What 82MAJOR Released With HEAT
82MAJOR released its second single album HEAT at 6 p.m. KST on September 1, 2026. Like Fire serves as the title track. The group first debuted on October 11, 2023, and HEAT marks its latest comeback since then.
82MAJOR also held a release event for HEAT at Cheonggye Plaza in Seoul at 8 p.m. KST on September 2. KPOPCON streamed the performance through its YouTube channel, giving fans outside Korea a way to watch the show live.
Complete HEAT Tracklist
HEAT contains four tracks. The lineup mixes a new title song, a new B-side, a reworked version of an earlier track, and a remix.
- Like Fire — title track
- 오늘 어때 (wyd?) — new B-side
- 트로피 (TROPHY) (Spanish Ver.) — Spanish-language version of an earlier song
- Sign (Viann Remix) — remix of the group’s previous single
How Like Fire Connects to Sign
Like Fire continues the story told in Sign, 82MAJOR’s previous single. The track uses strong beats and synthesizer sounds to build its atmosphere. According to Melon, the production portrays emotions turning uncontrollable, extending the narrative thread from Sign into this new release.
Member Production Credits
Member 윤예찬 helped compose Like Fire alongside IOAH and Park Yechan. shinjihang wrote the lyrics. On 오늘 어때 (wyd?), three people share writing and composing credit: 남성모, 박석준, and 윤예찬. 윤예찬 also worked on the arrangement for that track.
Inside the Like Fire Music Video
The Like Fire music video builds on a fighter concept. Members appear with bandaged faces and hands, matching the styling of a boxer or street fighter. The video includes choreography performed among flames, paired with action sequences that carry the fighting theme through the visuals.
Why the Spanish TROPHY Version Matters
The Spanish version of TROPHY gives Spanish-speaking listeners a localized track inside the four-song release. A Spanish-language track offers Spanish-speaking listeners direct access to the song’s lyrics without relying on translations.
For Latin American fans, HEAT arrived at 3 a.m. in Mexico City, 4 a.m. in Bogotá and Lima, and 6 a.m. in Buenos Aires, São Paulo, and Brasília on September 1. HEAT does not include any announced tour dates for the region.
HEAT Release Times by Region
Fans across Southeast Asia could stream HEAT in the afternoon of September 1. The release landed at 4 p.m. in Jakarta, Bangkok, and Ho Chi Minh City. It arrived an hour later, at 5 p.m., in Manila, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore.
North American fans received HEAT earlier in the day. The single album went live at 5 a.m. EDT and 2 a.m. PDT on September 1.
The Verified Momentum Behind 82MAJOR
82MAJOR built its current run on measurable results from earlier releases. FEELM, the group’s previous release, passed 120,000 sales in its first week. Sign, the single that HEAT’s closing remix draws from, entered Melon’s Hot 100 chart and passed six million music-video views within one week.
The group’s 2024 EP X-82 reached four separate Billboard charts: No. 15 on World Albums, No. 37 on Current Album Sales, No. 45 on Top Album Sales, and No. 24 on Emerging Artists. These entries came from an independent, smaller agency rather than one of Korea’s major labels.
Editor’s Take
HEAT is a four-track single album made of one new title song, one new B-side, a Spanish-language version of an earlier song and a remix, so it extends the storyline from “Sign” rather than introducing a new concept. The sales and chart figures above belong to earlier releases, and the sources reviewed do not report results for HEAT itself, so its reception cannot be judged from this post. That is our reading of the tracklist and credits.
