The song
‘LOVE ATTACK’ is one of the two title tracks of SCENEDROME, RESCENE’s first mini album, released on 27 August 2024; ‘Pinball’ is the other. The album introduction describes it as a bright song with a strong guitar distortion sound, carrying the message that each of us shines brighter together.
Reviews
So Seung-geun, writing for IZM soon after release, pointed at the stretch before the chorus. He noted that progressive house and a beat drop are placed ahead of the main melody, in the manner of the hook songs of the second and third idol generations, and wrote that “thanks to it, the finest melodic hook of 2024 was born.” Of that stretch he wrote that “it dominates the song so completely that it settles several chord changes and a slightly fussy arrangement”, and of the five members’ singing that “they lead the song in an even pastel-toned delivery in which no one sticks out, matched to the song’s mood, and complete a harmonious apportioning.”
At the same outlet’s year-end feature, Park Seung-min called the song “a dizzyingly dreamlike firework let off in their debut year”. He described its build — “the electric guitar of the intro that takes charge of the first strike, the bassline and funky riff that decorate the rap parts in turn, and the EDM-style build-up mesh precisely and open a path towards the finale” — and wrote that “a product that weaves modern polish into the values of the past is all the more singular for it.”
NME placed the song at number 11 in its 25 best K-pop songs of 2024, where Ivana E. Morales wrote that “the verses are in equal parts punchy and fun, building to a delightful chorus that overflows with breezy melodies and heavenly vocals”. In Billboard’s 25 best K-pop albums of 2024, Abby Webster heard the song as SCENEDROME’s “crown electro-pop jewel”.
The reverse run
The song first appeared on Melon’s daily chart in September 2024, at 904th — Melon’s own account, quoted by Financial News in its report on the platform’s first-half review. The Fact reported in December 2025 that it had reached 65th on Melon in May 2025, nine months after release.
Almost two years after release the song re-entered the Melon TOP100 and kept climbing; Harper’s Bazaar Korea put the re-entry at 338 days in a piece of 10 June 2026. It stood fifth on 30 June 2026 and number one on 9 July 2026. Sports Kyunghyang reported that on the day it reached number one it was also third on Melon’s daily chart, third on FLO, fourth on Genie Music’s realtime chart and fourth on Bugs’ daily and realtime charts. On that day Melon’s first-half report named RESCENE the reverse run artist of the period, and the group performed the song on M Countdown.
