Big Ocean, celebrated as the world’s first deaf idol group, is set to release their uplifting Christmas single RED-DY SET GO on November 23. Drawing inspiration from the story of Rudolph and his iconic red nose, the song carries a message beneath its festive, high-energy sound: what may once have seemed like a flaw can become the very light that guides the way.

Known for performing through sign language and changing what it means to be a performer, Big Ocean has turned difference into identity and vulnerability into strength. Their influence extends far beyond music; they inspire countless fans, especially those with disabilities, to embrace their uniqueness and chase their dreams. In 2025, the group was also named to Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia, showing their international impact on the music industry.

With RED-DY SET GO!, Big Ocean continue their mission to encourage and empower, offering a message of courage and self-acceptance to anyone who has ever felt doubt or isolation. Musically, the track is a bright, rhythm-driven Christmas anthem, mixing an energetic hook with festive cheer. While its melody brings the joy of the season, its lyrics tell a symbolic story: a “small deer” who once hid in the shadows now embraces its glow and learns to soar without fear. From the bold countdown, “3! 2! 1! I’m all RED-DY to go,” to the confident declaration, “Hidin’ no more, this is my moment to blow,” the song merges holiday spirit with an inspiring message of self-empowerment.

“This song is a reminder that everyone has a glow — even when the world says otherwise. We hope ‘RED-DY SET GO’ becomes a warm companion for anyone enduring their own winter. Wherever we go, together we glow.” – BIG OCEAN

The release also builds anticipation for Big Ocean’s year-end Paris concert HEARTSIGN on December 7, 2025, at Bataclan, a venue symbolising recovery and renewal. With the slogan “Warm again, Glow again,” the group says that they will deliver The Warmest Concert Ever this winter.
