Kill My Doubt (stylized in all caps) is the seventh extended play (EP) by South Korean girl group Itzy, released on July 31, 2023, through JYP Entertainment, Republic Records, and Dreamus, eight months following the release of Cheshire (2022).

Contents

Inspired by the conversations shared by the members and their company following the release of Cheshire, Kill My Doubt lyrically revolves around the message of overcoming adversity and self-doubt. The EP comprises six tracks and is supported by the lead single "Cake". The release of the EP was preceded by music videos for album tracks "Bet on Me" and "None of My Business".

Background

In 2022, Itzy released their fifth and sixth extended plays. Checkmate, their fifth EP, was released on July 15 and was accompanied by a world tour of the same name, which ran from August 2022 to April 2023. [1] [2] While on tour, Itzy released their sixth EP, Cheshire, on November 30. [3]

While both releases were met with commercial success, [4] "Sneakers", the lead single of Checkmate, was subject to criticism and contention, in contrast to positive reception received by the album's B-side tracks. [5] Meanwhile, Cheshire was seen as a "mature update" to the quintet's sound, though the pre-release single "Boys Like You" was criticized by media outlets such as NME , for having "painfully juvenile" lyrics. [5]

Following the release of Cheshire, the quintet began working on their next release. [6] Such plans were first revealed by member Chaeryeong in an interview with the American morning program Good Day New York on May 22, 2023. [7] On June 18, Sports Chosun reported that Itzy would release new music in the summer, which would mark their first release in over seven months. [8] The following day, fans sent trucks bearing protest messages to the headquarters of JYP Entertainment demanding better treatment and promotion of the group. [9] Soon thereafter, JYP Entertainment announced the group's seventh extended play, titled Kill My Doubt, through a teaser trailer. [10] The trailer was followed by the release of the EP's track list and details of the promotion schedule. [11] Amid the promotions for the EP, the protests continued. [12]

Music and lyrics

"It is a story about what to do when you are most anxious and how to overcome it when it is the most difficult. Kill My Doubt is an album made based on the conversations we had at that time."

Lia,on her understanding of the EP on an interview with W Korea .

Kill My Doubt has runtime of 17 minutes and 41 seconds and consists of six tracks. Thematically, the album revolves around the message of overcoming adversity. [6] In an interview with W Korea , member Lia explained that the EP was derived on conversations from the one-on-one interviews between the members and the company's production team during the post-production phase of Cheshire. Member Yuna added that the EP intends to "deliver the message that we should overcome and regain our confidence". [13]

A variety of songwriters were involved in the writing of the extended play, including Black Eyed Pilseung, who had previously worked with Twice, and Park Jin-young. [14]

Songs

The opening track, "Bet on Me", is a pop song inspired by Park's conversations with the members. [15] The song departs from the quintet's characteristic powerful style and delves into a vulnerable approach, exploring themes of anxiety, confidence, and empowerment. [16] [17] "Cake", the second track, serves as the EP's lead single, and is characterized by the use of energetic brass and drum sounds, expressing the members' confidence. [18] The third track, "None of My Business", is a pop song that expresses apathy towards a former lover characterized a mellow, rhythmic sound. [6] [19] [20]

Music videos

In addition to the lead single, "Cake", B-side tracks "Bet on Me" and "None of My Business" also received music videos, serving as pre-releases. [30] In a media interview, member Ryujin explained that "Bet on Me" received a music video as the song "best interprets the meaning of the album", while "None of My Business" received a music video as the song's characteristic rhythmic sound was suited for a summer release. [31]

[19] The video for "Bet on Me" aimed to capture the feeling of being alone, [34] depicting the members in everyday settings, wearing clothing contrasting with their usual bold outfits. [35] It ends with the members running through a dark tunnel, towards a bright light. [36] In the summer-themed video for "None of My Business", the members perform choreography created by Lachica.

[41] More concept art followed the next day, in which the members were seen in hip-hop inspired outfits. [42] Concept art released on July 13 depicted them in a locker room. [43]

Cho Sung-woon of Sports Donga compared the concept photos for "Bet on Me" to a movie poster, describing them as having a "melancholic tone". [33] The first teaser trailer for "Cake" showcased the members in matching red and white outfits with the text "cake", performing choreography on their hands. [44] In the second teaser trailer, the members were outdoors, where they spilled glitter and balloons from a truck. [45]
