Red Velvet reclaims summer with Power Up on the electrifying Summer Magic album. Love the styling on this album as well.

For me, the performance version is always superior to the official MV. I would much rather my screen time be filled with Red Velvet, vs. some special effects or other stage props.

Lyrics

[Intro: All]
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana

[Verse 1: Irene, Yeri, Seulgi, Joy, Wendy]
Oh, 아무것도 안 했는데, 왜
시간은 벌써 3시?
Ice americano 마셔도, 왜
더 후끈후끈하니? (Hey)
태양은 우릴 놀리고
아스팔트 온도 50도 (Wow)
원해요 에너지
차갑거나 아예 뜨겁게

[Pre-Chorus: Wendy]
Summer magic
반짝인 그 ocean 위로
난 벌써 날아 (Ah, ah)

[Chorus: All, Irene]
Go, go, airplane, 번개처럼 날아라
카우아이 파도 속 나를 던져 버리게
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Let’s power up) 까맣게 다 타버릴 거예요

[Post-Chorus: All, Wendy]
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana, ba
(Let’s power up) 놀 때 제일 신나니까요

[Verse 2: Joy, Irene, Wendy, Yeri]
Oh, 좋아하는 걸 원해봐요
(I want it, I want it, want it, want it, yeah)
매일 그대 열정은 타오르죠
(I’ll take it, I’ll take it, take it, take it, yeah)
그런 게 우리의 천재적인 파워야
즉흥적 본능적 맞아 그게 필요해
떠나요, 오늘 밤 짜릿함을 찾으러 (Ah), level up (Ah)

[Pre-Chorus: Seulgi]
엔진 소리
들뜬 맘의 background music
봐, 벌써 날아 (Ah, ah)

[Chorus: All, Seulgi, Yeri]
Go, go, airplane, 태양 위로 날아라
Diving to the sky, 완전 소름 돋았어
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Let’s power up) 까맣게 다 타버릴 거예요
Go, go, airplane, 번개처럼 날아라
카우아이 파도 속 나를 던져 버리게
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Let’s power up) 까맣게 다 타버릴 거예요

[Post-Chorus: All, Joy, Seulgi]
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana, ba
(Let’s power up) 놀 때 제일 신나니까요 (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)

[Bridge: Wendy, Yeri, Irene, Seulgi, Joy]
선생님은 내게 말씀하셨죠 (Huh, uh)
놀 때도 일할 때도 즐겁게 해 (Right)
그래, 난 유달리 반짝거렸죠 (Huh)
뜨거움도, 새로움도, it’s mine

[Chorus: All, Wendy, Joy, Irene]
Go, go, airplane, 번개처럼 날아라
카우아이 파도 속 나를 던져 버리게
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
(Let’s power up) 까맣게 다 타버릴 거예요
Go, go, airplane, 태양 위로 날아라 (Yeah)
Diving to the sky, 완전 소름 돋았어 (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Let’s power up) 까맣게 다 타버릴 거예요

[Post-Chorus: All]
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba, banana-nana, ba
(Let’s power up) 놀 때 제일 신나니까요

Let’s power up!
Because playing is the most fun

[Verse 2: Joy, Irene, Wendy]
Oh, want what you like
I want it, I want it, want it, want it, yeah
Each day, your passion is burning
I’ll take it, I’ll take it, take it, take it, yeah

[Refrain: Yeri, Wendy]
That’s our genius power
Being spontaneous and instinctual
That’s what we need, let’s go
Let’s level up to find the electricity tonight

[Pre-Chorus: Seulgi]
The engine humming in our hearts
That’s our background music, look! I’m already flying

[Chorus 2: All]
Go! Go! Airplane!
Fly above the sun
Diving to the sky
I’m getting goosebumps
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Let’s power up!
We’re gonna burn up
Go! Go! Airplane!
Fly like lightning
So I can throw myself
Into the waves of Kauai
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Let’s power up!
We’re gonna burn up

Ba-banana, ba-ba-banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba-banana-nana

[Bridge: Wendy, Irene, Seulgi, Joy]
Teacher told me (Uh, uh)
To have fun whether I’m playing or working (Right)
Yes, that’s why I shined even more (Uh)
This hotness, this newness, it’s mine

[Chorus 3: All]
Go! Go! Airplane!
Fly like lightning
So I can throw myself
Into the waves of Kauai
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Let’s power up! (Yeah, yeah)
We’re gonna burn up (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Go! Go! Airplane!
Fly above the sun
Diving to the sky
I’m getting goosebumps (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah-yeah, yeah-yeah-yeah-yeah
Let’s power up!
We’re gonna burn up

[Post-Chorus: All]
Ba-banana, ba-ba-banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba-banana-nana
Ba-banana, ba-ba-banana-nana, ba!
Let’s power up!
Because playing is the most fun
