Background and release
[edit]- Unsourced:
On February 7, 2012, YG Entertainment announced that Big Bang would be making a comeback with their fifth Korean-language mini album, titled Alive on February 29.
- Sourced to ref 2 (Just a note: please check the next reference cited after the sentence to see whether the information is supported, as sometimes multiple sentences are sourced to the same ref).
- Why
mini album
is used in this section whenextended play
is used in the lede?
- As both of them are synonymous in the Kpop industry and to vary wording.
- Remove wikilink from
Korean
per MOS:OVERLINK - Why
YG
is used intead of the complete name?
- Referring to the company as simply YG is common so writing out the entire name every time it's mentioned is unnecessary in my view.
- I would suggest to use complete name or a pronoun (wherever possible) because just using YG may arise questions to some readers. -ink&fables «talk» 14:08, 2 July 2021 (UTC)
- When referring to Yang Hyun-suk himself, I usually would write "Yang" rather than "YG", and other articles do that to. I don't see much of a need to write YG Entertainment every time.
- I would suggest to use complete name or a pronoun (wherever possible) because just using YG may arise questions to some readers. -ink&fables «talk» 14:08, 2 July 2021 (UTC)

- See if Alive Galaxy Tour is the tour being mentioned here. If yes, then please unlink
concert tour
per MOS:LINKCLARITY and restructure the sentence linking to Alive Galaxy Tour. - Unsourced:
it was unveiled that the song would consist of a emotional concept, a change of style from some of their prior releases,
- I added an additional source for the emotional bit
- Unsourced:
The song was subsequently released as planned by YG Entertainment and marked Big Bang's first single in almost a year, since "Love Song" in April 2011.
- Unlink
YG Entertainment
here, instead link it in the first line of this section. - Better source needed:
It was made available worldwide on multiple platforms for digital download and streaming.
Current source is only a profile of the song from Melon and doesn't proveworldwide
releaseon multiple platforms
.
- Added Apple Music source
- This statement requires copy-edit:
A Japanese-language version of the track was recorded and included as part of the groups fourth Japanese studio album Alive, which was released on March 28, 2012.
- General note: if you have a suggestion for improving a sentence, you can provide it
- In the last line: correct the typo in
Big Band's

Composition
[edit]- long-time group collaborator → group's long-time collaborator
- Better source needed: The current source doesn't verify Teddy being group's long-time collaborator and that additional rap lyrics were written by T.O.P.
- Removed
- Credit The Korea Herald's reporter/staff (for example, Yim Hyun-su of The Korea Herald characterized...) OR can be written as: The Korea Herald article characterized...
- “crispy → "crispy (see inverted comma)
- Suggestion: join these two sentences:
Deemed as a stylistic shift from much of the group's previous releases, Big Bang embraces a more emotional side of the them seldom exposed to the public. Highlighting their mature vocals, the song attracted attention among fans and journalists for its ability in showcasing a side of Big Bang that is not often presented through their music.

Because I think sales can be combined from different sources, but per WP:SYNTHESIS we can't reach to a conclusion like "one of the best-selling singles in the country".
