Described as "edgy" and "experimental", "Cherry Bomb" is a track with "complex, ominous and siren-like" synth work, and heavily infused bass. The song is said to have "fuzzy electro-rock" influence, with "chanty" chorus and a few melodic interludes within the verse and the bridge section. [12] [13] The song is composed in the key of F♯ minor, and set in common time at a moderate tempo of 78 beats per minute. [14] The song also has an additional extended mix, titled "Performance version", which contains a 25-second length of an instrumental future bass breakdown after the bridge section (starting from the 2-minute and 57-second mark with a distorted "and now, the breakdown" preceded). In addition, a remix version for "Cherry Bomb" was also available, containing a different instrumental breakdown section.

Lyrically, the song sees the group proclaim to be "the biggest hit" on such "propulsive and built to be performed" stage the members swagger about, referring the thrill of it "tastes like a cherry bomb". [12] According to producer Abernathy, the original demo lyrics were "crazy" and "super super nasty" in comparison to the Korean adapted lyrics, which was written by Jennifer Decilveo, Deepflow, Lim Jung-hyo, Oh Min-joo, fellow member Taeyong and Mark. [10] The song also contains a lyrical reference to the popular American children's song "If You're Happy and You Know It" during the pre-chorus section. Originally recorded in Korean, an English version of "Cherry Bomb" was recorded and released on October 22, 2018, for their Apple Music-digital exclusive extended play, titled Up Next Session: NCT 127. [15] The Korean version was later re-included in the group's first Japanese full-length album Awaken , released on April 19, 2019. [16]

Critical reception

Following its initial release, "Cherry Bomb" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Writer Jeff Benjamin from Fuse called the song "edgy" and "explosive", oozing confidence which "makes the case" for NCT 127 to be an "experimental" act. [13] During an interview with the group, journalist Hong Dam-young described the song as "powerful hip-hop tune "with a "pulsating and brassy backing chorus". [17] In an album review from Seoulbeats, the song is said to be a "jam-packed from top to finish" track, and while it may "sound messy and disorganised", the final result eventually worked. Writer Margaret also went on to compliment the vocals of the song, citing its consistency with the rest of the track. [18] Writer Sarah Boumedda from The Kraze magazine commented how the song was "hard to reconcile" at first, but "begs" its listeners to repeat again after several times, highlighting certain musical section such as the bridge and "beautiful" vocal melody break. [19] The song also went on to appear in year-end critics lists by Billboard and Idolator , landing at number seventeen and twenty-one respectively. While Billboard chose the song for its "eerie vibe", Idolator noted its "sinister" synth line and "sick" hip-hop production which made the song "one of the hottest tracks" in 2017. [20] [21]

Commercial performance

In comparison to their previous two singles, "Cherry Bomb" saw a breakthrough commercial success for NCT 127 in their native country. Following its initial release, the song debuted and peaked at number forty-seven on the Gaon Digital Chart for the week of June 17, 2017. [26] It also debuted at number twenty-eight on the component Gaon Download Chart, having achieved a total of 39,006 downloads. [27] By this, the song was the group's highest-charting entry for years, being surpassed by "Kick It" in 2020 when the song rose to number twenty-one on the former chart a week after its release, while topping the latter chart for two weeks. Subsequently, the song became the group's first single to appear in a monthly issue of a component Gaon chart, peaking at number ninety-six with an accumulative of 71,061 downloads. [28] It also debuted and peaked at number three on the Billboard World Digital Song Sales chart, spending a total of six charting weeks. [29]

Music video

Directed by South Korean director Oui Kim, the animation-laced music video for "Cherry Bomb" emphasizes the group's dance performance at a seemingly-abandoned construction site and factory storage, featuring motorcycle and wirework stunt. [30] It was filmed in two days at Gyeonggi, South Korea back in May 2017, weeks before its official premiere. [31] It was choreographed by Tony Testa, with two additional "dance practice" versions for the song uploaded onto the label's YouTube channel from June 21 to 23, 2017, a week after the release of its official music video. [32] [33] [34]

Tour and live performances

To coincide with the song's release, NCT 127 held their first showcase since their debut for free on June 14, where they performed the song live for the first time. [35] [36] The group then had their first television performance for "Cherry Bomb" and the album track "0 Mile" on M Countdown on June 15, followed by live performances on Show! Music Core and Inkigayo. [37] [38] The song, however, was deemed "unfit for broadcast" by KBS due to mentions of violence in their lyrics, with gory descriptions and more. [39] The group did not perform the song for their Music Bank promotion, but instead performed "0 Mile". [40] NCT 127 eventually earned their first M Countdown music trophy for the song, and subsequently the group's first since their debut on June 22, 2017. [41] The group would continue to promote the song throughout 2017, having attended and performed at several year-end ceremonies including MBC's 2017 Gayo Daejejeon and 2018 Seoul Music Awards. The group also collaborated with fellow labelmate Red Velvet and producer Hitchhiker for two performances during their attendance at the 2017 Mnet Asian Music Awards, where they performed an intro containing a reversed sample from NCT U's "The 7th Sense" single and "Cherry Bomb", followed by a joint performance with Red Velvet over Hitchhiker's "10$". [42] [43]

NCT 127 gave their first live performances internationally at the 2017's KCON music festival in Los Angeles and New York City, respectively. [44] [45] The group then attended as an exclusively-invited act for the Apple Store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn on June 25, 2017, where they performed both "Cherry Bomb" and "0 Mile", along with "Limitless". With this, NCT 127 became the first K-pop act to be invited and introduced in Apple Music's "New Artist of the Week" list. [46] The group then continued to promote the song again in 2018 during their promotion cycle for Regular-Irregular , again as the opening performance for their first headlining concert tour in the same year, titled "Neo City - The Origin", and later during their initial promotion activities for We Are Superhuman in 2019. [47] [48] The song continued to serve as the opening number for the group's first online live concert on May 17, 2020, titled " Beyond the Origin ." [49]
