Every member of KATSEYE is talented in their own unique way, but when they come together, they’re as dazzling as a gemstone shining brilliantly in all directions. With their six members from six different cities spread across three continents, they’re single-handedly crafting a new wave of K-pop. Below, the girls not only give a look at everything from the gentler emotions to the unshakable self-confidence that’s gone into their first mini album SIS (Soft Is Strong) but also some of the songs they like to listen to to get a boost of energy as well.
KATSEYE - "MY WAY"
DANIELA: Despite making mistakes or facing consequences, it's about the freedom to live life on your own terms. It emphasizes the importance of personal agency and authenticity, even if things don’t go perfectly. In many ways, my lines in this song express the struggle of feeling out of place in a world that expects perfection. It's about embracing your unique beauty!
LARA: I think "MY WAY" is our most personal and vulnerable song on the project. Our individual stories and hardships are really reflected in the song, and also I feel like it showcases our bond and vocal blend the most. I'm obsessed with this song and secret its my personal fav along with touch😍
MANON: "MY WAY" is such a beautiful song. I think it has a bit of all of the girls stories in it and it’s a really emotional song.
MEGAN: This is a track that tells all of our stories so beautifully. This is such a coming of age song, that I feel everyone came relate to! This song also shows our vulnerability in the lyrics.
SOPHIA: "MY WAY" gives me a lot of comfort. I personally have a hard time sometimes loosening up a little bit growing up. Whenever I'd take that risk, I’d remind myself that no matter the outcome, I did it My Way.
YOONCHAE: This song contains our story and the lyrics are relatable to everyone, so you'll enjoy it even more if you listen carefully to the lyrics.
KATSEYE - "Debut"
DANIELA: As our first song, "Debut" is about being bold and authentic, delivering a message of empowerment, and confidence. It reminds us to stay true to our values and It talks about the real beauty and strength of sisterhood and that we are there for each other in this new chapter in life.
LARA: "Debut" is our first statement as Katseye. Its fierce, hot, and powerful and shows our strength as a group. We want to make our audience feel confident and inspired to be unapologetically themself when listening to "Debut"!
KATSEYE - "Touch"
MANON: I think "Touch" is a feel good song! The lyrics are very relatable and fun. It highlights our “soft” side and overall is probably the Katseye fav of the EP.
SOPHIA: Definitely one of my favourite songs, it never fails to get stuck in my head. It’s my favourite song to rehearse and perform too! I always have so much fun with it 🩷
KATSEYE - "I’m Pretty"
SOPHIA: Just like the title, I think this song is just so pretty. We worked very hard and put a lot of heart into the little adlibs all around as well. The vulnerable and soft message it brings was the first thing I related to the most.
YOONCHAE: "I’m Pretty" is one that you can hear the members beautiful harmony and has an addictive chorus, so you'll want to keep singing along.
KATSEYE - "Tonight I Might"
LARA: "Tonight I Might" is our dance party song LOL. I feel like for us, it's about forgetting your problems at least for one night and just letting go. It's about making dumb decisions and just having fun night partying with your girls!! It's soooo free!!!
MEGAN: "Tonight I Might" is such a carefree song! This is a nice song to listen to when you’re with your girls. It brings such a nice vibe to any occasion!
Kaytranada - "YOU'RE THE ONE (feat. SYD)"
DANIELA: I love a song that makes me wanna get up and dance and this song does just that.
Frank Ocean - "Pink Matter"
LARA: I have always loved frank ocean and his music has had such a big impact on me but this song is definitely my favorite Frank song. It never fails to make me cry and has gotten me through so much in my life. Frank Ocean has always been there for me :)
Laufey - "Letter To My 13 Year Old Self"
MANON: We recently went to go see Laufey live and I only knew a few songs of hers. When she played this song I was so touched by it. I felt like I could relate to every single lyric and it made me feel so seen. This song easily became one of my favorites because I just love when I can feel so inspired and connected to another artist’s work. Truly a masterpiece
LISA - "New Woman (Feat. ROSALÍA)"
MEGAN: This is one of my favorite songs right now ! I haven’t heard a song like this before and it has such a unique sound and vibe! I love this collab as well! It was one I didn't know I needed!
Rina Sawayama - "XS"
SOPHIA: The vibes I get and the energy I am filled with every time I hear this song is unmatched. It’s one of my confidence anthems! It’s a song little Sophia would’ve eaten up and danced to in her room pretending to be a popstar.
Maroon 5 - "This Love"
YOONCHAE: This song is a good song to listen to in a moving car. The drum sound makes me feel good when I listen to this song.
