XG have dropped their newest music video for the rock-funk anthem, “O.R.B (Obviously Reads Bro),” on August 24, 2026.
Released as part of their first full album, THE CORE – 核, the high-energy track blends crunchy guitars and a funky groove. The song celebrates early schooldays — from skipping class to crashing parties and pulling pranks — and explores themes of friendship and loyalty with its lyrics such as “Find strength in broheim / That’s the way I was brought up / It’s a new world / That’s why I’m callin’ you girls my braddahs.”
The official visualizer leans into Y2K nostalgia, reminiscent of early 2000s pop-punk icons Avril Lavigne and Paramore, evident in the members’ styling to the way the video is filmed. XG are seen having fun at home, playing as a band in a garage, and biking and skateboarding through neighborhood streets. One scene shows the members getting ice cream from a local neighborhood truck, hilariously attempting to pay with fake money and being chased down the street.
The music video captures the same carefree energy the global group brings to their performance of “O.R.B (Obviously Reads Bro)” during their The Core World Tour, as witnessed firsthand by Filipino ALPHAZ who were part of the crowd of XG’s second Manila show at the SM Mall of Asia Arena on July 22, 2026.
Their world tour comes in support of their latest album, released January 23, 2026, featuring 10 tracks including “O.R.B (Obviously Reads Bro)” and the trending “HYPNOTIZE.” Beyond their tour, the seven-member act also made international festival appearances at Fuji Rock Festival on July 25, 2026 and Head In The Clouds LA on August 8, 2026.
Composed of JURIN, CHISA, HARVERY, HINATA, JURIA, MAYA, and COCONA, XG recently shifted the meaning of their name from “Xtraordinary Girls” to “Xtraordinary Genes,” following COCONA’s coming out as transmasculine non-binary late last year.
“O.R.B (Obviously Reads Bro)” serves as a love letter to their youngest member, with the group affectionately using “bro” throughout the song and their performances, acknowledging COCONA’s pronoun changes.
