I. Introduction
"What We Talkin' Bout" (feat. Marteen) is the third track on Up Next Session: NCT 127, a special EP created for Apple Music from the permanent NCT sub-unit, NCT 127. It was released on October 22, 2018.
The release occurred during promotions of the group's first album, Regular-Irregular, in the United States. The group was the first Kpop group selected to appear in Apple's "What's Up Next: Spotlight" series. Most of the songs on the EP are English.
Although this song is predominantly in English, like many NCT 127 English songs, it does have a few words in Korean.
NCT 127 members Mark and Taeyong co-wrote the lyrics.
II. Streaming
Because it is exclusive, the album is only available on Apple Music, which is paid. However, it is also available for free on the NCT 127 YouTube channel.

Girl, if I hollered and followed you
Would you follow me
