I didn't search for this. YT knows i'm looking for this.

The exo song isn't too far away from this demo and I'm happy sm liked this and didn't change it too much

I get it now why SM decided first to gave it to Red Velvet. The demo version fits to Red Velvet, but then SM really change the whole vibe and another level to fit to EXO. Great work! I'm a SM stan here.

i remember that one video of an exol saying "im so tired of this song" then proceeds to sing SHIMMY SHIMMY KOKOBOP I THINK I LIKE IT

this song was originally for red velvet. they wouldve killed this honestly but im glad exo got this song nobody could do it like them

look how she gave credit to everyone in the description.... yeah Melanie Fontana could never.

I miss saying "i'm so sick of this song" then played while dancing like there's no tomorrow

Exo is Iconic...but bruh imagine if SM proceeded this for RV...this would probably the boldest concept the girls would try just in their 3rd yr of career.

i feel like doja cat could sing this song too. totally fits her vibe

I miss Ko Ko Bop Era... :(

Am I the only EXOL who never got sick of Kokobop?

Let's be real, if this song was targeted for the us market it wouldn't be as huge as in korea, this song is literally the most streamed song in melon chart ever.

This song sung by red velvet would have also been a hit

SM really didn't change it much but does anyone else think that is has a totally different vibe?

Everyone talking about EXO and Red Velvet why no one talking about this girl singing her voice is amazing ❣️

can we just appreciate her vocals and rap voice? she is so freakin talented

imagine Seulgi "we go down down baby ", "ah hu" i will die TT

The way I'm trying to imagine red velvet singing this

Holy shit the original female is so good.

Not gonna lie, SM REALLY knows how to alter and perfect a demo to their artists. The demo is already a bop, EXO really just elevated it with their vocals and abilities!

Imagine baekhyun and shaylen singing this version of kokobop together. that would be iconic.

We are tired of this KoKoBop era but once we heard the line “shimmy shimmy KoKoBop...” we all screamed i tHINK I LIKE IT!!! 😭😭💀💀

lyrics: shimmy shimmy ko ko bop i think i like it when it goes down, down dont try and fight it when it hits my system you gon' see me goin' round crazy feelin trippy livin' baby are you down (ah ooh) i am the pilot yeah (ah ooh) so come and ride it yeah fifty-thousand feet and goin higher (yeah yeah) you can never come and kill my vibe (yeah yeah) as i be candy flippin' double dippin' on 'em, own 'em watch me as the koko take me up it go down, down baby (we gonna let it go) it go down, down baby we gonna let it go-o-o we go-o-o so goin ko ko bop (hey) shimmy shimmy ko ko bop i think i like it when it goes down, down dont try and fight it i be flowin' never overdosin' i be up in different realms every minute daily i be killin' baby you should come around (ah ooh) i am the pilot, yeah (ah ooh) so come and ride it, yeah fifty-thousand feet and goin higher (yeah, yeah) you can never come and kill my vibe (yeah, yeah) 'cuz i be candy flippin' double dippin' on 'em, own 'em watch me as the koko take me up it go down, down baby (we gonna let it go) it go down, down baby we gonna let it go-o-o we go-o-o (get dat money) (hey) (g-g-get dat money) (listen) so many flavors i cannot ignore will i do this again?

(now) goin ko ko bop down, down baby (bop, bop) we gonna let it go down down baby (goin down!) we gonna let it go-o-o we go-o-o goin ko ko bop

I can totally hear Seulgi and Wendy singing the chorus.

The instrumental is a bit different imo, the final music by sm is richer in sound and more compact. Thank you so much for producing this BOP!!!!

I love to hear Demos! It's always interesting to hear if a song was already pretty polished in the demo phase, or if it got totally revamped until the "final version" got released. Very interesting to hear all the 'grating' sounds (like 2:15) where already planned from the Start. Thanks for sharing.

스엠노래데모들은 다 원래 빌보드 상위에서 놀아야할 노래들같은데...

Kokobop is literally the song that got me into EXO, and KPOP in general. This song got very popular in the Philippines, heck you can even see elementary students singing to this song.

The people in the comments doesnt know the meaning of the word DEMO 😭😭😭

This version is so chill and smooth, but fun enough to keep you engaged and excited for the next part. And her voice is soooo warm!! No other way to describe it.

