"Callin'" is a song recorded by South Korean boy band Super Junior for their single album, The Road: Winter for Spring. It was released alongside the single album on February 28, 2022, by SM Entertainment and Label SJ, with Dreamus handling the distribution.

Background

[edit]

In 2021, Super Junior released their 10th Korean studio album, The Renaissance, on March 16, 2021, fronted by singles "The Melody" and "House Party".[1] On February 14, 2022, Label SJ announced that the group will release a single album as "welcome gift" for fans at home and abroad by capturing Super Junior's unique musical world.[2] The release date for The Road: Winter for Spring was confirmed two days later, scheduled to be released on February 28.[3] "Callin'" was announced as the lead single of the single album alongside the teaser music video few days later.[4]

On the 22nd, more details of "Callin'" were announced: the song lies within pop rock genre, and written by long-time contributor, Kenzie, who was also the producer of the song.[5] For the next two days, the label continues to release teaser images and teaser for the music video.[6] An interview video was uploaded on the 25th, where the members introduced the track and commenting on its production.[7] The single was released with its music video, in tandem with the single album on the 28th.[8]

Composition

[edit]

"Callin'" is described as a pop rock song that was written, composed, arranged, and produced by long-time contributor Kenzie.[9] She previously wrote the group's previous hits such as "No Other", "Opera", and "Devil". Rolling Stone India labeled the song as an alternative rock ballad.[10]

The song was composed in the key of C Major with the tempo of 160 BPM.[11] Built on delicate and "beautiful" melody, the lyrics narrate the characters do not want to miss a single day of love.[12]

Member Siwon introduced the track as "an absolutely wonderful song", while Ryeowook recounted how the members instantly loved the song when they heard the demo.[13] Leader Leeteuk mentioned how the song warms his heart, with Heechul adding that the fans can listen to the song during winter or spring.[14]

Kenzie instructed Leeteuk to sing with more gravelly voice and remove the emotions, which he ended up recording in an indie band manner.[15]

Music video

[edit]

Two music videos were released for the song. The "Winter for Spring" version featured an animation, while the "Winter" did not. The video shows a man who locks himself in a room of his heart with a woman waiting for him outside of the room, as the season changes.[16]

During a radio interview with Kim Shin-young on MBC FM4U, Shindong initially thought the storyboard was awkward with the animations and its back and forth, before liking how it eventually turned out.[15]

Live performances

[edit]

Super Junior debuted "Callin'" live on stage for the first time during their March 3 appearance on M Countdown.[17] It was performed on Show! Music Core and Inkigayo afterwards.[18][19]

The song was later featured in the setlist of their Super Show 9: Road world concert tour.[20]
