“BOOMBAYAH” is remarkable as well.Its intro part is built up on unique synth sound and rhythmical rapping. It is an EDM (cross-over) combined with electronic house and dance hall, a mega-trend genre that is sweeping American Billboard recently. In the energetic and powerful drop part in the chorus, the key is modulated to give a fresh twist. An intense drum beat is also impressive.

BLACKPINK will give their debut performance in SBS “INKIGAYO” on the 14 this month.
