“Animal” (KATSEYE)
Sophia: If you’re searching for that new, fresh, catchy song to have on repeat, listen to “Animal.” I found myself humming it endlessly after the first listen. It’s definitely a vibe I am sure many would enjoy.

Daniela: You gotta listen to “Animal” if you want to see KATSEYE in their most fearless era. It’s powerful, confident, and has that ‘I know who I am’ energy. The attitude, the performance, and the way everyone brings their own flavor makes it impossible not to replay.

Lara: “Animal” is a style of song that we haven’t done before. I think hearing Ed Sheeran’s influence in it is super cool and it has sort of a nostalgic feel. It showcases our vocals and maturity.

The melody is super catchy, so you’ll probably find yourself singing along before you know it. I think it’s a song everyone should check out and have fun with!

“Hootie Frutti” (KATSEYE)
Daniela: “Hootie Frutti” is my personal favorite because it brings such a fun Brazilian funk-inspired vibe that you don’t hear every day in pop. The rhythm makes you want to dance instantly, and it’s extra special getting to connect with it through Portuguese and Latin culture.

Lara: I love the production of this song. It makes me feel really hot and makes me want to dance. This song is definitely fiercer, but the video is even more fierce.

Megan: “Hootie Frutti,” it’s sexy and juicy.

“Bel Air” (KATSEYE)
Sophia: The perfect song I play when driving down the freeway. It makes me belt out with the windows down.

Megan: Charli xcx wrote this song and it’s a perfect song to drive to.

Yoonchae: “Bel Air” is perfect for a drive and has a nostalgic pop vibe. If you like that kind of sound, I think you’ll really enjoy this song.

“That Way” (KATSEYE)
Sophia: Probably my favourite one off the EP. It was the most fun to record and you can definitely tell when you hear it.

Daniela: “That Way” is the song you play when you need a little reminder to enjoy life. It has that feel-good energy that makes you want to roll down the windows, sing along, and just have a good day.

Lara: This is my new favorite KATSEYE song. Undeniably good. I would definitely add to my own playlist.

Megan: “That Way” showcases our vocals and is a super fun song.

Yoonchae: It has such a great groove and always puts me in a good mood. It’s actually one of my favorites, and I think it’s a really fun song to listen to anytime.

“Unloveu” (KATSEYE)
Sophia: The vulnerability this song brings is delivered in such a cool way. Lara poured so much into it and it’s the most personal song we have.

Daniela: “Unloveu” shows a completely different side of KATSEYE. Lara’s writing really shines because it’s emotional, honest, and so singable. It’s a beautiful ballad that lets you feel the vulnerability behind the voices and the story.

Lara: I wrote and produced the song and I’m really proud of how we all sound on it. It showcases a very genuine emotional side to us and there’s a lot of beauty in this song. It really means a lot to me and feels like a piece of me.

Yoonchae: “Unloveu” really showcases our vocals, and Lara wrote this song so it’s very special. If you’ve been waiting to hear a more vocal-focused emotional side of us, I think you’ll really enjoy this track.

“Can’t Be Tamed” (Miley Cyrus)
Sophia: I always recommend this because of how much the song, the music video, and Miley have sparked the flame in me to become a popstar. The rawness she brought and how she tells a story of being herself without limitations taught me how to own it.

“hate that i made you love me” (Ariana Grande)
Daniela: It’s a beautiful, emotional song with amazing vocals. Ariana really makes you feel the story behind the lyrics.

“Other Side Of The Game” (Erykah Badu)
Lara: I really love the songwriting and the song has been with me through many phases of my life. I first heard it when I was 15 and it was the most inspiring thing I have ever heard. There is so much depth in this song, but also the lyrics are very conversational and direct, which I love.

“Perfect Lover” (Britney Spears)
Megan: This song, I feel like myself when I listen to it. It makes me feel really hot and confident.

“Joy, Sorrow, A Beautiful Heart” (AKMU)
