South Korea-based boy band Hori7on recorded a cover of "Sumayaw Sumunod" for their second single album Daytour 2 (2024). It was released on August 13, 2024, through MLD Entertainment.
The Hori7on rendition of "Sumayaw Sumunod" has a runtime of three minutes and 15 seconds. Composed by Kim Jun-tae, Jaejun, and Marcus, with an arrangement by Jiseong and Jaejun, the track is written the key of A major, with an average tempo of 63 beats per minute.[3] [4] In an interview with the Inquirer, leader Vinci recalled that covering the song allowed them to explore the nuances of the Filipino language with the company of Korean producers to create a naturally-sounding output.[5] The cover includes rapped-through verses written by Marcus and Reyster.
On August 4, 2024, Hori7on released graphics captioned with the text "Gusto niyo bang makisayaw?" (Do you want to dance with us?) and "Coming Soon" to announce their follow-up release to Daytour (2024).[6] "Sumayaw Sumunod" was released as Hori7on's fourth single on August 13, with an accompanying music video.[7] The single was supported by full Filipino-language and English-language versions of the track, as well as its instrumental.[8]
Hori7on promoted the single on the variety show Eat Bulaga! on August 21.[9]
