XG have officially kicked off their debut album era with their brand-new single ‘GALA’, released today alongside its striking music video. The track is the lead single from the group’s long-awaited first full-length album, set to drop on 23 January 2026.
‘GALA’ is a high-energy, runway-ready anthem layered with futuristic synths, house rhythms, and XG’s signature bilingual rap flows. Opening with a cinematic descent-from-space intro, the track builds into a pulsating performance piece that reimagines the world of fashion through XG’s bold, genre-bending lens.
The music video transforms a high-fashion gala into XG’s own X GALA. From awakening in futuristic capsules to descending on Earth as the centre of attention, the members command a surreal, otherworldly runway that blurs fantasy and reality. With daring styling and cinematic flair, the video positions XG not just as performers, but as the main event.
‘GALA’ also marks the first taste of XG’s highly anticipated debut album. The group first revealed the news during their headlining set at a-nation 2025, sending fans into a frenzy. Earlier this year, XG also made history as the only Japanese artists to perform at Coachella 2025, where they headlined the Sahara stage to international acclaim.
