"Psycho" received positive reviews from music critics for its "smooth and sultry" delivery over a "haunting", "catchy yet structured" production. Though released at the end of 2019, the single was cited by critics as one of the best K-pop songs of that year. The song charted at number one in North America—it was the group's second chart-topper on the Billboard World Digital Songs chart and tied them with 2NE1 as the girl groups with the most top-10 entries on the ranking—and Singapore. It achieved number two in Malaysia, and peaked at the same position on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart for three consecutive weeks, giving Red Velvet their 12th domestic top-10 entry. The song also charted at number 10 in New Zealand, and marked the group's debut on the UK Charts when it entered the component Singles Downloads chart at number 99 for one week.
Background and release
Following the group's third concert, La Rouge, in November 2019, SM Entertainment revealed two different teaser posters on social media at midnight of that year's December 12, along with an official press release which confirmed that Finale would conclude Red Velvet's "music festival" trilogy throughout 2019.[1] Two days later, the first batch of teaser photos were posted on the group's official social media accounts, including "Psycho" as the lead single for this release. The instrumental intro of the song was also revealed through their official Instagram posts before a 17-second video teaser for the song was uploaded to the official SM Town YouTube channel, with the music video being released the following day.[2]
Composition
"Psycho" was written by American record producer Andrew Scott, Korean producer EJAE, and frequent Swedish collaborator Cazzi Opeia during their 2018 songwriting camp in Seoul, South Korea. Following a conversation between the three composers about a breakup where "being heartbroken is almost like feeling psycho", they started working on the idea to come up with the song.[3] Having acknowledged Red Velvet's duality sonic concept, which are "Red" referring to the group's mild and vibrant prep image, and "Velvet" referring to their smooth and R&B sides,[4] Scott wanted to "blend the two" concepts together. With the demo version recorded in English by Opeia that eventually leaked on the Internet weeks before the song's release, the lyrics were then rewritten in Korean by songwriter Kenzie, with additional arrangement from producer Druski, and Yoo Young-jin, the latter of which co-produced the group's previous single "Bad Boy" in 2018.[5]
Musically, "Psycho" was described as an up-tempo urban song, while being characterized by Tamar Herman of Billboard as an R&B-pop track with future bass, "grandiose operatic" instrumental intro with "dramatic" pizzicato strings, "classical" chords and trap beats, squelching synths, which made the song the group's seventh single to fall under the "Velvet" concept.[3][6] According to Scott, the chorus contains the syncopation of hi-hats, which is combined with the drum line to maintain the song's pace. It was composed in the key of Eb major with a tempo of 140 beats per minute.[7] The group's vocals span two octaves, from the low note of G3 to the high-note of G5. A slightly different version of the song was used for the music video, with the chorus having an additional synth line and the pre-chorus including a string melody, while the digital and streaming version omitted these elements. Lyrically, the song tells the story of a relationship "full of ups and downs", where a couple "fights so much that they appear crazy in the eyes of others but are nonetheless meant for each other" and eventually assures that "we're gonna be alright".[8]
Commercial performance
In the final week of December 2019, the song made its debut at number two on South Korea's Gaon Digital Chart, being held of the top by rapper Changmo's "Meteor" for three consecutive weeks. The song went on to peak at number three on the January issue of the Gaon Monthly Digital Chart.[9] In addition, it topped the Gaon Download Chart for two weeks, giving the group their sixth chart-topper on the chart, while peaking at number two for two weeks on the component Streaming Chart. The song also debuted at number nine on the Billboard K-Pop Hot 100 chart for the issue date of December 28, 2019.[10]
On the week of January 4, 2020, "Psycho" debuted atop the US Billboard World Digital Songs Chart, giving Red Velvet their second chart-topper, following their 2018 single "RBB (Really Bad Boy)". This made them one of the nine K-pop artists to top the chart more than once, and the fourth girl group to do this.[11] Moreover, "Psycho" became their 16th top 10 entry, thus tying with the record of 2NE1 as the South Korean girl groups having the most top-ten entries on the chart. In addition, the song became Red Velvet's second entry on the New Zealand Hot Singles chart after "Zimzalabim", entering at number 10 for the week of December 30, 2019.[12] It also debuted at number 99 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart for one week, becoming their first song to appear on a UK component chart.[13]
Live performances
The group delivered their first live performance of "Psycho" at the ReVe Festival FINALE Party on December 22, 2019, which premiered exclusively on V Live with a limited participation for their fandom.[14] Red Velvet were then confirmed to attend the annual SBS Gayo Daejeon on December 25 of that year, scheduled to perform the single for the first time on television.[15] As fellow member Wendy suffered injuries during rehearsal, a pre-recorded performance was aired instead, which eventually led to the group having to perform as a quartet for their next attendance.[16] The remaining four members eventually covered all Wendy's singing parts for their live performance at the 29th Seoul Music Awards on January 30, 2020, where Red Velvet also won their fifth consecutive Main Award (Bonsang).[17]

The video was choreographed by Minya Myoung from 1MILLION and Bailey Sok from Skeleton Crew.[45]

It shows the members of Red Velvet singing and dancing about how a relationship can be full of ups and downs.[8] Following the music video's release, writer Tamar Herman of Billboard described it as "a modern take: on the elegant, yet festive, flair of flappers with lace and feather looks", further praising the video for being "glam".[8] Writer Morin noted the visual's "gorgeous A24-esque indie classic" aesthetic.[19] The group later released a performance video for "Psycho" on January 8, 2020 and also released a live performance of the song during their previous fan-meeting party on January 13 of that year.[46] On March 26, 2020, the music video for the track reached 100 million views on YouTube, which is the group's fastest video to reach the 100 million view milestone, achieving it in 93 days, and 7 hours.[47] On November 17, 2020, the music video for the track reached 200 million views on YouTube, which is the group's fastest video to reach the 200 million view milestone, achieving it in just 10 months, and 24 days.[47]
