## Composition

Musically, "Groovy" is a song that "stands out with the retro pop and hip-hop sensibility of the 2000s, and contains Cravity's unique atmosphere and energy".

## Critical reception

Jeff Benjamin from Billboard describes the single "Groovy" as a song that continues the bright, feel-good energy with additional sparkle and shimmer throughout their discography. In addition, he said that the funky rhythmic guitars have brought back some of Cravity's smoothest and coolest hooks to date, before the chorus of the song bursts into an explosion of synthesizers and brass as Cravity declares, "You make you feel so groovy!" in the music.

## Commercial performance

"Groovy" debuted at number 132 on South Korea's Circle Digital Chart on the chart issue dated March 5–11, 2023. On the monthly charts, Groovy debut and peaked at number 31 on the Circle Download Chart. Groovy is the first song from the group to enter the Circle Digital Charts in their career.

## Music video

The music video shows both sides of Cravity as the guys go from suit-and-tie office workers to colorfully dressed pop stars onstage and at press conferences that the paparazzi are fighting to film. The different worlds continuously mix throughout the visual until the final chorus, when the boys dance in vibrant, chic, contemporary suits.
