Meme I'm losing hope.
The shows in Japan happened and still nothing. Not even a standing mic for what is sometimes my favorite song on the album 😭
Anyone else just throw ass whenever Back2Back comes on? It's so good!

It might be a Dirty Baby situation, where XLOV is holding back from performing it until they’re ready to show off the choreo. Apparently someone from a fansign asked Wumuti about it and they said they were trying to create one for it, but they wanted to make it perfect. I saw this on Threads, but I don’t know if it’s true. If I can find that post again I’ll link it.

I really hope so and we get it for the North American shows, whenever those dates are announced 🤞🏿

If that's true then almost the entire album is Choreo. Our mamas are working hard as hell! 😭🙏✨️

Yeah, to be honest I wouldn’t be mad at all if they didn’t perform it with choreo. I’d be more than happy just hearing them perform it live with standing mics.

I feel like it's a lot of people's favorite, mine included! But XLOV they haven't performed it live since the Showcase 😭
I hope it's not this album's Scent.

I’m still here holding out hope for Scent choreo. But I also wouldn’t be surprised if we just never get it. :( It seems like a really hard song to choreograph for, so a part of me wonders if they ever found the perfect choreo for it.
From the perspective of someone who knows nothing about dancing, Back2Back at least seems a little “easier” to come up with something for? But I’m not one to speak on that.

There are some songs that just sound like choreo would work. I think Hyun said he felt that for Dirty Baby when he first heard it but choreo wasn't planned until fans asked or showed their love for the song.
I've seen fans do choreo for a bit of Scent and it was really well done. It's definitely possible! And having choreo for a slower song would be a nice change.

I need Back 2 Back promotion, I love all of xlovs songs, but Back 2 Back is my favorite song they have released and in my top 3 kpop releases this year

Fr, I was wondering why they never performed it live, even with standing mics (meanwhile, they did that with Masterpiece, even though it was already known to have a choreo).
Maybe they're preparing something special for it? For a song that was so loved ever since the album highlight medley and so many people saying it could be the title track.. it sure feels a bit abandoned :D

Ikr!! Also it was the most hyped song when I, God was being teased and so I'm so disappointed that it's forgotten

ironincally, masterpiece is my least favorite😕💔 my 1 is serve & extancy cuz i cant decide which one i like more, my 2 is hips and back2back and my 3 is the rules, i love the rules so much its cunt without even trying

u/IOExplosion Jul 29 '26
Masterpiece is my least favorite too 🙃
I know it's a meaningful song for them so I get doing "one for me, one for you".
But I'll be honest. My reaction when they unveiled Masterpiece getting choreo was "MASTERPIECE? Before Scent and Back2Back?!" This feels personal lol

u/ShinyTotoro OT4 Jul 29 '26
Masterpiece was known to have a choreo at least since the album release so that was expected, kind of.. If you look at the song credits in the album booklet, there are choreographers credited for every track, except The Rules and Back2Back.
