Each track is paired with unique illustrations and visual effects that enhance the listening experience, leaving fans even more excited for the full release.


The album will feature ITZY’s first-ever double title tracks, "GOLD" and "Imaginary Friend," along with new songs such as "Bad Girls R Us," "Supernatural," "FIVE," and "VAY (Feat.
