Fantastic Baby was released in 2012 by South Korean group BIGBANG as a track on their Alive extended play and quickly became one of their signature songs. Its electronic dance sound, chant like hook and striking music video helped it spread far beyond Korea during the global rise of K-pop on YouTube. The song remained a staple at concerts, in dance practice videos and in fan edits for years afterwards. Short clips of its chorus still circulate because that single shouted phrase instantly signals confidence, style and celebration.
