STAYC Drops Special Summer Single Ahead of Full Comeback
K-pop girl group STAYC — consisting of Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, and J — is ready to turn up the heat this summer. On July 23, they’ll officially drop their special single ‘I WANT IT’, marking their bold return with an energetic summer anthem that captures the group’s signature cool yet vibrant vibe.
A Winning Formula: STAYC’s Summer Track Record
From chart-toppers like ‘ASAP’ and ‘Bubble’ to the heartfelt ‘Beautiful Monster,’ STAYC has carved a niche for themselves with catchy hooks and feel-good summer vibes. With ‘I WANT IT’, they’re doubling down on this formula: a playful yet confident track bursting with energy and infectious beats that will anchor itself on listeners’ seasonal playlists.
Under the empowering message “imperfection is my strength,” the song promotes a cool and confident attitude — a perfect anthem for the sunshine season.
Exploring New Genres and Emotions
The album dives deeper into STAYC’s versatility with standout B-side tracks. ‘Honestly’ showcases member Sieun’s songwriting skills and captures the emotional turbulence of love through a retro wood synth sound. Meanwhile, ‘BOY’ introduces a mid-tempo urban pop sound filled with delicate emotions at the start of a romance — highlighting STAYC’s expanding musical spectrum.
Adding a unique touch, renowned lyricist Kim Eana narrates the album’s highlight medley in a warm radio-style tone, offering deeper insight into each track’s message and enriching listeners’ experience.
Global Tour Fuels STAYC’s Bold New Era
This single arrives on the heels of STAYC’s successful second world tour ‘STAY TUNED’, which took them across Japan, Jakarta, Oceania, and Thailand. Building on the performance skills and global fan connections developed since their debut tour ‘TEENFRESH’, the group now brings their international confidence back home. ‘I WANT IT’ symbolizes this evolution — a maturation from rising stars to seasoned performers.
As they connect domestic and global promotions, fans can expect this album to be a central piece in STAYC’s ongoing worldwide journey, with upcoming stops in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, and North America later this year.

Adding even more excitement, STAYC’s high-impact music video for ‘I WANT IT’ will be released two days early on July 21. Known for their cinematic visuals and clear narrative messages, fans are eagerly anticipating how STAYC will visually capture the essence of their new summer anthem ahead of the official release.
