"The Noise" is a song by South Korean girl group Le Sserafim and Japanese duo Yoasobi. It was released as a promotional single through Source Music and Virgin Music on September 26, 2025, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the fashion e-commerce website Zozotown. Written by Ayase, Hiroshi Fujiwara, Matt Cab, Matz, and Grace, the song sampled Yoasobi's 2019 single "Yoru ni Kakeru",
Background and release
On July 30, 2025, fashion e-commerce website Zozotown announced Zozofes, to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the website, to be held at K-Arena Yokohama on October 12 and 13. It is described as a special event that "combines fashion and music", centered on the theme of "Y2K".[1] The first lineup to perform on October 13 was revealed concurrently, with Le Sserafim and Yoasobi.[2] The event stated that the attending artists would perform a collaborative song for the commemoration.[3] On September 22, a collaborative song by Le Sserafim and Yoasobi was unveiled, titled "The Noise",[4] and was released on September 26.[5]
Composition
"The Noise" contains a sample of Yoasobi's 2019 single "Yoru ni Kakeru" and the producer team Tokyo Coffee Break handled the partially new lyrics, remixing, and re-arrangement, fusing the city pop and Y2K styles, which suited Zozofes's theme.[6] Compared to the original, the song was transformed to a slower BPM, and a "sweet and soft" soul and R&B sound.[7] Ikura sang the original lyrics, while Le Sserafim sang the newly written lyrics.[7]
Promotion and other uses
Le Sserafim and Yoasobi's Ikura debuted the live performance of "The Noise" at Zozofes, held at K-Arena Yokohama on October 13, 2025.[8] The song features on the Zozotown's online commercials "Suki ni, Kiyō ze", starring Airu Kubozuka and Mei Hata.[9] An accompanying music video for the song was uploaded on November 27.[10]
