Fya Composition
"Fya" is a Jersey club song,[ 1] [ 2] with "revving synths and distorted beats".[ 3] The music has been described as evoking the "sound of machinery in motion"[ 4] and the sensation of a "chase scene through a bondage club, full of thrums and thwacks."[ 5]
Critical reception
The song received generally positive reviews. AllMusic 's Neil Z. Yeung described it as "impeccably-produced" and "a high intensity dancefloor assault".[ 6] Nicole Fell of The Hollywood Reporter and Maria Letícia L. Gomes of Clash both considered it a standout of Arirang ,[ 2] [ 4] with the former commenting that "Sonically speaking, it's completely out of left field for the group, in the best way possible. The lyrics are catchy ass [sic ] hell too".[ 2] Rhian Daly of NME stated the song "revs up into something urgent and uplifting."[ 7] Pitchfork 's Joshua Minsoo Kim criticized the song, describing it as "noxiously self-serious, its half-energetic verve deadened by its Auto-Tune slurry."[ 8]
