HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys bring some hit songs in KPop Demon Hunters - here's a complete list of tracks

KPop Demon Hunters landed on Netflix on June 20, 2025, and quickly proved that animated musicals can still dominate the charts. The fantasy adventure follows Rumi, Mira and Zoey, collectively HUNTR/X, as they juggle idol life with covert demon‑slaying, while rival boy band the Saja Boys plot humanity’s downfall.

Directed by Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans for Sony Pictures Animation, the film features vocal performances from Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji‑young Yoo and Ahn Hyo‑seop, plus a soundtrack produced by K‑pop heavyweights Teddy Park, 24 and Ian Eisendrath.

The 12‑song album debuted at No. 8 and later climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard 200, the highest peak for an animated soundtrack since Encanto (2021). Key cuts- How It’s Done, Golden, Takedown and Your Idol, now fuel TikTok challenges and live fan covers, underscoring how KPop Demon Hunters has blurred the line between fiction and real‑world K‑pop culture.

The complete list of tracks of KPop Demon Hunters explored

1) Takedown (TWICE Version)

Jeongyeon, Jihyo and Chaeyoung close the film with a punchy remix that rolls over the credits while behind‑the‑scenes footage plays. Lindgren’s thunderous production keeps the energy high, and fans launched a #TakedownChallenge that helped the single top TikTok’s global sounds chart within a week of release.

2) How It’s Done – HUNTR/X

The opening fight aboard a private jet introduces HUNTR/X and their signature girl‑crush sound. Executive producer Ian Eisendrath explained the song's significance, telling Netflix Tudum as per their report dated July 17, 2025,

"It was so important that we had something that felt like a K-pop hit [and] felt like when you first heard BLACKPINK,...It had to have that energy, it had to set up a unique sonic world for these three girls and how they sing together, and it also had to be a banging opening number that everyone just was drawn into,"

3) Soda Pop - Saja Boys

Bubble‑gum hooks disguise sinister intent as the demons debut in a Seoul street market. Eisendrath told Tudum that the goal of the song was to create a bubble gum K-pop boy band thematic track. He stated,

"(the goal of the song was to)create one of those super bubblegum-y K-pop boy band songs in the style of a song like ‘Butter’ [by BTS]."

4) Golden - HUNTR/X

An aspirational “I want” anthem that frames the trio’s quest for perfection. Lush synth pads and layered vocals mirror glittering stage outfits that later fall apart, symbolizing the cost of chasing an impossible dream.

5) Strategy- TWICE

A licensed solo version of TWICE’s 2024 hit underscores the group’s stay‑cation interlude. It's breezy tempo contrasts with the surrounding chaos, giving the characters (and viewers) 168 seconds of pure pop respite.

6) Takedown - HUNTR/X

Written as a diss track before the Idol Awards, this furious rap‑rock hybrid scores the high‑speed train battle. Eisendrath told Tudum regarding Takedown,

"They’re writing a song that is going to express their rage, their vengeance, and what they're going to do to these demons that are not only threatening the world, but also their careers,"

7) Your Idol - Saja Boys

A dark electro‑chant performed in Namsan Stadium to summon the demon king Gwi‑Ma. Hollow synths and reversed choir samples hint at mind control, pushing the crowd toward disaster until HUNTR/X intervene.

8) Free - EJAE & Andrew Choi

This tender duet lets Rumi offer redeemed demon Jinu a new start. Sparse piano, subtle strings and breathy harmonies make it the soundtrack’s emotional fulcrum and the fans’ choice for wedding playlists.

9) What It Sounds Like- HUNTR/X

The climactic stadium anthem begins as Rumi’s solo “battle cry” and crescendos into a crowd chant that literally shatters demonic illusions. Layered vocoder effects nod to Imogen Heap’s “Hide and Seek,” according to the directors.

10) Love, Maybe- MeloMance

A gentle indie‑folk ballad licensed to score Rumi and Jinu’s first meeting. Its acoustic warmth contrasts with the film’s high‑gloss pop, grounding their relationship in quiet sincerity.

11) Path- Jokers

Haunting vocals and minor‑key strings accompany Rumi’s darkest moment of doubt. Clocking in at 3:41, it provides the soundtrack’s longest reflective stretch before the final showdown.

12) Score Suite - Marcelo Zarvos

The only purely instrumental cue stitches together leitmotifs from every song, fusing trap beats with full orchestra to underscore the closing demon‑hunter ritual and set up a potential sequel tease.

Cast and production snapshot

KPop Demon Hunters is produced by Sony Pictures Animation, with Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans directing, and Ian Eisendrath overseeing music. Praising the blend of narrative and chart‑ready hooks, Eisendrath said, as cited in the Netflix Tudum report dated July 17, 2025,

“I’ve always thought of K-pop as the most theatrical genre of pop, and so I was just instantly excited by the possibilities of what could happen in a narrative context with the K-pop songs [and] incorporating actual, hit-making K-pop artists. I just felt like everything was really set up to be a special musical and narrative experience.”

Arden Cho, May Hong, Ji‑young Yoo and Ahn Hyo‑seop headline a voice roster rounded out by Lee Byung‑hun, TWICE, MeloMance and veteran singer Lea Salonga.
