The ninth season of Daniel's Song Race was set premiere in 2021, on SCF. Fourteen contestants were selected to compete in the running.

On 2 February 2021, Daniel's Song Race was announced to run its ninth season. The casting for the competition opened on the same day.

The promo theme for season seven was confirmed to be "Colour Blocking". Special photos of each contestant were taken in the promo theme photo shooting before the beginning of the season.

On 26 May 2021 it was announced that Daniel's Song Race Season 9 would be cancelled due to Daniel not being able to run the show with the same quality as previous seasons. A return of the show had been ruled out.

The Reboot
On 17 February 2022, a teaser was posted on the YouTube channel of Daniel's Song Race suggesting a return of the series in summer 2022. It was later confirmed by Daniel that Season 9 would be rebooted with the original cast queens getting first dibs on returning to the competition.

An announcement had been made on March 4th, 2022 that all competitors who were set to compete in the original run were returning to the season reboot. It was revealed that one additional queen would be cast via online competition including a public voting, which raised the number of contestants to fifteen in total.

Withdrawal
One not disclosed queen withdrew from the competition before the promo shoots were released, bringing the number of contestants back to fourteen.

Before the full cast was revealed, a wildcard casting round was announced. An additional fifteenth queen would be voted into the competition via an online poll. Introductory videos of the applicants were made before the voting had opened. Three contestants were set up for the online poll. 21 voters were counted. Megan Thee H&M Retail Manager won the wildcard with 52.38% of the votes.
