#borntobeat

welcome to a very exciting blog!

the pentagon team here on amino got the fantastic opportunity to do a collaboration with the btob team!

the topic of this collab is trading concepts by choosing title tracks and b-sides from each group and determining how they would be done by the other group

enjoy!

title track :: i'll be your man

I'm probably going to fangirl a lot about this song of btob since it's my most favorite, but seeing how pentagon can do any style of music and make it their own, I decided to lend them this song! While btob focus more on the ballads, I'll be your man gave a little different touch to them showing their versitality as artists, and that was one of the main reason I chose this song for pentagon! With how daring dr.bebe was, I know they would slay having to perform this song while creating a tougher vibe to it. The dance might get tougher and the entire concept also fits pentagon some way with how the vocals are so beautiful and the rap styles kind of remind me of minhyuk x peniel x wooseok and ilhoon x dawn. I love the cinematography behind the entire music video, with all the acting and I can't really tell how well pentagon would do since they're also really talented actors! I wish to see kino doing parts of sungjae and have yuto colour his hair red like that of minhyuk and present himself doing minhyuks part. Since peniel was seen in a boxing arena with that style of outfit, hongseok immediately comes to mind ksks. It would be a delight watching pentagon do this style of music with hard hitting beats and beautifully put together voices. Watching them on kingdom made me realise how much greater they are at making a song their own type, so I bet hui would turn it into the typical perfect song for pentagon to sing while also keeping bit of the original song touch in it.

side track :: please

this song starts on a soft note while slowly increasing its pace, I really enjoy listening to this track and thus decided to give pentagon this song to sing as a side track. With the name suggesting being the "climax" I think it pretty much works as a single album like that of what treasure (yg new group) reminds me of. This song gives justice to both the vocalists and rappers which is why I mainly took this song for them, pentagon have such beautiful vocalists like already known and the rappers are so good too!! For matching the title track I thought going for straight up ballad wouldn't be so good, thus I chose this song since he can make listeners head bop over it while also pay attention to each tones in the song. Since it emphasises each member individually, it gives more justice to each one of them. I really adore this song like I already mentioned, and having to listen pentagon's version of a btob song already sounds so beautiful, imagine a collab?! Ah, that would be the best thing to ever happen!!

title track :: giddy up

i guess i tried to go after pentagon's more upbeat and joyous releases instead of fierce and powerful. i mean like this is such an exciting and happy-making song while the positive energy of it is all i ask for. it has a different feeling of excitement and comfort to pentagon's bright title tracks so far yet it definitely suits their energy especially whenever they're so chaotic. plus pentagon's colourful title tracks are still rather calm even they're so playful which means that this would be something slightly different for them. it also has a few more calm parts to it,so it's once again perfectly balanced while it suits pentagon's style so amazingly. plus i think that the upbeat feeling to it would give them a spotlight to show their impressive and pretty voices once more. i mean the vocals sound so strong and memorable especially the ones in a higher vocal range,so the vocals delivered by pentagon would hold so much power. there are also a few rap parts i think wooseok and yuto would do so well with. it in general simply suits their own level of uniqueness and chaotic energy. and i imagine the mv to be so colourful and bright while there are lots of crazy things going on probably in someone's house and yard. like it would be one of those mvs which is being filmed with someone's phone or a small camera while it just shows them having so much fun together and being chaotic

side track :: movie

for the bside i picked such an unique and pretty song i think suits pentagon's own colour so well. i realized i didn't pick a slower song or more fierce song yet instead another positive and energetic song. yet anyway it's a slower feeling of excitment which reminds me more of pentagon's colourful titletracks especially because the chorus itself is so soothing. like it balanced calmness and excitment so amazingly while it suits each own colour and voice tone. the song also has such stunning and beautiful vocal parts while the rap parts stand out so much. but it in general would make every member shine so much only by the fact how diverse and breathtaking their voices sound. plus the vocals in a higher vocal range could be easily delivered by literally any member. however i can't get over imagining how they would own those rap parts while adding their own style and voice tones to it. it would be something so powerful and charismatic that i can't stop thinking about this

title track :: beautiful pain

Usually I'd pick more hard-hitting and strong songs to our Pentagon for occasion like this, but for this time i wanted to settle down for something more calmer and more melancholic that would show Pentagons inner 'Violet' and a beautiful continuation of 'Daisy', with a title track being Beautiful pain and the promotional bside - Butterfly (from Btob respectively)!🦋

