Usually, songs of well-known singers such as Michael Jackon and Whitney Houston, or traditional Arabian songs were played as background music of Dubai fountain show, the global tourist attraction. Usage of EXO's music marked the first time the fountain took K-pop as its theme.

Dubai fountain show is recognized as one of the world's three fountain shows, along with Bellagio fountain show in Las Vegas, US, and Montjuic fountain show of Barcelona, Spain.

Magnificent sights are created as jets of water spout up as high as 150m, moving in harmony with the theme song and colorful lightings.
