Background and composition

Cquote1.png I just liked "Bop Bop" from the first play, as it was just a demo Eric Turner showed me in the studio. I thought it was something different. It's a cheerful, crazy and energetic song, which I hope you will enjoy.
—Inna on talking about "Bop Bop"[3]

Inna met Eric Turner at his studio when she was involved in the recording session for her album INNA. After she heard his idea for a new song, Inna decided to collaborate him on this single, which became later the title "Bop Bop". After they released the song, Inna expressed how the song has a different sound from what she did so far. She even describes the song as "cheerful", "crazy" and "energetic". "Bop Bop" is a dance-pop record.[5]

Music video

Background

The music video of "Bop Bop" was teased for the first and only time on July 9, 2015. The clip features Inna and six backup dancer performing synchronized dance moves on a kind of stage or runway. The theme of the video seems to be black and white, for which the backup dancers are dressed. Inna herself sports a sparkling silver top.[6] Three additional videos were released during July 2015 in which the track is played for the first times to unknowing citizens of Los Angeles and Inna's fellow Romanian stars. Both videos capture extremely positive input, with some listeners stating that the track would be the "next summer song" or "a smash hit".[7][8][9] After the official music video for "Bop Bop" was released, Inna particularly expressed that she wanted to film a "fashion" video for her song. According to her desire, Marni, Givenchy, HBA HOOD by Air, Balmain, KTZ, Ashish, Pierre Hardy and Pas du Tout were credited for designing the outfits she wore in the video.[3]

Release and synopsis

The official music video of "Bop Bop" premiered on July 13, 2015 on InnaRomania's YouTube channel.[10]

After "Diggy Down", "Bop Bop" became Inna's second music video in a row to chart atop the weekly songs-on-TV chart compiled by Media Forest. It reached number one on September 28, 2015.[4] As of October 6, 2015, it gathered nearly 8.500.000 views on YouTube.

Inna engaged Dimitri Caceaune, John Perez and David Gal for the video's shooting process. Caceaune and Gal already worked with her on Alexandra Stan's "We Wanna", where Inna was the guest performer along Daddy Yankee.[11] The video stars with a woman turning an old-fashioned TV on. Subsequently, the words "BOP BOP" appear on its screen. Following this, some photos of girls are seen scattered on the floor of a dark-lightened room. Subsequently, the pictures are held in front of more women's faces by a girl whose face can't be seen. Eric Turner appears then singing the chorus of "Bop Bop" on the TV's screen wearing black sunglasses and a silver jacket. Inna is shown for the first time in the video when she sings to herself in front of a mirror. She later appears sporting an officer-outfit, with it including a black hat and a tie. For the second refrain, she and her backup dancers perform a synchronise choreography on a runaway. After this, Inna appears wearing a yellow dress while standing on a stair, with her shadow not moving alike to her. Next, Inna is presented lying on a XXL-photo of her face. For the breakdown of the song, she and her backup dancers are shown dressed in black and white, while clapping their hands and doing subtle movements. The video ends with Inna appearing on the TV's screen, before it is switched off by a woman previously shown. Cut-scenes portray people performing tribal moves while the video's frame is vertically constrained to just the centre of the screen, and two lesbian girls touching their body and picturing themselves.[12]
