"Killin' It Girl" is a song by South Korean rapper J-Hope of BTS featuring American rapper GloRilla,released on June 13,2025. It was produced by Cirkut,Blake Slatkin and Inverness.
J-Hope announced the song on May 28,2025.

A solo version without GloRilla was released alongside the song. [1]
In an interview with People ,J-Hope described the song was "about an emotional rush and magnetic pull toward someone. So I'd love for it to feel bold,sensual,and have that kind of energy that makes you want to play the track on repeat." He added,"Lately,I've been especially drawn to artists whose powerful presence truly stands out. I was confident that GloRilla's presence on the track would bring exceptional synergy." [2]
The song begins with a "spare but propulsive" beat that builds toward the chorus,with a later addition of pop synths. [3] The artists perform in a hip-hop flow. [4] The lyrics depict J-Hope falling in love at first sight and detail his infatuation, [1] [3] [4] [5] while GloRilla plays the role of a confident seductress. [1] [3] [4]
Michael Saponara of Billboard gave a positive review,writing "j-hope delivers a fiery verse while crafting a seductive chorus and then Big Glo invades the minimalistic production with her gritty Memphis flow,making for a delectable clash." [5]
The music video was directed by Cody Critcheloe and released alongside the single. J-Hope and GloRilla filmed their parts in two different places,with a black cat serving as the connection between them. [3]
