The group, consisting of members Martin, James, Juhun, Sunghyun, and Gunho, announced the release of 'What You Want (feat. Teezo Touchdown)' through the global fan platform Weverse on the morning of the 19th. This track is the English version of their debut album's title song 'What You Want' and will be available on streaming platforms on the 22nd at 1 PM.
The collaboration with American singer-songwriter Teezo Touchdown is drawing attention. Known for his work with hip-hop artists like Tyler, the Creator, Drake, and Travis Scott, Teezo's partnership with CORTIS, who are known as the 'Young Creator Crew,' is highly anticipated.
This collaboration was born from a songwriting camp held in Los Angeles last year. Despite having little information about CORTIS at the time, Teezo Touchdown decided to join after observing the five members create music together. The track 'What You Want' was crafted in a free-spirited environment and has now been developed from an English demo into an official release. The original message of pursuing one's desires without hesitation is enhanced by Teezo Touchdown's unique style, promising to add a fresh appeal.
Previously, CORTIS officially debuted with the release of 'What You Want' on the 18th. The conceptual performance film for the track surpassed 1 million views on YouTube by 10:07 AM the following day. The song quickly gained attention, entering the trending music video charts on YouTube in Korea, as well as on Japan's Line Music and QQ Music.
CORTIS will kick off their music show promotions starting with Mnet's 'M Countdown' on the 21st. The five members plan to captivate viewers with a unique performance involving 11 continuously moving treadmills.
