The global K-pop force drops their new 8-track EP today via JYP Entertainment, and it\u2019s their most sonically varied release yet, moving across pop, identity-driven anthems, and deeply personal solo moments in a single cohesive package.<\/p>\n<p>The EP opens with its focus track \u201cMotto,\u201d an upbeat pop statement about devotion and total commitment, arriving with a playful, high-energy music video that matches the song\u2019s momentum beat for beat. \u201cGlitch\u201d follows with a sharper edge, a reminder that the things that set you apart are exactly what make you shine. \u201cYou and I\u201d then pulls the record into more emotionally intense territory, exploring the full rush of falling in love.<\/p>\n<p>The final 4 tracks are where \u2018Motto\u2019 goes somewhere genuinely exciting. Each member delivers a solo song, Yeji with \u201cPocket,\u201d Lia with \u201cAsylum,\u201d Ryujin with \u201cLook,\u201d Chaeryeoung with \u201cUndefined,\u201d and Yuna with \u201cTangerine,\u201d giving fans a focused look at what each of them brings individually. Fans got a first taste of these tracks during the group\u2019s 3rd World Tour live shows earlier this year, and hearing them in full studio form is a different experience entirely.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Motto\u2019 arrives during a strong stretch for the Itzy universe. Yuna\u2019s solo EP \u2018Ice Cream\u2019 recently reached #6 on the Billboard U.S. World Albums chart. Before that, the group\u2019s \u2018Tunnel Vision\u2019 EP debuted at #4 on the same chart, their 2nd consecutive release to hit that position following \u2018Girls Will Be Girls.\u2019 The momentum across both group and solo projects is consistent and building.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Motto\u2019 is out now.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Motto\u2019 Tracklist:<\/p>\n<p>Motto<\/p>\n<p>Glitch<\/p>\n<p>You And I<\/p>\n<p>Pocket (Yeji)<\/p>\n<p>Asylum (Lia)<\/p>\n<p>Look (Ryujin)<\/p>\n<p>Undefined (Chaeryeoung)<\/p>\n<p>Tangerine (Yuna)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Itzy are back, and \u2018Motto\u2019 makes an immediate statement.
