📣 Shoutout to @Daijah for requesting this video under my “why IVE’s ‘After Like’ sounds familiar”. Hope this helps 💕
Just wanna reiterate for the people who are quick to judge and say that I'm accusing IVE of being copycats, I'm not. I listen to a lot of music and love giving people song recommendations that sound similar to ones that they love.

‧͙⁺˚*･༓☾ My notes ☽༓･*˚⁺‧͙
💿 Perfect Places - Lorde
Idk how to explain it but when I listen to Love Dive or Perfect Places now, I can hear the ghost of the other song.
Bass line in the chorus is like a grungy-alt-indie version of the “woo” part in Love Dive.
💿 Vegas Lights - Panic! At The Disco
Similar beat to the “narcissistic, my god I love it” part in Love Dive.
Chorus follows a similar progression.
Similar “woo” part.
💿 Far Too Young to Die - Panic! At The Disco
Verses have a similar vibe to Love Dive’s verses.
The chorus follows a similar melody as the chorus in Love Dive as well.
💿 Oh No! - Marina
Similar drums in the opening (and right after the first chorus) of Love Dive. Pretty sure it’s a sample cos I hear it often (don’t quote me on that).
Song structure is similar
💿 Genie in a bottle - Christina Aguilera
Prechoruses sound similar.
In general, Love Dive reminds me of songs by big female acts from the late 1990s to 2000s, like Christina Aguilera, The Pussycat Dolls, Kylie Minogue and Britney Spears.
💿 How You Get The Girl - Taylor Swift
Drums are similar to the ones used in the opening (and right after the first chorus) of Love Dive. Again wouldn’t be surprised if it’s a sample.
💿 Different - WOODZ
EXACT SAME progression into the chorus and chorus structure.
💿 Dumhdurum - Apink
Background vocals of the chorus in Love Dive follow a similar melody to the instrumentals in here.
Other songs with a similar vibe:
These are song with material gworl 💅 vibes or something that I can only describe as ✨expensive dreaminess✨.
