Explaining why she wanted to integrate elements of rap into her music, she explained: \u201cSometimes there\u2019s a lot of words that I want to say.

And quite frankly, I didn\u2019t even know how to even begin to try to fit into those boxes,\u201d Nuna shared.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo to receive this honour and represent a song in a film that affirms this notion that the world needs women to show up as their fullest, most whole selves, their weirdest selves, their smelliest selves, whatever it is, it\u2019s rewarding beyond words.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"td_block_wrap tdb_single_tags tdi_87 td-pb-border-top td_block_template_2\" data-td-block-uid=\"tdi_87\">\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner

\u2018Trench\u2019 in 2024, and reached new artistic heights by providing the singing voice of Mira in the hit film <em>KPop Demon Hunters<\/em>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad0

music, she has released the standalone single via Republic Records, and it embraces themes of redemption, validation and more.<\/p>\n<p>Made alongside renowned producer Cirkut (Rihanna, Lady Gaga), \u2018superHUman\u2019 keeps with Nuna\u2019s theme of blending genres, and incorporates bold nods to rap, pop, and R&amp;B as she belts the line \u201c<em>Hey world, hit me with whatever you got<\/em>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c\u2018SuperHuman\u2019 is a portal,\u201d the singer shared. \u201cI wrote this song in a time in my life where a lot was changing very quickly, and I felt more perceived by the world than I ever had before.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI wanted to capture that feeling \u2013 of redemption, of validation, of the tides finally turning. In the same breath, I wanted to quietly remind myself and others to stay human, stay open, to flow like water through all of the changes and that being more human will always be a superpower if we allow it.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad1 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\"><\/span><\/p>\n<h5 class=\"taboola-mid-article-title\">Recommended<\/h5>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\">\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>The single comes in collaboration with Riot Games and marks Nuna\u2019s second collaboration with VALORANT \u2013 serving as an official track for the 2026 VALORANT Champions Tour.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, Nuna launched her solo live show at Rock in Rio Lisboa, and since then has gone on to make appearances at Summerfest, Open\u2019er Festival, Roskilde Festival, Ruisrock and more.<\/p>\n<p>The live shows continue this month with two shows at Japan\u2019s Summer Sonic Festival, a slot at Frequency Festival in Austria, and Pukkelpop in Belgium.

Explaining why she wanted to integrate elements of rap into her music, she explained: \u201cSometimes there\u2019s a lot of words that I want to say. When you\u2019re writing a melody you have to fit what you\u2019re trying to say into a concise amount.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"td-a-ad id_inline_ad2 id_ad_content-horiz-center\"><span class=\"td-adspot-title\">Advertisement<\/span>  <\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-article-2\" class=\"lazy-ad\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>That same year, her album \u2018A Liquid Breakfast\u2019 dropped and was given a glowing four-star review from <em>NME<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPushing creative boundaries is an important part of Audrey Nuna\u2019s artistry and \u2018A Liquid Breakfast\u2019 puts her under the spotlight as someone with both fresh ideas and the talent to make them glow,\u201d it read. \u201c\u2018Everybody knows my name, what you want?\u2019 she spits at one point on \u2018Damn Right\u2019, a satire about people\u2019s love of talking shit.
