"Shotgun" (stylized as "SH♡TGUN feat. JIMMY, WEESA, PERO PERO CANDY") is a digital single by the Japanese boy group Psychic Fever from Exile Tribe, released on December 6, 2024, through LDH Records.[1] The song was written by Jimmy, Weesa, and Sunny-Play, and composed by Auwid S, Jimmy, Weesa, and Sunny-Play.[2]
Background
The song was developed following Jimmy and the sibling rap duo Pero Pero Candy (Japanese: ぺろぺろきゃんでー)’s collaboration on s**t kingz’s 2024 single Morechau, released in July of that year.[3] In "Shotgun," Psychic Fever members Jimmy and Weesa perform the verses and hook respectively, with Pero Pero Candy appearing as guest artists.[4] The track originated from a demo produced by Sunny-Play, the brother in the sibling unit, with Jimmy and Weesa later contributing their lyrics and flows. [3] Musically, the song incorporates an R&B-based sound characterized by a strong beat and rhythmic rap elements; member Weesa commented that the "lyrics and sound turned out catchy."[3]
Music video
The official music video for "Shotgun" premiered on December 6, 2024, coinciding with the digital release.[5] Directed by Naohiro Ohashi, the video was filmed in a multi-level shopping mall and depicts each group member moving through different areas in pursuit of an ideal partner, using vivid imagery to represent one-sided attraction.[6]
Promotion and live performances
Psychic Fever performed "Shotgun" during their first U.S. tour in February 2025, marking the song's live overseas debut for international audiences.[7]
