New boy group IDID has taken its first steps with a powerful pre-debut track ahead of its official debut. The new song "STEP IT UP," filled with bold aspirations and unstoppable energy, is a track that clearly imprints the team's identity and direction, hinting at a new story unique to IDID.
IDID released the digital single "STEP IT UP" along with its music video on various music sites on the 24th at 6 p.m.
IDID is a seven-member rookie boy group launched by Starship Entertainment, known as the home of artists. The group consists of Jang Yong-hoon, Kim Min-jae, Park Won-bin, Choo Yoo-chan, Park Sung-hyun, Baek Jun-hyuk, and Jung Se-min, who secured their official debut through the global project "Debut's Plan."
The team name IDID originates from the declaration "I did it," encompassing the aspiration of 'eventually achieving anything.' The raw, unrefined energy, positive attitude, and instinctive vibe that radiates on stage are unique charms of IDID.
IDID's single "STEP IT UP" is not only a pre-debut song but also a track from their first mini album "I did it," serving as a declaration for IDID to boldly pursue their own path through honest expression and a free attitude.
With an 808 bass and a heavy beat combined with bright yet solid rap, the song brings a fresh mood to a familiar hip-hop format. The confidence of rookies on stage and the tension of starting before their debut coexist, leaving a strong impression on listeners.
"Cross the line / Guessin' who I am / Drive me high / Step over the next stage / Come along / It's started for us / Catch me outside if you tryna get lit lit / Step it up (Step, step, step, step it) / One step higher / Take me away / Step it up (Step, step, step, step it) / Catch me outside if you tryna get with me"
The music video released alongside also leaves a strong impression. The performances set against rugged rocky mountains and vast nature encapsulate IDID's overflowing energy, while the precise choreography and camera work harmoniously complete the team's visual identity.
Having made a successful first step with the pre-debut track "STEP IT UP," IDID is set to begin its full-fledged activities with its official debut album on Sept. 15. Expectations are high for what new charms they will display on their official debut stage.
