K/DA: Ranking Every Song on the New K/DA Album ALL OUT
By Josh Tyler
Your favorite League of Legends K-Pop group, K/DA has a new EP, ALL OUT.
K/DA fans have been waiting for the follow-up to their first hit POP/STARS for just over two years. While we’ve been teased with new songs including The Baddest and More, those were just the appetizers for K/DA’s long-awaited EP. Today, that EP, ALL OUT, dropped with three new songs in addition to the Baddest and More.

Having listened to all five songs on the ALL OUT EP, I can safely say that there are no “bad” songs on this track list. But, the question of which song is the best? That’s a tougher question to answer as we rank the five songs in ALL OUT.
5. Villain
It feels a bit more generic than the other songs on ALL OUT. I feel like this could have been a much stronger song lyrically if they really leaned into the lore of “bad” girls like Akali and Evelynn, but this missed the mark. Also, the chorus is just a repetitive chore (“I’m a straight-up villain, yeah no fillin'”).
4. I’ll Show You
This is probably the most unique of all the songs on ALL OUT. It’s a bit more mellow and ballad-y, which totally works. However, the chorus just falls flatter than I think it could have, lyrically, given how well the song builds to it. It’s a bit of an experiment for K/DA and unfortunately, it didn’t always work for me.
3. More
Akali gets all the praise for her strong bars in this song (deservedly) but I don’t think this song gets enough credit for being solid outside of that 50ish seconds. This song has a good beat and Akali masks the otherwise “meh” lyrics.
2. Drum Go Dum
The beat on this song man. The beat on the chorus of this song is a straight banger. The lyrics aren’t incredible or anything, but the beat on this song is easily the best on ALL OUT. Like the lyrics say, this song just hits so different. That said, the subtext of this song is probably going to lead to a lot of remixes and/or memes and I’m here for that.
1. The Baddest
“The Baddest” is the Bestest of ALL OUT. This song goes toe-to-toe with “POP/STARS” in terms of catchiness, bars spit by ‘Kali, and ear-worm appeal. I could listen to this song on repeat over and over for days. In fact, I have. Even after all these new songs dropped today, I just found myself going back to “the Baddest.” Like ‘Kali, you the G.O.A.T. “the Baddest.”
