"Lolly Bomb" [lower-alpha 1] [2] [3] [4] is a song by the Russian punk-pop-rave group Little Big. It was released on 8 December 2017 as the lead single from the group's third studio album Antipositive, Pt. 1 .
In an interview with Knife, the directors said the following about the song: [5]
We came up with the clip somehow by accident, sitting in a cafe - I, Ilyich and Tatarka . We sat, inflated and realized that we really like the idea of Kim and the tender relationship with the bomb.
— Aline Pyazok
In the song, the play on words lollypop and lollybomb refers to a beautiful woman. Her beauty is as explosive as a bomb. I had a sketch for a long time. And we did the song with our team: we wrote the music with Lyubim, the text was written by Fami.
The release of the music video was 8 December 2017 on the group's official YouTube channel. The video was directed by Ilya Prusikin and Aline Pyazok.
The clip is set in North Korea, where Kim Jong-Un falls in love with a nuclear missile. Kim and the missile go on dates and make love. Just as Kim proposes, army men take the missile away from him and launch it into the sky. Kim is very upset about this, but as the video ends, he encounters another rocket and falls in love again.
The group searched for an actor for the role of Kim Jong-Un for a long time. They looked at Russian actors, then Kazakh actors. In the end, they found an Australian actor of Hong Kong origin, Howard X, to play Kim in the video. [6]
