Le Sserafim unveiled its first English-language digital single "Perfect Night," Monday.

The girl group dropped a sneak peek of the track via the HYBE Labels YouTube channel and Source Music's official social media at midnight.

The preview video showcases Le Sserafim members cruising in a pink sports car. Accompanied by a two-step garage tune, the single's entrancing melody and catchy guitar riff are set to draw in listeners. Lyrics such as "Ooh by the morning, feel like magic" evoke a lively and fun scene of girls dancing and singing together at night.

Set to launch on Oct. 27, "Perfect Night" is Le Sserafim's first venture into English-language music. The single aims to convey that "imperfection can be turned into a joyous occasion when surrounded by friends."

The involvement of member Huh Yun-jin in penning the lyrics of "Perfect Night" is particularly noteworthy. Huh has been a consistent contributor to Le Sserafim's songwriting efforts since the group's debut last year, composing self-written tracks like "I ≠ DOLL" and "blessing in disguise" that reflect her personal experiences and viewpoints.

Further enhancing the project, executive producer Bang Si-hyuk and producer team 13, who have been collaborating frequently with Le Sserafim, will join forces again to bring "Perfect Night" to life, promising to offer a unique narrative on the group members' individuality.

Meanwhile, the quintet will continue to extend their global presence in the coming month with scheduled appearances at the Grammy Museum's popular online series Global Spin Live on Nov. 2 (local time) and BlizzCon 2023, the world’s largest gaming festival, held at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, Calif., Nov. 4 (local time).
