The upcoming album features four songs: “Lovesick,” “Moonlit Club,” “Scent” and “Favorite Reason.” The title track was written by Choi Si-yoo and Wang Se-yoon of Swedish Laundry, with composition by mOnSteR nO.9 and Jonna Hall. mOnSteR nO.9 also handled the arrangement, placing the producer at the center of the lead single’s creative team.
Elsewhere on the tracklist, “Moonlit Club” features lyrics by Ban Ye-ji of ARTiffect, with composition by Shim Eun-ji, Lee Hye-sol and ADORA. Lee Hye-sol is credited with the arrangement. “Scent” brings together lyricists Kwon Ye-rim and Hong Ra-im of 153/Joombas, while its composition and arrangement credits include SEORA, HONEYSWEAT and members of the NINE production team.
The closing track, “Favorite Reason,” is particularly notable for CHAERYEONG’s direct involvement. She shares lyric-writing credit with Lee An of ARTiffect, while Young Chance, Rebbi James, Rollie and Josefin Glenmark are credited as composers. Rollie also arranged the song, giving the final track an international team of collaborators.
The promotional schedule begins with concept photos on October 26, followed by music video teasers in early November and a countdown live ahead of the album’s release. A performance video is scheduled for November 12, extending the rollout beyond debut day. The US physical album and “Lovesick (English Ver.)” are set to arrive on November 13.
For CHAERYEONG, Lovesick represents a significant milestone after years of activities with ITZY. Since debuting with the group in February 2019 through IT’z Different and its title track “Dalla Dalla,” she has built a reputation for precise choreography, fluid movement and a distinctive stage presence. Her individual projects have included “Mine,” a self-written and co-composed track from ITZY’s Born to Be, as well as soundtrack releases such as “21” and “Midnight Glow.”
