Love Shot was released by South Korean boy group EXO in December 2018 as the title track of the repackage album of the same name, following their album Don't Mess Up My Tempo. The song spread widely through its minimalist choreography, especially the finger-gun gesture tied to the title, which fans recreated in dance covers, short videos and fan edits. Its slower tempo and distinctive hook kept it circulating long after release as a recognisable K-pop cue for confident entrances and stylised moments online.
