Audrey Nuna Returns With 'SuperHuman,' a Valorant Anthem Built on KPop Demon Hunters Momentum

Audrey Nuna will release her new solo single "SuperHuman" at midnight ET, her first release since her 2024 debut album Trench and her second tie-up with Riot Games' Valorant franchise. Variety
The New Jersey-born artist, signed to Republic Records, announced the track on August 7, 2026, via her official Instagram and Facebook accounts, describing it as a song "created amidst chaotic pockets of metamorphosis between award show performances and kpop demon hunters." Billboard, which published a feature on the single the same day, reports that "SuperHuman" will serve as an official track for the 2026 Valorant Champions Tour Pacific in Busan, South Korea.

Nuna crafted the song with Cirkut, the Grammy-winning producer whose credits span major pop hits, in only their second-ever session together. Billboard characterises the track as a high-octane, dance-infused rap number — a deliberate pivot as Nuna looks to recalibrate her sound and fanbase following a breakout stretch tied to animated film KPop Demon Hunters.
In that film, a Netflix release centred on HUNTR/X, a fictional K-pop girl group, Nuna provided the singing voice of Mira — the rebellious main dancer of HUNTR/X. Her speaking voice was performed by actor May Hong. Nuna shared vocal duties on the HUNTR/X songs with fellow singers EJAE and Rei Ami. People
The KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack has been a commercial force. It reached No. 1 on the Billboard 200, produced Billboard Hot 100 hits including the top 10 single "How It's Done," and includes "Golden," a chart-topping track that won both a Grammy and an Oscar. According to Luminate, the data firm that powers Billboard's charts, "Golden" has collected over 971.8 million official on-demand U.S. streams — the metric counting plays on ad-supported and paid subscription tiers. The soundtrack has spent 54 weeks at No. 1 on the Top Soundtracks chart and has amassed over 4 billion official streams. Billboard
Billboard named the three HUNTR/X singers — EJAE, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami — as its 2026 Women of the Year, recognising their collective impact across the soundtrack's run. Billboard
Nuna told Billboard that working on KPop Demon Hunters taught her songwriting structure and reinvigorated her love for pop music — a genre she moved away from on Trench, which leaned into rap and alternative textures and featured a Teezo Touchdown collaboration and an interpolation of Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine." Before Trench, Nuna released the 2021 EP A Liquid Breakfast, which included a Jack Harlow collaboration called "Comic Sans."
For Nuna, "SuperHuman" bridges two of her biggest platforms — the esports audience reached through Valorant and the film-music audience that made "Golden" a near-billion-stream hit. Whether it pulls both crowds toward a solo career distinct from the HUNTR/X project is the question the single's midnight release begins to answer.
