Kiki has announced a different kind of summer.
On the 6th at 6 PM, Kiki will release their first digital single, 'DANCING ALONE,' on major music platforms. They have introduced a total of two songs in advance.
The title track 'DANCING ALONE' is a dance song that blends city pop and retro synth-pop. Despite its fast tempo, it manages to maintain a relaxed feel, and its bright melody stands out.
The song expresses the friendship with a friend that is warmer than love. The phrase 'dancing alone' expands to convey a sense of freedom and connection rather than loneliness.
The music video captures realistic emotions and the remnants of friendship, presenting a world that feels genuine. It evokes memories for the viewers of times when even being alone felt like being together.
The B-side track 'Strawberry Cheesegame' features cute and refreshing sounds. It captures the complicated emotions intertwined with affection in friendships.
An official stated, "Kiki sings honestly and deeply complex emotions, striking directly at Generation Z's feelings, while being cute yet not lightweight." They added, "This album embodies the aesthetics of imperfect emotions that would be hard to digest if not for Kiki, and it will once again dominate the playlists."
Kiki conveyed the vivid emotions of young girls in their debut song 'I Do Me.' With this new track, they plan to redefine the emotions of youth friendship with even deeper feelings.
They previewed 'DANCING ALONE' at the '2025 K-Pop Festival' on the 27th of last month, providing a refreshing melody and powerful performance that promises to be a healing summer song.
The teasing concept was unique, as they opened a 'Garage Sale' website. Offline promotions such as 'Slushy Truck' and 'Stage Attack' built anticipation.
