Composition
"Feel My Rhythm" was written by Seo Ji-eum and composed by Jake K, Maria Marcus, MCK and Swedish composer Andreas Öberg.[10] Musically, it is a dance-pop song that samples Bach's "Air on the G String", featuring "delicate" and "elegant" string melodies, "intense" trap beats, and "fantastic" vocal charm.[11] The song draws inspiration from Bach and ballet, blending modern pop sensibilities with classical music.[12] It was composed in the key of C-sharp major, with a tempo of 158 beats per minute,[13] while the lyrics vividly unravel one's journey to enjoy themselves freely through time and space along with the song.[14]
