NMIXX officially unveiled the full tracklist for its fifth EP Heavy Serenade, confirming a six-track project set for release on May 11, 2026, at 6 PM KST alongside pre-save links.
Revealed via the group’s official channels, the tracklist highlights a stronger creative presence from both members and external collaborators. Lily is credited as the sole lyricist on “Loud,” while Bae takes part in writing “Different Girl.” The title track “Heavy Serenade” is penned by soloist Hanroro, one of the most acclaimed K-pop songwriters. On the production side, UPSAHL appears as a composer on “Loud,” bringing a Western pop sensibility into the mix.
The full tracklist reads: “Crescendo,” “Heavy Serenade,” “I Deserve It,” “Different Girl,” “Superior,” and “Loud.”
That direction builds on the concept first introduced through the album trailer released April 21. Visual cues pointed toward a whimsical fairytale aesthetic, blending romantic and mysterious elements into a more cohesive thematic arc. Compared to earlier releases, the project appears to lean further into storytelling, with the title itself hinting at a dramatic, almost orchestral tone.
Heavy Serenade follows the group’s first full-length album Blue Valentine, issued on October 13, 2025. The album peaked at No. 2 on Billboard’s World Albums chart and entered the Billboard 200 at No. 177, marking a key milestone in expanding their global footprint. Critical reception also leaned positive, particularly toward the group’s ability to merge experimental structures with accessible pop.
