Most recently, Steve Aoki and (G)I-DLE did a collaboration remix of the girl group’s recent hit “NXDE.”

“NXDE” made waves in the K-Pop world as (G)I-DLE used the song to break down “stereotypes” and to promote the acceptance of your authentic self.

Like our previous albums, this one is to beat the stereotypes.
