Probably! The boys haven’t made any acknowledgement of it yet tho!

Ototoy – the Japanese music store – posted the song on Tues 18th, the link started being shared around Gizz fans early morning Fri 21st (Naarm time), then pretty soon after it got pulled.

When the website was still live you needed to be located in Japan to buy it (or use a VPN) so some people skipped on it, not realising it was a mistake and expecting a European/USA release when it became Friday there. Oops.

Speculating wildly, p(doom) has probably been uploading it to different music services in advance of its release date, but either Ototoy or the uploader messed up and it went public early on their site.

Hopefully the band just release it next Friday. It’s a great song!
