Summer of 2025 marks the emergence of a fictional girl group
In a surprising turn of events, the catchy electropop tune "Golden" from the animated film "KPop Demon Hunters" has been declared the official summer hit of 2025. The song, with its driving beat and infectious melody, has conquered the top of the charts in several countries, including the USA, Britain, and Sweden.
Set in the exciting world of superstars who fill huge stadiums, "KPop Demon Hunters" tells a story with various fantasy elements. The K-Pop girl group Huntrix, consisting of Mira, Rumi, and Zoey, leads a double life as demon hunters in this animated film produced by Netflix.
The bilingual song "Golden" is sung by Ejae, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, the voices behind Huntrix. The track, which has been streamed nearly 30 million times in Germany alone, fulfills the most important criteria for a summer hit. With an easy-to-sing-along text, a catchy melody, and a rhythm that invites dancing, "Golden" has become the soundtrack to many summer parties and vacations.
The soundtrack of "KPop Demon Hunters" includes six songs that made it to the German Top 100, and the animated film has been a surprise hit on Netflix this summer. In fact, "KPop Demon Hunters" is on its way to becoming the most successful Netflix film of all time, with over 200 million views registered within two months.
This isn't the first time a song has captured the essence of summer and resonated across generations. Classics like "In the Summertime" by Mungo Jerry, "School’s Out" by Alice Cooper, and "Cruel Summer" and "Summer of '69" have all become soundtracks to memories of summer parties, vacations, and youth milestones. More recent hits like "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X and summer songs by artists like Drake have also defined summer playlists, showing how the concept of a “summer hit” evolves with popular music trends.
"Golden" joins these timeless classics as a testament to the power of music to reflect and shape the carefree, celebratory spirit of summer in popular culture. Whether it's the laidback, fun-loving vibe of "In the Summertime" or the hard rock energy of "School’s Out", these songs capture the essence of the season through infectious melodies and relatable themes.
As the summer of 2025 comes to a close, it's clear that "Golden" will be a song that will continue to echo in our memories, a soundtrack to a summer filled with excitement, adventure, and the infectious energy of "KPop Demon Hunters".
