IVE has surprised fans with a sneak peek of their upcoming title track.
Sneak Preview of 'XOXZ'
On August 18, the group shared a challenge video for XOXZ, the title song from their 4th mini album IVE SECRET, via their official social media. The clip unveiled part of the lyrics, including lines like "Give me the X, Give me the O, Give me the LOVE, if it's you, I want it all, XOXZ," instantly catching listeners' attention. Addictive phrases such as "Give me the max, Give me the top, Give me the good energy, take it all" further amplified the excitement.
The choreography also stood out, featuring formations spelling out L, O, V, E with arms and hands, along with playful gestures like twisting hair and bold steps forward with outstretched arms.
A Powerful Comeback
IVE is making a comeback after about seven months, following the massive success of IVE EMPATHY in February, which achieved 5 consecutive million-seller status, a perfect all-kill on music charts, and 11 music show wins.
The new album introduces a fresh concept, Evil Cupid, portraying a self-empowered Cupid who aims the arrow for themselves. IVE SECRET includes six tracks in total: the title track XOXZ, along with Midnight Kiss, Wild Bird, Dear, My Feelings, Gotcha, and Beep. Members Jang Wonyoung and Liz participated in the songwriting process, contributing to the group's distinct musical identity.
IVE SECRET will officially be released on August 25 at 6 PM.
