Mixing elements from the genres of metal and EDM, "Ratatata" is a collaborative song between Babymetal and the German electronicore band known as Electric Callboy.

The sounds of Babymetal, consisting of Suzuka Nakamoto, Moa Kikuchi, and Momoko Okazaki, first appeared on WWE programming in 2016 with their single "Karate." This song acted as one of the theme songs for the "WWE NXT" Takeover: The End event, which was headlined by Samoa Joe successfully defending the NXT Championship against Finn Balor in a steel cage. A Day to Remember's "Paranoia" served as the other theme for the respective premium live event.
As of now, WWE Bash In Berlin has three confirmed matches, one of which will see Cody Rhodes put his Undisputed WWE Championship on the line against Kevin Owens. Elsewhere, Randy Orton will challenge GUNTHER for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, while Damian Priest and Rhea Ripley face Dominik Mysterio and WWE Women's World Champion Liv Morgan.
