotions that the speaker experiences every time they see their love interest. This cyclical nature of their feelings is further emphasized by the line '다시 또 start the car' (which means 'start the car again'), indicating a sense of restarting or revisiting these intense emotions repeatedly. The song captures the highs and lows of love, describing it as a 'highlight' but also acknowledging the confusion and mental overload it brings.
The collaboration with Stray Kids and CORSAK adds depth to the song, blending different musical styles and cultural influences. Stray Kids' energetic and youthful vibe complements Alesso's electronic beats, creating a dynamic and engaging track. The song's structure, with its repetitive and hypnotic chorus, mirrors the obsessive and all-consuming nature of love, making it a relatable anthem for anyone who has ever felt 'dumb' in love. The use of both English and Korean lyrics also highlights the universal nature of these emotions, transcending language barriers and connecting with listeners on a global scale.
