ANGEL22 isn't holding back on this one!
On Thursday, PEOPLE is exclusively premiering the music video to the Latinx girl group's newest single "Hello Kitty."
In "Hello Kitty," the group, consisting of Sofia Oliveira, Laura Buitrago, Wendii Sarmiento and Alondra Martinez, respond to their haters with a catchy tune, showing off their rapping abilities.
"Where's your mouth sis?/Oh you're silent bitch?/Talking s--- behind my back and now you're Hello Kitty," Oliveira sings in the chorus.

"'Hello Kitty' is the start of a new era for ANGEL22," they said in a press release. "In this song, we re-imagined drill in a girl band style with a contagious chorus, incorporating Hello Kitty in the lyrics as a way to diss."
They added, "We decided to have more fun with the lyrics and show a side that always existed between us as friends, but we had never shared with other people."
Meanwhile, the music video, directed by Amber Park, takes the group to a video game-like dimension filled with bright graphics.
“It was such an exciting creative exercise to dream and build this metaphysical alternate digital kawaii universe. It played homage to the nostalgia of anime, novelty toys that are reminiscent of our childhood, and element of imagination and escapism," Park said in a press release.

"Hello Kitty" follows the release of "Anillo" and "Celosa" for Angel22, who performed at CDMX’s Tecate Emblema festival in May.
Originally formed as V5 after competing in UK’s X-Factor: Celebrity contest, the girls of ANGEL22 released their debut single "Free Hugs" in September 2021 and have since grown a large following on social media by connecting with fans online.
"Hello Kitty" is out now.
