"MIIX With Me" is a song by Filipino musician Xavier Luna, released as the third single from his debut studio album XAVI (2025). Musically, "MIIX With Me" is a garage-inspired dance pop song in which an indecisive narrator finally takes the step of making advances towards a crush at a party. A remix version of the song featuring the titular artist, MIIX, was released on May 26, 2025. The song earned two first place awards on Beat Bop and Smile Groove Music Show, respectively.
Background[]
In December 2024, Xavier Luna confirmed that he will be releasing his debut studio album in 2025. By March 2025, the album roll-out started with the first single, "Won’t Ever Do This Again" featuring Taran of khaos, followed by the chart-topping collaboration single "Antiretro" featuring Chae Dahee, DEC, and Seoyeon. On April 19, 2025, Xavier released an Instagram Story of him listening to MIIX's "What Just Happened" while seemingly producing music on the studio. This immediately sparked rumors of a MIIX feature, but he later denied it, saying, "Unfortunately no, he's not on the album D: but see what happens next!"
The red background and white text style of the song's single artwork references the single artwork of MIIX's 2024 hit song I Have A Thing.
Composition[]
Can you MIIX with me? Come talk to me.
A UK garage-inspired dance pop song with a soft atmosphere, "MIIX With Me" was composed in the key of F Minor with a tempo of 141 beats-per-minute (BPM). The song was entirely written and produced by Luna. The title uses the name of male soloist MIIX as a double entendre, being interpreted as both inviting someone to dance to the artist's song or "mixing together"- in the context of engaging in intimate acts.
Music video[]
From Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)
The music video for "MIIX With Me" was filmed at a studio set in South Korea, and was released on the same day as the single and album's release. Similar to his music video "Antiretro", the music video features a ridiculously large range of musician cameos such as the khaos members, JΣПΣЯΛƬIӨП's Minjoo, ZÆRO's Seohyuk and James, NEOVIVID's Zaven, KoeR's Omoi Umi, C9PID's Kyungmi and Soojin, CHRYSTALLIZE's Suyeong and Celesté, SolSys' Kang Eunhee, Hyun Sookyung, and Gi Yunmi, ZENIX's Hansol, NOVALIGHT's Hyejung, BEAUDENT's Hyeyum and Sukima, and IMPGS Tap's Lyra and Victoria. The music video was described to be as equally expensive to film as "Antiretro".
With the concept of a "30th century space party", the music video is set in a crowded cruise spacecraft that travels through galaxies, with guests consisting of not only humans but also aliens and robots. Prosthetics and costumes were primarily used instead of visual effects as he wanted the experience to feel real, but computer-generated effects were used to create scenes of an indoor city buzzing with lights and noise. Luna cites 2017 film Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets as a visual inspiration.

Critical reception[]
"MIIX With Me" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Jang Kyul-kyung of music review website HoldMyTrack gave the song 4 out of 5 stars, saying, "Xavier continues his streak of great singles with MIIX With Me, which is undeniably conducive for TikTok popularity amidst the wave of easy listening music but also never fails to leaves you satisfied with every listen." Chun Miyeon of The Terror Music Professor said, "I'm not typically a fan of songs relying on repetitive hooks to be noteworthy, so I initially found MIIX With Me as one of the weaker tracks. However, if anything, that says more about the greatness of the album's material, because after a few replays, I finally understood the addictive flavor and magical production that comes with this track, and it definitely makes sense to be selected as the single."
