"Jopping" is the debut single by South Korean pop group SuperM.[1][2][3][4][5] It was released on October 4, 2019 as the first single from the eponymous debut extended play by SM Entertainment and Capitol Records.[6][7]

Composition and lyrics

"Jopping", a combination of words jumping and popping, is the lead track off SuperM’s self-titled debut EP. The song features heavy electro-pop influences with references to brit-pop sounds. The song uses cinematic-style horns and a groovy beat. A fusion of pop-rock, R&B, and hip-hop genres can be heard in the vocal and rap talents of each member.[8][9]

Music video

Filmed in the UAE desert and Dubai’s urban jungle, the futuristic video features supercars and bikes in action, while a helicopter sits pretty in the background. The Meydan Bridge, Business Bay and Sheikh Zayed Road’s famous skyline are also spotted on ‘Jopping’ video at one point, while Al Khail Road and the deserted landscape of Ras Al Khor also features in the 4.44 long video.[10]

Live performances

The group performed "Jopping" for the first time on a showcase at the Capitol Records building in Los Angeles on October 5, 2019.[11] On October 9, 2019 the group made their American TV debut on The Ellen DeGeneres Show performing the song.[12] On February 11, 2020 the group performed the song on Jimmy Kimmel Live!.[13]
