Following her viral moment where she was featured on TikTok's E-trike karaoke, she dropped her single 'Rocket Science' that's the perfectly glitter-drenched, dance-pop anthem made for introverts who love deeply.

XTIE’s viral E-Trike Karaoke cover of “Good Luck, Babe!” wowed fans worldwide with her high notes and unique tone. Despite modestly rating herself 6.21/10, fans praised her performance and called for more as they commented "We’ve been fed so well by XTIE the producer, we forgot she can really sing."

'Rocket Science' presents an irresistibly catchy chorus that melts with the dance-pop foundation of the track to create an energetic tune that lifts spirits, elevating the track into a vibrant summer banger. The track honors the silent strength of those who feel deeply, set boundaries, and put themselves first.

XTIE explains the concept of the song, expressing, “In many Asian cultures, self-expression through movement is often more subtle and private. Growing up, freely dancing or showing emotions openly felt natural but quiet. Many feel a gentle shyness about stepping into the spotlight or moving boldly in public, that’s why 'Rocket Science' is my dance pop for introverts, a safe space for those who feel deeply but don’t always need to be loud… even the music is loud haha.”

Written and produced by XTIE, the eurodance-infused synth-house track was co-produced by acclaimed Finnish electronic artist Alisky and co-written with Polish sugar-pop innovator Marie, who also collaborated on XTIE's EP Xmas Night Shift. The song was created during a songwriting camp in the South of France.

“We’ve glamorized emotional confusion,” XTIE adds. “But real love shouldn’t feel like a puzzle. If they’re confused, let them be confused. You don’t have to shrink or wait.”

Marking the release of 'Rocket Science', XTIE will be releasing an exclusive 'Rocket Science' ice cream on 23 August.

'Rocket Science' is a track for the quiet lovers, who find confidence in silent contemplation—empowering them through this carefree anthem for owning your space wherever you feel most yourself.
