Daniel Montesinos-Donaghy: The nasal “lalala” hook is on the edge of being annoying but succeeds in being goofy and lovelorn and immature at the same time. I can not get the idea of Chief Keef’s “Laughing to the Bank” with its HUAHUAHUA refrain out of my head when I listen to “Miss Right.” It’s nowhere near the closest point of reference but in their own obnoxious ways, both songs capture a particular frame of mind through teencentric nonsense, as though proper words will never capture what needs to be said. Keef deals in menace and money, obviously. Teen Top deal in of-the-moment cute, with only their “lalala” to differentiate them from any other corny vocal group. Also: “leggo!” Still a thing!

Iain Mew: The vamped “la la la,” laughs and wolf howls don’t exactly convince that “you got me crazy,” but they enhance the fun of a rickety fairground ride of a song.

Alfred Soto: Cute frog chorus, and thanks to an audible bass riff the rhythm hits hard. One Direction wouldn’t do as well.

Katherine St Asaph: The butt-ska and smarmy la-las suggest nothing more than a boy-band season of The Joe Schmo Show, where half the ringers are Gilbert Gottfried.

Sonya Nicholson: I love Kpop’s most prolific producer Brave Brothers too much to be objective about anything he’s done, but I recognize – for what it’s worth – that he has good songs and bad, uninspired retreads.  This is one of the good ones.  As for Teen Top, they’ve been running their career backwards: from seasoned players to psycho exes to angry, exhausted exes to asking girls out on bowling alley dates.  So when they pretend to be too shy even to ask the girl out, I don’t believe them and neither should you.  The transparent lie of the words doesn’t completely cancel out the infectious joy of the music, though.

Patrick St. Michel: The cheap-sounding keyboard at the chorus is up my alley, but the rest of this sounds a little too bland for my preferences. It wasn’t meant to be.

Will Adams: Maybe if the chorus stuck its landing, I would have been able to ignore that the whole song is built upon Casio Ska Preset #14. That and the la-las.

Jonathan Bogart: You have to work very hard to make a “la la la la” hook unappealing. Teen Top works very hard indeed, but in the opposite direction.

Edward Okulicz: In five years, Maroon 5 will sound exactly like this. Nothing like as good, mind you; the rhythm of the boys’ verses marches in lock-step with the beat and snaps fingers in your ears. The chorus is only half as catchy as it could be, but it’s as good as it needs to be.

Brad Shoup: The lesson, as always: if you swipe from Sugar Ray’s “Abracadabra,” you’re in the clear.
