《Zero》 is a single by the South Korean girl group NewJeans, released on April 3, 2023, as part of the Coca-Cola Zero Sugar campaign in Korea. Serving as the group’s first primarily English-language track, it arrived alongside its music video and reflected their role as global ambassadors for Coca-Cola. A remix featuring American rapper JID was later released on June 20, 2023, followed by a separate music video the next day. Musically, 《Zero》 blends pop and R&B with the kinetic pulse of Jersey club, layering the urgency of drum and bass with the smoothness of R&B melodies. Its lyrics mix Korean and English, incorporating direct nods to Coca-Cola while capturing a sweet, fizzy sense of excitement.
