We had the pleasure of interviewing Bekuh Boom over Zoom video. Bekuh Boom recently released her single "Anime Eyes". Bekuh has spent most of her career songwriting for some of the biggest names, having signed her first publishing deal to Warner/Chappell Music at the age of 18, and now we're finally getting new music from the legendary artist. "Anime Eyes" was in the works for almost a year until Bekuh brought it to the producer Cook Classics (Panic! At The Disco, Beyonce, Machine Gun Kelly). Bekuh elaborates "The song is about liking someone so much that they can make you feel every emotion to the extreme. When you look at them you get heart eyes, and when they make you mad you get flames shooting out of your eyes, and when they make you sad you get teary eyes. They give you Anime Eyes. It's borderline toxic. Haha. But we've all had at least one of those. There's a lot of my favorite Animes referenced for my anime lovers. Even if someone doesn't watch Anime I think they can still relate to and love this song." Bekuh has songwriting credits across multiple genres (Jordin Sparks, Madison Beer, JLO) BUT is most prominent in K-Pop. She has co-written over 10 songs reaching the #1 position on various music charts, not to mention the billions upon billions of views/streams these songs have accumulated. She's credited on multiple wildly successful Blackpink songs: "Ddu-Du Ddu-Du" "Kill This Love" "Ice Cream" ft Selena Gomez "Pretty Savage" (and many more) as well as Lisa's solo projects "Lalisa" and "Money". Other credits in K-Pop are with Taeyang, Cosmic Girls, Twice, iKon, (G)I-dle, etc. The list goes on!!! We want to hear from you!
