About This Song
South Korean DJ and producer Peggy Gou released "(It Goes Like) Nanana" on June 15, 2023, via XL Recordings as the lead single for her debut studio album I Hear You. The track runs for 4 minutes and 51 seconds and features a piano-driven house beat paired with Gou's playful, half-sung vocals. She wrote and produced the song entirely on her own, marking a shift toward full creative control over her sound while blending classic house euphoria with modern dance-pop sensibilities.
Viral momentum propelled the song before its official drop. An early 2023 video of Gou playing the unreleased track against a Moroccan sunset circulated widely on TikTok, sparking immediate anticipation and fan-made dance challenges. Upon release, the track became a summer anthem that dominated clubs and festival stages globally. It achieved Gou's first-ever entry on the Billboard charts, reaching number one on the Hot Dance/Electronic Songs chart and amassing hundreds of millions of streams across major platforms.
Critics responded enthusiastically to the song's whimsical charm and modern edge. Outlets like Pitchfork and Stereogum highlighted its ability to bridge nostalgic house vibes with current trends. The official music video, directed by James Keith, arrived on September 28, 2023, featuring high-end visuals in scenic locations that reinforced the track's association with travel and summer festivals.
