After LIKE

Release Date: August 22, 2022
"What comes after 'LIKE'?" The bold way of love of 'Gen Z' IVE.

Standing at the center of global K-pop with just two albums, the girl group 'IVE' heralds a new era. Having seized the title of 'representative 4th generation girl group' right upon debut, IVE has built a solid fandom by breaking away from the standardized universes of the existing K-pop scene and emphasizing their unrivaled group identity and team color. With differentiated confidence proven by results, IVE's third syndrome begins.

Released last April, 'LOVE DIVE' recorded total sales of over 700,000 copies, ranked in the Top 50 of the global music platform Spotify's Global Chart, and took 1st place on Melon's monthly chart for June. Furthermore, even after concluding their promotions, their winning streak on music shows continued, achieving 10 wins. Their debut song was no different. 'ELEVEN' caused a sensation by winning 13 music show trophies and surpassing 140 million views on YouTube. Having achieved successive successes in domestic and international performance, buzzworthiness, and public appeal, expectations for their new song are also high. IVE, who has been red-hot from the start, colors the best moment with diverse colors.

"What comes after 'LIKE'?" After LIKE? The love of 'Gen Z' IVE

IVE once again calls for a confident attitude towards love based on 'self-love'. "After LIKE" is a song that sings about a specific way of loving, saying 'I will show you my colorful charms, so now show me with your actions, not just your heart,' and it pairs perfectly with a refreshing vibe. It is especially impressive how various genres like EDM, pop, and house blend together based on a kick rhythm to create a glamorous atmosphere. The lyrics are also powerful, such as 'Don't dare doubt the feelings I just said / It's not just that I like it / What's After 'LIKE'?'.

Placed as an extension of 'LOVE DIVE', which contained the message to dive in whenever you have the courage to love, it is enough to feel a different charm from the sensibility shown in their previous music. K-pop hitmaker Ryan Jhun produced the track, lyricist Seo Ji-eum captured the bold message of Generation Z in the lyrics, and IVE member REI participated in rap making to enhance its perfection. Another b-side track, 'My Satisfaction', is a song that gives a magnificent feeling under a heavy beat, exuding IVE's elegance and intense energy.

IVE, for whom the two keywords of confidence and freedom are not enough to explain them, is ready to change the K-pop landscape once again. Following 'ELEVEN', which declared their perfect combination, and 'LOVE DIVE', which revealed the visuals and confident attitude of the six members, it is time to prove their presence once more with 'After LIKE', filled with colorful charms. IVE, who was perfect from the beginning, confidently heralds a new era.
