About the Song

《OMG》 is a song from NewJeans’ self-titled single album, released on January 2, 2023, by ADOR, a subsidiary of Hybe Corporation. Produced by Jinsu Park and composed with Ylva Dimberg and David Dawood, the track features lyrics by Dimberg, Gigi, and NewJeans member Hanni, drawing inspiration from high school dramas to explore themes of young love, devotion, and one-sided affection. Musically, it blends R&B, hip-hop, and pop, weaving hip-hop percussion, trap rhythms, and UK garage–influenced grooves with clipped staccato synth chords, bright cowbell accents, and layered vocal harmonies. 《OMG》 surged in popularity on TikTok and climbed to number 10 on the Billboard Global 200, number 7 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, and number 2 on South Korea’s Circle Digital Chart, while reaching number one in Singapore and topping Billboard’s Hits of the World charts in South Korea, Taiwan, and Vietnam. Praised for its lyrical charm and addictive production, the song was named one of the best K-pop releases of 2023 by NME and Billboard. Its music video, inspired by Park Chan-wook’s 2006 film I’m a Cyborg, But That’s OK, portrays the members experiencing distinct delusions and thematically connects to “Ditto” through shared motifs and styling. NewJeans promoted the track across Korean music programs, global festivals, and award stages, earning platinum streaming certifications from the Recording Industry Association of Japan and the Korea Music Content Association. 《OMG》 went on to win Best Song at the 33rd Seoul Music Awards and Song of the Year at the Japan Gold Disc Awards, and it received a nomination for Top Global K-Pop Song at the 2023 Billboard Music Awards.
