"Icy" (stylized in all caps) is a song by South Korean girl group Itzy from their debut EP, titled It'z Icy. It was released by JYP Entertainment as the lead single on July 28, 2019.[1][2]

Composition

"Icy" was written by J. Y. Park and Penomeco.[3] It has been described as a "fiery and energetic summer song that promotes the quintet's passions about music."[4][5] In a showcase, Itzy described the song as an extension of the group's first record, "Dalla Dalla," sharing similar meanings but having a more festive and upbeat air.[6][7] The pre-chorus lyrics, consisting of lines such as "Icy but I'm on fire" and "Look at me, I'm not a liar," serves as the lead-up to the dynamic chorus of the song, and according to Billboard's Tamar Herman, "may as well be the girl group's anthem."[8]

Critical reception

Pop Crush included "Icy" in their best songs of 2019 list, writing that "it's a song that should sound overwhelming in theory, but instead is balanced perfectly with strong vocals, creating an effervescent dance track that empowers listeners to be confident and believe in themselves."[9]

Music video

The music video for the title track was released at midnight of the same day and accumulated 18.1 million views within 24 hours.[10] The music video was ranked at No. 7 on 2019 YouTube's Most Popular Music Video in South Korea, the group's second song to enter the list, with "Dalla Dalla" ranked in second place.[11] As of December 2019, it has over 110 million views on YouTube.[12]

Chart performance

"Icy" debuted at No. 11 of the Gaon Digital Chart, later peaking at No. 10 the second week, giving the group their second top ten song.[13][14] "Icy" also debuted at No. 2 of the Gaon Download Chart.[15] It also peaked at number 1 and 7 on the Billboard K-pop Hot 100 and World Digital Song Sales charts, respectively.[16][17]
