XG impresses once again with new track ‘IYKYK’

‘IYKYK’ is a unique song that showcases XG’s ambition to break boundaries. It depicts the members embarking on a journey through an infinite universe at lightspeed, a powerful message of venturing together into uncharted territories.

Produced by JAKOPS (SIMON JUNHO PARK), the president and executive producer of XGALX, this album samples the sound of m-flo’s ‘Prism’ released in 2001.

It adds a 2-step rhythm – creating a sense of drifting through space and heightening the anticipation of the journey that is about to begin. The lyrics of the chorus, “IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW,” mean “those who understand will understand,” and anyone who does will want to join in on this journey to a new dimension.

The music video takes a different approach from XG’s previous videos. It shows the world from XG’s perspective, exploring how it appears at once mysterious and extraordinary through their eyes.

The video is built around the theme of ‘Sense mutation,’ where each XG member’s unique sensory distortion allows them to see the true light. The video visually represents this mystical concept, inviting fans to experience XG’s dreamscape.

XG is currently on their first world tour, ‘The first HOWL, ‘ recently performing in Las Vegas on October 4th. Their US tour crosses eight cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Grand Prairie, Sugar Land, Duluth, New York and Chicago.

Following the US tour, they will head to Europe, beginning in Manchester on November 18th and performing in seven further cities, including London, Berlin, Paris, Düsseldorf, Brussels and Amsterdam. In 2025, they will hold additional concerts in Japan, performing in Nagoya, Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Osaka, with eight shows across these 4 cities.

XG’s highly anticipated 2nd mini-album, ‘AWE,’ featuring the hit single ‘IYKYK,’ is set to be released on November 8th.

XG 2nd Mini Album AWE
2024.11.08 FRI

With their first Mini Album, ‘ NEW DNA,’ XG emerged as a new entity (X-GENE), marking the beginning of their unique worldview. Now, they strive to connect even more deeply with the world through music.

When a new presence appears, it evokes fear and curiosity, leading people through a psychological process of “awe” as they accept it. XG’s 2nd Mini Album aims to evoke this awe, offering listeners a special experience of living alongside XG’s music in their everyday lives.
