Dreamcatcher's comeback single 'Boca' an instant hit, fans call it 'the best song of the year'

The group have made quite the splash in the short time since they debuted in 2017, and they've taken their sound to new heights on 'Boca'

K-pop girl group Dreamcatcher is all set to drop their fifth EP, 'Dystopia: Lose Myself', on Monday, August 17, which follows their first studio album 'Dystopia: The Tree of Language' that released earlier this year. Along with the album, the group premiered the music video for their new single, 'Boca'.

Debuting under Happy Face Entertainment in 2017 with the single album 'Nightmare', Dreamcatcher is comprised of seven members: Jiu, Sua, Siyeon, Handong, Yoohyeon, Dami, and Gahyeon. While Handong and Gahyeon were added to the lineup in 2016, the remaining members previously performed under the name MINX, who debuted in 2014 with the single 'Why Did You Come to My Home?' Dreamcatcher's first album 'Dystopia: The Tree of Language' was accompanied by the EDM song 'Scream' and its music video, their first release with seven members, though they frequently performed sans Handong, who was tied-up with her appearances on the Chinese Idol-producing show 'Youth With You'.

Since their album, the group has kept busy with other projects, including participating on the song 'Be The Future' alongside IN2IT and AleXa. Supported by UNESCO's Global Education Coalition, the song promoted good hygiene practices, part of the larger campaign to raise awareness around the Covid-19 pandemic, and expressed gratitude to frontline workers and teachers. An accompanying music video followed soon after. The group also dropped the song 'R.o.S.E BLUE' later in July for the soundtrack of the mobile game 'Girl Cafe Gun'. And outside of new music, the group also held their first-ever online concert the same month, before revealing the teaser schedule for their new EP, 'Dystopia: Lose Myself'. And along with the EP, the group dropped a music video for the track 'Boca' and judging by the fan reactions, it's a hit.

"HOW ARE WRJFFFWBCFON NOWBGTHAT THIS FIBS LITERALLY GHE BDST SONG OF THW AYDr ifjKKKKKJ," tweeted one fan, and if you didn't quite catch that, it translates to 'This is literally the best song of the year." Another fan shared, "BOCA'S ON REPEAT HERE HSHSHSH," and as several fans predicted 'Song of the Year' awards, one fan stated, "Afshjskdldl Kim Bora supremacy!!!!!"

Apart from all the seven members being praised for their visuals, the rap line appears to be getting all the love this comeback. One fan mused, "IDK IF DAMI'S OR GAHYEON'S RAP MADE MY JAW DROP MORE," while another said, "Dami and Gahyeon's rap part is so good wtf they're my bias wreckers this comeback."

Some fans shared more in-depth observations for why Gahyeon was wrecking their bias list, including one that tweeted, "Gahyeon improvement charisma and confidence shot up to the sky I didn’t see someone improve this much in da industry like excuse mee! You want me ded?!"

Overall, the song has evidently lived up to the expectations of fans. Check out the video for 'Boca' below.
