ILLIT is making waves ahead of their return, and it's all thanks to a title that's as curious as it is catchy. On May 22, BELIFT LAB unveiled the tracklist and highlight medley for ILLIT's upcoming 3rd mini album BOMB, set to drop on June 16.
😺 Title Track: 'Borrowed Cat (Do the Dance)'
The lead single, Borrowed Cat (Do the Dance), draws inspiration from the Korean idiom "like a borrowed cat"—a phrase used to describe someone timid or reserved in unfamiliar situations. But the subtitle Do the Dance flips the tone completely, suggesting movement, energy, and perhaps defiance.
This contrasting title hints at a deeper message, sparking curiosity about how ILLIT will blend vulnerability with empowerment in their concept.
🎶 Tracklist: 5 Songs, 5 Flavors
Alongside the title track, the album includes:
- little monster – Packed with a powerful hook
- jellyous – A fast-paced beat that sticks instantly
- oops! – A high-energy chorus and mood shift
- 밤소풍 (Night Picnic) – A lo-fi pop track with laid-back picnic vibes
The newly released highlight medley teases snippets from each song, showcasing ILLIT's signature addictive sound and trend-forward production.
💿 Album Drops June 16 at 6PM KST
BOMB revolves around themes of emotional interaction and "you-centered" storytelling. With such a bold title and diverse tracklist, ILLIT is ready to charm both fans and first-time listeners alike.
