“Woke Up” is a 2024 single by Japanese girl group XG. The song was announced on March 27, 2024 with a release date for May 21, 2024, at 12 AM in every time zone, Marking their very first release of the year.^[1] It is considered the group’s first song to be entirely composed of rapping.^[2] The song was a top-ten hit and certified gold in the group’s home country. It also topped the Japanese-language song charts of Brazil, Singapore, United Kingdom, United States, and worldwide outside Japan.

A remix of “Woke Up” with various Japanese and Korean rappers was released on September 20, 2024.^[3] The remix was subsequently included on XG’s second EP, Awe, which was released on November 8, 2024.^[4]

“Woke Up” is anchored by 808 bass and East Asian sounds.^[5] Jurin stated that the song’s lyrics are about “challenging the status quo and breaking those stereotypes and boundaries that are all around us.”^[6]

The song features entirely rap verses from the seven members of XG. According to Jurin, the song is “XG’s first all-rap song featuring all seven members.”^[7] Similarly, Maya specifically noted that it would be the first time that XG’s vocalists would be rapping. Chisa, a vocalist, noted that rapping was both fun and challenging.^[8]

The music video for “Woke Up” features XG’s seven members with “different coloured eyes, bold haircuts, grills and Y2K inspired alternative fashion looks,” as well as their transformation into “edgy, gothic wolves.”^[7] It also features a scene where member Cocona shaves her head.^[9] With regard to the choreography, “Woke Up” features less unified dancing and instead showcases “smaller groups” with “a lot of variation” in movement.^[6] The music video’s concept and design was spearheaded by South Korean photographer Cho Gi-seok.^[10]

Vogue Singapore called the music video “reminiscent of the days that K-pop used to carry with it that same defiant, rebellious energy; when each new-generation group laid bare their own version of theatrical beauty—the kind that would make a statement on its own,” specifically mentioning 2NE1 and F(x) as examples.^[10] Lifted wrote that “The storyline and graphics are Hollywood-esque as they transform into wolves ready to tear the party up.”^[11]

On September 20, 2024, XG released a remix of “Woke Up” featuring entirely new verses in English, Korean, and Japanese by Jay Park, OZworld, AKLO, Paloalto, Verbal, Awich, Tak, and Dok2.^[12] The remix was later included as the seventh track on XG’s second EP, Awe.^[13]

In Tokyo, Japan, XG collaborated with fashion retail store GR8 on a “Woke Up” photo exhibition which was open on June 15–16, 2024 at the city’s GR8 location. Clothing merchandise was designed by Japanese artist Kosuke Kawamura.^[14]

Lauding “Woke Up” as “a pretty good song,” Stereogum observed the group’s “different ratatat flows” and “levels of charisma and energy,” comparing them to “early Brockhampton if they were all Japanese girls and if they had an absolutely unlimited music-video budget.”^[15]

InStyle noted that the song had “a darker, more menacing mood than the group has offered before.”^[16]