Beautiful pain is one of the most hard-hitting songs that BTOB has ever made to date, if not the the MOST out of them all (I make no rules jcjsnc), it's one of my favorite songs from them ever and it's one of the purest in emotional depth and pure raw musicality shown (the composition is just *chiefs kiss*) - its what kept me alive for a while being soulfully so thought out and every detail well showed!🦋 Pentagon would nail this as their own title track iMo and would give justice along the way, because it's soft and shows more vulnerability and emotional side that's only unique to both of these groups discographies (iMo, don't @ me)!🦋 They've already done similar concept songs as title tracks in the past (Daisy, Violet) but not that many that would solidify them in the field of emotional pulling songs, slow ballad type of ones - if they'd perform this I'd image it having a pretty light choreography, that would allow them to show more of their vocal strength and prove others what they're made of mentally (ft. rappers, can't forget about them) and that would show more of their raw energy, rather than focusing on performance itself which is more of this generations thing, lately!🦋 The song would have a similar vibe to the original (visuals, aesthetics, MV and storyline), keeping the melodramatic and melancholic aura that would make this a polaroid + i think pentagon would make this even sultrier than the original icjsjd but that's just me - some would like this one, some wouldn't and that's totally fine, we all have our own tastes per se so we good to go kcjs!🦋

side track :: butterfly

Butterfly on the other hand is much softer, even softer in of emotional power than Beautiful pain and i imagine this being performed while sitting down, beautifully showcasing vocal powers that Pentagon has (full love vocals, imagine the power)!🦋 It could be a perfect bside because it greatly contrasts Beautiful pain and in many ways - melodically, unsteumentally and even the vibe is much more diffenet!🦋 I chose butterfly because I wanted to make a concept, that would be like a storyline to tell and Beautiful pain makes this as a break up form, while Butterfly makes you fly away and forget about the pain - a good continuation to the story, if ya tell me kvjsjg!!🦋 These two songs are similar in tempo, yet shine completely different vibes to begin with – Butterfly is more an acoustic guitar accompanied song, that you'd like to listen to while having a cup of coffee or sum!🦋 Just to relax and enjoy your time while listening to Pentagon deliver their own charms and powerful vocals that they own, which is no denial they own ~

title track :: movie

PENTAGON and BTOB both have such amazing discographies and amazing concepts individually so when this collaboration was announced I couldn’t wait to get in on it, writing about two amazing groups and coming up with entirely new concepts for each! And when it came down to PENTAGON I wanted to do something chique and outside of the range of anything they’re ever really down before!

In the end for this concept I decided to give PENTAGON BTOB’s song “Movie”! This is definitely one of BTOB’s most well known songs for its catchy chorus and overall very recognizable music video with the usage of different movies to create an ongoing storyline in the MV and it really is so recognizable; especially Ilhoon’s portrayal of the Joker except with pink hair. I think that if PENTAGON were to take on this song and take on a concept for It I would automatically imagine it to be more darker and with a deeper sound compared to some of the original rapping. I think that PENTAGON’s rappers could really transform it and make it sound deeper and less formulaically produced while the vocalists could really change up the sound with the differences in how they can play with the range and harmonies located throughout. I think that Wooseok and Hui could also play around with some of the arrangement of the song to fit in with the new raps and deeper feelings they are going with along with having the music video itself be shot differently. I would love to see a different take on the video though, so instead of having it be several movies I would love to see an emphasis on only one film with the different finding ways to fit into it. I would love to see the acting also and think that it could serve as the perfect concept for them to take on!

side track :: beyond the time

Moving onto the b-side I chose for PENTAGON from BTOB’s discography and my choice was “Beyond The Time” and I don’t have a whole lot to say about this song outside of really the reason why I decided upon it, and of course like I mentioned for “Movie” changes both lyrically in the raps and in the production would be made accommodate all of the of PENTAGON, but really my reason behind choosing this song had to do with the timeless sound as the name suggests and with how movies are timeless fitting together to create a beautifully dark and retro concept with so many in depth storylines and themes running throughout weaving themselves together.

title track :: it's okay

for the songs i chose i really wanted to go for the ultimate healing concept, so that's why i picked it's okay as a title track. honestly this track is the essence of a comfort song. the lyrics talk about wanting to lift a heavy burden off your shoulders and and encourage taking a break. the warm comfort from these lyrics and the ballad style make it a perfect song for pentagon in this concept trade. pentagon and btob are both such vocally strong groups, so it's okay would translate really well into pentagon's style. i honestly forgot that this song was performed by vocalists from each of the groups in road to kingdom, but with that we already know how amazing hui sounds on this track (and of course the other would sound gorgeous too)! additionally, i think pentagon could perform the many layered harmonies and vocal techniques used by btob in it's okay very well because of their experience doing acapella versions of their own tracks. the rap sections also suit the rappers of pentagon nicely. in particular, i feel like the melodic rap peniel does towards the end of the song would really suit yuto's style (similar to his melodic rap at towards the end of eternal flame by pentagon). overall, pentagon would really excel in a full group cover of this song. i think they could make it sound gorgeous just like the original version by btob!

side track :: nanana

i chose nanana as a b-side because i think that song also goes very well with the soft and comforting concept. the lyrics describe leaving your worries behind and taking some time just for yourself. the message of the song is really healing and the sound is just a nice vibe. i honestly think yanan's voice would fit this song super well, how light it is would really suit the carefree feeling of this song. i can imagine pentagon having a fun and happy time performing this song. they could even have one of the do a guitar accompaniment, it would be so so pleasant to the ears altogether. i really adore the soft but bright vibes of this song and i would love to see hear it in pentagon's own style as well!
