HEART OF WOMAN is marking 100 days since its debut by giving an early fan favorite an official release.

The girl group released its pre-debut mixtape "H.O.W's Delight" across streaming platforms on September 4, following continued requests from fans for the track to become officially available.

"H.O.W's Delight" was originally introduced before HEART OF WOMAN's formal debut and was one of the group's earliest pieces of music. The track drew attention for its unconventional combination of an Italian aria sample and member Ryuin's Italian-language rap, accompanied by visuals filmed in Los Angeles.

Musically, the track pairs vintage strings inspired by Italian classical music with a heavy drum groove and textures drawing from 2000s hip-hop. The members alternate between distinct rap flows, while an Italian-language section and recurring hook run throughout the track.

Members Chaei, Lili and Ryuin each participated in writing their respective rap sections, further establishing the musical direction the group would later carry into its official releases.

The cover artwork also connects "H.O.W's Delight" to HEART OF WOMAN's more recent work. A scene of the members smiling in the music video for "달라 ($.$)" has been reinterpreted in a cel-animation-inspired style for the release.

Prior to the group's debut, "H.O.W's Delight" led to an interview with Billboard Italia. Following its official debut, HEART OF WOMAN's first full-length album was ranked No. 15 on Billboard's list of the Best K-Pop Albums of 2026.

The official release of "H.O.W's Delight" arrives exactly 100 days into HEART OF WOMAN's career, bringing one of the group's pre-debut tracks onto streaming platforms for the first time.
