"Bang Bang" is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Ive for their second studio album Revive+. It was released as the album's pre-release single by Starship Entertainment on February 9, 2026.

Background and release

On January 21, 2026, it was reported that Ive would be releasing a pre-release single titled "Bang Bang" for their upcoming album in February 2026, with member Jang Won-young taking part in writing the lyrics.[2] From that day to January 24, "Coming Soon" films were released, which revealed that the pre-release single would be released on February 9.[3][4] The song was confirmed to be titled "Bang Bang" upon the release of a concept film on January 26.[5] On February 2, a short preview of the song was released on TikTok.[6] The music video teaser for the song was released on February 6, followed by teaser photos over the next two days.[7][8] The song was released alongside its music video on February 9.[9]

Composition

"Bang Bang" was written by Seo Ji-eum, Hwang Yu-bin (XYXX), Jang Won-young and Exy, composed by Jack Brady, Jordan Roman, Kristin Carpenter, Sarah Troy and MLite, and arranged by The Wavys.[10] The song is described as EDM and electronic sound-centric with "an impressive Western swing-infused intro". The straight beat and energetic sound structure musically embodies Ive's unique confident attitude.[11]

Commercial performance

The single reached number one on all major South Korean music charts, becoming the group’s sixth release to achieve a perfect-all-kill (PAK) and continuing their record as the girl group with the most PAKs.[12]
