Background

Perfect Velvet

On October 30, 2017, news about the group's upcoming

comeback appeared on various South Korean news sites, which was then confirmed by their company, SM Entertainment.[4] On November 8, SM revealed that Red Velvet's upcoming album would be titled Perfect Velvet and would contain nine tracks, with the lead single titled "Peek-a-Boo".[5] The name of the album references the "velvet" half of the group's concept which stems from the meaning behind their name, where "red" is their vivid and bold image while "velvet" stands for their softer and more mature side.[6] In an interview with Xports News on November 8, SM stated that they intend to show "an upgraded version" of the group's "velvet" concept.[7]

The group admitted to being unnerved by the success of their last single, "Red Flavor", as they were preparing for the album which the members participated in making through song selection. Group leader Irene told Billboard that unlike their past two releases earlier that year, they wanted to show an upgraded version of what they can show of their "velvet" image. Joy likewise expressed that she desired to showcase diverse concepts.[8] Despite their concerns about the drastic change from their previous comeback, member Wendy stated that she thought it was "good timing" for the album to be released before the year ended as it "can show the perfect Red Velvet performances and songs".[9]

SM announced on January 23, 2018, that Red Velvet will be releasing a repackage of the album titled The Perfect Red Velvet with "Bad Boy" as its lead single.[11][12] "Bad Boy" was described as a song with a "sexy" or "girl crush" concept by South Korean news sites, which has never been done before by the group. On January 24, it was reported that the repackage of Perfect Velvet will be released on January 29 with three new songs, including "Bad Boy".[13][14]

Composition

Perfect Velvet has nine songs which features mostly

trop house elements underneath the overarching quirky pop vibe, and is driven by a deep bass drumline, scratchy synths, and metallic beats" which also features "a variety of diverse, playful instrumental elements nestled beneath the main melody".

It's a remake of "I Deserve More" by Tenin, released as part of her eponymous debut studio album in 2011. The lyrics for Red Velvet's Korean version was written by Lee Seu-ran of Jam Factory paired with entirely new melodies by Deez, Ylva Dimberg and was produced by The Stereotypes.[21][22] "My Second Date" was characterized as a mid-tempo pop track, composed by James Wong, Sidnie Tipton and Sophie Stern with lyrics by Jeon Gan-di.[23]
