Produced by Grammy-winning hitmaker Cirkut, the single also signals the beginning of what the artist describes as an entirely new creative era.

Audrey Nuna begins a new chapter with Republic Records
For Audrey Nuna, joining Republic Records represents more than a new recording contract. The singer says the partnership reflects a shared vision for music and creativity as she prepares to introduce fans to her next body of work. Speaking about the signing, Nuna said, “I’m honored to work with a partner that believes in investing in the future of music and culture.”
Her first release under the label, superHuman, has been created alongside Grammy-winning producer Cirkut, whose credits include collaborations with some of the biggest names in pop music. The song serves as the official launch of Nuna’s next artistic phase, following several years of steadily expanding her audience through solo releases and high-profile collaborations.
Explaining the inspiration behind the single, Nuna described the song as deeply personal. She said, “I 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.” She continued, “I wanted to capture that feeling – 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.”
From KPop Demon Hunters to Valorant
Audrey Nuna’s profile has grown significantly since becoming the voice of Mira in KPop Demon Hunters.

Her latest single superHuman has been selected as an official track for the 2026 Valorant Champions Tour (VCT), marking her second partnership with the popular esports title after contributing Toxic earlier this year. The collaboration further strengthens her presence across both music and gaming audiences.
The 27-year-old first launched her recording career in 2018 with independently released music before later signing with Arista Records. She went on to release two projects under the label, including her 2024 album Trench, steadily earning recognition for blending hip-hop, R&B and alternative pop influences into her sound.
