"Boompala" is a song by South Korean girl group Le Sserafim. It was released on May 22, 2026 by Source Music as the second single from the group's second studio album Pureflow Pt. 1 (2026). "Boompala" is a Latin house song that incorporates an interpolation of "Macarena" by Los del Río, and its lyrics convey a message of letting go of one's fears and using them to drive positive change.

Background

On March 5, 2026, it was reported by Daily Sports that Le Sserafim would release a new song in late April.[1] On April 13, Source Music announced that Le Sserafim would release their second studio album Pureflow Pt. 1 on May 22, 2026, with the lead single "Celebration" set to be released on April 24.[2][3] A promotion timetable for the album was released on May 6, revealing the title of the album's second single, "Boompala".[4] On May 8, a teaser video titled "Just Boompala" was released, featuring a snippet of the song.[5] An interactive website titled "Boompala Pavilion" was made available on May 11, revealing the album's track listing, with "Boompala" as the second track.[6] A teaser video featuring a longer snippet of the song and some of its choreography was released on May 18.[7] Teasers for the song's music video were released on May 20 and 21.[8][9] "Boompala" was released on May 22, alongside its music video.[10] Two performance videos for "Boompala" were released on May 25 and 26, with the first one filmed at the Culture Depot Pavilion, and the second at a quarry in Gyeonggi Province.[11]

Composition

"Boompala" was written by Thom Bridges, Justin Tranter, Score (13), Megatone (13), "Hitman" Bang, JBach, Eren Cannata, Celine Polenghi, Orion Meshorer and Bl$$d, and produced by Bridges, 13 and "Hitman" Bang.[12] It is a Latin house[13] track that incorporates a sample of the song "Macarena" by Los del Río.[14] The song conveys a message of letting go of one's fears instead of "obsessing over what cannot be grasped", through lyrics such as "You can't hold onto the clouds in the air" and "Nothing's forever so nothing's to fear."[15] The lyrics describe using one's fears to drive positive change, expressed with a cheerful energy.[16] The song's title is a made-up word, and its lyrics were inspired by the Buddhist "Heart Sutra" text.[10] "Boompala" was composed in the key of G major with a tempo of 106 beats per minute.[17]

Music video

The music video for "Boompala", directed by 2eehyein, was released on May 22, 2026,[18] and was made as a collaboration with Android and Google Gemini.[19] In the video, the group meditates on a truck covered in horns and speakers moving through the desert, reminiscent of the 2015 film Mad Max: Fury Road, and dance in front of "a giant bank of speakers",[20] incorporating elements of the original "Macarena" dance.[21] The video continues with the members visiting Kim Chaewon, who runs a counseling center in a sauna, and "sublimate their anxiety into joy".[22] In a "vast desert", large golden statues of the members rise out of the sand in meditative poses and lip-sync to the "Macarena" sample as a group of camels "cry out in response".[23] Festival-like sequences follow, with the energy from their performance exploding around the world and into space as the golden statues rain down.[21] At the end of the video, dressed in futuristic outfits, the group dances with a large crowd of people dressed in various costumes.[20]

Accolades

On South Korean music programs, "Boompala" received one first place trophy.
