KeNN captures innocent love and panic in new single Datto 脱兎

Ever liked someone so much that your body froze, your thoughts tangled, and instead of leaning in, you backed away? That emotional spiral is exactly what KeNN channels in his latest single, “Datto 脱兎”. Named after a Japanese phrase meaning “a rabbit darting off,” the track dives into the clumsy vulnerability of love at its most tender and unsure.

The single doesn’t focus on heartbreak or rejection. Instead, it paints a picture of the moment before anything happens — the shy glance, the quiet hesitation, the overwhelming desire to connect but the fear of doing it wrong. It’s the love story caught in a freeze-frame of anxiety and innocence.

Music video set to bring the spiral to life on 23 July

A music video for “Datto 脱兎” is set to premiere on 23 July, following a boy so paralyzed by his feelings for a crush that he can only run away — not out of disinterest, but from being emotionally overwhelmed. Heart racing, hands cold, unsure whether he should say something or disappear, he spirals in hopes that maybe the person he likes will notice and come after him.

Backed by a crisp beat and KeNN’s soft vocal delivery, the track pulses with the sweetness of a racing heart. “Datto 脱兎” is not a tragedy — it’s an honest portrayal of early emotions, where silence is louder than words and vulnerability is what makes the moment real.

Whether you’re reliving a high school crush or standing in a new chapter of love, KeNN’s latest single turns hesitation into music worth remembering.
