“Takedown” was the lead single from the KPop Demon Hunters soundtrack. The soundtrack page identifies the release as the TWICE version of the song, performed by Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung.
The single was released on June 20, 2025, alongside the film and soundtrack album. It is distinct from “Golden,” which became the film’s most prominent chart and awards song, and from “Soda Pop,” which represents the Saja Boys. “What It Sounds Like” is another major HUNTR/X song but was not the lead single.
The track illustrates the soundtrack’s mixture of real performers and fictional groups. Although the story centers on animated idols, the production used established K-pop artists for selected recordings. That approach helped the film connect its invented music industry with the real-world K-pop audience while maintaining the narrative identities of HUNTR/X and the Saja Boys.
