EXO have been flirting with the dark side in their music, but “Obsession” is where they make being bad truly feel good. Playing on themes of confronting your demons, “Obsession” is a conversation between the band’s inner Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Parts of the song teeter right on the edge of malevolence as the band members use their mythic powers to battle their alter-egos, infamously dubbed X-EXO. Powerful bass holds the song taut while seamless vocal samples loop into threats and taunts, making it crackle with electricity and delicious arrogance. Even after seven years in the industry, EXO surprised us all with the ominous intensity of “Obsession”, proving why the crown of K-pop is safe in their hands.
