Composition

The song was written and produced by Shinsadong Tiger, LE and V!VE.[2] It samples the 2015 song "WTF (Where They From)" by Missy Elliott featuring Pharrell Williams.[3] The song was described by Billboard's Tamar Herman as an electro-pop song, "[k]icking off with a powerful bass beat and wailing synths". She added that the song "begins as a mid-tempo track before a breathy pre-chorus builds into a climactic chorus that's filled with groovy instrumentals and is enhanced by LE’s garbled titular chant". Lyrically, the song "tell[s] the story of a woman demanding the truth from a lover who cheats on her time and time again but trembles in fear before her, as she alternates between reactions ranging from regret to anger to self-blame."[4]

Chart performance

The song debuted at number 9 on the Gaon Digital Chart, on the chart issue dated November 5–11, 2017, with 89,441 downloads sold and 1,819,529 streams.[5][6][7] In its second week, the song fell to number 15, with 59,553 downloads sold and 2,628,760 streams.[8][9][10] The song debuted at number 14 on the chart for the month of November 2017, with 222,859 downloads sold and 8,941,891 streams accumulated.[11][12][13]

It also debuted at number 34 on Billboard Korea's Kpop Hot 100.[14] In its second week, the song rose to number 21 and peaked at number 13 a week later.[15][16] The song also debuted at number 6 on Billboard's World Digital Song Sales chart, becoming the group's third top ten entry.[17]

Music video

A music video teaser was released on November 5, 2017. The music video was officially released on November 7 through the group's official YouTube channel.[4] Member Solji is absent from the music video due to health issues, but her vocals can be heard on the song.
