Songfacts®:

• KPop Demon Hunters is a 2025 animated musical fantasy film that follows the story of Huntr/x, a globally famous K-pop girl group who secretly lead double lives as (you guessed it) demon hunters. The trio - Rumi, Mira, and Zoey - use their music and fighting skills to protect humanity from demons who seek to prey on human souls. Rumi's singing is performed by K-Pop singer-songwriter EJAE; Mira's by American R&B singer Audrey Nuna; and Zoey's by Korean-American singer REI AMI.
  
  "How It's Done" is the high-energy introductory track performed by Huntr/x.
• As Rumi, Mira, and Zoey fly to their concert, their private plane is hijacked by demons disguised as flight crew. When the demons reveal their plan to deliver the girls to the demon king Gwi-ma, Huntr/x unleash "How It's Done." They battle the demons mid-air, ultimately leaping from the plane to make a grand entrance at the concert.
• The track introduces each member's vibe: Zoey's a fiery, deceptively cute rapper. Mira is the wildcard dancer. And Rumi? She's the diva, the voice, the emotional anchor of the group.
• EJAE co-wrote the song with YG Entertainment lyricist Danny Chung and Broadway wordsmith Mark Sonnenblick. KPop Demon Hunters executive music producer Ian Eisendrath (known for Come From Away and Only Murders in the Building) handled the production with The Black Label's Teddy Park, 24 and Ido.
• According to Eisendrath, the team wanted the song to "feel like a K-pop hit," something that captured the rush you get the first time you hear BlackPink, but with enough grit to set the tone for a monster-slaying musical. They took inspiration from "Jet Song," the swaggering opener to West Side Story, using it as a blueprint for introducing Huntr/x as a fierce, unified squad.
  
  "The song had to give you everything at once," Eisendrath told Netflix's Tudum. "We wanted to show that Zoey might look sweet, but she raps like fire. Mira's the Dennis Rodman of the group - unpredictable, bold, explosive. And Rumi? She's the diva. She's the voice you're going to follow."
• Musically, "How It's Done" is structured with military precision. Zoey and Mira kick things off with eight bars of rapid-fire rap - pure attitude - before Rumi takes over with a soaring bridge that, as Eisendrath put it, "makes you fall in love with her voice... because it's ultimately going to be taken away."
