ILLIT’s I Got Your Back chosen as opening song for ABEMA drama Vacation Law
ILLIT‘s Japanese single title track “I Got Your Back” has been chosen as the opening song for the ABEMA original drama ‘Vacation Law.’
HYBE Music Group label BELIFT LAB confirmed on July 22 that ILLIT’s second Japanese single album, also titled ‘I Got Your Back,’ will feature the title track as the official soundtrack for the Japanese OTT platform’s series.
The five-member group — Yunah, Minju, Moka, Wonhee, and Iroha — will reach new audiences in Japan with the placement.
“I Got Your Back” is described as a rock-infused track that explores the comfort of steadfast friendship amid daily anxieties and pressures. ILLIT delivers a genuine message of solace through their expressive vocals.
“You are not alone,”
— ILLIT
‘Vacation Law’ follows Hoshino Midori, played by Japanese actress Hashimoto Kanna, who seeks respite from her demanding routine. During her vacation, Midori meets the enigmatic villa manager Nishigami, played by actor Chae Jong Hyeop, and discovers love and meaningful moments.
A preview video for ‘Vacation Law,’ released on July 21, already featured a snippet of “I Got Your Back,” its bright and cheerful melody matching the drama’s fresh atmosphere.
ILLIT will also be busy in Japan this summer. The group will wrap their ‘ILLIT LIVE ‘PRESS START♥︎’ in JAPAN’ tour with finale shows at Toyota Arena Tokyo on July 23, 25, and 26.
