(G)I-DLE's Yuqi Drops First Solo Single in a Year with 'Radio (Dum-Dum)'

(G)I-DLE's Yuqi has made a triumphant return with her new digital single, 'Radio (Dum-Dum)', her first solo release in a year. The song, which blends hip-hop and R&B with a medium-tempo boom bap rhythm, showcases Yuqi's signature husky mid-low voice over a backdrop of rhythmic acoustic guitar and bass lines. Inspired by the Y2K era's street radio culture, 'Radio (Dum-Dum)' captures the essence of longing for a past lover through the metaphor of a radio broadcast.

Originally debuted during (G)I-DLE's third world tour and later used in advertising, the track has been eagerly anticipated by fans for its official release. Yuqi shared her thoughts on the song's addictive melody and her unique vocal tone, revealing that if it had been created earlier, it might have competed for the title track of her first solo mini-album, 'YUQ1'.

Yuqi also expressed her gratitude towards her fans, known as Neverver, for their patience and support. She hopes that with the official release, fans will enjoy the track to the fullest. 'Radio (Dum-Dum)' not only highlights Yuqi's artistic growth but also her ability to connect with listeners through relatable themes and captivating music.
