Globally Popular Girls Group XG Releases Performance Video for 3rd Single ‘SHOOTING STAR’
09.March.2023 | MUSIC
On January 25, 2023, XG returned with their third single SHOOTING STAR.
The music video for the new track has racked up over 13 million views in its first two weeks of release. SHOOTING STAR has ranked in the top spot in 25 countries and regions, including the U.K., Canada, and Japan. The song ranked #3 in the United States and took the #1 spot in the worldwide music video ranking.
Following this incredible success, the group has released the performance video for SHOOTING STAR on their official YouTube channel. While the previous performance video for MASCARA was shot in an abandoned factory, the new video for SHOOTING STAR was shot on a stage surrounded by twinkling lights and a ceiling like a starry sky. Given the song’s title and message, it’s extremely fitting.
