About the Song

γ€ŠHype Boy》 stands out as one of NewJeans’ most defining early tracks, weaving a dreamy and nostalgic soundscape that blends future bass, pop, and subtle touches of R&B, electronic, and moombahton. Released as part of their 2022 debut EP, the song arrived with four distinct music videosβ€”each spotlighting a different member’s storylineβ€”showcasing the group’s unique visual and narrative approach. Produced by 250 and Ylva Dimberg, with lyrics by Dimberg, Gigi, and Hanni, the track channels the late ’90s and early 2000s through its airy synths and emotional undercurrents. Widely acclaimed, it was praised for its immersive production and refreshing charm, earning the title of 2022’s best K-pop song from NME, while NPR and Rolling Stone included it in their year-end lists. Commercially, it became one of NewJeans’ biggest hits, peaking at number two on the Circle Digital Chart and charting across Asia, ultimately receiving double platinum certification in Korea and platinum in Japan. It also made history on the Billboard Global 200, setting a new longevity record for a K-pop girl group by remaining on the chart for 42 weeks.
