Background and release

On July 22, NewJeans released the music video for "Attention" as a surprise release, without previously revealing the members' identities or the group concept. [1] [2] [3] The choreography video was released on the same day, and followed swiftly by the announcement of the quintet's debut self-titled extended play (EP), which was confirmed to contain four tracks, including two additional singles.

Composition

With a length of two minutes and 58 seconds, [5] "Attention" was described as having "a groovy je ne sais quoi highlighted by a bustling beat" and " key changes that jump between major and minor which keeps its early 2000s R&B-influenced instrumentation minimal". [6] NewJeans member Danielle participated in writing lyrics for the track. [7]
