ITZY will release their new mini-album, "GOLD," along with the title tracks "GOLD" and "Imaginary Friend," on October 15. Bursting onto the music industry with their digital single "IT'z Different" and title track "DALLA DALLA" on February 12, 2019, ITZY is showing their presence as a "leading fourth-generation K-Pop girl group" by captivating fans with their powerful performances and diverse charms. Recently, they went on their world tour, “ITZY 2ND WORLD TOUR ‘BORN TO BE,’” which is the same name as their mini album, “BORN TO BE,” released on January 8, traveling to 32 concert halls in 28 regions around the world and delivering thrilling energy on stage to domestic and foreign audiences. ITZY's new album, "GOLD," is based on the theme of "Our world is still different." It contains the stories and music of ITZY as they shine brightly, just like their album name. Establishing the group's unique style with challenging, and adventurous energy and unique concepts, ITZY has incorporated the album's message, "We are still different and will continue to be," in diverse visual content. In the trailer, the five members show their peculiarity, which deviates from the typical norm and maximizes their uniqueness. The teaser image also emphasizes ITZY's musical color and identity, using bold, original styling and extraordinary momentum. It is worth noting that ITZY will present a double title track for the first time since their debut through the upcoming album. The title track, "GOLD," sharing the same name as their new album, expresses the overwhelming and strange feelings of the moment when "my" world changes anew after meeting "you" by comparing it to the shining "gold." It is a song with a harmonious crossover between the rock sounds of intense electric guitars, groovy drums, and the hip-hop sounds of an 808 bass. Prominently powerful vocal shouting and charismatic rapping give an overwhelming sensation. Depicting the story of gold seekers captivated by ITZY, who shine brighter than gold, the music video for "GOLD" offers unique charms by adding unrealistic elements to the real world with wit and scale. The other title track, "Imaginary Friend," is a pop dance song that combines the sounds of vintage pop guitar, acoustic band sound, and melodious vocals. The lyrics, which waver on the ambiguous boundary of whether the imaginary friend who appears in the dream to protect "me" is an angel, the devil, or myself, maximize the listeners' imaginations and enhance the joy of listening to the song. Led by the two title tracks, the new album will feature a total of 11 songs, including "Bad Girls R Us," "Supernatural," "FIVE," a fan song celebrating the 5th anniversary of ITZY's debut; "VAY (Feat. CHANGBIN of Stray Kids)," a song featuring CHANGBIN, a member of Stray Kids, and the final versions of "BORN TO BE," "Mr. Vampire," "Dynamite," and "Escalator," tracks from ITZY's previous album sung by all five members.
