Global pop group KATSEYE brings a confident new attitude to “That Way,” the fifth track off their third EP “WILD.”
The rollout for this one had real intention behind it. Three days before the EP’s release, KATSEYE debuted “That Way” live for their biggest Spotify listeners at an invite-only Klub KATSEYE event in New York on August 11. Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae performed as a quartet, since Sophia Laforteza and Manon Bannerman remain on hiatus focusing on their mental health. So the group chose to preview their boldest track without their full lineup, which says something about how much confidence they have in the song itself.
That confidence carries through the writing too. “That Way” centers on self-worth and personal boundaries, pushing back against settling in a relationship that no longer serves you. Rather than dressing that message up in metaphor, the group delivers it directly, matching the lyrical clarity with an energetic pop production built for impact.
This song is the closer to “WILD,” and it also fits into a pattern KATSEYE has established thru “Pinky Up” and “Internet Girl” — bold, unapologetic pop that favors attitude over subtlety. As a four-woman group navigating a transitional era, “That Way” shows they can still deliver a defining moment even at reduced numbers.
“WILD” lands in full on August 14, and this closer sets the tone for what comes before it – which member’s energy stood out most to you in the live debut?
