Ahead of their official comeback with their new mini-album TRAVEL, MAMAMOO first unveiled the non-title track ŌĆ£Dingga.ŌĆØ This album has been at the center of the talk as it is the groupŌĆÖs first comeback as a whole group in about a year. ŌĆ£DinggaŌĆØ is a song that fully delivers MAMAMOOŌĆÖs cheerful charm. With a simple but addictive melody and funky sound, the song delivers the message of ŌĆ£letŌĆÖs get through this tough time with excitement and joy.ŌĆØ
Q1. Is there a special reason why you chose to pre-release ŌĆ£DinggaŌĆØ? While working on the new album, there were so many good options for the title song, so we had to think over and over. After much discussion, we chose a song with strong performance as our title song and decided to pre-release ŌĆ£Dingga,ŌĆØ which is easy on the ears, as a cheerful warmup with our MooMoos. ┬Ā Q2. What is the key point in the choreography for ŌĆ£DinggaŌĆØ? It is a song that expresses the desire to play ŌĆ£Dinga DingaŌĆØ together in times when we have to maintain social distancing and live lonely daily lives. Therefore, there is this lyric ŌĆ£Do you want to gather your friends and have a drink/ DrinkŌĆģlikeŌĆģa like aŌĆģlike a fishŌĆØ in the chorus, and at that point, we have the key gesture of pretending to drink together. Also, in theŌĆØ Nanananana/ Dingga DinggaŌĆØ section, there is a movement where you drag your finger on the floor as if youŌĆÖre bored, and it would be great if you follow it as you recall memories of playing childhood games like ŌĆ£hopscotch.ŌĆØ Q3. The concept of ŌĆ£retro funkyŌĆØ is impressive. As the song expresses the desire to play with friends in difficult situations due to social distancing, we wanted to present a fun party in the music video. And on top of that, we planned a newtro concept, including dancing in the roller skating rink, in line with the retro genre. ┬Ā Q4. What is the charm of MAMAMOO that you want to show with this pre-released song? I think ŌĆ£DinggaŌĆØ is a song that illustrates MAMAMOOŌĆÖs exciting and bright charm. We wanted to deliver MAMAMOOŌĆÖs unique energy. We hope that youŌĆÖll look forward to our cheerful images like in ŌĆ£Um Oh Ah Yeh.ŌĆØ ┬Ā Q5. If you give a hint to your new mini-album TRAVEL? With this album, we will present a new music genre that we have never shown before and a spectacular performance that matches it. We have put all our efforts in, so please look forward to it. ┬Ā Source (1)
