==Background and theme==

The song's use in the film marks a pivotal moment in the storyline, a "dramatic" shift to "sleek, jet-black silhouettes" as the boy band reveals their true form in full demon-like, all-black attire.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.thestar.com.my/lifestyle/entertainment/2025/07/05/how-039k-pop-demon-hunters039-made-saja-boys039-soul-stealing-039your-idol039-performance|title=How ''K‑pop Demon Hunters'' made Saja Boys' soul‑stealing 'Your Idol' performance|magazine=[[The Star (Malaysia)|The Star]]|date=July 5, 2025|access-date=July 5, 2025}}</ref> According to co-director Maggie Kang, the idea of portraying the group as "jeoseung saja", the Korean grim reaper, was one of the film's earliest concepts. Kang described it as "a very iconic image" that had never been explored in animation before. The scene aimed to give the main character, Jinu, a "more traditional look" during the performance while drawing the audience into the dark underworld through striking color effects.<ref>{{cite magazine|url=https://www.koreaherald.com/article/10524821|title=Director breaks down Saja Boys' soul-stealing performance of 'Your Idol'|last=Dong-hee|first=Hwang|magazine=[[The Korea Herald]]|date=July 4, 2025|access-date=July 5, 2025}}</ref>
