KATSEYE are going WILD! The global girl group have released their third EP via HYBE x Geffen Records. Arriving on 14 August, the five-track project marks a new chapter for KATSEYE, capturing the growth and transformation they have experienced over the past two years.
The EP follows 2025's BEAUTIFUL CHAOS, which debuted in the top five of the Billboard 200 and earned the group a GRAMMY nomination. WILD features previously released singles 'PINKY UP' and 'Animal', alongside new tracks 'Hootie Frutti', 'Bel Air', and 'That Way'.
Coinciding with the EP's arrival is the official music video for 'Hootie Frutti'. Driven by Brazilian phonk-inspired percussion and maximalist pop production, the track sees KATSEYE leaning into a fiercer, more playful side. Its music video takes the group to a vibrant underground Brazilian party on the verge of wrapping up — until KATSEYE arrive and bring the energy back to life. Alfred Marroquin directed the visual, with production by Somesuch.
Elsewhere on WILD, 'Bel Air' explores the bittersweet feeling of outgrowing something once loved, while closing track 'That Way' turns its attention to power dynamics and desire. The project also includes 'Animal', a flirtatious pop anthem co-written by Ed Sheeran, and 'PINKY UP', which made its live debut at Coachella.
Physical editions available through Target and international retailers also include the bonus track 'Unloveu', written and produced by KATSEYE member Lara Raj alongside Amy Allen and Ross Golan.
The release arrives as KATSEYE gear up for their sold-out THE WILDWORLD TOUR, which begins at Dublin's 3Arena on 1 September. The global arena tour sold out in under 48 hours and includes two-night stops at The O2 in London, UBS Arena in Belmont Park, Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, and Palacio de los Deportes in Mexico City.
KATSEYE have also brought the WILD era to the big screen with KATSEYE: WILD HEARTS. Directed by Nadia Hallgren, the film features never-before-seen footage, EYEKONS fan videos, and interviews exploring the relationship between the group and their global fandom. Following its 4 August premiere at The Grove in Los Angeles, the film began a limited engagement across 1,700 cinemas in more than 60 countries. The movie is now showing at Shaw Theatres in Singapore.
