XG will release “UNDEFEATED,” a collaboration single with Riot Games’ FPS game “VALORANT” on Friday, April 12.
The collaboration will help promote the Asia-Pacific regional league “VCT Pacific 2024,” one of the official world championships of “VALORANT” held by Riot Games, “VALORANT Champions Tour 2024” (VCT).
The song features a heavy bass line, minimalist drums, and dreamy synthesizers, with a challenging message of “never be afraid and always win. The song is energized by those who are not afraid to take on challenges through the unique vocals of the XG members.

We want to bring deep emotion and excitement to “VALORANT” players and all music lovers around the world, and we want listeners to feel the spirit of UNDEFEATED, as the song’s title suggests, while working on “UNDEFEATED”. Through this collaboration, I hope that everyone, including the members and players of ALPHAZ, will feel the spirit of dreaming, challenging and winning the competition – just like XG. I believe that the hard work and dedication that artists show on stage is the same as that of players striving to win their competitions, and I hope that you share XG’s and my unwavering determination to move forward, even if the road ahead is a difficult one. I also hope that this collaboration will be a great gift to the VALORANT Champions Tour Pacific League and that we can bring the unique synergy of music to our fans around the world.
