Freefall Drill Tower is a remake version by MCK from the TikTok "super hit" Freefall Drill Tower (Li Bi) - a Chinese song that is especially loved by young audiences, especially fans of the hit TV series Hard to Coax.

Although only 1 minute and 46 seconds long, MCK's version, with a new beat and fast tempo, quickly "caused a fever" on all platforms. Compared to the original, which is softer and gentler, Drill Tower is more catchy with hip hop and electronic music.
