Ko Ko Bop - EXO // Cover by Phyllis Lim



"Ko Ko Bop" is the lead single from Korean boy group, EXO's 4th studio album, "THE WAR". It's an energetic reggae pop song with a rhythmic harmony of rhythmic reggae and heavy bass sounds. 

On the track, EXO sings about how to "let your body move" as it wants and dance together on the night before the inevitable war, thus, symbolizing living a happy life before facing one's daily struggle. 

Also, the title "Ko Ko Bop" is a combination of words "Ko Ko" which means fun and "Bop" which means dancing according to music. Thus means, "to dance with rhythm".

The music video for the track features eight members of the group excluding member, Lay who is continuing his solo work in China.

One of the music albums that I've been really looking forward on 2017. This album is seriously one of the biggest hits of the year! It was super lit! Reggae and EDM elements that will definitely make you feel so fresh and new, somethings that you've never heard from EXO before.

I decided to cover a song from the 4th album before the repackaged album. I was seriously super excited while cover this song! The lyrics, the pronunciations, especially the raps were driving me crazy! CHANYEOL and SEHUN's parts were the hardest, the raps were like crazy! I've worked so hard in this song, from the lyrics learning, recording over and over again and glad that I'm satisfied with the results. I hope that I can try out more songs from different languages and more challenging, as well as I hope that my Korean pronunciations are getting better day by day! I just want to share with you my favourite song in the album "THE WAR", here it is, "Ko Ko Bop". We going Ko Ko Bop! WE ARE ONE. Can't wait for the repackaged album! :)

Please show me your love and support, give me a thumbs up, share and subscribe! More music covers coming soon! :)

Love, PLSY.

Shimmie shimmie Ko Ko Bop I think I like it
Don’t be nervous, don’t be shy
I’m entering into your dizzy heart
As if I’m familiar, I’ll softly spread inside

Ah woo it’s a silent night
Ah woo it’s a night for you
I can’t hold back, I’m falling
I’m drunk from your body

Forget the typical me that you’ve known
My hidden instincts shimmie up

It goes down down baby
Trust your body
It goes down down baby
To the rhythm and shout
Oh oh oh we are oh oh oh
We going Ko Ko Bop

Shimmie shimmie Ko Ko Bop I think I like it
Little by little down down, don’t be shy
No matter what anyone says, don’t listen
Just be beautiful as you are right now
I wish time would stop baby are you down

Ah woo it’s the last night
Ah woo it’s our night
Don’t be nervous and come
Trust all of you with me

The reins are loosening
Just put it down today
Don’t be cautious, shakin’ up

It goes down down baby
Trust your body
It goes down down baby
To the rhythm and shout
Oh oh oh we are oh oh oh

Break it down now
We go down now
Listen

You shine more as the night deepens
Your eyes tell me everything
On this nice night, I want you
I know, it’s ok, let’s start now
It’s about to go go

It goes down down baby
Trust your body
It goes down down baby
To the rhythm and shout
Oh oh oh we are oh oh oh
Going Ko Ko Bop

Down down baby
Whisper in my ear
It goes down down baby
Set my heart on fire
Oh oh oh crazy oh oh oh
Going Ko Ko Bop
