BAILEY Releases ‘CAN’T KILL ME’
BAILEY released her single “CAN’T KILL ME” at 12 p.m. KST on September 23, 2026, through THEBLACKLABEL. The digital single contains two tracks: the title song and an instrumental version. Combined, the two tracks run five minutes.
The TV Stage Reached a 2% Peak
A performance of “CAN’T KILL ME” aired on episode six of Mnet’s “Street World Fighter: Directors’ War.” BAILEY performed the song with Jung Minjun and Kasper. The stage produced a 2% household peak rating during the episode.
The performance came from a television mission. Two director teams competed for the chance to choreograph BAILEY’s new song. Simeez and Ingyu faced off against Jung Minjun and Kasper. The winning team would receive performance-director credits on the release.
Why BAILEY Chose Simeez and Ingyu
BAILEY ultimately selected the Simeez and Ingyu team. Their stage was called “Hydra queen.” The concept combined heels choreography, red fabric and krump movement.
Who Made the Track
BAILEY is credited as a lyricist on “CAN’T KILL ME,” alongside Claudia Valentina, Zikai and Billy Walsh. The arrangement was handled by Jumpa, Star Boy and TEDDY.
The Proven Momentum Behind BAILEY
BAILEY debuted in K-pop as a member of the five-member co-ed group ALLDAY PROJECT (올데이 프로젝트) on June 23, 2025. The group’s debut songs were “FAMOUS” and “WICKED.”
“FAMOUS” became the first fifth-generation debut song to top Melon Top 100 in real time. It later reached No. 34 on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. ALLDAY PROJECT earned its first music-show win with “FAMOUS” on M Countdown on July 3, 2025, just 10 days after debut.
“CAN’T KILL ME” marks BAILEY’s individual release, separate from ALLDAY PROJECT’s group catalog.
Release Times for Global Fans

North American listeners received the single earlier, at 11 p.m. EDT and 8 p.m. PDT on September 22.
In Latin America, the release timing varied by country. Fans in Brasília and Buenos Aires got the single at midnight on September 23. In Bogotá and Lima, it arrived at 10 p.m. on September 22. In Mexico City, the release landed at 9 p.m. the same day.
Editor’s Take
The release was shaped by the television competition: the winning team of the choreography mission earned the performance-director credit on the single, so the show doubled as promotion for the song. The 2% household peak rating is the only audience number in the sources, and no sales or chart results for “CAN’T KILL ME” were reported at the time. The group record cited above belongs to ALLDAY PROJECT, not to this solo release. This is our reading of the report.
