    [edit]

    According to TuneBat.com, "Boom" is written in the key of E minor and has a tempo of 108 beats per minute.[2]

    Music video

    [edit]

    The music video for "Boom" opens with the three members of the band wearing outfits that resemble construction site uniforms. Lights in the background flash, spelling out "boom" in braille.[3]

    Right before the bridge, an overhead light falls on the frontman, Sam Harris, knocking him out. He gets up and begins to perform again with a bleeding temple.[4]
