"Gashina" is a song recorded by South Korean singer Sunmi. It was released as a CD single and digital single by Makeus Entertainment and The Black Label on August 22, 2017, distributed by LOEN Entertainment. "Gashina" is Sunmi's first release since the disbandment of Wonder Girls and the expiration of her contract with JYP Entertainment. It was released as the lead single from her second Korean-language EP Warning.

Composition

Written by Teddy Park, Sunmi, Joe Rhee, and 24, the song was described as a "dancehall-style synthpop number that rocks an Eastern-style atmosphere and a distinct rhythmic bass sound". It was co-produced by The Black Label, a subsidiary of YG Entertainment.
The title is a shortening of the Korean phrase gasinayo, which loosely translates to leaving in English. The word Gashina is also used to address a girl in a disrespectful, but often playful manner.
