“Girls on Fire in Tokyo” is a mini-album featuring Japanese versions of their existing tracks alongside the new song “Girls on Fire,” produced to commemorate their pre-debut in Japan.
The title track, “Girls on Fire,” is a club banger built on a bass house sound. It features an intense sound characterized by a heavy bassline combined with dynamic rhythms.
Their agency, Bby Entertainment, stated, “Composer NIOZEWAVE, who has produced numerous hit songs in Japan, participated in both the lyrics and composition,” adding, “By blending EXIN’s musical style with local Japanese sensibilities, the track successfully balances familiarity with uniqueness.”
Since debuting in April 2023, EXIN has promoted with songs such as “KEEPING THE FIRE,” “SYNCHRONIZE,” “NO DOUBT,” “ACHA%,” “Attention Seeker,” and “Dazzle Flash.”
B-by Entertainment stated, “EXIN is set to make a strong impression in the Japanese music market by showcasing their new song alongside their signature powerful performances.”
