"Tempo" is a song by South Korean-Chinese boy band Exo, released on November 2, 2018, as the lead single from the band's fifth studio album Don't Mess Up My Tempo. The music video was released on the same date.

Composition

"Tempo" was called "a rhythmical hip-hop-leaning dance track that showcases a cappella harmonies as they send warnings not to 'mess up his tempo' with their lover".[1] Billboard stated the preview "starts off with a dramatic synth melody, pulsating beat and the phrase 'I can't believe'."[2]

Promotion

Exo promoted the album and song with teasers throughout October 2018, including a 30-second Tempo Concept short film, showing the band as a biker gang, which was a preview of "Tempo".[2]

On November 2, Exo began promoting "Tempo" on South Korean music shows.[3] The group also performed the song on the same day on their album's showcase.[4]

Music video

Prior the release of the video, Kai stated that the choreography "will be dynamic and hurtling like a speedy motorcycle", and Xiumin revealed that it would contain "fist-wielding movements to emphasize EXO's manly image".[1] It garnered 17 million views and 2 million likes on the first day of its release on YouTube.
