"Dumdi Dumdi" (Korean: 덤디덤디; RR: Deomdi Deomdi, stylized as "DUMDi DUMDi") is a song recorded by South Korean girl group (G)I-dle, released on August 3, 2020, by Cube Entertainment and Republic Records as the lead single of the group's single album of the same name.[1][2] It was written by member Soyeon, who also produced the song alongside Pop Time who has produced many of Zico and Block B's songs.
"Dumdi Dumdi" was described as (G)I-dle's style of a summer dance song.[3] Musically, it is a tropical-based rhythm with moombahton song featuring lyrics that evoke 'hot, cold, passion and excitement' that are reminiscent of summer and youth.[4] An accompanying music video for the song was uploaded onto (G)I-dle's YouTube channel simultaneously with the single's release. Upon release, the music video broke their own record amassing 17.6 million views in 24 hours.[citation needed] "Dumdi Dumdi" peaked at number eight on the Gaon Digital Chart the week of August 23, nearly a month after release.[5]
Background and release
[edit](G)I-dle took a shift in their style of music, from dark and sinister "Hann (Alone)" in summer 2018, '90s-inspired hip-hop cut "Uh-Oh" in summer 2019, and charismatic, intense and dreamy for "Oh My God",[6] to a vibrant and youthful summer song "Dumdi Dumdi" for summer 2020.[7] The single was released in Korean, Japanese and Mandarin language. This is (G)I-dle's first song to feature a Chinese version in their discography.[8] Member Yuqi was credited for "Dumdi Dumdi" Chinese lyrics and guide alongside Z King.[9] Soyeon revealed that she received inspiration for the track from the 2016 Disney's Zootopia.[10] The members of the group participated in visual concept planning such as photos of hair and makeup, and styling that gives a vintage feeling for (G)I-dle type of summer.[11] Hours after the release, Soyeon went live on V Live. She revealed the meaning of "Dumdi Dumdi":
"Dumdi Dumdi meaning is youth. I wanted to record who I am in this time, what I can do only at this age. Youth, I think I am enjoying my youth. I especially enjoy my work when everything blazes up [passion]. I think you guys feel this kind of heat and coldness in whatever you are doing too. Whether that be work or love [...] Youth is when even in the most burning passion, the sharp wind blows from time to time. A good feeling that can cool things down or heat things up even more.
On November 25, a special section on MBC M's Show Champion aired where Soyeon explained the recording process of "Dumdi Dumdi". She revealed that the song was recorded 7 times and the word 'Dumdi Dumdi' were to replicate sounds of drums and a beating heart.[13] A Chinese version of the song is available only on NetEase Music.[8] A Japanese version of the song was released on August 26, 2020, for their 2nd Japanese EP Oh My God.[14]
Composition and lyrics
[edit]The song is in the key of E major, 123 bpm with a running time of 3:30 minutes.[15] "Dumdi Dumdi" is an upbeat dance pop track song with tropical drum beats and a strong moombahton rhythm with booming percussion.[16] The song has light latin pop influences and a subtle incorporation of the dependably "catchy" whistle hook and the onomatopoeic refrain of "Dumdi Dumdi".[17][18]
Soyeon explained several specific lyrics on August 3, V Live. "With the hot sun I’m a little crazy / My cheeks are easily flushed", explaining that the sun was an excuse for her to go crazy — "I’m going crazy because of my passion"; "And then I feel dizzy and flushed / Like swimming I start dancing", explaining that she wanted to express something like, "did this person drink?", "kind of dizzy", “so exciting”; "The wind makes my heart beat / The waves make my heart pound", explaining that her youth is like the summer and the wind and waves are the songs; "Like this I want to close my eyes tightly / Forever even if the sun rises", she commented that she wants to live her youth passionately until 100; "When the moon falls asleep and the summer is cooled down / Sing to me the song of the hot time", explaining that she wanted to tell her fans – "when you feel like your passion is cooling off, you have to listen to this song."[12]

"Dumdi Dumdi" was met with generally positive reviews from music critics. Jeff Benjamin writing for Forbes wrote that the song is flirty and fun cut boasting booming percussion, and praised Soyeon for trying out vocal manipulation effects while "simultaneously spitting some of her fastest rhymes to date on the second verse."[17] One Music PH called the song "an unpredictable and undeniable genre-breaking anthem."[21] In his review for the Clash, Robin Murray described "Dumdi Dumdi" as "immaculate pop banger that walks in its own lane."[22] Lee Nam-kyung of the MBN Star concluded that "(G)I-dle were able to highlight their own summer in their hip and unique charm, and show the aspect of a concept craftsman that fits the trend."[23]
IZM writer Son Kiho opined "the song expresses youthful passion by borrowing the heat of summer, emphasizing the refreshing feeling with the sound of the waves, voice samples, and the moombahton rhythm with a cheerful percussion on the front. Each element of the arrangement faithfully captures the sense of the season by adding the whistle of the chorus, but it is somewhat familiar. The aim of the summer song dilutes the attractiveness of (G)I-dle, who broke away from the existing formula and raised momentum with an independent move, and left a distinctive result as the weight was removed for a more friendly approach."[20] Jason Lipshutz of Billboard deemed the song "have the potential for a successful viral trend – that hook sounds designed to thrive on TikTok".[24] Hong Seon-hwa from Biz Entertainment wrote in his article that (G)I-dle "carried on the legacy of summer songs".[25]
