Lyrics of the song :

Oh no here we go
Watch me shake it low
Everybody askin’ questions I don’t even know
Take it soft and slow
My obsession grows
Everybody askin’ questions I don’t even know

(Ah, ooh)
Talkin’ real fast when I got you baby
(Ah, mmm)
Spending my time thinkin’ ’bout you lately
I can’t see no more I’m blind, yeah
Tell me when you’re lost I’ll find ya
Lost I’ll find ya

You got me red
You got me cold in my apartment screamin’ yeah
You want somebody who can touch you like I did
I’m your masterpiece my blinded eyes are red
He put that body on me, uh
He sick of callin’ no one else
He ain’t gon’ call it for me, eyes are blinded red
I seem to forget where I am
Love when you comin’ over here
Beat down on it, forfeit blinded eyes still red

Look at the place I’m in you got me facetiming
You got my eyes woke and my fire stoked and I think I’m in
Ridin’ ridin’ like I’m stuntin’ for the money, yeah
Sick and tired of the runnin’ ain’t gon’ find it there

(Ah, ooh)
Talkin’ real fast when I got you baby
(Ah, mmm)
Spending my time thinkin’ ’bout you lately
I can’t see no more I’m blind, yeah
Tell me when you’re lost I’ll find ya
Lost I’ll find ya

You got me red
You got me cold in my apartment screamin’ yeah
You want somebody who can touch you like I did
I’m your masterpiece my blinded eyes are red
He put that body on me, uh
He sick of callin’ no one else
He ain’t gon’ call it for me, eyes are blinded red
I seem to forget where I am
Love when you comin’ over here
Beat down on it, forfeit blinded eyes still red

Oh no here we go
Watch me shake it low
Everybody askin’ questions I don’t even know
Take it soft and slow
My obsession grows
Everybody askin’ questions I don’t even know

You got me red
You got me cold in my apartment screamin’ yeah
You want somebody who can touch you like I did
I’m your masterpiece my blinded eyes are red
He put that body on me, uh
He sick of callin’ no one else
He ain’t gon’ call it for me, eyes are blinded red
I seem to forget where I am
Love when you comin’ over here
Beat down on it, forfeit blinded eyes still red

Rating

4.5 out of 5
It’s a bold, atmospheric track that successfully showcases MINNIE’s vocal depth and artistry, transcending typical K-pop conventions with its dark, cinematic vibe. Some may find the heavy autotune stylistic choice polarizing, but it largely enhances the mood.

Review

“Blind Eyes Red” is a moody, immersive solo debut pre-release from MINNIE that immediately differentiates itself from typical K-pop fare. Set at a moderate 118 BPM in B Minor, the track fuses atmospheric trap elements with haunting R&B vocals that are as dreamlike as they are intense. Visually, the MV—a dark, red-and-black-themed masterpiece—visually codifies the emotional intensity of the song, portraying inner transformation and obsession through bold cinematography and surreal motifs.

Vocally, MINNIE’s performance commands attention. Her dreamy tone works in harmony with the heavy bass and trap percussion. The stylistic autotune—a point of debate among fans—adds a dystopian edge. Some listeners felt it dampened her vocal naturalness; others embraced it for fitting the dark vibe

Fans praised the emotional pull

The track’s unconventional sound drew comparisons to The Weeknd, Chase Atlantic, and BANKS—pointing to its boundary-pushing yet universally resonant quality.

In sum, “Blind Eyes Red” is a daring solo proclamation—visually and sonically rich, emotionally direct, and defiantly non-formulaic. A bold, high-impact entry into MINNIE’s solo discography.
