Netflix’s animated smash hit K‑Pop: Demon Hunters (premiered June 20, 2025) isn’t just a visual thrill; in fact, it’s also a music powerhouse. Consequently, the soundtrack has taken over global streaming charts, thanks to standout original tracks from the fictional idol groups HUNTR/X and Saja Boys. Here’s why, for this reason, fans can’t stop replaying these tracks.
Top Demon Hunters Songs
- “Golden” – HUNTR/X
This anthem channels fierce unity and inner strength during a pivotal transformation scene. With vocals by EJAE, Audrey Nuna, and Rei Ami, it soared to No. 1 on Malaysia and US Spotify charts, even surpassing Blackpink’s record in the US. - “Your Idol” – Saja Boys
Performed by Andrew Choi, Neckwav, Danny Chung, Kevin Woo, and samUIL Lee. This dark pop villain anthem hit No. 1 on US Spotify, making Saja Boys the highest-charting male K‑pop group—even above BTS. - “How It’s Done” by HUNTR/X
A swagger-filled opener that introduces the group’s fighting spirit. - “Soda Pop” – Saja Boys
Slick and subversive, this sugary-sounding track masks a sinister breath of villainy. It’s got replayability and attitude. - “Free” – Rumi & Jinu (HUNTR/X)
The emotional center, this duet reflects vulnerability and yearning. It’s soft yet deeply moving—balancing out the more intense tracks. - “What It Sounds Like” – HUNTR/X
The climactic closer which ties emotion with narrative resolution. Critics call it a satisfying payoff to the film’s musical arc.
Why These Songs Stand Out
- The soundtrack debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200, marking the highest animated film debut of 2025.
- It’s the first Netflix soundtrack in about two years to hit the Billboard charts’ top 10.
- HUNTR/X and Saja Boys hold multiple global Spotify chart spots, surpassing many real groups.
Unique Backstory & Fan Culture
The trio is introduced in theatrical style in “How It’s Done,” inspired by musicals like West Side Story.
The track “Takedown” serves as the “warrior anthem,” and interestingly, it also launched a TikTok dance trend, with TWICE’s Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung performing the end-credits version.
From anthem-level bangers to heartfelt ballads, K‑Pop: Demon Hunters transforms its music into a character of its own. Whether you vibed with “Golden,” got hooked on “Your Idol,” or moved by “Free,” the songs make the film unforgettable—and real-world chart-toppers to boot.
