Kirari: A free, colorful mood moving between dreams and reality makes me wonder what colors the song will bring to mind.

Nea: Having ILLIT carry the opening from 'Bubee' into the second cour gives the anime a neat musical thread. I want to hear the two themes side by side.

ILLIT is continuing its connection with the TV anime Magical Sisters LuluttoLilly. After performing the first-cour opening theme, ‘Bubee,’ the group will return with ‘Swingin’ Magic’ as the opening for the second cour.

Bright magic over a New Jack Swing groove

ILLIT describes ‘Swingin’ Magic’ as a song driven by the rhythmic groove of New Jack Swing, with excitement, bright energy and rich harmonies. Its free, colorful mood moves between dreams and reality.

Two versions and another Kana Okajima collaboration

The single pairs ‘Swingin’ Magic’ with ‘Swingin’ Magic (Korean Ver.).’ Kana Okajima contributed to the lyrics and composition, marking her second collaboration with ILLIT after ‘I Got Your Back (Feat. JISOO, MOMOKA of HANA).’ The two versions will offer another way to hear how the song’s groove carries across the release.
