Grammy-Nominated Audrey Nuna Debuts New Single "superHuman"
GRAMMY-nominated Korean-American artist and songwriter Audrey Nuna debuted "superHuman" via Republic Records on September 7, marking her first solo release since TRENCH in 2024. Created alongside renowned producer Cirkut (who has worked with artists like Rihanna, Lady Gaga, The Weeknd), "superHUman" is a progressive rap anthem fueled by fearless confidence, futuristic swagger, and an unstoppable mindset, exploring the tension between achieving extraordinary external validation and staying grounded in one's humanity.
Audrey Nuna showcases her signature lyrical precision and commanding presence while revealing a striking vulnerability, pairing striking verses with an ethereal, melodic bridge. Anchored by the defiant refrain, "I'm on my superHuman shit," and the fearless declaration, "Hey world, hit me with whatever you got," the song moves seamlessly from bold declarations of style to imagery drawn from the natural world. "superHUman" captures the full scope of Audrey's artistry.
The release also marked Audrey Nuna's second collaboration with VALORANT, partnering with Riot Games to serve as an official track for the 2026 VALORANT Champions Tour (VCT) Pacific, the premier competitive VALORANT circuit in Asia Pacific. The collaboration follows "Toxic," which Audrey produced with KiNg MALA.
Speaking about the track, Audrey said:
"superHUman is a portal. I wrote this song [during] a time in my life where a lot was changing very quickly, and I felt more perceived by the world than I ever had before. I wanted to capture that feeling—of redemption, of validation, of the tides finally turning. In the same breath, I wanted to quietly remind myself and others to stay human, stay open, to flow like water through all of the changes and that being more human will always be a superpower if we allow it."
The release followed a breakout year for Audrey Nuna. As the singing voice of Mira in the global phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters, she introduced her distinctive vocal style to millions of new listeners and became one of the awards season's most talked-about fashion standouts. She earned acclaim for a bold, intentional visual identity that matched her artistic vision. From a black and white ensemble at the Golden Globes, to bold lip color on several occasions, Audrey Nuna has not shied away from making a statement with her outfits. With "superHUman," Audrey channeled that momentum back into her own music, ushering in a new era centered on her solo artistry. With an evolved sonic direction, elevated live performances, and a growing global audience, she continues to carve out a space entirely her own. She does so by pushing the boundaries of hip-hop, pop, and alternative R&B with the singular confidence that has defined her career from the start.
