Background and release

On March 19, 2024, KOZ Entertainment announced BoyNextDoor's second extended play (EP) How? , marking their first release in seven months and forming the final part of their trilogy of releases narrating a story of a "first love". [1]

On March 29, the track list for the EP was released, with "Earth, Wind & Fire" marked as the lead single". [2] A snippet of the track was released on April 8, as part of a "track spoiler" preview for the EP. [3] A 23-second teaser for the single's music video was released on April 12, three days before the EP's release. [4]

Composition

"The killer part of the lead single is the sped-up section and the chorus where we spit out the lyrics at machine gun speed"

— Sungho, in a media showcase for How? [5]

"Earth, Wind & Fire" has a runtime of two minutes and 59 seconds. The song was written by members Jaehyun, Taesan, and Woonhak, alongside producers Zico and Kako. A hyperpop song, the track discusses a "love that does not go as planned". [6] Member Sungho remarked that the song's lyrics narrates a plot that "develops and changes constantly". [7] Lyrically, the song likens love to the "unpredictable nature" of the classical elements. [8] [9]

Member Jaehyun drew inspiration from the British film franchise Kingsman in writing the song. Envisioning a character "exuding confidence and charm yet revealing vulnerability in intimate moments", Jaehyun aimed to "infuse a sense of gentleness" into the song. [10] Member Riwoo stated that the song expresses the "frustration that runs through your mind when you're in love but nothing goes as planned". [5] The track features a "sped-up" section that delivers the lines in a fast-pace. [5]

At a media showcase, the members clarified that the song's title bears no relation to the American band Earth, Wind & Fire. [11] An English version of the track is featured on the EP, and serves as its closing track. [12]

Music video

The music video for "Earth, Wind & Fire" was released in conjunction with the single and the EP. [4] Themed after the kitschcore aesthetic of How?, [13] the music video conveys the "unpredictable twists and turns of first love" and visualizes the song in constantly shifting landscapes set in Earth and outer space. [14] Member Riwoo was credited for contributing to the choreography for the song. [15]

Accolades

On South Korean music programs, "Earth, Wind & Fire" achieved first place wins on the April 23 episode of The Show , [16] April 24 episode of Show Champion , [17] and April 26 episode of Music Bank . [18]
