🌶 'HOT SAUCE': A Spicy Dose of 80s Hip-Hop Energy

Released on July 1 at 6 PM KST, "HOT SAUCE" is a pre-release single that reimagines the old-school hip-hop vibes of the 1980s with a fresh, Gen Z twist. The playful lyrics compare bold, self-assured energy to spicy food — and BABYMONSTER serve it with full attitude.

Their trademark rap flows inject high-octane energy into the track, while their crisp, refreshing vocals bring a summer-ready charm. The result? A sonic sizzle that's impossible to ignore.
