"Psycho" received positive reviews from music critics for its "smooth and sultry" delivery and its "haunting", "catchy yet structured" production. Though released at the end of 2019, critics cited the single as one of the best K-pop songs of that year. The song charted at number one in Singapore and in North America, where it was the group's second number-one song on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart and tied them with 2NE1 as the girl groups with the most top-10 entries on the ranking. It peaked at number two in Malaysia and for three consecutive weeks on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart, giving Red Velvet their 12th domestic top-10 entry. The song also charted at number 10 on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart, and spent one week at number 99 on the component UK Singles Downloads Chart, marking the group's UK chart debut.

Background and release

Following Red Velvet's third concert La Rouge in November 2019, SM Entertainment revealed two teaser posters on social media at 00:00 on December 12 that year, along with an official press release that confirmed Finale would conclude Red Velvet's "Music Festival" trilogy throughout 2019.

"Psycho" was written by American record producer Andrew "Druski" Scott, Korean-American Singer-songwriter EJAE, and their frequent Swedish collaborator Cazzi Opeia during a 2017 songwriting camp in Seoul, South Korea. Following a conversation between the three composers about a relationship issues/breakup in which "being heartbroken is almost like feeling psycho", they started working the idea into a song. [3] Having acknowledged Red Velvet's dual sonic concepts, in which "Red" refers to the group's mild and vibrant image, and "Velvet" refers to their smooth R&B side, [4] Scott wanted to "blend the two" concepts together. Opeia recorded a demo version in English that was leaked on the Internet weeks before the song's release; songwriter Kenzie rewrote the lyrics in Korean with additional arrangement from producer Druski and Yoo Young-jin, the latter of whom co-produced the group's previous single "Bad Boy" in 2018. [5]

Musically, "Psycho" has been described as an up-tempo urban song; Tamar Herman of Billboard described it as an R&B-pop track with future bass, a "grandiose operatic" instrumental intro with "dramatic" pizzicato strings, "classical" chords and trap beats, squelching synthesizers, which made it the group's seventh single to fall under the "Velvet" concept. [3] [6] According to Scott, the chorus contains the syncopation of hi-hats that is combined with the drum line to maintain the song's pace. It was composed in the key of Eb major with a tempo of 140 beats per minute. [7] The group's vocals span two octaves, from the low note of G3 to the high-note of G5. A slightly different version of the song was used for the music video; the chorus has an additional synth line and the pre-chorus included a string melody, elements that were omitted from the digital and streaming version. The song's lyrics tell the story of a relationship that is "full of ups and downs" in which a couple "fights so much that they appear crazy in the eyes of others but are nonetheless meant for each other" and eventually assure the listener "we're gonna be alright". [8]

Commercial performance

"Psycho" debuted at number two on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart for the period December 22–28, 2019, the year's final chart; [9] rapper Changmo's "Meteor" blocked it from reaching number one for three consecutive weeks. [9] [10] [11] The song entered the Monthly Digital Chart for December at number 31 [12] and peaked at number three on the January 2020 issue. [13] It topped the Gaon Download Chart for two weeks, giving the group their sixth number-one song on the chart, [14] [15] and peaked at number two for two weeks on the component Streaming Chart. [16] [17] The song entered the Billboard K-Pop Hot 100 at number nine on the chart issue dated December 28, 2019. [18]

On the chart issue dated January 1, 2020, "Psycho" peaked at number two, [19] where it remained for two consecutive weeks. [20] In November 2020, the song received platinum certification from the Korea Music Content Association for surpassing 100 million streams. [21] "Psycho" was the ninth-best performing single of 2020 on Gaon's Year-end Digital Chart, and the only one by an idol group to appear in the top ten. [22]

On the week of January 4, 2020, "Psycho" debuted at number one on the US Billboard World Digital Songs Chart, giving Red Velvet their second US number-one song following their 2018 single "RBB (Really Bad Boy)". This made them one of the nine K-pop artists to top the chart more than once, and the fourth girl group to do this. [23] Moreover, "Psycho" became Red Velvet's 16th top-ten entry, thus tying with 2NE1 as the South Korean girl groups with the most top-ten entries on the chart. [24] [25] The song also became Red Velvet's second entry on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart after "Zimzalabim", entering at number 10 for the week of December 30, 2019. [26] It also debuted at number 99 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart, where it spent one week, becoming their first song to appear on a UK component chart. [27]

Live performances

Red Velvet delivered their first live performance of "Psycho" at the ReVe Festival FINALE Party on December 22, 2019, which premiered exclusively on V Live. [28] [29] The group's attendance at the annual SBS Gayo Daejeon for the debut television performance of the single was confirmed on 25 December [30] but vocalist Wendy was injured during rehearsals and a pre-recorded performance was aired instead. [31] The group subsequently performed as a quartet, and covered all of Wendy's parts, at the 29th Seoul Music Awards on January 30, 2020. [32] "Psycho" was also included in Red Velvet's three-song set for the SMTOWN Live Culture Humanity online live concert on January 1, 2021. [33]
