Produced by Matt Attard (BTS’ Jin), the dance-pop single turns a relationship ultimatum — “I want more… or bye” — into an anthem of self-worth.
LOS ANGELES, CA / MusicWire / June 16, 2026 — Rising pop artist KOTA! is set to release her bold new single “MORE” on June 23, 2026 — a danceable, attitude-forward track built around one unflinching ultimatum: “I want more… or bye.”
On “MORE,” KOTA! plays the guest star on her own record, sliding from chill, quirky rap verses into a confident sung chorus and a self-worth bridge that lands the point: “It’s not that I don’t love you, I just put myself above you… it’s time to leave.” The result is part relationship wake-up call, part celebration of choosing yourself — playful and danceable, with real emotional weight underneath.
The single was co-written and produced by Matt Attard, whose credits include “Happy” and “Echo,” the solo EPs from BTS’ Jin. His production brings K-pop polish to a track that keeps its bite.
“‘MORE’ is me drawing a line. It isn’t angry — it’s the moment you realize your peace is worth more than someone’s half-effort,” KOTA! says. “I wanted it to help people realize they can have ‘more’!”
