The song "Racecar" by the group izna has been included in the "Top 25 K-pop Songs of the Year" selected by the British music magazine NME. Through its official website, NME chose "Racecar" as the best K-pop song of 2025, reaffirming izna's global influence.

NME described "Racecar" as "a perfect soundtrack for a road trip at sunset that evokes special emotions." They added, "The song gradually builds up and then explodes all at once in a chorus filled only with synths. Just when it seems the song is ending, a richer sound continues, naturally leading listeners into their dreamy world," emphasizing the musical completeness and sensory appeal.

"Racecar" is a track from izna's second mini-album, Not Just Pretty. The song expresses the youthful energy of fearlessly pursuing dreams like a racing car speeding forward.

Recently, izna was interviewed by the Italian weekly magazine PANORAMA and was praised as "the discovery K-POP has been waiting for." Within just one year of debut, they surpassed 100 million cumulative streams on the world's largest music streaming platform, Spotify, establishing themselves as a "global super rookie."

izna will perform at the 2025 Music Bank Global Festival IN JAPAN, held over two days on the 13th and 14th. They plan to continue various activities through the end of the year, showcasing solid live skills and performances.
