On December 25, the idol released the tracklist for Insanity, sparking immense anticipation. The seven-song record will feature some other incredible artists as well, including Tiger JK and Joohoney’s labelmate, IVE‘s Rei. However, it was the featuring artist on “Sting,” one of those seven tracks. The song title features Muhammad Ali, the legendary boxer, as the featuring artist, leaving fans completely baffled.

Aside from the fun, the inclusion of Muhammad Ali in this album has drawn praise from audiences. As explained in the tracklist, “Sting” has the legendary figure credited as a songwriter because the song samples audio performed by Muhammad Ali, licensed under the Muhammad Ali Enterprise, LLC.
