"What's Happenin" is a digital single by Japanese dance and vocal group Psychic Fever from Exile Tribe, released on January 30, 2025, through LDH Records. The song marks the group's third collaboration with rapper JP THE WAVY, following Temperature (Prod. JP THE WAVY) and Just Like Dat feat. JP THE WAVY.[1]
Production for "What's Happenin" began around November 2024, with the music video filmed in December of the same year.[2]
Following the viral success of "Just Like Dat", the new track was produced primarily by JP THE WAVY, Nvmbrr, and JIGG. In an interview with Real Sound, the group revealed that they asked for the song to be created as a "Part 2" to "Just Like Dat", positioning it as a continuation of their previous collaboration with JP THE WAVY.[1][3]
In a Culture Cruise interview, member Tsurugi explained that the protagonist of "What's Happenin" is the same character featured in "Just Like Dat".[2]
The track combines Miami and Atlanta-inspired hip-hop and R&B grooves with early 2000s aesthetics, blending Japanese and English lyrics for a globally conscious sound.[1][4]
Lyrically, the song expresses feelings for a loved one in a long-distance relationship and conveys messages of love and gratitude to fans. The vocal arrangement was designed more intricately than in previous works to reflect the group's unified approach to reaching international audiences.[1][2]
