Rising girl group A2O MAY release of their bold new single, “BOSS,” exuding a fearless energy that enhances their global appeal, positioning them as a formidable force in the industry.



A2O MAY is not just any girl group; they are the first official girl group launched under the A2O Channel by A2O Entertainment, making their dazzling debut on December 20, 2024. The group is composed of five exceptionally talented members — CHENYU, SHIJIE, QUCHANG, MICHE, and KAT — was formed under the innovative vision of A2O Entertainment and is guided by the acclaimed producer Soo-man Lee. These young artists hail from diverse backgrounds, representing cities such as Shanghai, Jiangsu, and even Hawaii, which contributes to their multicultural, bilingual identity. A2O MAY embodies the spirit of a new generation of global idols, fluent in both Chinese and English, and each member brings a unique artistic identity shaped by their individual passions, which range from fashion styling and piano to visual art, songwriting, and performance. This rich tapestry of skills and experiences is what makes A2O MAY truly stand out in the crowded music landscape. Their debut as part of the A2O Channel introduced the world to Zalpha Pop—a futuristic sound that blends emotional storytelling with cutting-edge production, designed specifically for the digitally native Gen Z and Gen Alpha audiences. This genre not only reflects their artistic ambitions but also serves as a cultural bridge that connects different generations and backgrounds.


Their debut single, “Under My Skin,” captures this vision perfectly with its rhythmic, synth-driven sound and introspective lyrics, offering a powerful glimpse into the future of youth-driven global music. In a matter of weeks, “Under My Skin” has climbed the Mediabase U.S. Radio Weekly Chart, officially breaking into the Top 40—an unprecedented feat for a rookie group. The success of A2O MAY has already garnered them a significant online presence, thanks to their exceptional dancing and vocal abilities. They have amassed an impressive 10.7 million views on China’s Weibo and 13 million views on YouTube, showcasing their ability to connect with fans across different platforms. Their charting success not only reinforces their status as rising artists of international relevance but also highlights the growing influence of Asian talent in Western mainstream media, paving the way for future artists to follow in their footsteps.



This moment in music history marks a significant breakthrough not only for A2O MAY but also for the broader Chinese music industry. The group has become a symbol of what is possible when diverse voices are given a global stage, inspiring countless others to pursue their dreams in the music industry. Their success on the U.S. Top 40 Radio opens the door for other Asian acts, redefining boundaries and expanding opportunities for future generations of idol groups. This is a pivotal moment that encourages the exploration of new sounds and artistic expressions, fostering a more inclusive and vibrant music scene.


Their latest release, “BOSS,” is a bass-heavy, hip-hop and electronic dance-inspired anthem that channels unapologetic confidence and showcases next-generation, girl-boss energy. The song features deeper vocal tones, punchy verses, and powerful dance breaks, all culminating in a hook designed to empower listeners. This track serves as a fearless follow-up to their chart-topping debut, further positioning A2O MAY as genre-shifting icons in the making. The evolution of their sound and style reflects their commitment to pushing boundaries and redefining what it means to be a girl group in today’s music industry.



As they prepare for their first official U.S. performance at the highly anticipated 102.7 KIIS FM Wango Tango festival in California, A2O MAY stands at the forefront of the Zalpha Pop revolution. With millions of streams and radio play already under their belt, they are not merely a girl group; they are a movement poised to change the landscape of pop music. And this is just the beginning of their journey, with much more to come as they continue to evolve and expand their artistic horizons.
