Tempo - EXO // Cover by Phyllis Lim

The title song "Tempo" from the 5th album "Don't Mess Up My Tempo" is a hip-hop dance song with an energetic bass line, rhythmic drum, and a fresh acapella composition.

Lyrically EXO compares, their love interest to the melody of music, and warn others not to interfere with their unique tempo.

A Chinese Version, featuring vocals by Lay, is also included in the album.

Celebrating EXO's "Tempo" hit 100M views on YouTube recently, decided to cover this! Who's your favourite in this era? Mine are Sehun and Lay! Don't Mess Up My Tempo! 🏍🏍🏍

XOXO,

어디에도 없을 리듬에 맞춰 one, two, three uh

Don’t mess up my tempo

멈출 수 없는 이끌림 oh

매혹적인 넌 lovely

틈 없이 좁혀진 거리

불규칙해지는 heartbeat

잠시 눈을 감아 trust me (woo hoo)

Every road we walk on is a red carpet and a runway

The way you walk is so unique

So that you won’t falter anymore

So that no one can take you away

So that no one will be able to touch you

I will protect you from beside you
