Background and release

[edit]

On June 19, 2024, Stray Kids announced their Korean-language ninth extended play, titled Ate, slated for release on July 19, accompanied by a trailer that teased the title for the lead single "Chk Chk Boom".[1] It was confirmed again on the flyer-styled track listing posted on two days later, alongside the "Festival" remix version.[2] The group teased all tracks of the EP, including "Chk Chk Boom", via a mashup video uploaded on July 10.[3] Stray Kids teamed up with YouTube Shorts and launched a dance challenge to promoted the song on July 18, revealing snippet of the song and its choreography.[4]

Composition

[edit]

"Chk Chk Boom" was written by the in-house production team 3Racha (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han), and co-composed by DallasK, Ronnie Icon, and BB Elliot. It is described as a Latin-styled hip-hop track, talking about the "confidence to aim at the desired target more perfectly than anyone else."[5] Alongside Korean and English, the song included Spanish words and Latin music flavor, including rap parts.[6]

Music video

An accompanying music video for "Chk Chk Boom" premiered on July 19, 2024, concurrently with Ate,[7] preceded by two teasers.[8][9] Directed by Bang Jae-yeob,[10] the music video begins with, on the fictional television channel CCB, Australian actor Hugh Jackman in Wolverine costumes being reporting weather news. But the broadcast was interrupted by Canadian-American actor Ryan Reynolds as a news presenter, who has issues with the toilet, making him angrily walking away.[11] Next, Reynolds sits at the desk and reports the "worldwide mysterious phenomena".[12] After the song starts, it was followed by Stray Kids on the disarrayed world with colorful explosions and chaotic backdrops,[13] and performing on rooftops and city streets, etc., in New York City.[14] At the end, the visual shows Reynolds wearing Deadpool costumes along with Stray Kids in the studio; he sheepishly asks the group if the group are looking for an "older, less agile" member, but they respond in the negative.[15]
