Of the track, Music and Album Producer, Composer, and Lyricist Helen Park notes: "This number describes the tension between people that couldn't be more opposite from each other -- who are also oppressed under the same power, America. My goal with this song was to bring out this tension and duality without one overpowering the other."

Available for preorder and presave now, KPOP - Original Broadway Cast Recording was produced by Helen Park, Matt Stein, and Harvey Mason Jr. (NCT 127, Red Velvet), and features music, lyrics, music production and arrangements by Park and music and lyrics by Max Vernon. The first-ever Broadway musical to celebrate Korean culture with Korean, Korean-American, and API representation on and off-stage, the album features a star-studded cast of performers from the world of K-pop, including chart-topping superstar and lead Luna, BoHyung (from the K-pop group SPICA and half of the duo KEEMBO), Min (from the K-pop group Miss A), Kevin Woo (from the K-pop group U-KISS), and more.
