"That XX" (그 XX; Geu XX) is a song by South Korean rapper G-Dragon, released as the first single of his second solo album One of a Kind on September 1, 2012.

Background and promotion[edit]

"That XX" was released as the first digital single and second music video from One of a Kind. The song was labelled unsuitable for listeners below 19 years of age for its explicit lyrics. Compromised words were replaced by beeps in the music video.[1] After its release, the song ranked first place in all of South Korea's major music charts and on the weekly iChart on Instiz, achieving a 'Perfect All-Kill."[2] "That XX" reached the top of the Gaon Chart for the month of September. This is the first time a 19+ song has reached the number 1 spot.[3] The only televised live performance was made on the music show Inkigayo with guitarist Sungha Jung. G-Dragon performed a revised version fit for broadcast television.[4]

Music video[edit]

The music video for "That XX" was uploaded to BigBang's official YouTube channel on September 1, 2012. It was directed by Han Sa-min, who had previously directed the videos for BigBang's "Love Song" and labelmate 2NE1's "Lonely".[5] The video features G-Dragon playing two characters: himself, and a cheating boyfriend of a female character played by Jennie Kim, who later debuted as part of Blackpink.[6][7] The music video received three million views in just two days.[8] As of September 2021, the music video has over 96 million views on YouTube.

Cover versions[edit]

"That XX" was remade by the rappers Olltii and Zico at the reality show Show Me the Money.
