IVE SWITCH

IVE SWITCH (2024) is IVE's second EP, with the folk-tale-inspired 해야 (HEYA) and the spell-casting Accendio as double title tracks. The songs switch between predator and enchantress, the cool-headed Blue Heart and Ice Queen, the opposites-attract crush of WOW and the chat-app breakup of RESET. Expect words for catching someone off guard, keeping your composure, and everyday phone and messaging language.
