‘Rock With You’: Seventeen drop sultry music video as they get 1.4 million pre-orders

K-pop group Seventeen drop 'Attacca' album and its title track 'Rock With You'

When it comes to duality, no one can beat Seventeen. The popular K-pop boy group had taken a fun and bright route for their summer release of the romantic album ‘Your Choice’ which was all about young love. It was part of their newest project ‘Power of Love’ which is to explore different kinds of love. Well, it looks like they are continuing the theme with their latest album ‘Attacca’ and its title track ‘Rock With You’. However, the concept of this comeback is quite different from ‘Your Choice’ from the sultry and rock-tinged concept photos to the funky arrangement of ‘Rock With You’.

Right before the release, Seventeen was trending for several reasons from their dashing visuals at the press conference for the album to a hilarious typo. A media page at the conference accidentally reported that the K-pop boy group had crossed 4.1 million pre-orders that had fans and non-fans shocked. They ended up trending it only for the page to correct themselves and reveal that it was a typo and they meant to say that Seventeen had 1.4 million pre-orders. Nevertheless, this is an impressive feat that Carats (the fandom) are celebrating.

Seventeen drop music video for 'Rock With You'

The ‘Rock With You’ music video starts off with Joshua on top of a traffic signal as the guitar builds and we end up diving into the rock song. The boys look stylish in leather, piercings and grunge plaid outfits as they sing about how they’d go to great lengths for their love like writing a song to express their feelings. The upbeat song has an equally fun choreography as Seungkwan and Jun lead the dance during the chorus. Fans were also happy to see Jun and The8 aka Minghao in the music video as they are in China at the moment and will not be able to join Seventeen for album promotions.

The comeback also happens to be an instant success as ‘Rock With You’ debuted at #1 on Bugs just 30 minutes after its release. The title track also debuted at #11 and #12 on MelOn and Genie and are bound to climb even higher. It should be noted that the song was also #1 on MelOn’s 5-Minute Chart, 15 minutes after its release. All of the other tracks of ‘Attacca’ have also debuted in the top 100 of MelOn. Even the music video of ‘Rock With You’, which is currently trending, has 1 million YouTube views an hour and a half after the release.
