The K-pop girl group showed the “This Is Me… Now” song some extra points in the remake that was released Friday morning (March 15).
Jennifer Lopez has infused her bossa nova track “This Time Around” with a fresh twist by teaming up with K-pop girl group (G)I-DLE for a new remix.
Released on Friday morning, the remix features Lopez’s original verses alongside a new section where members YUQI, Minnie, Soyeon, and Mieyon contribute with a blend of English and Korean lyrics.
