Composition edit

"Violeta" is a pop track with tropical house beats and a future bass intro, inspired by the story "The Happy Prince" lyrically.[1][4] It is described by Jeff Benjamin of Billboard as having "a color and floral theme as the ladies try to conjure and coax a lover into opening up to them like a flower on the verge of blooming".[5] It offers a more uptempo and choreography-focused than the previous Korean song "La Vie en Rose". Jack Wannan of LWOS Life praised the song as "[an] amazing production".[6]

Commercial performance edit

In South Korea the song peaked at number 18. On the K-Pop Hot 100 the song peaked at number five making it the group's highest charting song on the chart. On the US World chart the song peaked at number 8 becoming their second top 10 hit. Despite being a Korean single the song was successful in Japan too peaking at number 13 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100.
