The K-pop rookie ITZY makes a comeback on July 29, 2019.
In February this year, ITZY made a splendid debut with the release of its first digital single album ‘IT’z Different’ with the title track ‘DALLA DALLA.’ It recorded many ‘first’ and ‘best’ accomplishments and became the super rookie of 2019. The music video for their debut song ‘DALLA DALLA’ hit 10 million views 18 hours after release and 100 million views after 57 days, which is the shortest period recorded among the K-pop artists at their debut. ITZY has also received 9 awards on music shows including their first place prize received within the shortest period, keeping up the fame of JYP as the best girl group production company and remarking a sign of their success.
Based on these accomplishments, the best rookie ITZY is making a comeback with its new album ‘IT’z ICY’ for summer!

The title track ‘ICY’ is a 2019 summer song that depicts cold faces with strong passion inside. In this song, the five members filled with high ambition and confidence cool down the hot summer and continue to head upwards.
It takes a step forward from its last song ‘DALLA DALLA,’ which imparts a message that ‘I’ am the center of the world and ‘I’ should respect and love oneself, and talks about confidence and conviction about oneself. The combination of straightforward lyrics and lively ITZY members creates an energetic vibe.
Lyrics that say “The dream inside me. I am confident.” and “I know my answer.” show that one should focus their inner value based on the love and faith in oneself instead of being tied to answers and rules. This song delivers an empathetic message that they understand you as you are and respect individual differences.
Many talented songwriters have participated in ‘IT’z ICY’ to produce a quality album. ‘ICY’ is the first song J. Y. Park has ever written for ITZY. In addition to J. Y. Park, this cooling summer song is produced collectively by Penomeco, a skillful producer and rapper, Cazzai Opeia, a producer of TWICE’s ‘Dance The Night Away,’ Ellen Berg, a writer of Red Velvet’s ‘Peek-A-Boo,’ Daniel Caesar and Ludwig Lindell, producers of Red Velvet’s ‘Red Flavor,’ and Lauren Dyson, a producer of BTS’s ‘I’m Fine’ and ‘Home,’ as well as Ashley Alisha and Cameron Neilson.
The group name ITZY means ‘EVERYTHING YOU WANT IT’Z IN US ITZY? ITZY!,’ which is well-depicted in the visual concept. The group looks refreshing and lovely but also energetic and powerful, making the audience to expect more about YEJI, LIA, RYUJIN, CHAERYEONG, and YUNA and their future accomplishments.
ITZY is called a ‘record maker’ for its spectacular debut and is now heading upwards. The five members have more records to make in the future. Based on their potential, they are set to raise their dignity as JYP Entertainment’s 4th generation girl group.
