    I. Introduction

    "Arcade" is the third track on Glitch Mode, the second Korean studio album from NCT Dream. It was released on March 28, 2022. It is also the fourth track on the repackage, Beatbox.


    The album features all 7 members.


    The song was the group's first with hip hop producer Dem Jointz, who was responsible for iconic NCT 127 songs like "Cherry Bomb," "Kick It" and "Sticker." His song for NCT Dream is a more traditional R&B flavored song, reflective of Dream's softer style, and described as an "an attractive hip hop dance song with signature vocal source and lively beat and the lyrics, inspired by arcade games, contain a confident message that if you want to win the game, you eventually have to follow me to win."


    NCT Dream is a sub-unit of NCT.
