Background and release

Originally titled "God's Menu", "Super Bowl" was written at the same time as " God's Menu"—both depict the cooking concept—and become one of the candidates for the lead single of Stray Kids' first studio album Go Live (2020), which they eventually chose "God's Menu". [1] Three years later, on April 28, 2023, The group's third Korean-language studio album 5-Star was announced via a trailer, set to be released on June 2. [2] The album's Solar System-styled track listing was posted two days later. Out of 12 songs, "Super Bowl" appears as the fourth track. [3] The title "Super Bowl" referred to the American football championship game of the same name. [1]

Composition

"Super Bowl" is a techno track, [7] written by 3Racha—an in-house production team of Stray Kids members Bang Chan, Changbin, and Han—and co-written lyrics by bandmate Felix and co-composed by Zack Djurich. The song compares Stray Kids' music to dishes of food, [1] including whispering in a manner similar to ASMR. [8]

Music video

An accompanying music video for the Japanese version of "Super Bowl" premiered on August 10, 2023, in conjunction with the single release. It was directed Jeong Nu-ri.
