TWICE teams up with Saweetie for new single 'Superstars'

TWICE is set to collaborate with American rapper Saweetie on the upcoming single 'Superstars', scheduled for release on August 1, 2025 (KST). The announcement, made through Saweetie’s official channels on July 25 (KST), was met with enthusiastic responses from global fans.

This collaboration brings together TWICE’s bright, high-energy pop style and Saweetie’s confident rap, forming a cross-genre partnership that may serve as a meaningful career move for both acts. For TWICE, it marks a step toward engaging with the U.S. hip-hop audience, while Saweetie is expected to reach a broader international fanbase through the global appeal of K-pop.

A behind-the-scenes video filmed at the JYP Entertainment headquarters also drew attention. The video shows Saweetie dancing with TWICE members, in what appears to be a casual and collaborative setting. The footage offered fans a glimpse into the preparation process and the interaction between the artists.

Before the official announcement, fans had already speculated about a potential collaboration after Saweetie posted a short video of herself dancing to TWICE’s 'This Is For' on social media. The post prompted a wave of predictions, which were later confirmed by the news of 'Superstars'.

The project is also being noted for its cultural significance. By combining elements of K-pop and American hip-hop, 'Superstars' reflects ongoing trends of musical convergence across regions and genres. With the rising global influence of K-pop, the single is expected to gain attention both in Korea and internationally.
