In less than 24 hours since its release, fans have already become obsessed with the music video and the song. The aesthetics, the concept employed, the outfits, and the choreography were some of the many things that fans complemented NewJeans on.

Following the release of the latest track, fans took to Twitter to post about it, trending the phrase "What's your ETA?" - a play on the song's name.


Fans celebrate the release of NewJeans' third title track, ETA, for their latest EP album, Get Up

As the much-awaited release of NewJeans' Get Up, along with its third title track, ETA, landed on the internet, fans were left gushing. Despite the group being rookies, many felt that their acting in the music video, along with everything else, is quite remarkable.

Additionally, given that the word ETA presents itself as an abbreviation that the NewJeans members don't expand on in the lyrics of the song, many became curious about what it means. While in the corporate world, it means 'Estimated Time of Arrival, in the world of coding, it refers to 'Edited To Add'. However, with the lyrics of the song, neither of the meanings seem to match.

As speculations about the meaning continued, many took to social media to shower praises on the song:

In light of fans trying to get to the bottom of the song's alliterations and meanings, many linked the group and song to a terrorist organization named ETA, a Basque separatist group.

The speculation further intensified as fans highlighted that in the song's teaser, the credits read:

"Starring NewJeans, Eva, Mikel, Maria."

While NewJeans clearly referred to the band, the other three names allegedly refer to the major people involved in the action and procession of the terrorist organization.

It must be noted that there's no confirmation on the theory or concept adopted with NewJeans' ETA. However, that has not stopped netizens from taking to social media and calling out the group for the choice of name for their track.

Regardless of the controversy, with the group putting forth exciting tracks one after the other with almost every release, many have been showering their love and support to them. The other tracks in the album, Get Up, have also been received positively by fans.
