XG released "IYKYK", on Friday (Oct 11) the second pre-release track from their second&nbsp;mini-album, along with a music video on XG's official YouTube channel.

"IYKYK" is a song that expresses XG's desire to push boundaries, portraying the members exploring an infinite universe at lightspeed. The song carries a message of journeying together to new, distant dimensions.

The track samples m-flo's 2001 release, "prism" and incorporates rhythmic two-step beats, creating a floating sensation and building anticipation for the journey ahead. The chorus line goes, "IF YOU KNOW YOU KNOW," perfectly capturing the feeling: Those who understand will feel drawn to join XG on this journey to a new dimension.

The music video, also released today, takes a different approach from XG's previous videos. It shows the world from XG’s perspective, exploring how it appears through their eyes - at once mysterious and extraordinary. The video is built around the theme of ‘Sense mutation’ where each XG member's unique sensory distortion allows them to see the true light. This mystical concept is visually represented in the video, inviting fans to experience XG’s dreamscape.

XG is currently on their first world tour The first HOWL. They recently performed in Las Vegas on October 4. Their US tour crosses eight cities: Los Angeles, San Francisco, Grand Prairie, Sugar Land, Duluth, New York and Chicago.&nbsp;

Following the US tour, they will head to Europe, beginning in Manchester on November 18&nbsp;and performing in seven further cities including London, Berlin, Paris, Düsseldorf, Brussels and Amsterdam. In 2025, they will hold additional concerts in Japan, performing in Nagoya, Tokyo, Fukuoka, and Osaka, with a total of eight&nbsp;shows across these four&nbsp;cities.

XG's second mini-album, "AWE" featuring "IYKYK" will be released on November 8.
