Review: Corbyn Besson & Tzuyu – “BLINK”

Written by: Keyali Mikaela

Corbyn Besson and Tzuyu’s “BLINK” is a sleek, playful duet that feels like instant pop chemistry. Built on sharp percussion and an infectious groove, the track leans into flirtation without overcomplicating things, letting the back-and-forth between Corbyn and Tzuyu drive the story.

Lyrically, it’s bold and cheeky from the jump. Corbyn paints the picture with lines like “Struttin’ like a runway show, that collarbone could cut a damn cake” before admitting he’s hooked: “She got me wrapped around her fingers so tight.” Tzuyu’s chorus flips the script with her icy coolness—“You’re sweet, I get it / But I want something acidic”—a line that instantly cements her as the one in control. That push-and-pull is what makes the song so addictive; it’s conversational, playful, and sparks in a way that recalls the best duets of the mid-2000s, when Timbaland was lacing the charts with slick, rhythm-driven pop hits.

The music video, filmed in Seoul, is just as magnetic. Neon streets, fast cuts, and flashes of choreography bring the song’s energy to life, while the city setting keeps it grounded in a vibrant, real-world atmosphere. Watching Corbyn and Tzuyu play off each other visually only heightens the track’s tension, turning the narrative of “don’t blink, you might miss it” into a literal experience.

What makes “BLINK” stand out is how it nods to that classic pop era while staying firmly in the now. It’s polished, global, and fun without losing its edge. Corbyn’s smooth R&B-pop sensibility pairs surprisingly well with Tzuyu’s sharp, effortless delivery, giving the song balance and bite.

If this is any indication of Corbyn’s upcoming solo EP, he’s diving into a sound that’s both nostalgic and forward-thinking. And with Tzuyu stepping into her own lane outside TWICE, “BLINK” feels less like a one-off collab and more like a statement: two artists entering new eras with confidence, spark, and undeniable star power.
