BTS member j-hope plans to drop a new solo single called Killin' It Girl, which features American rapper GloRilla. The song will come out on June 13, the same day BTS debuted 12 years ago—a date that means a lot to their worldwide fans aka ARMY. This song is the BTS rapper's third solo release this year, after Sweet Dreams (with Miguel) and Mona Lisa.
BIGHIT Music says Killin' It Girl stays true to hip-hop while its lyrics talk about the excitement of falling in love at first sight. The company describes the single as a song that mixes "honest freshness" with "daring appeal," making it stand out in its sound and style.
"THIS IS GONNA BE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! CAN'T WAIT TO HEAR IT!!" a fan wrote on X.

The team-up with GloRilla adds a cool vibe to the song. She's known for her bold attitude and clever lyrics, and this Memphis rapper has made waves in the hip-hop world. Her first album, Glorious, which came out last year, hit No. 5 on the Billboard 200. She also won Best New Hip-Hop Artist at the 2023 iHeartRadio Music Awards. Her part in Killin' It Girl will give the track a strong and magnetic feel.
The song's music has a stripped-down production style, putting the spotlight on j-hope's rhythmic flow and GloRilla's unique rap style. A short preview hints at a catchy hook and a thumping beat, which has fans excited. The words talk about the quick spark of attraction focusing on the appeal of someone confident and magnetic. Along with the team-up version, the BTS star will also put out a solo take of the track. This two-pronged approach lets people hear two different interpretations of the song.
The release campaign includes plans to reveal concept images and a music video teaser in the days before June 13. Also, j-hope will give his first live performance of Killin' It Girl during the final shows of his solo world tour, "Hope on the Stage." These concerts are set for June 13 and 14 at the Goyang Sports Complex in Gyeonggi Province.
