K-pop artist Rocky has made his comeback with the emotional R&B single ‘BA BA BYE,’ released on June 18 at 6 PM KST on major streaming platforms. This digital single marks a distinct departure from his previous works, delivering a more melancholic and introspective visual and soundscape.
Rocky personally took part in composing and writing ‘BA BA BYE,’ infusing it with raw emotions of an unwanted farewell. Though the lyrics depict a seemingly cool goodbye, the lingering sorrow remains. The medium-tempo R&B track features warm, dreamy guitar sounds complemented by a modern hip-hop beat, highlighting Rocky’s producing skills and captivating vocals.
To bring out the song’s sentimental depth, Rocky paid meticulous attention to emotional expressions. His tousled hair and distant gaze contrast sharply with his previous releases like ‘Lucky Rocky’ and ‘Jealousy,’ amplifying the song’s forlorn atmosphere. ‘This song is a new challenge for me and an opportunity for musical growth,’ Rocky stated confidently.
The anticipation for the music video is also high. Besides displaying his refined music production, Rocky’s emotive acting in the video has caught fans’ attention. Even before the release, teaser clips sparked excitement among his audience.
Following this release, Rocky is set to embark on more activities, including his upcoming ‘2025 Japan Tour – ROCK MY WORLD’ on June 20 in Tokyo and June 23 in Osaka, where he will connect with fans in person. Excitement for his performances and future musical endeavors continues to build.
With ‘BA BA BYE,’ Rocky introduces a fresh breeze into the K-pop scene while showcasing his artistic evolution. Fans eagerly anticipate what new sides he will reveal through this latest chapter of his career.
