“Ko Ko Bop” is the lead single from Korean boy group, EXO’s 4th studio album, The War. It’s an energetic reggae pop song with a rhythmic harmony, rhythmic reggae and heavy bass sounds.

On the track, EXO sings about how to “let your body move” as it wants and dance together on the night before the inevitable war, thus, symbolizing living a happy life before facing one’s daily struggle.

Also, the title “Ko Ko Bop” is a combination of words ‘Ko Ko’ which means fun and ‘Bop’ which means dancing according to music. Thus means, “to dance with rhythm”.

The music video for the track features eight members of the group excluding member, Lay who is continuing his solo work in China. EXO begin using their “powers” for daily purposes, like cooling down water with ice.

Inspired by ‘Down Down Baby’, a play on rhythm popular among children in England and America. The track presents an energetic reggae pop sound that appeals to ears with the combination of the rhythmical reggae guitar and the heavy bass sounds.

EXO’s CHEN, CHANYEOL, and BAEKHYUN participated in writing the lyrics that encourages individuals not tobe shy and dance away the last night to the rhythm before the unavoidable, fateful war occurs.
