KATSEYE, PINKY UP [📷: HYBE UMG LLC]Los Angeles-based girl group KATSEYE drops another irresistible pop single with the carefree, up-tempo “PINKY UP.”

“One day soon, the world’s gonna end.”
True dat, Megan Skiendiel! The KATSEYE vocalist adds, “I’m gonna make out with my new bestest friends / I wanna live large, right before it all burns down.”  Um, sure – you do you, boo!  The carefree lyrics appear in the pop group’s single, “PINKY UP”. “PINKY UP” was written by Sorana, dwilly, Justin Tranter, Skyler Stonestreet, and Magsy. dwilly, “hitman” Bang, and FRANTS produced it.

Lara performs the introduction on “Pink Up,” which precedes the simple but infectious chorus: “Pinky up, up / Pink up, up /… Put this pinky up.” Woo! Different members of the group perform the unforgettable refrain throughout.  Megan, Daniela Avanzini, and Yoonchae Jeung perform the first verse, which features an  unforgettable lyric by Daniela: “Go hard like we’re robbin’ the Louvre.” I felt that! Lara, Sophia Laforteza, and Megan perform the first pre-chorus. Later, four members of KATSEYE see action in the unapologetic second verse.  “Us against the world, shaking ass in the parking lot,” Daniela asserts, and continues, “If we get arrested, haha, baby, laugh it off.” Yoonchae and Megan get philosophical – it’s giving Socrates! “PINKY UP” should not be overanalyzed, though.  This is a brief, energetic, and highly enjoyable electro-pop joint.  It slaps thanks to its vibrant production, quick pace, energetic vocals, tuneful melodies, and carefree theme and lyrics.
