K-pop’s beloved six-member group STAYC is gearing up to set summer ablaze with their upcoming special single “I WANT IT”, slated for release on July 23, 2025, at 6 PM KST. Known for their addictive hooks and Gen Z flair, STAYC (under High Up Entertainment) is back with a bold and refreshing concept that captures the spirit of the season—unapologetically bright, playful, and powerful.
‘I WANT IT’ — More Than Just a Song
The title track, I WANT IT, is expected to deliver STAYC’s signature high-teen energy with a polished twist. From teaser previews, the track blends bubbly synths with a confident lyrical theme, encouraging listeners to embrace their desires without shame. The message is clear: Wanting something isn’t a weakness—it’s a power move.
The accompanying music video, now available on YouTube, showcases the girls in colorful, nostalgic California settings, radiating self-assurance while dancing under the summer sun. It’s a vibrant visual feast that aligns perfectly with STAYC’s ever-evolving style and youthful sound.
A Collectible Dream: Album Versions & Packaging
This special single isn’t just music—it’s a collectible experience. STAYC will release the album in multiple formats:
