STAYC returns for the Summer with a ‘Cool’ Attitude and a ‘Hot’ New Sound with “I WANT IT”
KPOP group STAYC returns for the summer with a special 3-track single titled “I WANT IT” which promises to deliver fun and positive vibes with an energetic hook that’s sure to blow away the heat and the stress of everyday life!
This new single will also focus on another side of the girl group, zooming in on the group’s signature brightness blended together with a “cooler, and more laid-back attitude” that encapsulates what the summer is all about. This can be heard in the three tracks for this single titled – “I WANT IT”, “BOY” and “Honestly(반칙)”.
Title track “I WANT IT” is an electronic dance-pop song with a powerful synth riff and rhythmic progression that creates an instantly addictive hook. The lyric “Good things we ok” encapsulates a mindset of staying true to oneself and moving forward with unwavering confidence, even in life’s uncertainties. The message “Even my imperfections are my weapons” reflects STAYC’s bold self-assurance and unique brand of coolness as they continue to embrace and celebrate who they truly are.
“BOY” is a medium-tempo urban pop track that layers dreamy synths over an 808 bassline. Its lyrics capture the honest, fluttering emotions felt at the start of love — adding a sweet and relatable note to the special single.
“Honestly(반칙)” (literally meaning “foul” or “unfair”) uses clever wordplay to express the feeling of constantly being pushed back in love. With its groovy bassline and retro wood synth sounds, the track creates a dreamy yet urban atmosphere that resonates with anyone who has felt love’s playful unfairness.
With I WANT IT, STAYC continues to evolve their sound and image, combining honest storytelling with an irresistibly refreshing vibe. Whether fans are celebrating with friends, finding confidence in themselves, or simply soaking up the summer heat, STAYC’s music is here to be the soundtrack for unforgettable moments.
As they proudly declare: “Good things we ok!”
