"Ride or Die" is the debut single by South Korean singer Evan. It was released on June 22, 2026, through Belift Lab, and is the first single from his debut extended play (EP), Death of Me.
Background and release In March 2026, Belift Lab announced that Heeseung had left his boy band Enhypen to pursue a solo career while remaining with the label. This caused many fans to start a change.org petition to reverse the decision, which the label reasserted that he would not join back. The label announced in April that Heeseung's new stage name would be "Evan". In May, it was confirmed that Evan would be debuting in June. On June 22, he released "Ride or Die" and accompanied with a B-side track "Overflow".
Composition "Ride or Die" was composed and written by Evan, Apro, Rob Nelson, and Paak. It was described as alternative rock with grunge and punk influences while "Overflow" as a laid back indie pop track.
Chart performance The song peaked at 49 on the Circle Digital Chart.
