Background and release

[edit]

On January 24, 2024, YG Entertainment founder Yang Hyun-suk announced plans for the group to release a mini-album on April 1, followed by a full-length album during the fall of the same year.[1] A follow-up announcement by Yang on May 19 revealed plans to release a pre-release single for the upcoming studio album in early July.[2][3] The single, "Forever", was released on July 1.[4] Filming of music videos in support of the album began on September 23, which was announced on the same day, along with further confirmation of the album's fall release.[5]

On October 8, YG Entertainment officially announced Babymonster's first studio album, titled Drip. The track listing was released on the same day, with the single of the same name announced as the album's lead single.[6] Since the announcement, previews of the first verses of two tracks were released each week preceding the album release: "Clik Clak" and "Love, Maybe" on October 11 and 12,[7][8] and "Woke Up in Tokyo" and "Billionaire" on October 18 and 19,[9][10] respectively.

Composition

[edit]

The opening track "Clik Clak" is a minimalistic hip hop song over which all seven members rap with unique styles.[7] The title track, "Drip", is a danceable hip hop track that was co-composed by BigBang member G-Dragon, and the third track, "Love, Maybe", is an intimate ballad with all the members singing over a stripped-back guitar instrumental.[11] This is followed by "Really Like You", which has a '90s hip hop style, and "Billionaire", which is an R&B song with heavy 808 bass and a Y2K vibe. The seventh track, "Woke Up in Tokyo", is a hip hop song performed by the group's main rappers, Ruka and Asa.[12] The pre-release single "Forever" is an upbeat synth-pop song with a bright summer vibe,[13][14] and the album ends with a remix of "Batter Up" that was performed as an encore during their fanmeeting tour See You There (2024) as a bonus track.[12]
