IVE is officially in comeback mode, and fans couldn’t be more excited. On July 31, 2025, the group dropped their very first teasers for “IVE SECRET,” their fourth EP, which is set to arrive on August 25. This marks their first release in about six months since “IVE EMPATHY.” The initial teasers showed the members in black, white, and silver outfits, hinting at a concept that is elegant yet bold.
Things got even more exciting on August 22 with the release of the teaser for the EP’s lead single, “XOXZ.” The cinematic trailer shows the members riding on a massive truck platform through what appears to be a futuristic city. Their glamorous visuals, paired with a quick taste of the track, where the group chants the song’s title, probably made fans levitate across their rooms with IVE magic.
Now, the girl group has unveiled the official highlight medley for the album, and it’s packed with variety. The main single “XOXZ” blends R&B and pop with a trap edge, while “Wild Bird” follows with pop energy. “Dear, My Feelings” slows things down with a disco-pop vibe, and “GOTCHA (Baddest Eros)” leans into mystery. “Beats” brings playful tropical influences with trap snares, and “Midnight Kiss” closes the project on a soft and sweet note.
