Composition and lyrics
"Jopping", a combination of words jumping and popping, is the lead track off SuperM’s self-titled debut EP.
The song features heavy electro-pop influences with references to brit-pop sounds. The song uses cinematic-style horns and a groovy beat. A fusion of pop-rock, R&B, and hip-hop genres can be heard in the vocal and rap talents of each member.{{Cite web|url=https://genius.com/Superm-jopping-lyrics|title=SuperM – Jopping Lyrics|website=Genius|language=EN|date=October 4, 2019|accessdate=October 5, 2019}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2019/10/04/what-is-the-meaning-of-jopping-how-to-do-the-super-m-dance/|title=What is the meaning of Jopping?
