EPEX Drops New Pre-Release Single “My Girl” Ahead of Full-Length Album

EPEX is back with a fresh and exciting pre-release single, “My Girl,” setting the stage for their highly anticipated second full-length album. This release comes six months after their successful first full-length album, Youth Chapter 1: YOUTH DAYS, and offers a delightful new sound from the group.

The Charm of “My Girl”

“My Girl” is an upbeat, playful love song that beautifully captures the nervousness and excitement of falling in love.
