Rookie group HITGS is on a roll this year with their constant release schedule. Since their debut in April, the group has put out one single album and two singles, and even made an appearance at KCON LA 2025. HITGS’s songs now culminate in their first EP, which came out on October 6. Things we love : I includes the group’s previously released singles “GROSS” and “CHARIZZMA” alongside three new tracks. 

TRACKLIST: 

  1. “HAPPY” 

  2. “A-HA!”

  3. “PAGE”

  4. “GROSS”

  5. “CHARIZZMA” 

The Pre-Release: “A-HA!”

On September 22, HITGS came out with “A-HA!” This dance track centers around wanting another person’s romantic affection. HITGS waits around for their crush to have their “A-HA!” moment, when the feelings become mutual.*

Sparks fly, literally, with thunderbolts appearing across the bright blue sky in the music video. While the music video is set in a desert, it also includes a supernatural theme with odd weather and the appearance of UFOs. The visual effects produce some silly, but more importantly, amusing, scenes. 

The Title Track: “HAPPY”

True to its name, “HAPPY” comes with a cheerful disco sound. The song feels like a lyrical response to “A-HA!” In “HAPPY,” HITGS tells about how their feelings go unnoticed by their crush. This situation creates pressure to confess, as it will help HITGS feel complete.* 

While Korea has transitioned out of the summer season, the “HAPPY” music video looks like it belongs there. Visuals of jumping into a swimming pool, enjoying sundaes with friends, and taking an afternoon joyride fill the video with glee. While the members initially begin the video isolated and bored, they eventually come together to spend time as a group.  

For a group from a small company, HITGS is trying their hardest to make sure K-Pop fans remember their name. The continuous push from H Music Entertainment has kept HITGS in the spotlight every few months. With the launch of Things we love : I, HITGS hits another milestone that any rookie should feel proud of.
