"Temperature" is a digital single by Japanese dance and vocal group Psychic Fever from Exile Tribe, released on October 23, 2023, through LDH Records. It was later included on their extended play 99.9 Psychic Radio , released on January 19, 2024.
The song marks the group's first production in collaboration with hip-hop artist JP THE WAVY. [1]
Temperature is positioned as a love song that follows in the lineage of the group's pre-debut track Hotline. The track features festival-oriented heavy bass, Jersey drill beats, and stylish R&B chord progressions. [1]
JP THE WAVY's involvement came after producing Hotline (Remix) feat. JP THE WAVY, which led him to participate in the song's creation from the ground up. [2]
The lyrics express the warmth and heartbeat one feels when thinking about a loved one, even when apart. [3]
In an interview with Real Sound, the group explained that they held multiple creative discussions with JP THE WAVY during the songwriting process, reflecting each member's personality in the lyrics. JP THE WAVY also attended the recording sessions, offering guidance on vocal and rap delivery as well as choreography. [2]
Member Jimmy commented that the sound incorporates American trends such as Jersey drill and drill beats, while crafting a catchy topline to make the song accessible to listeners. [2]
A choreography video for Temperature was released on the same day as the single. [1]
The choreography was created by KAITA and KAZ the FIRE, both affiliated with the dance crew RIEHATATOKYO, which member Ryushin Handa belonged to prior to his debut. [4]
The song was first performed as a surprise during the Bangkok urban music festival OCTOPOP on October 21, 2023, two days before its official release. [5]
It was also selected as the ending theme for Yomiuri TV programming in November 2023. [6]
