LITZ (presented in all caps) was a Filipino female ensemble managed by Viva. Established in May 2020, the members were carefully selected by Viva executive Vic del Rosario. In November 2021, they introduced their pre-debut single, a rendition of "Natataranta" () originally by James Reid, alongside the announcement of the lineup: Ashtine Olviga, Heart Ryan Evangelista, Bianca Santos, Fatima Añonuevo, and Yumi Garcia.
Their official debut single, titled "Kidlat" (), was launched on March 8, 2022, across all streaming platforms. The accompanying music video debuted in April; shortly thereafter, Yumi parted ways with the group. On July 15, they appeared at the inaugural Tugatog Filipino Music Festival. By late 2022, specifically between November and December, LITZ had effectively ceased activities.

2020–2022: Formation, debut activities, and dissolution
In May 2020, Viva Records assembled LITZ. A year following their formation, the group underwent training under dance instructor Georcelle Dapat-Sy. The members unveiled in November 2021 included Ashtine Olviga (22), Bianca Santos (20), Fatima Añonuevo (20), Heart Ryan Evangelista (19), and Yumi Garcia (18). Each member was personally chosen by Viva executive Vic del Rosario. Initially comprised of six members, one departed due to circumstances related to the COVID-19 pandemic. That same month, LITZ released their pre-debut track—a cover of "Natataranta."
Their first live appearance took place during the Arrival digital concert on November 27. On March 8, 2022, they launched their official debut single "Kidlat," composed by Marion Aunor and arranged by Cool Cat Ash from Aunorable Productions. The song explores themes of a complicated romantic dynamic and highlights powerful vocal performances despite its moderate pace. The music video premiered at Fisher Mall on April 1 before being made available online. Later that month, Yumi formally exited the group.
LITZ partnered with Alamat to produce "Summer to the Max" for the streaming platform VMX (formerly Vivamax). Their cover of "Natataranta" was also included on the Pa Thirsty soundtrack for VMX films. On July 15, 2022, they performed both "Natataranta" and "Kidlat" at the Tugatog Filipino Music Festival held at SM Mall of Asia Arena.
Various reports identify 2022 as the year marking their effective disbandment. According to a November 2023 article from Philippine Entertainment Portal, LITZ unofficially disbanded around late November or early December 2022.[2] This was later corroborated by Nylon Manila in 2025.[3]
