I’m not bothered by the lyrics because I don’t understand Korean anyway… the rhythm of the song is great, the singing and dancing from the girls is awesome, I see nothing to fault this awesome piece ;D

1) LA Times –
“‘I Got a Boy’ by Girls’ Generation, a gleefully chaotic song that says much about pop music’s trajectory.”

2) Billboard –
” to create one of the most-forward thinking lead pop singles heard in any country. With this title track, Girls’ Generation just set the bar truly high for pop in 2013.”

3) MuuMuse –
““I Got A Boy” probably won’t click on first play/view (actually, it definitely won’t), but with each listen, the track’s genius becomes increasingly obvious: It’s a majorly forward-thinking, fearless production that bends the rules of pop, and further cements Girls’ Generation’s legacy as one of the most exciting South Korean girl groups of the decade.”

4) Popdust –
“A song this slammin’ deserves an equally as brilliant music video, and as expected, Girls’ Generation delivers. ”

5) MTV –
“it’s pretty much impossible to watch it just once. Ahem, not that we’re complaining…”

6) AKP –
“I have absolutely no complaints about this song. It is without a doubt the strongest release by Girls’ Generation—and perhaps in all of K-Pop—to date. Kudos to SM Entertainment for their obvious hard work to transition these girls from an object of the male gaze to a legitimate musical group. ”

7) Toronto Star –
“The result — arguably among the most adventurous pop music being made on the planet — both invites resistance and makes it difficult to summon any up. ”

8) Idolator –
“The bombastic track gets equally over-the-top visuals, with a color palette that would make Nicki Minaj yelp with excitement and synchronized dance moves that are swag personified. We know it’s early in the year, but it’ll be tough to find anything else in 2013 that packs such a glorious sensory overload into such a short amount of time.”
