Feel the rush of victory with “PODIUM,” track seven on NMIXX‘s debut full-length album Blue Valentine, hitting shelves October 13, 2025, via JYP Entertainment. This 12-song collection marks a pivotal chapter for the six-member powerhouse – Lily, Haewon, Jiwoo, Bae, Kyujin, and Sullyoon – who burst onto the scene in 2022 with their genre-bending MIXXpop sound. After building momentum with EPs like Fe3O4: FORWARD and singles such as “The Chase,” Blue Valentine dives deeper into the push-pull of love and hate, wrapped in surreal blue aesthetics and conflicting emotions that fans are already unpacking from the teasers.
What sets “PODIUM” apart is leader Haewon’s hand in the lyrics, a first for her on this scale, infusing the track with raw, personal edge alongside contributions to “Crush On You.” Clocking in around three minutes, it’s poised to deliver that signature NMIXX high-energy fusion – think soaring vocals, intricate harmonies, and beats that build to a triumphant peak, echoing the album’s themes of rising above heartbreak.
Early fan chatter on X highlights it as a potential “change-up” banger, with some linking its vibe to high-stakes anthems like Stray Kids’ “Social Path,” while others hype it in trending parties alongside “Phoenix” and “RICO.” As the pre-release “SPINNIN’ ON IT” drops today, October 3, it’s clear Blue Valentine is set to showcase NMIXX’s evolution, blending vulnerability with unshakeable confidence in a way that feels both intimate and stadium-ready. It’s the kind of track that could soundtrack your next big moment, turning inner doubts into spotlight glory. Dive into the PODIUM lyrics below and unpack its triumphant stand. Don’t miss other Blue Valentine tracks like SPINNIN’ ON IT for more of NMIXX’s bold MIXXpop fire.

Lyrics of PODIUM by NMIXX
[Verse 1]
Life’s A Beach But I’m An Island
보란듯이 울려 Siren
틀에 갇힌 Coop 속 Chicken처럼
구는 태돈 뒤로한 채
(La-la-la-la-la)
You Think You Can Outrun Me
(Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
That’s Funny 허튼 욕심엔 Warning
[Refrain]
내가 밟을 Podium
Put In That Sweat, That Sodium, Uh
Pandemonium
Going Nonstop, Nonstop To The Top, Yuh
Nonstop, Nonstop To The Top
Nonstop, Nonstop To The Top
Nonstop, Nonstop To The Top
Nonstop, Nonstop To The Top
[Chorus]
Yeah, There’s No Stopping Me Now
No Bringing Me Down
내 하늘은 Ground
The Stars A Little Closer
올라 Top Of The World
Nonstop, Do Or Die
터져도 빛나
겁 없이 Make A Rush At High Speed
[Verse 2]
내가 밟을 Podium
Put In That Sweat, That Sodium
불 켜진 Timer, 필요 없어
쉬어가도 일러
앞서가도 지켜 난 Manner
상냥하게 See You Later
Be Legendary, 내게 휘몰아친 소용돌이
중심으로 달릴 준비
Uh-huh Honey (Yeah You Know)
I Don’t Know My Limits
[Refrain]
Nonstop Nonstop To The Top (We Go)
Nonstop Nonstop To The Top (We Go)
Nonstop Nonstop To The Top (We Go)
Nonstop Nonstop To The Top
[Chorus]
Yeah, There’s No Stopping Me Now
No Bringing Me Down
내 하늘은 Ground
The Stars A Little Closer
올라 Top Of The World
Nonstop, Do Or Die
터져도 빛나
겁 없이 Make A Rush At High Speed
[Refrain]
내가 밟을 Podium
Put In That Sweat, That Sodium, Uh
Pandemonium
Going Nonstop, Nonstop To The Top, Yuh
Nonstop, Nonstop To The Top
Nonstop, Nonstop To The Top
Nonstop, Nonstop To The Top
Nonstop, Nonstop To The Top
[Bridge]
Ooh
쓰러져도 남길 Name
온몸의 Scar 드러내
Ooh
여기 모여, We Rise Higher
Fly Above The Flames
[Chorus]
Yeah, There’s No Stopping Me Now
No Bringing Me Down
밟고 올라 Clouds
The Sun Burns Me, But Okay
We Were Born To Be Squad
높이 떠올라
더 크게 움터
It’s Not Over Until We’re Done
