Blitzers' quirky Macarena won them fans in 2023, harnessing a goofy, freewheeling energy while still working within established boy group tropes. Superpower seems intent on replicating that success, fusing a catchy brass loop to the rambunctious sing-talk we hear from many of their peers.
Superpower is indeed fun, but I don't think the song itself is all that strong. Apart from the brassy centerpiece, much of the track goes in one ear and out the other. I like its hearty post-chorus, even if the melodies could stand to be developed further. The verses -- and especially the pre-chorus -- are another matter. There's a lot happening here, yet none of it is memorable enough to stick. Strip away the colorful production and you're essentially left with a couple guys shouting at each other.
Fortunately, the song's upbeat energy carries things over the line. If nothing else, the beat will get your head nodding. It's hard to actively dislike a song this cheerful, but there are many similarly-pitched tracks I'd prefer to listen to.
