Killin’ It Girl was released on June 13, 2025, as the final song released by the BTS member during his Hope on the Stage world tour. The song features American rapper GloRilla and marks her first collaboration with the K-pop idol.

A solo version was released simultaneously featuring the BTS member alone. In the first verse, J-Hope expresses his feelings toward his new love interest:

"Runway ready, gotta get some confetti/ 'Cause we gotta celebrate like it's your birthday (Woo)/ Looking like a twenty, from Korea to Miami/ Oh, I wanna get with you in the worst way (Woo)/ It should be a crime just to look that fine (Ah-ah-ah-ah)/ Girl, if you single, let me make you mine (Ah-ah-ah-ah)/ Call a nurse before it gets worse (Ah-ah-ah-ah)/ I'ma really, rеally need first aid,"

GloRilla hops on the second verse to drop bars as she introduces herself as the most fabulous chick on the block:

"Might take your man and tell you go take it to trial (Bi***)/ I'm dead serious, the baddest chick alive (Hey)/ Baddies get inspired, bottles gettin' poured up/ He must be a tire, the way he tryin' to roll up lawyers gettin' hired, they know I'd be killin' it/ Blood on the scene (Oh-oh-oh)."
