NCT WISH is back with their latest pre-release single, "Dunk Shot," now available across all major streaming platforms. As the lead single from their highly anticipated first mini album Steady, this track sets the stage for a powerful new chapter in their music journey.
"Dunk Shot" is a high-energy dance track featuring snappy snare beats reminiscent of basketball dribbling, paired with sleek synths that add a modern edge. The lyrics compare the pursuit of dreams to a basketball game, creating a dynamic and uplifting metaphor. With electrifying vocals driving the song, "Dunk Shot" exudes an infectious energy that's impossible to resist.
The accompanying music video elevates the experience with a performance that's as captivating as a live basketball game. NCT WISH effortlessly incorporates basketball-inspired moves into their choreography, amplifying the song’s energetic vibe. Their lively and dynamic stage presence keeps viewers fully engaged, capturing the excitement of both the song and the sport.
Interestingly, this release marks a shift in NCT WISH's promotional strategy. The group, who previously debuted singles like "Songbird" first in Japan before releasing their Korean versions, are flipping the script this time. "Dunk Shot" launches in Korean first, kicking off promotions on home turf before heading to Japan. Despite the title echoing NCT Dream’s earlier work, this "Dunk Shot" brings its own fresh take on 90s-inspired themes, setting it apart from its predecessor.
As fans eagerly await the rest of Steady, "Dunk Shot" offers a thrilling glimpse into what's to come from NCT WISH's first mini album.
