However, Nancy and Nayun told that at first, members did not expect Bboom Bboom to be such a big hit.

Nancy said, "I worried a lot because it was a song so different from MOMOLAND's previous concepts. We tried harder to adapt to the change and I believe fans acknowledged that." Nayun also said, "Members didn't really like Bboom Bboom because it was such a drastic change. But I thought the song is really good from the beginning, so I expected its hit to some degree."
