"Oh My God" (stylized in sentence case) is a song recorded by South Korean girl group (G)I-dle as the lead single for their third extended play I Trust.
It was written by Soyeon and composed by her and long-time collaborator Big Sancho, while the lyrics for the English version were translated by Lauren Kaori.
An accompanying music video, directed by Yoon Rima and Jang Dongju, was released alongside the single.
[4] "Oh My God" is an urban hip hop track[1] with trap and pop influence[5] in which the stark differences in rhythm that correspond to the atmospheric changes within the song stand out.
[7] The song's lyrics was conceptualized around the theme of 'self-trust' when encountering reality and experiencing feelings of rejection, confusion, recognition, and dignity.
[20] Karina Macias from Wild949 stated the song dives into various genres from Bollywood, pop, and trap and praising the group's soft and fierce looks in the music video.
[21] Crystal Bell from MTV wrote "Oh My God" is the natural evolution of their trendy sound, building on the seething tension of "Lion" and adding a slow, simmering drop primed for the Western market, like a cozy sonic and thematic companion to Ariana Grande's "God Is a Woman.
"[8] Kim Do-heon of IZM describes the track "convincing both fun listening and watching" as it crosses the Latin pop beat of "Senorita" and the heavy sound of 808 bass.
[38] The music video opens with a solo dance by leader Soyeon in a white room which leads her to escape the reality and gradually spread into a dream.
[40] Towards the end of the video, Soojin whispers "Ab imo pectore" meaning 'from the bottom of my heart' or 'with deepest affection' in Latin.
Choreography for the song was created by Star System while being directed by director Yoon Rima and Jang Dongju of Rigend Film production team.
[44] On April 20, a special choreography video of "Oh My God" Heaven's version was released, showing their different charm as a gift for their fans for achieving 50 million views.
[45] Mia Nazarena of Billboard was positive in an article about the album, praising the "dramatic scenes with visually stunning sets, finely-tuned choreography, and carefully curated costume changes".
