This vibrant new rendition fuses ILLIT’s kinetic energy and dance-floor hooks with Sophie’s candid, effortlessly cool vocals, so you get a reimagined take on their smash hit “jellyous,” originally featured on ILLIT’s mini-album bomb (June 2024).
You’ll recognize the song that became a fan favorite for its irresistible chorus and heartbeat rhythm, earning millions of streams and viral dance-challenge videos across TikTok and Instagram, now amplified by Sophie Powers‘ signature blend of playful edge and emotional honesty.
If you’ve followed the artists’ histories, the creative kinship didn’t start here: Sophie first publicly showed her admiration by posting a fan dance challenge for ILLIT’s “Tick-Tack,” later joined their web series to cover “Magnetic,” and ILLIT rallied behind Sophie’s recent single “move with me” with their own viral choreography. You can see how their mutual support and shared love of genre-defying pop set the stage for this collaboration that will resonate with fans of both ILLIT and Sophie Powers.
You’ll also get Sophie’s perspective: she says she’s so excited to share her collaboration with ILLIT, watched the show they came from on Netflix, and has loved seeing their journey from the very beginning. She notes the girls are so talented and inspiring and finds it crazy to think she’s the same age as Yunah, Minju, and Moka. For you, the song is meant to feel special and to inspire people to chase their dreams the way ILLIT has, and Sophie can’t wait to see what the GLIT’s and Powerpuffs think.
As you follow Sophie’s evolution, you’ll notice the 21-year-old Toronto-born, Los Angeles-based artist is carving out space for sharp-minded, creative outcasts. Her defiant spirit fuels everything she does, from boundary-pushing music to self-designed outfits. You’ve seen her shed the bubblegum-neon aesthetic in favor of a darker, rawer, more nihilistic vision across recent singles like “move with me” and “head empty no thoughts.”
When you consider media response and live impact, Sophie has earned praise from PAPER, The FADER, Billboard, and Stereogum, built a loyal fanbase; and delivered high-energy performances at the UK’s Slam Dunk Festival and Vans Warped Tour in DC and Long Beach. Through this new version of “jellyous,” you get a meeting of ILLIT’s dance-floor hooks and Sophie’s unapologetic attitude—an intersection of authenticity, chaos, and creative control meant to excite both GLIT’s and Powerpuffs alike.
