Red Velvet - Power Up

Red Velvet - Power Up


     Red Velvet's "Power Up" is my favorite all time RV track next to "Russian Roulette". It is a super catchy electro-pop (even hints of chiptune) summery ear-worm track. I stumbled upon it while looking for tracks for one of my first K-Pop Demo Mixes and I'm sure glad I did. One of the easiest tracks to sub, as well, since it had under 30 distinct lines of lyrics. Red Velvet is gearing up for their first comeback since December of 2019, so this is perfect timing for a RV sub. Stay tuned for the 5th anniversary of "Russian Roulette" in September!

So happy 3rd year anniversary of "Power Up"! Please enjoy the subbed video and follow us on IG and TikTok and subscribe to the blog and YouTube channel.

From wiki:

"Power Up" is a Korean song recorded by South Korean girl group Red Velvet for their second special (sixth overall) Korean extended play, titled Summer Magic (2018). Characterized as an electro-pop song with elements of chip-music, the song was penned by Kenzie and was produced by production duo Moonshine, Ellen Berg Tollbom and Swedish singer-songwriter Cazzi Opeia, whom worked on the group's previous single "Peek-a-Boo".

"Power Up" was composed by Moonshine (Ludvig Evers & Jonatan Gusmark), Ellen Berg Tollbom and Swedish artist Cazzi Opeia with lyrics by Kenzie that had a "work hard and play hard" theme. Seulgi mentioned that the "encouraging message" came from SM Entertainment's executive producer and founder Lee Soo-man, who often told the group at a company workshop "You have to enjoy yourself whether you are playing or working" which they included in the song's lyrics.

Musically, "Power Up" was described as an electropop song with elements of chip-music. Tamar Herman of Billboard called the repetition of "banana-na-na" throughout the chorus "Minion-esque" and said they created a tune "built to reflect the lazy days of the season"
