i-dle releases We made EP alongside “Gimme Dat Love” music video

i-dle has officially returned with new music, releasing its ninth mini album, We made, on July 6 alongside the official music video for its title track, “Gimme Dat Love.” The highly anticipated EP is now available on all major streaming platforms, marking the group's latest chapter after its rebranding in 2025.

We made is the second release under the name i-dle, following the group's decision to drop the "(G)" from its name after renewing its contracts with Cube Entertainment. The album also continues the "We" narrative that began with the group's debut mini album We are in 2018, bringing the discography full circle while signaling a renewed creative direction.

The six-track project includes:

• Mono (feat. skaiwater)
• Gimme Dat Love (title track)
• Morning
• Crow
• Love Is Pain
• We Made

Leading the comeback is “Gimme Dat Love,” a Latin pop-inspired song that captures the excitement and intensity of two people becoming irresistibly attracted to each other. Released simultaneously with the album, the official music video embraces the vibrant energy of the track, delivering colorful visuals that complement its upbeat sound and summer atmosphere.

Ahead of the release, i-dle teased the project with the concept trailer We made love at 1-613°, a title referencing the melting point of gold. The imagery symbolizes transformation through change rather than destruction,

Reflecting the group's evolution as artists while staying true to the identity they have built throughout their career.

One of the defining aspects of We made is its creative process. Like many of the group's previous releases, the EP was largely self-produced, with leader Soyeon once again taking a central role in songwriting, composition and overall creative direction. The project reinforces i-dle's reputation as one of K-pop's leading self-producing groups, a distinction that has set them apart since their debut.

The album also follows the release of “Crow,” whose darker musical style generated considerable anticipation among fans about the direction of the group's next project. Rather than focusing on a single concept, We made presents a diverse collection of six tracks that showcase different moods while emphasizing the group's artistic versatility.

In addition to its digital release, the physical edition of We made is expected to include exclusive collectibles for fans, including a mini perfume set and other limited-edition items.

Since debuting in 2018, i-dle has built a reputation for reinventing its sound with each comeback through songs such as "TOMBOY," "Nxde," "Queencard" and "Super Lady." With We made, the group continues to expand its musical identity while reaffirming its commitment to creative independence.

The official music video for “Gimme Dat Love” is now available on YouTube, while We made can be streamed across all major music platforms.
