Starting the year with a bang, Got the Beat, SM's first female sub-unit is back with their new single Stamp On It.
The all-female group made their comeback with an epic dance video on SM Entertainment's special live concert, which featured the debut performance of a new single from Girls On Top called "Stamp On It," which was unveiled for the first time during the concert.
The single is from the group's upcoming EP of the same name, which will be released on January 16, 2023.
Around the same time last year, this septet made their debut with a graceful song called Step Back. The song peaked at number 11 on the GaonDigital Chart and placed number 5 on the Billboard World Digital Songs Chart. GOT The beat even won their first music show award on SBS Inkigayo within a month of its official release.
SM is known for its experimental music and band transitions with different units. This was just another try for a big female group, making it the first sub-unit of the project group Girls On Top. Naming themselves the female version of Avengers, they also gained appreciation from all of their fandoms.
GOT The Beat is a diverse group of idols representing different generations of K-pop, including BoA, Taeyeon and Hyoyeon of Girls' Generation, Wendy and Seulgi of Red Velvet, and Karina and Winter of Aespa. All members of the group, with the exception of BoA, who is a solo artist, are known for their vocal or dance skills within their respective groups.
