Annie

T O Double P, D O Double G, yes it’s Topp Dogg and no, it’s no spelling error. As cheesy as their name sounds like, this group of 13 members is far from the cheesy-dols as the group rocks the stage with their hiphop music. Debuted on the 24^th of October last year, the group had just celebrated their first year anniversary on last month. To celebrate this, the group made their awaited comeback -since Kidoh’s solo promotions, with the song Annie. #DoggsFirstAnnie

Their comeback song entitled ‘Annie’ had the old school feel in it, as what Atom exclaimed as soon as the song starts: ‘Back to the old school!’ The song’s beat, the members’ outfits, the music video and even the choreography really had us transported back to an old school feel in their comeback. At first glance of the title, one might say that this is a love song centered on a girl named Annie. I myself thought of that too but once you get to know the lyrics behind these foreign words, there can actually be a double meaning in it.

With the title being ‘Annie’ and lines that go ‘Our anniversary, let’s keep going till the end’ and ‘When I think of you, my heart still races like the first time’ strongly depicts that the song is indeed the cheesy type of love song. That, in my opinion, is one version of how you look at the song. However, certain fans say that the song is actually a song dedicated to the fans -but made like a love song. And when you look at it in a wider view, it really is like a song dedicated to the fans that supported them all the way to their first anniversary. And thus the title ‘Annie’, instead of the name of a girl, is actually a short cut for ‘anniversary’

Topp Dogg, is one of the biggest boy group in the industry –in terms of number of course. But that doesn't stop them from creating a hundred percent synchronization when it comes to their dance. This group made famous some creative dances during their comebacks. The ‘fan dance’ during their ‘Arario’ comeback was my all time favorite choreography. This time around, the group had brought a new choreography with the use of “disk plates”.  Creative, I know

This song received a great reaction from their fans. From their digital album down to their stage performances, the fans actively showed their support with this comeback.  Topp Dogg may not be one of the top groups now –which is understandable since they’re still at their first year in the industry. But with every comeback, they show the audience what they are capable of. And in these comebacks, they are slowly climbing to their spot on top.
