no na return with dreamy new single “the one” and a retro soaked music video
The first ever global girl group from Indonesia is stepping into a whole new era. Today, no na dropped their new single “the one” through 88rising along with a nostalgic, late night TV inspired music video that shows off everything that makes the group stand out right now.
If you caught their set at Head in the Clouds this year, you already know how sharp and charismatic they are live. Seeing them bring that same energy into this release feels like watching the start of something big.
A hazy retro world with soul and sparkle
“the one” blends warm island pop textures with hazy 80s synths and a dreamy string motif that feels like a late night confession. Each member, Christy, Esther, Baila, and Shaz, brings a different shade to the track, and the harmonies feel smooth and effortless.
The music video pushes the concept even further. The group steps into a retro universe filled with psychic hotlines, analog screens, and playful infomercial style moments. It is quirky in the best way, and the mix of choreography, styling, and personality gives the whole thing a bright pop fantasy vibe.

Rising fast with global momentum
no na have only been active since early 2025, but they are already hitting real milestones. Songs like “shoot,” “superstitious,” and “sad face :(“ helped them build early buzz, and the group’s visuals and stage presence have only gotten stronger since. Their brand partnerships with Samsung, Tiffany and Co, and BAPE show how quickly they are becoming a force at the intersection of music, fashion, and culture.
What makes no na exciting to watch is how proudly they carry Indonesian identity while reaching for a global sound. They feel like the start of a new wave for Southeast Asian pop.

What is next for no na
“the one” is the first step in a steady run of releases. Their next single “work” drops on December 12, followed by another single on January 19 and their new EP Speaker Freaker on January 30. If this rollout keeps the same energy, 2026 might be their breakout year.
For anyone who loves sharp choreography, clean vocals, and a fresh take on retro pop, no na deserve a spot on your radar.
