Killin' It Girl (feat. GloRilla)

The song

‘Killin’ It Girl (feat. GloRilla)’ is a j-hope digital single released on 13 June 2025. The album information page credits it to j-hope and GloRilla.

The album introduction calls it a hip hop track built on an insistent hook, about the moment of being drawn to someone at first sight, and says an arrangement without excess keeps his rapping in the foreground. It is the last song in the run of solo singles he began in March, and j-hope is credited on it as he was on Sweet Dreams (feat. Miguel) and MONA LISA.

Reviews

IZM’s Park Si-hoon reviewed the song 11 days after release. He wrote that the run of singles j-hope had been releasing since March is about building his own character steadily, apart from the autobiographical argument of the solo album, and that the new song follows that aim.

On the people around it, the same review said that producers including Pdogg, a long-standing collaborator, and Cirkut, who also worked on Jung Kook’s album, gave the track a settled footing, and that GloRilla — by now established as a mainstream rapper on the Billboard charts — took the baton from Miguel on ‘Sweet Dreams’ and added firepower. Of the sound it wrote that a sharp hip hop production stands for what this run of activity is about, and that the synthesiser added under the chorus leaves the structure without a gap.

Around it

By the album introduction the main producer is Cirkut, who has worked with Lady Gaga, Miley Cyrus, Maroon 5 and Sam Smith. GloRilla, who features, is an American rapper.

‘Killin’ It Girl (Solo Version)’, which carries j-hope’s voice alone, came out the same day. The music video also went up on the HYBE LABELS channel on the day of release; the introduction says it runs mostly in black and white with strongly contrasting colour set into individual scenes. GloRilla appears in it.
