Transcription
Composition and lyrics
The production of the song consists of saxophone and sirens, the style of which has been compared to that of N.E.R.D.,[1][2] providing a mood of high energy. Lyrically, Brockhampton members describe the hardships they have faced;[3] Kevin Abstract proclaims in the chorus, "I've been beat up my whole life / I've been shot down, kicked down twice / Ain't no stoppin' me tonight / I'ma get all the things I like".[3][4]
Critical reception
Will Rosebury of Clash praised the instrumental, writing "the multitude of horn and sirens providing the perfect canvas for some of the group's most unhinged verses."[1] Dan Weiss of Consequence of Sound described the song as an "SNL Band-meets-House of Pain squall" and a "conscious attempt to make something more danceable".[5]
WatchMojo ranked "Boogie" as the band's third best song.[6] Live365 ranked it as their fifth best song.[7] Variety placed "Boogie" at number eight on their list of Brockhampton's 15 best songs.[8]
Music video
The music video was directed by Kevin Abstract and released alongside the single. It finds Brockhampton wreaking havoc at a convenience store in Van Nuys, Los Angeles,[9][10][11][12] where each of them performs their verses in different areas; Abstract is in the aisles and Joba is in the freezer. At one point, the group is dressed in orange jumpsuits with their skin painted blue.[11] They later rob a pizzeria.[11][12]
