The group made its debut in Japan in December 2020 with the single "Step and a step," which reached the No. 1 position on both the Oricon Singles Chart and the Billboard Japan Singles Chart. In October 2023, NiziU released its Korean debut single album, "Press Play."

NiziU was formed through JYP Entertainment's “Globalization by Localization” project, which aims to adapt the K-pop system to international markets. The group was created via the “Nizi Project,” a joint audition program with Sony Music Entertainment, which concluded in June 2020.

The all-Japanese girl group comprises nine members: Mako, Rio, Maya, Riku, Ayaka, Mayuka, Rima, Miihi, and Nina.
