According to TMZ, 12-year-old North West, the daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, has officially entered the music industry with her debut track titled “Piercing On My Hand.” The song, which leans into a mix of experimental pop and rap, has quickly climbed the charts and become a major trending topic on TikTok, with creators already launching new dance challenges.
The lyrics of the song are being analyzed by fans for potential references to her famous parents and her upbringing in the spotlight. North, who has frequently appeared on stage during her father’s “Vultures” era, seems to be carving out her own lane, blending the avant-garde style of Kanye with the polished aesthetic of the Kardashian brand.
The release has reignited the conversation about “nepo babies” in the music industry, but many critics are surprised by the professional quality and unique sound of the track. This move follows a year of North being increasingly vocal about her creative interests, including fashion design and filmmaking.
The song’s release coincided with her father’s recent public appearances, leading some to speculate that a joint project or a North-focused album under the YZY label might be in the works. For now, the track is dominating “Hip-Hop” and “Pop” categories on streaming platforms.

Echotitbits take:
North West isn’t just a celebrity kid; she’s a brand unto herself. This debut feels less like a hobby and more like the start of a serious career. Given her access to the best producers in the world (including her dad), she has a massive head start. It will be interesting to see if she leans more into the Hip-Hop/Soul culture of her father’s roots or stays in the Gen Alpha pop lane.
