I NEVER DIE
I NEVER DIE (2022) is i-dle's first full-length album, a defiant comeback that refuses to play nice. Its tracks swing from a messy post-breakup spiral and a self-aware villain to a tired goodbye, a nostalgic photo, a comforting escape and the members' swaggering rap cut. The vocabulary covers anger and regret, break-up talk, and the everyday words for feeling overwhelmed and needing a break.
