"Cool with You" is a song by the South Korean girl group NewJeans from their second extended play (EP), Get Up. The song was released on July 21, 2023, by ADOR. "Cool with You" was written by Gigi, Kim Dong-hyun, Erika de Casier, Fine Glindvad Jensen and group member Danielle whilst composition was handled by Park Jin-soo, Frankie Scoca, Erika de Casier and Fine Glindvad Jensen. Two music videos were produced for the song—a side A video and side B video—and features appearances from HoYeon Jung and Tony Leung.

Background and release

The dual side A and side B music videos for "Cool with You" were uploaded to Hybe's official YouTube channel two days prior to being made available on streaming platforms. It follows the release of the music video for Get Up's first single "Super Shy," two weeks prior.[1] [2] [3]

Composition and reception

"Cool with You" is a track "firmly rooted in UK garage", according to NME, with Teen Vogue adding that it "is a standout vocally and visually".[4] [5] The latter publication highlighted the group's "individual runs and beautifully layered harmonies" throughout the track, drawing comparisons to "Hurt" from their debut EP. Paste described the genre as bedroom pop.[6]

"Cool with You" appeared at number nine on Time Out list of the best songs of 2023.[7]

Music video

Both the side A and side B videos were directed by Shin Wooseok and shot in Barcelona, Spain. HoYeon Jung, who portrays Cupid (or Eros), stars in the side videos and goes about life while appearing invisible to the people in her surroundings. Upon entering an art museum, member Danielle is shown presenting an oil painting titled L'Amour et Psyché (1817) by François-Édouard Picot to a group of spectators, in which she explains the tale of the forbidden love between Cupid and Psyche. Shortly after viewing the painting, Cupid sees a man who represents Psyche (portrayed by Micol Vela) and quickly becomes the object of her affections, while the members of NewJeans don angels watching the forbidden love story play out.

In side B, Cupid is finally visible to the man she first saw at the art museum, and thus their love story begins to unravel. Tony Leung portrays the antagonist Aphrodite in the video; upon appearing onscreen, he is shown to have made Psyche fall in love with another woman whilst Cupid returns to being completely invisible. The video ends with Cupid watching NewJeans dancing to the EP's interlude track "Get Up".[8] [9]
