Boom Boom (Rye Rye song)

"Boom Boom" is a song by American recording artist, Rye Rye. It serves as the fourth single from her debut album, Go! Pop! Bang!. It was released to iTunes via Interscope Records on March 6, 2012. The chorus is a cover of "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom" by Vengaboys. A music video, incorporating video game motifs, was released on March 22, 2012.

The song was received well by reviewers, who compared the music video and lyrics to the works of Usher and Nicki Minaj. Shortly after its release, the song peaked at number 8 on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs chart.

Composition

"Boom Boom" is an electro hop song with elements of dance-pop and rap The chorus samples a riff from the Hi-NRG song "Boom, Boom, Boom, Boom" by Vengaboys. The song employs pop hooks and a "feather-light" electropop earworm.

Critical reception

"Boom Boom" received positive reviews. Rap-Up called "Boom Boom" fun, flirty, and a dance floor-ready delight. Sam Lansky of MTV's Buzzworthy congratulated Rye Rye on the inclusion of Vengaboy's smash hit of a similar title, elevating it above her work with Robyn in "Never Will Be Mine" and the Far East Movement's "Jello". Lansky called the song, "a contemporary radio confection, complete with layers of Atari blips and bloops alongside "Ay!" callouts evoking Usher's "Love in This Club." Lansky closed the critique by lauding the video game music samples, calling "Boom Boom" Rye Rye's glossiest and hippest song to date. Jeff Benjamin, a blogger for Billboard, praised how the sampling of Vengaboy, combined with the youthful delivery of her rap lyrics rescued "Boom Boom" from becoming another generic pop song. Benjamin also dubbed the song as fun and appealing, confessing that the song has the potential to convert an entirely new audience to her sound.
