"In Another World" is the debut solo single by South Korean and American singer-songwriter Ejae.[3] After teasing the song on her Instagram, the song was released on October 24, 2025. The official music video to the song was released a day prior on October 23, 2025, via Ejae's YouTube channel. It is her first major solo project following her role as the singing voice of Rumi in KPop Demon Hunters.[4] It is also her first project after signing with WME.[4][5]

Ejae says she wrote the song two years ago while at a songwriting camp in Canada, about her relationship with her fiancé during a period of it "not working out", eventually leading to them taking a break. The song, lyrically, is Ejae reflecting on how the relationship would've gone under different circumstances.[6] She said in an interview with Variety that the lyrics "helped me accept reality in a way, but at the same time, be OK with it by knowing to just be real with yourself. I chose this song because it felt exactly how I felt with Rumi and the movie. Accepting your demons, then accepting that part of yourself — that is when true growth happens."[6]
