K-pop rock band Xdinary Heroes will release a new digital single in July, turning up the heat this summer with a blast of high-energy rock.

JYP Entertainment unveiled visual artwork for the single “FiRE (My Sweet Misery)” through the band’s official social media accounts on Wednesday, followed by a mood film at noon teasing the track’s theme and atmosphere.

While the artwork features striking portraits of members Gunil, Jungsu, Gaon, O.de, Jun Han, and Jooyeon in a bold and experimental concept, the accompanying mood film leans into a mysterious tone with stylized visual direction.

The group will perform the new track live for the first time during their upcoming summer concert series, “Xdinary Heroes Summer Special: The Xcape,” scheduled for July 4-6 at SK Olympic Handball Gymnasium in the Songpa District of Seoul.

The shows mark the band’s first solo performance at the venue, and they are expected to bring peak energy with the debut of “FiRE (My Sweet Misery).”

Xdinary Heroes has earned a reputation for electrifying live shows, both at home and abroad. Their ongoing world tour, “Beautiful Mind,” has taken them to stages around the globe.

On July 31, the band will make their Lollapalooza Chicago debut at Grant Park in Illinois, marking their first appearance at the iconic global music festival.
