New singer-songwriter KAYA shows off her musical prowess with her new song, “ROCKSTAR.”

“ROCKSTAR,” which will be released at noon on the 22nd, is a song with an attractive, light-hearted synth sound based on a band sound, completed with a memorable chorus and iconic guitar sounds.

This song, which shows KAYA‘s musical identity in a new way, brightly and confidently depicts the process of becoming the subject of admiration, overflowing with positivity and energy. It is also a song that completes the excitement of newness, the will not to give up, and the heart of an artist walking toward her dream step by step with lovely vocals. Kaya’s bright and cheerful musical colors are captivating, with her vocals conveying happiness to all who listen.

This song was produced by 20Hz Sounds, who has collaborated with various artists including Seventeen, Suho, Mijoo, Super Junior, and Kim Na-young. Kaya devoted herself to creating the story she wanted to tell the world in her own style. Kaya participated in writing the lyrics to approach the song‘s theme and sincerity.

Kaya, who debuted in April of last year with ‘Past You’ after going through the idol trainee process, said, “I think I have two voice tones. I often hear people say that my husky voice sounds like a child singing in sadness. I also like that tone, so I’m trying to bring it to life,” she said. “The new song ‘Rockstar’ focused on bringing out a bright and cute tone, so it was a unique and fun recording process.”

IX Entertainment, her agency, said, “Kaya, who dreams of new changes and leaps forward, will gain musical response and empathy from everyone who sings about their dreams through her new single ‘Rockstar’,” and asked for support for the new song.
