Watch “DDI RO RI” MV Here:
The title of “DDI RO RI” is an onomatopoeic nod to one of the track’s most stunning features: the iconic organ blast of Johann Sebastian Bach’s Toccata and Fugue in D minor. That timeless explosion of gothic grandeur is paired with a Brooklyn drill beat and MEOVV’s enthralling vocals to create a moment that’s both high class and high impact. When they declare “You know I’m the blueprint, I be on that new sh*t,” there’s no room for doubt. The opulence of the classical music juxtaposed against modern sounds and situations builds relentless tension, underscoring the group’s visceral ambition. As they sing in the cut’s opening bars, “What’s the deal? This is the start, I feel arenas / Shout my name from Korea out to Ibiza.”
“DDI RO RI” was co-written by MEOVV members NARIN, ELLA, and GAWON alongside THEBLACKLABEL founder TEDDY with Kaine, lil aaron, KUSH, Vince, Dominsuk, Zikai, and DCF, and writer-producers 24 and Dominsuk. NARIN, ELLA, and GAWON also co-wrote “In My Hands,” while NARIN and GAWON co-wrote “Favorite Song” and “Revenge.”
On THE 2nd EP ALBUM [BITE NOW], MEOVV sink their teeth into fans with an array of moods and modes that combine to form the group’s utterly unique musical universe. “Hit ’Em” is dark and propulsive, unable to be ignored. “In My Hands” combines a huge EDM sound with emotive vocals and an ecstatic hook: “Got the world in my hands.” The aptly titled “Favorite Song” finds strength in restraint, carving out a guitar-led soul-pop groove. And the closer “Revenge” is a lush and eerily dreamy expression of alt-R&B that captures the conflict of a relationship that can’t be escaped even when all parties know it’s not going to end well.
THE 2nd EP ALBUM [BITE NOW] offers a full-fledged expansion of the vision MEOVV unveiled on their inaugural EP MY EYES OPEN VVIDE, a sonic coming-of-age story that traced the quintet’s journey as they opened their eyes to the world, broke down boundaries, and began actualizing their dreams. With highlights including their debut single “MEOW,” which launched in the Top 10 of Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart, and “HANDS UP,” which earned MEOVV their first-ever music show win on Mnet’s M Countdown — not to mention “TOXIC” and “BODY” — the six-track set freely breaks down barriers between genres, moods, languages, and vocal styles to capture MEOVV’s core duality: both razor sharp and effortlessly smooth.
With THE 2nd EP ALBUM [BITE NOW], MEOVV convey undeniable urgency — rather than waiting for the right moment, this collection of songs presents the members boldly creating a new paradigm on their own timing.
