The six-member girl group released their song with a music video on Friday, June 28, showcasing their singing talent and groovy dance moves.

KATSEYE was formed from the audition program The Debut: Dream Academy under South Korea’s HYBE Labels, which takes charge of groups like BTS, SEVENTEEN, and NewJeans. It's also under the United States’ Geffen Records, which houses talents like Olivia Rodrigo and Kali Uchis.

In November 2023, Laforteza was confirmed as one of its members after securing a spot in the final round of the competition.

Aside from Laforteza, KATSEYE also consists of Lara, Megan, and Daniela from the USA; Manon from Switzerland; and Yoonchae from South Korea.

Following Debut, the group is set to release their second single in July and their first EP titled SIS (Soft is Strong) in August.
