The singer just released her new single Weekend together with the music video on July 6, at 6 pm KST. After it was launched, the song hit No.1 on various music streaming sites such as Genie, Bugs and VIBE.

Weekend also topped iTunes Top Songs charts in 14 different regions including the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Chile, Peru, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, Vietnam, Hong Kong, Cambodia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Luxembourg. In China, it is ranked No.1 on QQ Music’s digital album sales chart.

Weekend is a disco-pop genre song with bright guitar and retro synth sounds. The lyrics express the wish to escape the dullness of everyday life and enjoy a carefree weekend, as reported by Soompi.
