"**백열등 (Light Bulb)**" is a track from the NCT 2020 project album *NCT 2020 RESONANCE Pt. 1*. It was released on October 12, 2020.

WayV member Kun participated in the song.

## Background

Its original title is "Switch Off", and is a song by Taeyong and Doyoung from SMROOKIES. A Chinese version of the song exists, though only a short version, and is by Taeyong and Kun.

YangYang filled in for Taeyong due to the latter's absence in *Beyond LIVE: NCT RESONANCE Global Wave*, caused by an injury.

## Music

"백열등 (Light Bulb)" is an R&B hip-hop song with attractive voices and acoustic sounds. The lyrics are striking in comparison to the flickering incandescent lights of conflicting couples who can't break up: whether to keep turning on or off the "light of the heart" towards each other.
