Tablo, one of the members from popular South Korean hip hop trio Epik High, left a teaser on his Twitter profile to announce the release of their upcoming album, "sleepless in __________".
Along with the teaser, there were photos of what looked like an array of artists that will be featured in the new album.
One of them appeared especially familiar to Malaysian fans and everyone recognised her instantly.

The singer-songwriter first met Epik High in the United States three years ago at the Coachella Music Festival. They must have built quite a chemistry there since then with the announcement of their collaboration.
Yuna herself is also excited for everyone to hear the song.