You blessed the kpop industry.

oooo the “get that money” before the instrumental break hits DIFFERENT

Literally 99% won't see this, but if you do, god bless you, stay safe and do not give up!

Suddenly came across this, coincidentally today marks Kokobop’s 4th year and it’s still the most streamed song in Melon. JUST ICONIC!

I can hear seulgi and Wendy singing "Down down baby" bruh if rv sang this song it would've been the end for us

You can tell this song was a genuine work of artistry because it does not sound any less than perfect as a demo version, no one was fucking around writing and putting soul into this one.

maybe it is just me but it gives me completely another vibe

Ok, I have a serious question: what's a Ko Ko Bop? Like is it some type of cereal? Or is it like a drug?

Me: scrolling in the comments to look for the lyrics

Everyone talking about rv singing this and me just going : my boys killed it with this one-

Its perfect with woman voice too, no wonder this song was for red velvet at first

EXO 버젼은 뭔가 가벼워서 아쉬웠는데 ... 오히려 Demo 버젼이 무게감 있고 긁는 목소리도 매력적인게 더 좋네요

미친거아녀 너무 좋아

onces: *arguing which one is better twice or Zara's ver.* me as an SM stan: *just enjoying both ver. 'caused im used to it*

PETITION TO GET IT ON SPOTIFY

i totally took kokobop era for granted. yes it was a hundred stages of the same song, but at least there were HUNDRED STAGES.

it still goes down down, baby~

1:57 ...... i kinda like "get that money" more than "break it down now". I really like the demo!!

If Doja, Ari, and Nicki ever collab all together a song like this would be perfect for them.

Verse 1: Shimmie, shimmie, Ko Ko Bop, I think I like it When it goes down down, don't try and fight it When it hits my system you go see me going round Crazy, feeling trippy lately, baby are you down? Verse 2: Ah woo, I am the pilot yeah Ah woo, So come and ride it yeah Fifty thousand feet and going high yeah, yeah You can never come can kill my vibe yeah, yeah Pre-Chorus: Cause I'll be candy flippin', double dippin' on em, own em.

One of EXO's best songs. I'm glad they got this amazing song and truly gave it justice. They killed it with their vocals and moves for this comeback with a great song.

this is what i love in SM, they buy songs, or whatever u call it? they make jobs available for many creative people. i just don't understand those fans who think that their artist is better for creating the music that they sing and bashing most kpop groups for not doing the same... when having different people as composer, writer, producer, director, and performer are more favorable in the economy since it creates more work or labor. thank u so much for this legendary song, i remember how different it is among the songs released that time!!!!

Imagine: Seulgi dancing to ko ko bop... ✨SM please✨

Demos from you are always such good songs in the end. Brought us some of our favorite hits!

Kokobop is legendary cz EXO sang it no one would ever pull it off like exo did EXO is unmatched❤

Glad this song was released in Korea because this isn’t very a western style song and it wouldn’t have gotten this popular.

Now I can't shake the fact that this song was supposed to be Red Velvet's. I cannot imagine it before. But now, wow. They would do too. Not to the extent of EXO though, but they would do this so fine their own version.

2:28 중간에 요요가 이거였다니 ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 분위기 차이 무엇

This is such a great song. Thank you!

I had been coming back to hear the demo ever since I first found out about it back in 2018 and to FINALLY see the demo released moved me to tears because I had loved the demo just as much as the original and I'd searched for it EVERYWHERE. Thank you so much for uploading this

Yo if a western artist sang this song I would still love it. The demo is AMAZING! EXO definitely killed this song

Looking for demo of this legend song for years and here it is!!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH

everyone imagining how RV would sing this song while my curious ass thinking how RV would dance to this and with what choreo. gosh.

If it was red velvet (in my opinion) : 0:13 irene 0:20 seulgi 0:26 wendy & joy 0:33 irene 0:44 yeri 0:45 seulgi & yeri 1:12 joy 1:19 irene 1:26 wendy & joy 1:38 yeri 1:44 irene & yeri 1:57 joy 2:11 yeri 2:31 wendy 2:38 joy 2:41 wendy Adlib : yeri Some parts might be together
