Laboum (Korean: 라붐) is a South Korean girl group that debuted in 2014 under NH Media and Nega Network. Their name means "the party" in French.
In August 2014, NH Media and NEGA Network announced the upcoming debut girl group Laboum, who had been training for four years. The group was touted as a sister group to NH Media's U-KISS and Nega Network's Brown Eyed Girls. Laboum released their debut single album Petit Macaron on August 28, 2015, following the release of their music video for title track "Pit-A-Pat" the day before. The song was written by Seo Ji-eum, known for hits such as f(x)'s "Electric Shock" and TaeTiSeo's "Twinkle", and composed by Jung Jae-yeob.
On October 24, Laboum announced that they would comeback with Petit Macaron DATA PACK, a Petit Macaron re-release with extra digital contents, and a reworking of the track "What About You?". On October 31, the group held a comeback performance on Music Bank and released the song's music video, which featured a clockwork doll theme. Petit Macaron DATA PACK was released on November 3.
The sun is shining, the children laughing, playing
Full of dreams to find
They all remind me, when I was a little boy
Full of life and pride
They look so peaceful
(Moshanyana weso bo' itumele)
So sweet and graceful
(Ngwana weso bo' ithabise)
They're all so hopeful
(Moshanyana weso bo' itumele)
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting
It's time
(Ithabise)
And this is meant to be your day, shine
(Ithabise)
And in your heart you'll know it's time
(Ithabise)
For you take your place
(Ithabise)
Sometimes I wonder why people always seem
To turn around and lose their way
Look out your window, be grateful for this day
And make a change, it's okay
To be peaceful
(Moshanyana weso bo' itumele)
And to be hopeful
(Ngwana weso bo' ithabise)
It's sweet and graceful
(Moshanyana weso bo' itumele)
And there is no need for crying
No need for fighting
Tsatsi lahao lefihlile
(Ithabise, ithabise)
Tsatsi lahao lefihlile
(Ithabise, ithabise)
Ithabise
Ithabise
Ithabise
