Nakai also announced the new release date and mentioned that she had cancelled her gigs planned for that day, as women were advised not to work and to join the movement.

"Morning, guys, I definitely woke up with the flu. I have a really important presentation and message today. Anyway, I was supposed to drop my new song featuring Nasty C on the 21st of November 2025.
"The date was chosen months ago, but I’m going to move the release date to the 28th for obvious reasons. If you don’t know, just check my profile picture and check out what I stand for. We, as women, are not working on Friday, so the new date is the 28, quarter to December. Watch for that! I also cancelled my gigs for Friday," she said.
