Power Up by Red Velvet Song Info
“Power Up” is the lead single from Red Velvet’s 6th mini album and summer mini album, Summer Magic. It is a fresh electro-pop song with peppy chiptune quirks littered throughout, the song explodes with each chorus croon of “ey-yey-ey-yey” and the Minion-esque hum of “banana-na-na” and the shouts of “power up!” The verses in between the playful chorus bask in the warmth of the summer and incorporate references to things like cool drinks and not doing anything all day, creating a tune built to reflect the lazy days of the season. There’s even a cute nod to the group’s fan club, with an inclusion of the English-language line “level up,” which is similar to how Red Velvet’s ReVeluv is pronounced in Korean. Red Velvet’s “Power Up” to their mini-album ‘Summer Magic’ has hit #1 on Melon, Genie, Bugs, Olleh, Mnet, Naver, and Soribada’s real-time chart as of 9AM KST. The mini-album is also ranked #1 on physical album charts such as Yes24, Hottracks, and Kyobo.
