The group NOWZ has captured the hearts of the Chinese audience with their pre-release track 'Fly Freely (Feat. YUQI)'.
NOWZ (comprising Hyunbin, Yoon, Yeonwoo, Jinhyuk, Siyoon) has seen their pre-release track 'Fly Freely (Feat. YUQI)' from their first mini-album 'IGNITION' climb to the top of the new song chart on China's QQ Music as of the 26th. Furthermore, YUQI's latest release 'We Are the Best', also produced locally, secured the second spot, marking a successful collaboration between Cube Entertainment's senior and junior artists.
YUQI not only produced 'Fly Freely (Feat. YUQI)' but also participated in challenges with her fellow (G)I-DLE members, showing her strong support for NOWZ. A behind-the-scenes video of the production process revealed YUQI's heartfelt dedication to the project, moving fans deeply.
The 'Fly Freely (Feat. YUQI)' challenge is also causing a sensation across Chinese platforms. On Douyin, the Chinese version of TikTok, the hand dance challenge for the song has consistently ranked high on the challenge charts, maintaining its popularity.
'Fly Freely (Feat. YUQI)' marks a new chapter for NOWZ as they rebrand, capturing the complex emotions of youth navigating between endless anxiety, expectations, and self-doubt. Following the Korean version, which all NOWZ members contributed to lyrically, they released a Chinese version to reciprocate the global fanbase's warm reception and interest.
Proving their buzzworthy status as 'ZALPHA's representative rookies' with this pre-release track, NOWZ is expected to continue their global rise with their first mini-album 'IGNITION', set for release on July 9 at 6 PM.
