Background

It was announced in June that Chungha will be making her third summer comeback.[2] Music and photo teasers were released weeks before the official released of the single.

Composition

"Snapping" was written by Park Woo-sang. "Snapping" is a Latin-inspired pop song with an intense, seductive number that diverges from Chungha's previous summer singles such as "Love You", a track of "Blooming Blue", dropped in July last year.[3] The lyrics talk about the uncomfortable end of a relationship. Like a magic spell, the snap of a finger is what you need to empty your mind and welcome another new day.

Promotion

"Snapping" had its debut showcase on the day of the release, in Sogang University.[4]

Music video

The music video was released alongside the album and song on June 24, 2019. The music video includes a creation of seductive and tantalizing with dynamic choreography and bright block-colored cinematography. It was directed by Rima Yoon and Dongju Jang.
