Hearts2Hearts Drop Moonride, a Midnight Drive Anthem Made With Kia

Hearts2Hearts dropped their Kia collaboration single Moonride at 6 p.m. KST on September 9, giving fans a new electro-pop release tied to the car brand's RV Black Edition lineup.

The song layers a bright, bouncy beat under hazy synth textures and the group's signature warm vocals. Thematically, it captures the feeling of slipping out of ordinary routine on a spontaneous late-night drive, that mix of restlessness and quiet freedom when the world outside feels a little unreal. It's the kind of mood Hearts2Hearts have been quietly building toward all year, and the collaboration context actually suits it well rather than feeling like a detour.

SM Entertainment described the track as a chance for Hearts2Hearts' "mysterious and playful charm" to meet Kia's "refined sensibility" in the Black Edition, with both sides bringing something visually and sonically distinct to the pairing.

The music video and Seoul pop-up

A music video went live on the group's official YouTube channel alongside the audio release. SM describes it as colorful and visually striking, leaning into the dreamlike atmosphere of the song rather than going for a straightforward car-commercial aesthetic.

From September 9 through the 13th, Kia Unplugged Ground in Seoul's Seongdong-gu is hosting a pop-up to mark the collaboration. Visitors can see behind-the-scenes stills from the music video shoot, along with the outfits and props the members wore and used during filming.

The group had already been named as models for Kia's Black Edition before the single's announcement, so Moonride deepens what has become a full campaign partnership rather than a one-off product placement.

A strong year for Hearts2Hearts

The release adds another chapter to a genuinely busy 2026 for Hearts2Hearts. The group made an impression earlier this year with the single RUDE! and their second mini-album Lemon Tang, and they wrapped special promotions centered on Lemon Tang track 15-LOVE after the album cycle. They also launched their Japan career with debut single ICONIC HEART, marking their first official foray into the Japanese market.

Moonride is out now on major streaming platforms.
