Fresh off a stunning debut performance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Hunter/X, the trio of Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, have released “Golden (Glowin’ Version),” a radiant new take on their record-breaking single, produced by Ian Eisendrath, John Nathaniel, IDO, 24, and Teddy, out now via Visva/Republic Records. The new version invites listeners back into the emotional core of a song that has already become one of the defining musical moments of the decade.
“Golden” first appeared on ‘KPop Demon Hunters (Soundtrack From The Netflix Film)’ and rapidly became the No. 1 most-streamed song globally of 2025 according to Luminate’s year-end charts. It held the No. 1 position on the Billboard Hot 100 for eight consecutive weeks, making history as the first female K-pop song ever to reach the top of that chart, while also securing the longest No. 1 reign of the 21st century by a female group. Simultaneously, the track sat at No. 1 on the Billboard Global Excl. US for 20 weeks, the longest-running No. 1 in that chart’s history, and climbed to the top of Top 40 radio.
The album behind it has matched that momentum beat for beat. ‘KPop Demon Hunters (Soundtrack From The Netflix Film)’ spent two weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and an extraordinary 26 weeks at No. 1 on the Soundtracks chart, landing as the biggest soundtrack release of 2025 by year-to-date album consumption. “Golden (Glowin’ Version)” now extends that story, offering a new dimension to a song that has already rewritten what is possible for a K-pop act on the global stage.
