    Beloved for their honest, confident energy and fresh charm, STAYC returns this summer with their special 3-track special single I WANT IT, delivering an addictive hook and energetic vibes that blow away the heat and weight of everyday life.

    This new release showcases a new side of STAYC, blending their signature brightness with a cooler, more laid-back attitude that perfectly captures the feeling of summer. The special single features three tracks: the title track “I WANT IT”, along with “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!”

  • STAYC Releases New Digital Single “…l (Dot Dot Dot)”|

    STAYC Releases New Digital Single “…l (Dot Dot Dot)”|

    STAYC, the dynamic K-pop girl group (Sumin, Sieun, ISA, Seeun, Yoon, J), has returned with the release of their new digital single, “…ㅣ (Dot Dot Dot)”, their first autumn confessional song, on October 30th at 6PM KST.

     “Aren’t you curious about me?”

    “It always seems like you don’t need me, but I need you.”

    STAYC, known for exploring fresh styles and concepts with each release, takes on the role of bold crush confessors this fall. Their latest single delves into the growth and vulnerability of young love, telling a relatable story of a ‘failed crush’ that resonates deeply with fans in their teens and twenties. As part of their promotion STAYC has launched an AI chatbot ‘Dot Dot Dot Bot’, sparking excitement among fans. The playful, pink-themed bot invites fans to engage in a whimsical “crush consultation”, with the message “Answer me, Dot Dot Dot Bot” displayed on screen. Fans can share their crush-related dilemmas and receive responses from the chatbot, complete with a personalised “success rate” in percentages, adding a fun touch to the experience.

     “…ㅣ (Dot Dot Dot)” marks STAYC’s first release since their full-length album Metamorphic in July, which featured bold hit “Cheeky Icy Thang”. With this single STAYC introduces a distinct, autumn-inspired aesthetic that adds depth to their musical repertoire, infusing their growing catalog with a unique, enchanting vibe.

     The single title,“…l (Dot Dot Dot)”, symbolises a messaging screen with “Typing ...” without a reply—a subtle metaphor for the anticipation and longing that comes with waiting for an unanswered message. The focus track, “GPT”, cleverly draws a comparison between an unresponsive crush and “GPT”—someone who replies indifferently to continuous questions, capturing the essence of unrequited curiosity. With a blend of sincerity and wit, STAYC gives voice to the universal experience of unreturned feelings, making their story both relatable and poignant.

    Musically,“GPT” combines funky rhythms with chill synths, creating a unique French House vibe. The witty and memorable lyrics, like “Answer me, GPT, aren’t you curious about me?”, convey the intensity of unreciprocated interest. The track opens with a fairy-tale-like intro before flowing into a dreamy tempo shift, leaving listeners a lasting impression.

    To enhance the experience, this digital single also includes two additional versions: “GPT – Instrumental”, highlighting the urban French House elements, and “GPT – Acapella”, which emphasises the warmth of STAYC’s vocals and the song’s emotional depth, making it ideal for remix potential.

    As the perfect companion to “GPT”, the track “Meant To Be” presents a nostalgic story of romance transcending time and worlds. Inspired by a girl traveling through time to find her destined love, the song captures the magic of a connection that defies distance. With heartfelt lyrics like, “I’ve crossed long periods of time and the universe to meet the star, and it’s you”, the song beautifully conveys the sentimentality of a love that endures.
