Background and release
editIn Stray Kids' interview with Untold Originals in February 2024, I.N first revealed that he would like to try a "Latin music interpreted in [the group's] colors."[1] On June 19, 2024, Stray Kids announced their Korean-language ninth extended play, titled Ate, slated for release on July 19, accompanied by a trailer that teased the title for the lead single "Chk Chk Boom".[2] It was confirmed again on the flyer-styled track listing posted on two days later, alongside the "Festival" remix version.[3] The group teased all tracks of the EP, including "Chk Chk Boom", via a mashup video uploaded on July 10.[4] Stray Kids teamed up with YouTube Shorts and launched a dance challenge to promoted the song on July 18, unveiling snippet of the song and its choreography.[5] The remix EP, including the original, "Deadeye", "Heatwave", and instrumental versions, was released on July 22.[6]
Composition
edit"Chk Chk Boom" was written by the in-house production team 3Racha (Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han), and co-composed by DallasK, Ronnie Icon, and BB Elliot. It is described as a Latin-styled hip-hop and reggaeton track,[7] talking about the "confidence to aim at the desired target more perfectly than anyone else."[8] Alongside Korean and English, the song included Spanish words and Latin music flavor, including rap parts.[9]
Commercial performance
editIn South Korea, "Chk Chk Boom" entered the Circle Digital Chart at number 25 with only three days of availability in its tracking period dated July 14–20, 2024,[10] ascending to number 23 two weeks later.[11] For its component charts, the song peaked at number 93 on the Streaming Chart,[12] number 35 on the BGM Chart,[13] and topped the Download Chart for two consecutive weeks.[14][15] In the United Kingdom, "Chk Chk Boom" became Stray Kids' first top-40 single on the UK Singles Chart at number 30,[16] and stayed on the chart for three weeks.[17]
The song landed at number 49 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming the group's first top 50 on the chart, and breaking the previous highest peak at number 90 of "Lalalala" and "Lose My Breath".[18] It sold 10,400 copies, peaking at number three on the Digital Songs Sales and number one on the World Digital Song Sales,[19] the latter for two-consecutive weeks.[20] The song also arrived at number 55 on the Canadian Hot 100, the highest peak at that time.[21] Globally, "Chk Chk Boom" debuted at number ten on the Billboard Global 200 and number four on the Global Excl.

Music video
editAn accompanying music video for "Chk Chk Boom", directed by Bang Jae-yeob,[23] premiered on July 19, 2024, concurrently with Ate,[24] and preceded by two teasers.[25][26] It cameos Canadian-American actor Ryan Reynolds and Australian actor Hugh Jackman.[27] On the release day, an interview between Bang Chan, Felix, Reynolds and Jackman was uploaded by Marvel Korea's YouTube channel. The video gives insight into how the music video collaboration happened and their reaction to the cameos.[28]
The music video begins with, on the fictional television channel CCB, Jackman as Wolverine reporting weather news, but the broadcast was interrupted by Reynolds as a news presenter, who has issues with the toilet paper, making Wolverine angrily walking away.[29] Next, Reynolds sits at the desk and reports the "worldwide mysterious phenomena".[30] Followed the song starting, it shows Stray Kids in the disarrayed world with colorful explosions and chaotic backdrops,[31] and performing at various places in New York City, such as rooftops and city street.[32] At the end, the visual shows Reynolds wearing Deadpool costume and Stray Kids in the studio. He sheepishly asks Stray Kids if the group are looking for an "older" and "less agile" member, but they respond in the negative.[33]
