Russian Roulette is a song by South Korean girl group Red Velvet. The song was released as the third and final single from the group’s second extended play, The Red Summer, on June 29, 2018.
The song is about a young woman who wants to try Russian roulette for the first time. The lyrics describe her excitement and her fear of what will happen if she takes the shot.
The song has received mixed reviews from music critics. Some praised the group’s innovative sound and wrote that the track is an addictive listen, while others found it derivative and unoriginal.
However, most reviewers agreed that the track is catchy and well-produced.
The song has been noted for its dark lyrics and its suggestive imagery. Some have interpreted the song as a metaphor for suicide, while others have seen it as a commentary on mental health issues.
The song has been compared to the work of songs by US duo SZA and UK singer Zedd, both of whom have written songs about similar topics. Russian Roulette has also been compared to fellow Korean girl group Girls’ Generation’s hit song I Got A Boy.
