Composition

"Boum Boum Boum" is a Latin-influenced song that is "about Mika and his partner in love loving to make 'the act of love' everywhere they go!"[1]

Critical reception

Direct Lyrics author Kevipod wrote "Boum Boum Boum" "has three great features: An easy chorus, cute French and summer vibe! It’s not as INSTANT as 'Elle me dit’ but I don't see any difficulty for it to become smash in France or Belgium this summer. For those non French-speaking, let us hope Mika doesn't take too long to bring us that English single."[1]

gollark: Probably not BOTH for those two.
gollark: Maybe people don't have too many æons around.
gollark: And, given its age, PHP-based thingy, and constant bugginess, probably has messy code by now.
gollark: I mean, DC is hardly a paragon of stability.
gollark: I mean, the TJ of 09 did actually pay attention to the hub, eventually.
