Black Eye is a pop punk song recorded by Korean-American rapper & SEVENTEEN member Vernon. It was released on December 23, 2022. The song was written and composed by himself and Robb Roy, with additional composition by Ohway!, who arranged the track, and Hong Hoon-gi.
This energetic and melodic song showcases classic pop punk and rock elements, from punchy drum beats to catchy guitar riffs. In the lyrics, Vernon explores themes of emotional pain and fear of intimacy, portrayed through a character grappling with their ego. As Vernon explains, the song's outro captures the conflicting emotions of getting close to someone and then pushing them away to avoid causing harm. The track's raw and unfiltered sound is a collaborative effort between Vernon and Robb Roy, with a focus on powerful vocals and minimalistic production. Dive into the world of "Black Eye" and feel the angsty teenage misanthropy and brooding resentment that fuels this dynamic pop punk anthem.
“Everyone that worked on the mixtape are fans of pop-punk,” Vernon adds. “I think our collective love for pop-punk naturally shows in the outcome. Pop-punk felt fitting to the imagery and lyrics that we had in mind when we started working on the song. I like how expressive the genre is. There was a sense of relief in writing and recording ‘Black Eye,’ I think because it's outspoken.”
