Musically, "Fantastic Baby" has been described as an EDM track that features a "boisterous" and "genre-blending sound".[8] The International Business Times referred to the song's composition as a "beautiful blend of electropop and EDM-laced with an anarchistic theme."[5] Composed in the key of B minor, the song carries a tempo of 130 beats per minute, and has a runtime of 3:52.[11] "Fantastic Baby" incorporates "bright digital thumps and soaring synth wails" with infectious hooks such as "Wow, fantastic baby", "I wanna da-da-da-da-dance" and "boom shakalaka" to create a vibrant, sonic and dynamic electronic and hip hop track.[9] Tamar Herman of Billboard magazine contrasted the song's musicality from much of the band's previous works, which consisted of mainly old-school R&B and hip-hop hits which have gradually evolved into more sentimental numbers and upbeat dance tunes, and referred to "Fantastic Baby" as a "new era that poised the group as one of Korea’s most ambitious acts".[10] NME compared the song's signature catchphrase "boom shakalaka" to music that of 1960s band Sly and the Family Stone.[12]

Kang added that the song served as "a kind of turning point in the history of Big Bang and K-pop": "Both the music and philosophy of the song were ahead of their time".[16]

Music video

Production and synopsis

A still from the music video, displaying the five members being crowned kings upon thrones.

The music video for "Fantastic Baby" was uploaded to BigBang's official YouTube channel on March 7, 2012,[10] and was directed by Seo Hyun-seung.[54] The video was described as a "visual stunner",[55] and captures the fight for freedom from oppression.[56] The members are seen wearing futuristic helmets, metal shoulder embellishments and jewelled crowns, among other accessories, while sporting dark make-up.[56] The background dancers act as "rebels colliding with oppressors", wearing masks, spraying wires and waves of smoke around sets containing wreckage, while dancing saja-nori (the Korean lion dance).[55][56] BigBang released a Japanese version of the music video focused on the band's scenes while they are in a warehouse setting. Some individual scenes were removed and there are no extras in this version.[57]

The music video begins with scenes depicting a revolution, with the black-masked people representing those who capitalized on past controversies and tried to discourage, discredit and ultimately disband BigBang, whereas the white-masked people symbolize the V.I.P.s, the band's fans, who continue to defend and protect them despite everything.

Napoleon Bonaparte are featured, which serves to represent BigBang's status as K-pop's musical revolutionaries. Daesung is also shown to be bound in chains, representing the emotional turmoil he went through following a car accident that he was involved in a year prior.[59] The images of a frozen Taeyang, a scarred Seungri, and a seemingly silenced G-Dragon, portray the number of publicity blows the members have faced in the past year.[58] The video concludes with a giant dance party and the five members being crowned kings upon thrones.[10]

Reception

Kevin Perry from NME compared the band members' outfits in the music video to those of

The Vancouver Sun felt that "it is easily one of the most colourfully twisted pop videos we've seen in a while, combining RPG style art, riot gear, steampunk elements and street pop swagger."[61] Tamar Herman of Billboard praised the video's "stimulating visual feast" when "promoting music as a form of rebellion."[10] The Guardian named "Fantastic Baby" the best K-pop music video of 2012, with Peter Robinson asserting that the "supremely demented" video "establishes global equilibrium."[20] The music video for "Fantastic Baby" won Best Dance Video at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards Japan and won the Video of the Year award at the 2014 World Music Awards.[62]

In March 2014, the official music video for "Fantastic Baby" on YouTube surpassed 100 million views, making it the fourth Korean video to do so, after Psy's "Gangnam Style" (2012), "Gentleman" (2013), and Girls' Generation's "Gee" (2009), as well as the first by a Korean boy band.[63] The music video later became the first from a K-pop group to reach 200 million and 300 million views on the platform in January 2016 and June 2017, respectively.[64] The music video then become their first to hit 400 million in June 2019.[64] It became their second music video to hit 500 million in January 2022.[64]
