XG Announces New Single “SOMETHING AIN’T RIGHT” for July 26

The global girl group XG revealed on their social media images to announce the new song and the group's second mini-album, scheduled to be released in late 2024. The first pre-release track will be "SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT,” scheduled for July 26.

"SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT" is a retro-style track based on garage rhythms and featuring addictive refrains that highlight the individuality of each of the seven XG members, with various sounds hidden within its minimalism. The song is directly produced by JAKOPS (SIMON JUNHO PARK), the head and general producer of XGALX. It combines an up-tempo 90s’-esque track along with XG's vivid originality to create "music that makes everyone want to dance, regardless of age or gender."

The cover photo differs in style from XG’s previous work "WOKE UP," and is a colorful pop design full of the individuality of the seven members, showcasing XG's unique abilities.

XG's fifth single "WOKE UP," released on May 21, ranked number one on the YouTube trending chart in the United States. Additionally, it topped the Global Japan Songs Excl. Japan chart, which ranks Japanese songs that are hits worldwide, for five consecutive weeks. Each release continues to set new records, cementing XG’s status as a "global rising group" with unstoppable momentum.

On July 6, XG made their first appearance on Nippon TV's THE MUSIC DAY, performing their fifth single "WOKE UP" and "SHOOTING STAR," which was released in January 2023 and became the theme song for a Spotify brand commercial. "SHOOTING STAR" is a fan-favorite track, and its first TV performance in Japan garnered significant attention on social media, leading to XG's Wikipedia page achieving the highest number of views domestically that day.

Currently, XG is on their first world tour, The first HOWL, and will kick off their overseas performances on Thursday July 11, with a concert in Seoul, aiming to excite ALPHAZ worldwide.

Anticipation is high for XG's second mini-album and their upcoming song "SOMETHING AIN'T RIGHT," as the world eagerly awaits the impact they will surely deliver.
