==Background and conceptualization==
"bop it up!" was written by María and Josh Conway during the summer of 2020. It originated during a period marked by uncertainty and introspection, as the world grappled with the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic. María reflects on the process, using the song as an outlet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qARpNYBzitQ
==Theme==
The song delves into themes of personal struggle and the journey towards self-acceptance. María describes it as embodying a feeling rather than just lyrics, signifying a sense of liberation or a lack of inhibition. In her own words, "'bop it up!' is a reflection of that uncertainty and conflict, both within ourselves and with our perception of the world."https://northerntransmissions.com/the-marias-debut-bop-it-up/ The title itself, seemingly nonsensical, encapsulates the essence of the song, which María explains as a spontaneous expression that emerged during recording.
=== Music video ===
The accompanying animated music video, directed by Bethany Vargas and María Zardoya, provides a visual representation of the song's themes and emotions. María explains that various elements in the video symbolize different aspects of her insecurities and struggles. The "red clones" represent her deepest insecurities, while the water signifies her emotional vulnerabilities. Additionally, the snakes depict her reactive insecurities, all of which intertwine and morph, reflecting the complexity of overcoming personal challenges.
