Every Song in KPop Demon Hunters

HUNTR/X carry four of the songs in KPop Demon Hunters and the Saja Boys two, with one duet between the two sides, and the film uses that imbalance as structure. Nearly every song is doing narrative work: establishing the group, staging the rivalry, breaking Rumi open. Below is what is performed, and by whom, keeping the speaking cast and the singing cast separate, because on this film they are not the same people.

The HUNTR/X tracks

Rumi, Mira and Zoey are voiced in dialogue by Arden Cho, May Hong and Ji-young Yoo. Their singing voices are EJAE (Rumi), Audrey Nuna (Mira) and REI AMI (Zoey). So matching a voice to a face while listening to the album takes a moment.

"How It's Done" is the opening statement, the group in full demon-hunting mode. "Golden" is the film's centerpiece and its biggest hit, the song that reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 and pulled the rest of the soundtrack up with it. "Takedown" is the aggressive one, written inside the film to expose the Saja Boys, and its demon-hating lyrics are what drive the wedge between Rumi and the other two. It exists in two versions: the HUNTR/X performance, and an end credits version recorded by Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung of TWICE. "What It Sounds Like" is the closing number, the one that only works after everything the film has spent ninety-five minutes setting up.

EJAE, who sings Rumi, is also among the credited writers on the soundtrack. She has said she wrote "Your Idol" looking at Exo's "Mama" and at Christian hymns, which is a stranger pair of references than the finished track lets on.

The Saja Boys, and the one song that crosses the line

The rival boy band arrives with "Soda Pop", deliberately sweet and deliberately shallow, and closes with "Your Idol", which drops the act entirely. The Saja Boys are five, and each is cast twice: Andrew Choi sings Jinu, whose speaking voice is Ahn Hyo-seop; samUIL Lee sings Romance Saja for Joel Kim Booster; Kevin Woo sings Mystery Saja for Alan Lee; Neckwav sings Abby Saja for SungWon Cho; and Danny Chung is Baby Saja, doing both jobs, including the rap verses in the middle of "Soda Pop".

"Free" is the outlier, a duet between Rumi and Jinu performed by EJAE and Andrew Choi. It is the only track where the two sides of the film sing together rather than at each other,.

Behind the songs sit Teddy Park, co-founder of The Black Label, Lindgren, Ian Eisendrath as executive music producer, and a writing bench that includes Danny Chung and Mark Sonnenblick. The orchestral score, separate from the songs, is by Marcelo Zarvos.

What the album includes beyond the film

The soundtrack release carries the performed songs plus score cues, and it also includes "Strategy" by TWICE. Track order on the album does not follow the film's running order exactly, so listeners going in cold should not treat the sequence as a plot outline.

As for what comes next, Sony Pictures Animation has a sequel in development with a 2029 target, and the studio has itself described that date as optimistic. No songs, performers or songwriters for it have been announced. Netflix has not said whether any of the HUNTR/X or Saja Boys vocalists will return, and there is no announced release for new music tied to the sequel. Anything circulating with track titles attached to it is not coming from the studio.
