STAYC Drops Summer-Ready Single ‘I WANT IT’ on July 23
K-pop girl group STAYC (Sumin, Sieun, Isa, Seeun, Yoon, and J) is gearing up for a splashy summer comeback with their new special single I WANT IT, set to release on July 23. With the motto “Cool in attitude, hot in sound,” the release captures STAYC’s bold energy wrapped in feel-good summer vibes.
Summer = STAYC? They’re Ready to Prove It
Fans know it’s not summer without a STAYC anthem. Following addictive hits like ASAP, BEAUTIFUL MONSTER, and Bubble, their latest title track I WANT IT taps into a catchy hook and vibrant choreography. It’s shaping up to be another playlist staple for the season.
What sets this one apart? It’s not just about chasing trendiness. Through a relatable message—“Even imperfection is my power”—STAYC radiates confidence and cool-girl charm, defining summer not just in sound, but attitude.
Wider Sounds, Deeper Stories
Beyond the upbeat title track, the B-sides from I WANT IT show off a more nuanced side of STAYC. Honestly (반칙) features member Sieun as a lyricist, blending nostalgic synths and groovy bass to capture the dazed feelings of love with quirky warmth. Meanwhile, BOY dives into that fluttery emotional start with a mellow urban pop sound, showing the girls’ sonic versatility.
“The title track brings the fire, but the B-sides melt your heart.” Critics say the contrast adds a narrative dimension, giving fans more than just dance-all-night jams.
Also adding to the emotional layers is acclaimed lyricist Kim Eana, who lends her voice for a narration segment in the album’s highlight medley. Think soothing radio DJ voice walking you through each track—it’s dreamy, nostalgic, and very STAYC.
Level-Up Moment After Global Tour
This comeback follows STAYC’s second world tour ‘STAY TUNED’, which took them across Japan, Jakarta, Oceania, and Thailand. Building on performances from their successful TEENFRESH tour, the group plans to channel all that global love into newfound stage confidence.
The release of I WANT IT isn’t just another comeback—it’s a checkpoint in their journey as rising global stars. Later this year, STAYC will continue their journey with stops in Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei, and North America.
MV Drops Before the Comeback!
If you can’t wait for the drop, you’re not alone. STAYC is pre-releasing the music video two days early on July 21. Their videos are known for slick visuals and narrative depth—expect a feast for the eyes and ears.
Between the concept, the teaser-filled medley, and the pre-release MV, this comeback is crafted to keep fans tuned in and hyped up.
STAYC Sets the Tone for a Bold, Bright Summer
With I WANT IT, STAYC isn’t just riding the summer wave—they’re making it. Combining playful energy, musical growth, and a global gaze, this release marks a confident new chapter in their career.
