"Rock with You" is a song by South Korean boy band Seventeen. It was released as the lead single of their ninth extended play (EP) Attacca on October 22, 2021.

Background and release

Following the release of Seventeen's previous EP Your Choice, Attacca served as the next installment of their 2021 "Power of Love" project.[1][2] This marked the band's first album release since the renewal of their contracts with Pledis Entertainment.[3] Conceptualized with the theme of a "loud, passionate, and unapologetic" love, the mini-album spans six tracks and a digital exclusive song, including its lead single "Rock with You",[2] which was released on October 22, 2021.[4] The song's accompanying music video was also released on the same day.[5]

Composition

For me, personally, I talked about this with Bumzu, too, but I was inspired after seeing the motifs in one of our album jacket photos. I saw the flames and motorcycle, and when I saw our members physically embodying this ‘passionate love’ idea, the inspiration hit me way quicker than if I had worked it out on paper or in my head.

— Woozi on the song's inspiration, Rolling Stone[6]

"Rock with You" was described to be a guitar-and-synth-heavy pop rock track,[2][3] which expressed "the deepening emotions of love against a very energetic melody".[1] Elaborating on the creative process of the song, Seventeen revealed that "Rock with You" had gone through several revisions regarding its melody, key, and recording processes; the group further identified the guitar riff as the song's "key point", interspersing the sound throughout the whole track.[7]

The song was composed by Woozi, Bumzu, Josh McClelland, Matt Terry, Jordan Wittzigreuter, Cameron Walker, and Tim Tan; its lyrics were written by Woozi, Bumzu, Vernon, Joshua, Kim In-Hyung, Jordan Wittzigreuter, Cameron Walker, and Tim Tan.[4]

Commercial performance

In South Korea, "Rock with You" peaked at number six on the Gaon Digital Chart and at number two on its component Download Chart, as recorded on the charts dated October 24–30, 2021.[8][9] The song also debuted at number five on the World Digital Song Sales chart for the issue dated November 6, 2021.[10]

Critical reception

Sara Delgado of NME opined that for a track that was intended to redefine Seventeen's sonic identity, "Rock with You" came off as a "restrained performance" but otherwise recognized it as "an energetic pop rock track that doubles as a passionate love letter" and a "promising reflection" of the group's future.[11] Divyansha Dongre of Rolling Stone India commended Seventeen's vocal prowess and praised the group for "a stellar job at maintaining an energetic tempo with a careful amalgamation of percussion and synth".[12] Reviewing for Teen Vogue, Sara Delgado commented on the song's infectious nature, deeming it "instantly catchy".[2]
