March 27th, 2026 – Global producer and artist EL CAPITXN officially steps into the spotlight as a solo artist with the release of his debut single, “Breaking Through”. Joining forces with TOMORROW X TOGETHER’s Taehyun and American singer-songwriter Jeremy Zucker, the track is now available on all streaming platforms. Fans can stream the song here.
The single was surprise-released through EL CAPITXN’s social media, marking the beginning of his journey as a recording artist. “Breaking Through” captures the moment when the heart pushes past the walls it has built for itself for the very first time. The song delicately portrays emotions finally flowing outward through a crack in a once-closed inner world, reaching toward another being.
Adding further emotional depth to the project, the narrative concept centers around the speaker’s lost voice resonating once again through the voices of Taehyun and Jeremy Zucker. Taehyun’s delicate vocals and Jeremy Zucker’s signature warm tone blend seamlessly over the dense, refined soundscape crafted by EL CAPITXN, delivering the powerful message that once a heart crosses the boundary, it can never return to the world it once knew.
A music video and lyric video will accompany the release, both premiering on 30th March via EL CAPITXN’s official YouTube channel and VEVO.
