# About "Amp Signal"

Notification pings erupt into pure euphoria on this track—the moment when Ampers worldwide light up their screens and rally behind the boys. We captured that electric jolt when your phone buzzes and you know your people are calling. Late one night before our street showcase, Minwoo noticed how our group chat was basically a heartbeat—everyone sending energy back and forth—and we built this whole song around that feeling.

The production weaves actual Telegram alert sounds into a glimmering synth architecture that builds like anticipation before a surprise party. Those handclaps? Recorded during an impromptu 2AM parking lot practice when we couldn't sleep before the showcase. Every layer matters here—our vocals intentionally overlap during the chorus to create this feeling of voices rushing in from everywhere, just like when Ampers flood the comment section the second we post.

Something magical happens around the 2:17 mark when everything drops except that naked notification sound—it's that suspended moment when you're waiting for your crew to respond, not knowing if you're alone or surrounded. Then boom—everything floods back in twice as powerful.

This track marks a turning point for us musically. We've never stacked harmonies this densely before, and Jaehyun pushed himself to hit those high notes without the safety net we usually build in. The lyrics deliberately reference inside jokes from our fan community (that "ghost thumbs" line is 100% for the day-one Ampers who remember the glitchy livestream fail).

When that final "Ampers, when you ping, I'm right there with you" fades out over laughter samples, it's our promise that no message goes unread—this connection goes both ways. This is our anthem to the digital tribe that powers everything we do.

Lyrics

Ampers: ding! Who’s up—signal squad unite
Group chat badge—flares blue through the night

Sidewalk wires hum—Amp code, we ignite
Jokes bounce in pocket corners, stuck on replay
Emojis volley quick—fam in full flight
We’re electric rumors, laughing halfway

Ghost thumbs tapping—ready, all in
Ampers reply, flash up the spin

Signal’s up, don’t mute my call (don’t fall)
Amp signal—rising, we won’t stall
Hands to the sky—catch it if you’re real
Ride the buzz, let ‘em feel how we feel

Stage stripes, laced shoes, amp icon on my sleeve
Scroll past the memers, hold tight, believe
Smirks pass quiet—spot our link, they perceive
Amp squad in the thread, no need to leave

Signal’s up, don’t mute my call (don’t fall)
Amp signal—rising, we won’t stall
Hands to the sky—catch it if you’re real
Ride the buzz, let ‘em feel how we feel

<Notification melody cold-open>

Signal’s up, don’t mute my call (don’t fall)
Amp signal—rising, we won’t stall
Hands to the sky—catch it if you’re real
Ride the buzz, let ‘em feel how we feel
Signal’s up, don’t mute my call (don’t fall)
Amp signal—louder, turn up for all

Message read—still streaking through
Ampers, when you ping, I’m right there with you
