Background and release

On April 18, 2019, NCT 127 released a statement on the group's official Twitter and Instagram accounts simultaneously, announcing that their fourth extended play, We Are Superhuman, would be released on May 24, 2019.[2] The initial teaser image that was released only included nine members of the ten-member group: Taeil, Johnny, Taeyong, Yuta, Doyoung, Jaehyun, Jungwoo, Mark, and Haechan. Later that same day, it was announced that WinWin would not participate in this comeback, due to the fact that he was preparing to debut with WayV, NCT's Chinese sub-unit.[3]

Promotion

A 30-second teaser for the music video was released on May 22, 2019, and featured close up shots of all the members as well as scenes from the music video itself.[4] The official music video was released on YouTube two days later on May 24, 2019, at 12 AM KST.[5] The group performed the song for the first time live on April 18, 2019, as the musical guests on Good Morning America (making them only the third K-Pop group to perform on the show)[6] and also performed it on an episode of The Late Late Show with James Corden that aired on May 14, 2019.[7] NCT 127 started their Korean promotions for the single on May 24, 2019, on Music Bank. Additionally, they performed Superhuman on the Show! Music Core, Inkigayo, and The Show.

Composition

The song was written and produced by Korean producers TAK and 1Take, known for their hard-hitting, sledgehammer synths with a glitchy electro-dance base, and LA-based composer Adrian McKinnon, who has previously written songs for other SM Entertainment artists including: SHINee, EXO, and f(x). Park Sung Hee, Lee Suran, JQ, Ameli, and Rick Bridges were responsible for the lyrics.

Critical reception

According to Billboard's Tamar Herman, "Superhuman" is a complextro hiphop-oriented vibrant electropop track, with a powerful, declarative chorus.[8]

MTV's Crystal Bell, describes the single as a "nu-disco song that pulsates with energy, from the isolated harmonies that open and close the track -- an old SM Entertainment flourish that groups like TVXQ, Shinhwa, and SHINee, have all employed -- to the ever-changing synths that progress with such vigor, and the deep, dirty groove that hammers into your soul. The track is shining, shimmering splendor, and the futuristic visual crackles with the same intensity."[9]

Chart performance

"Superhuman" debuted at number 117 on Gaon Digital Chart. Also, the song debuted at number 3 on the World Digital Song Sales chart, with one thousand downloads sold, becoming the group's seventh top-ten song on the chart.
