"Beatbox" is a song that was recorded by South Korean boy group NCT Dream. It was released as the lead single from the repackaged version of their second studio album Glitch Mode (2022) on May 30, 2022, alongside an accompanying music video. The song was written by Jeong Ha-ri and was composed by Brice Fox, Emily Kim, Jurek Reunamaki, and Michael Jade, who worked on the arrangement with Imlay. It is a hip hop, R&B and teen pop song with lyrics influenced by the themes of old-school hip hop.
In South Korea, "Beatbox" topped the Gaon Digital Chart. NCT Dream was set to perform the song on several South Korean television shows, but had to cancel due to two members testing positive for COVID-19. The song still won five music programs awards. Critics commented positively on "Beatbox"'s concept and its originality, despite being heavily influenced by the 90s' aesthetic and musical themes.
