We like the fact that it's kind of in a different time signature -- it's in 6/8, so that's not like a generic pop song.", Woods also stated that the original title of the song is "Love Shop".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/k-town/8491589/exo-love-shot-making-of|title=EXO's 'Love Shot' Album: The Producers & Songwriters Break Down Every Song|website=Billboard|access-date=2019-01-03}}</ref> ==Music video== On December 6, the first teaser of "Love Shot" music video was released.<ref>{{Citation|last=SMTOWN|title=EXO 엑소 'Love Shot' MV Teaser #1|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uGQ3LKFHt9E|access-date=2018-12-08}}</ref> On December 11, the second teaser of "Love Shot" music video was released.<ref>{{cite web|title=EXO 엑소 'Love Shot' MV Teaser #2|date=2018-12-11|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85l8dP9cEkg|access-date=2018-12-11}}</ref> The official Korean music video of "Love Shot" was released on December 13.
