Behind the Jump Rope Song
The “Khomaya Khomaya” song has roots in Korean childhood games. The lyrics include playful commands like “Little one, little one, turn around” and “Little one, little one, touch the ground.” These lines match the actions players must perform in the game.
Director Hwang Dong-hyuk intentionally used nostalgic children’s songs to contrast with the show’s dark themes. The Jump Rope song plays as contestants try to survive the deadly challenge. The rotating rope and gap in the bridge make it one of the most intense games in Season 3.
Jung Jae-il explained his approach to the music:
“The music should not be in the foreground of the scene, but at the same time, music can show something completely different to the scene.”
This philosophy is evident in how the soundtrack builds tension while staying subtle.
Where to Listen to the Soundtrack
Fans can stream the Squid Game Season 3 soundtrack on platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. The music has already gained popularity, with tracks like “Jump Rope Song” and “Red & Blue” trending online.
The soundtrack has received praise for blending traditional and modern styles. Jung Jae-il’s work on Squid Game earned him a Primetime Emmy nomination, and the music continues to be a highlight of the series.
The Impact of Squid Game’s Music
Since Season 1, the show’s music has played a crucial role in setting the tone. From the eerie “Pink Soldiers” to the suspenseful “Way Back Then”, each track enhances the storytelling.
The Season 3 soundtrack follows this tradition while introducing new themes. The Jump Rope song stands out for its mix of nostalgia and horror. It’s a reminder of how the show turns innocent childhood games into life-or-death challenges.
