Red Velvet is a five-member girl group.

Among the many great songs they’ve released, one particularly addictive track is “Dumb Dumb.” The song’s defining feature is its chorus, which repeats the word “Dumb.” As the song progresses, the speed of the repetition quickens and slows down, so even though it’s a chorus, it feels like part of the melody.

Be sure to check the meaning of the word and the lyrics as well—you’ll understand the reason for the repetition and the message behind it.
