STAYC I WANT IT era

The Korean lyrics in “I WANT IT” are lovely. The repeated line “Good thing’s we ok” feels refreshing. ISA pronounces “okay” as “oh-kkei.”

STAYC filmed a music video abroad for the first time. Since 2024, their producer seems to be focused on music that grows more enjoyable the longer you listen.

Following “BEBE,” Sieun dives deeper into rap battles. The lyric “Even my flaws are my weapon” reflects a concept that’s long been considered classic in the world of art. Some songs feel as if they were made by someone just going through the motions of daily work—showing no sign of anything beyond routine—yet they shoot straight to the top of the charts upon release and stay there for over a year. But that’s their world. Because polished looks and songs rarely stand out when coming from more ordinary routes, producers will likely ponder how to weave in imperfections that draw attention.

Sumin delivered the “Eh, whatever” part with the most realism—it didn’t feel like acting.

The producer said that “I WANT IT” expresses STAYC’s attitude of continuing on diverse paths, even when things haven’t gone smoothly. The company once again observed STAYC closely this time.

The song’s highlight choreography gives off a vibe reminiscent of a bee dance.

Just like all of STAYC’s title songs, the lyrics of this song are direct. “Good thing’s we ok,” “Love me,” and “I WANT IT” are repeated. STAYC is in a good state, so they ask not to worry and to love them. They repeat that they WANT IT.

Seeun showed that “I WANT IT” is a fun and fitting song, even in spaces without a big stage or loud cheers.

In this video, Sumin is absolutely adorable—it brings to mind the image of fans being mass-produced in a factory.

The outfits in this video evoke memories of the “BEAUTIFUL MONSTER” era.

As STAYC kept making comebacks, the long-ignored haters lost their patience. They falsely accused the group’s fandom of demanding what they themselves once pushed—excluding the producer (owner) and sidelining the main vocalist. There is no greater sin that could enrage both the artist and their fans.
