By naming their album Metamorphic, which signifies change, STAYC aims to showcase their growth. This first studio album, produced by Black Eyed Pilseung (B.E.P.), was released four years after their debut and captures the story of their evolution and musical development. The six-member girl group has consistently displayed their unique, vibrant energy and quirkiness through the new genre term “TEENFRESH“. In this album, they expand their musical spectrum with various tracks that embody their confident and distinctive coolness and new narratives.
The album features “Twenty”, “1 Thing”, “Give It 2 Me”, “Let Me Know”, “Nada”, “Beauty Bomb”, “Gummy Bear”, “Flexing On My Ex”, and “Trouble Maker”. Additionally, it includes unit songs like “Find” by Sieun, Seeun and J, “Fakin’” by Sumin and Yoon, ISA’s solo song “Roses”, as well as the fan song “Stay WITH me” which was written by all the members, making a total of 14 tracks filling STAYC’s debut full-length album. The members’ active participation in songwriting and their contributions to unit and solo tracks underscores their musical growth and transformation.
The title track “Cheeky Icy Thang”, is a cool song with a hot attitude, evoking images of a confident runway strut on a sizzling summer street. It captures STAYC’s diverse charms—cool like ice, but hot and cheeky. High Up Entertainment’s representative producer Black Eyed Pilseung (B.E.P), participated in writing and composing the song, further expanding STAYC’s musical colour.
