Happy Tuesday! Joining the #TTT or #ThreeTuneTuesday🤘🏻, thanks to 
Music is always with me when I run or go to the gym. Most of the time, I just play whatever random playlist I find on Spotify, YouTube Music, or Apple Music. Just something to keep my energy up. But sometimes the songs just don’t hit, and that really messes with my mood. So I finally made my own workout playlist. And while checking it, I noticed I’ve added a lot of XG songs 😂
I first found out about XG while randomly scrolling through TikTok sometime in late 2022 or early 2023. I actually don’t even remember exactly 😅 It was a clip of them dancing to Left Right, and ever since, I’ve been hooked. Their songs have been stuck in my head ever since, especially when I’m trying to finish a tough routine.
XG is a Japanese girl group with seven members based in South Korea. I actually thought they were all Korean at first! They debuted in March 2022, but I only discovered them a few months later. Their music is a mix of R&B, pop, and hip-hop, just the kind of vibe I need during workouts.
Here are the three XG songs that I keep coming back to:
🎶 Left Right
I got what you want, I got what you need (uh-huh)
Mobbin' like we don't follow anything, oh
Left, right, get it on the floor
I wanna see you left, right get in my zone, ha
This was the very first song I heard from them. It’s super catchy and totally LSS-worthy. The music video has this cool, futuristic feel with early 2000s R&B/hip-hop vibes which reminds me of TLC!
🎶 IYKYK
If you know you know
Tell me if you wanna ride
Faster than a speed of light
Only we can get it right (get it right, get it right)
“IYKYK” stands for “If You Know, You Know.” This one gives me that extra boost I need, especially when I’m starting to feel tired. It has this confident vibe and singing along to it mid-workout is sooo satisfying. Iykyk 😉
🎶 Cover of No Scrubs by TLC
No, I don't want your number
No, I don't want to give you mine and
No, I don't want to meet you nowhere
No, don't want none of your time
XG members Juria, Chisa, and Hinata did a medley of covers and for me, this one stood out. Their version of TLC’s “No Scrubs” is so smooth. I just wish they’d release a full version! I like listening to this one while I’m cooling down.
Do you listen to XG too? Do you have any recommendations for my workout playlist?
Loved these tunes?
