NMIXX Highlight Medley Details Six Tracks From Heavy Serenade Ahead of May 11 Release

NMIXX has released the original highlight medley for its fifth mini album, “Heavy Serenade,” adding a second track preview after an earlier a cappella version. The JYP Entertainment NMIXX official website listed “NMIXX(엔믹스) ‘Heavy Serenade’ Original Highlight Medley” as a May 7, 2026 update, while reports said the video presents excerpts from all six songs on the album.¹²

The release places the highlight medley at the center of the group’s final pre-release schedule before “NMIXX Heavy Serenade” arrives on May 11, 2026 at 6 p.m. The album and the title track of the same name are scheduled to be released at that time, following a promotional rollout that included a pre-release music video for “Crescendo” and advance performance content.²³

NMIXX Highlight Medley Shows the Six-Song Album

The original highlight medley includes portions of “Crescendo,” “Heavy Serenade,” “IDESERVEIT,” “Different Girl,” “Superior,” and “LOUD,” according to StarNews coverage of the May 7 video release.² The selection confirms the same six-track structure reported in earlier coverage of the mini album.

Before the original highlight medley, JYP Entertainment released an a cappella highlight medley through official social channels on May 3, 2026. iMBC Entertainment reported that Lily, Haewon, Sullyoon, Bae, Jiwoo, and Kyujin presented parts of the title track and other album tracks without instrumental backing.⁴ The a cappella preview covered “Heavy Serenade,” “Crescendo,” “Different Girl,” “IDESERVEIT,” “LOUD,” and “Superior,” giving listeners an early vocal-centered version of the album’s material.⁴

The two medley formats serve different roles in the album rollout. The May 3 a cappella medley emphasized the members’ voices without instruments, while the May 7 original highlight medley presented excerpts closer to the official album sound. The available source material does not provide full song lengths or complete production credits for each track, but it does identify the six songs previewed across both medley releases.

Credits and Pre-Release Rollout

The title track “Heavy Serenade” was written by singer-songwriter Hanroro, Yonhap News reported through Financial News, citing JYP Entertainment. The same report said the album includes songs with lyrics written in part by NMIXX members Lily and Bae.⁵

Further details on member participation were reported by bntnews, which said Lily contributed lyrics to “Crescendo” and “LOUD,” while Bae participated in writing lyrics for “Different Girl.”⁶ The source material does not state whether other members have songwriting credits on the album, so the confirmed lyric participation is limited to those named details.

The group’s comeback schedule was outlined before the medley releases. Sports Donga reported that JYP Entertainment disclosed the “Heavy Serenade” promotion schedule on April 14, 2026, including an album trailer, track list, motion poster, concept photos, highlight medley, and 3D album preview.³ The same schedule placed the “Crescendo” music video before the comeback, with the “Heavy Serenade” music video and album set for release on May 11 at 6 p.m.³

“Crescendo” has also been part of the lead-up outside the medley videos. bntnews reported that the pre-released “Crescendo” music video reached No. 2 on YouTube’s worldwide music video trending chart on the morning of April 29, 2026.⁶ That ranking is the only chart-related figure included in the available material.

What the Medleys Confirm Before Release

The highlight medleys confirm that the album campaign is built around two forms of preview: an a cappella version and an original version. The a cappella medley was released first, on May 3, and highlighted the members’ voices across the album tracks without instrumental accompaniment. The original highlight medley followed on May 7 and presented excerpts from the six-song album in a format tied directly to the official NMIXX website notice.¹⁴

The confirmed album title and title track share the same name, “Heavy Serenade.” Reports also identify “Crescendo” as a pre-release song, while “Superior” had been part of the pre-comeback schedule as advance performance content.⁵³ The sources do not provide full genre descriptions, detailed choreography information, or complete music video credits for the title track.

For readers tracking the comeback schedule, the key point is that both highlight medleys were already published before the album release date. The next dated milestone in the provided material is the official release of the fifth mini album and title track on May 11, 2026 at 6 p.m.²
