ATEEZ's Hongjoong Teams Up With Billboard Hot 100 Artist Bazzi

K-pop group ATEEZ member Hongjoong is teaming up with American singer-songwriter Bazzi for a new song. KQ Entertainment unveiled an announcement image for the collaboration project "ENOuGH (w/Bazzi)" through ATEEZ's official social media accounts at midnight KST on Sept. 11. The track will be released at 1 p.m. KST on Sept. 18.

Bazzi, known for songs including "Mine" and "Beautiful," is featured on the track. The American pop and R&B artist reached No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Mine." His first studio album, "COSMIC," peaked at No. 14 on the Billboard 200.

Hongjoong has contributed to the writing and production of numerous ATEEZ songs since the group's debut album. He has also reinterpreted existing tracks through his "BY. HONGJOONG" project and released self-written songs including "A Walker" and "Why Do You Love," as well as the solo track "NO1."

His collaborations outside the group include a featured appearance on CHUNG HA's "EENIE MEENIE" in 2024. Last year, he participated in U.S. artist Odetari's "SMB" and a new version of "Almost" by British singer-songwriter Bradley Simpson.

The announcement image shows a lone figure in metallic surroundings and clothing. The figure's face appears blurred into an afterimage created by movement.

KQ Entertainment previously posted spoiler images for the project on Sept. 10. One showed a forest beyond the cockpit of a spacecraft, while another featured the silhouettes of two people surrounded by fog. The images included the line, "The journey will be endless, eternal, and infinite. And still, I choose to begin."

"ENOuGH (w/Bazzi)" will be available through major music platforms at 1 p.m. KST on Sept. 18.
