Seulgi of girl group Red Velvet will be showcasing her first self-written song on her upcoming debut solo EP, according to SM Entertainment on Tuesday.

She wrote the lyrics to the track "Dead Man Runnin," an R&B pop and dance song with energetic drum sounds and deep base that amplifies Seulgi's powerful vocals.

Seulgi's lyrics to the song vividly portray her anxiety and emptiness that she sometimes felt when people hurt her in the past, said her agency.

Seulgi's first solo EP “28 Reasons” will be released on Oct. 4 at 6 p.m.

One hour before the release, Seulgi will hold a live broadcast titled "Seulgi '28 Reasons' Countdown Live" on YouTube and TikTok to communicate with her fans around the world.

"28 Reasons" will consist of six songs including the title track “28 Reasons.” The EP will be available for pre-order from Tuesday.
