"Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" (Hangul: 뚜두뚜두, stylized in all caps) is a song recorded by South Korean girl group Black Pink, released on June 15, 2018 by YG Entertainment as the lead single for their Korean debut extended play Square Up.[1]

Composition

"Ddu-Du-Ddu-Du" is primarily written in the key of E minor while borrowing some notes from the E Phrygian scale at 140 beats per minute, common time. It uses the notes from E Aeolian and Phrygian scale throughout the whole song. The song starts with E minor for intro and the verse until it modulates to the relative key of G Major for the pre-chorus. It follows the chord progression of I - ii7 - vi7 - IV before introducing the hook. The bridge section switches back to E minor with the progression of VI - i for 16 bars while every chord lasts for 2 bars.

The song is described by Billboard, as a "fierce hip-pop track overflowing with charisma"[1] which "features a prominent trap beat".[1] Forbes noted, the song has "combining crisp trap beats, breezy synth hooks and infectious vocal melodies."[2] It was written and produced by Teddy and co-produced by Bekuh Boom, 24 and R.Tee.
