Global Debut for SAY MY NAME with Retro Reimagined Summer Bop
Meet the latest rookies heating up the K-pop scene—SAY MY NAME is officially making waves with their first-ever single ‘iLy’, which dropped today at 6 p.m. KST across major music platforms. It marks their official entry into the bustling summer comeback season, and they’re diving in headfirst.
A Funky Homage to a Romantic Classic
‘iLy’ brings a playful, high-teen flair to the globally beloved track ‘Can’t Take My Eyes Off You’ by Frankie Valli. Instead of a gust of nostalgia, this rendition reinvents the tune with UK garage-inspired beats and a splash of modern dance-pop energy. Think soft serve on a heatwave day—cool, addictive, and impossible to put down.
What makes this single earworm-worthy? A chant-filled hook that sticks, layered with romantic vibes, and topped off with SAY MY NAME’s breezy vocals. The catchy chorus is designed to loop endlessly in your head, and we’re not mad about it.
A New Member, a New Era
‘iLy’ is also the group’s first release since welcoming their eighth member, Shui. Her arrival is adding a colorful new layer to the group’s dynamic, pushing the boundaries of their performance and vocal chemistry. Fans are buzzing over this refreshed lineup—and yes, expectations are high.
First Live Performance on ‘Music Bank’
The group isn’t wasting any time—they’re set to perform ‘iLy’ for the very first time on tonight’s KBS2’s ‘Music Bank’, marking their live debut as a full 8-member act. Between the sun-soaked melody and the group’s energy, it’s bound to be a memorable performance.
SAY MY NAME is also teasing “diverse activities” in the coming months, hinting at a bigger game plan to connect with the global K-pop fandom. As they say themselves, they’re aiming for a tomorrow that’s even brighter than today.
