"Boom Pow" is a song recorded by Romanian recording artist Alexandra Stan for her third studio album, Alesta (2016). It was made available for digital consumption on 25 August 2016 through Roton and Global Records. "Boom Pow" was written by David Ciente and Trey Campbell, while the production process was solely handled by Ciente. A europop and dance recording, Stan confessed that its lyrical content fits with the vibe of Constanța, her home town, where an accompanying music video was also shot in April 2016 by Ironic Distors. While music critics were positive towards the single and its visual, "Boom Pow" commercially peaked at number 67 on Romania's Airplay 100.

The single was written by David Ciente and Trey Campbell, while production was solely handled by Ciente. Jonathan Currinn, writing for website Celebmix, described "Boom Pow" as a "progressive" song incorporating both europop and "over-the-top" dance styles in its composition, further labelling its sound as "mature", and noting the use of "pulsating beats" and "bass-infused synths" in the recording's instrumentation. About the track, Stan confessed in an interview that its lyrics "fit perfectly with the vibe of Constanța, which [she] adores. [...] 'Boom Pow' is for sure an invitation to dance and to a good time." While Currinn named the text of "Boom Pow" "catchy" and praised Stan's vocal delivery, Los 40 Principales stated that "no summer is complete without [Stan's] summer bet destined to become a summer song", and further felt that the singer tried new sounds with which she hadn't worked prior. Commercially, the single debuted at number 72 on Romania's Airplay 100, and went on peaking at number 67.

An accompanying music video for "Boom Pow" was shot back in April 2016 but remained unreleased until August 2016, although the singer hinted its premiere through various posts on social media. Together with the track's artwork and a statement for her fans, the visual was finally released on 24 August 2016 after her previous single, Écoute (2016), reached 10 million views on YouTube. It was filmed in various locations of her home town Constanța and in front of her residence there by Ironic Distors—who also served as the director of photography—and features an appearance from her love interest Bogdan Staruiala. Make-up and hair styling was managed by Alex Ifimov and Ema Banita, respectively. About the clip, Stan confessed that she "[loves] the summer and the water, [she is] the child of the sea. [She] wished a 'hometown video' for a long time [...]".
