ITZY are stepping into their next era. The group has officially announced their new album Motto, set for release on May 18, 2026, alongside a full tracklist and a visually striking teaser.
Unveiled on April 21, Motto will feature eight tracks led by its title song of the same name. The project blends full-group recordings with individual member spotlights.. Songs like “Glitch” and “you And I” anchor the group’s core sound, while solo entries include Yeji’s “Pocket,” Lia’s “Asylum,” Ryujin’s “LOOK,” Chaeryeong’s “Undefined,” and Yuna’s “Tangerine.”
A 2-minute trailer introduces surreal imagery, with the members climbing ladders into pastel skies and navigating rollercoaster tracks that form the word “motto.”
The release follows their November 10, 2025 EP Tunnel Vision, a genre-blending project that incorporated hip-hop, UK garage, R&B, and hyperpop elements. Produced by names including Dem Jointz and Ryan Jhun, the EP showcased a more experimental edge while maintaining their performance-driven identity. All five members contributed lyrically to the opening track “Focus,” signaling a growing creative involvement that appears to carry into Motto.
Earlier this year ITZY returned to the road. The Tunnel Vision World Tour launched February 13–15, 2026, with three consecutive shows at Jamsil Indoor Stadium in Seoul. Additional dates in Asia are scheduled for this summer.
