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

Background and promotion[]

"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]
