KATSEYE has given fans another reason to look forward to the release of its upcoming EP Wild. Alongside revealing the complete tracklist, the global girl group confirmed that member Lara Raj has taken on a songwriting and production role for one of the project’s songs, marking a creative milestone in the group’s journey. The announcement has been met with an enthusiastic response from fans, many of whom have been hoping to see members contribute more directly to KATSEYE’s music.
Set to arrive on August 14, 2026, Wild follows the group’s breakthrough success over the past year. While fans were already familiar with a few tracks from the EP, the latest reveal has shifted attention to Lara’s involvement behind the scenes.
KATSEYE shares full Wild tracklist
The upcoming EP will feature five main tracks, including the previously released singles Pinky Up, Animal, Hootie Frutti, Bel Air, and That Way. In addition, Unloveu will be available as a Target-exclusive bonus track, giving collectors another incentive to pick up the physical edition.
Announcing the release on Instagram, KATSEYE wrote, “EYEKONS, meet the member versions of WILD!! pre-order @katseyeworld’s new EP on exclusive CD & vinyl now, only at @target!! we’ve been waiting to tell you this one, EYEKONS!!

The announcement quickly spread across social media, with fans celebrating both the new music and the group’s continued creative growth ahead of the EP’s release.
Lara Raj opens up about writing Unloveu
Lara later shared a personal message with fans, revealing that Unloveu is the first KATSEYE song she has both co-written and co-produced. She expressed her excitement about finally being able to share that side of her artistry with listeners.
“I know that you guys have been asking and waiting for a song written and produced by one of us, so I really, really hope that you love it,” Lara said.
The track was created alongside acclaimed songwriters Amy Allen and Ross Golan. Allen has written hits for artists including Sabrina Carpenter, Harry Styles, and Justin Bieber, while Golan has collaborated with Selena Gomez, Ariana Grande, and Maroon 5. Their involvement adds another experienced creative team to KATSEYE’s growing catalogue while also giving Lara the opportunity to contribute as both a performer and songwriter.
Fans flooded the group’s social media pages with congratulatory messages, with many saying they were especially excited to hear a song that features one of the members’ own creative vision.
Wild follows KATSEYE’s biggest chart success
Wild arrives after the strong commercial performance of KATSEYE’s previous EP, Beautiful Chaos, which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. The release became the group’s first Top 10 entry on the chart and helped establish KATSEYE as one of the fastest-rising global girl groups.
Since then, the group has continued building momentum through new music, international performances and a rapidly expanding fanbase known as EYEKONS. Expectations for Wild have steadily grown, particularly after the release of Pinky Up and Animal, both of which generated strong online engagement.
With Lara Raj stepping into a songwriting and production role for the first time, Wild promises to showcase not only KATSEYE’s evolving sound but also the members’ growing creative involvement. As the countdown to August 14 continues, fans are eager to hear how Unloveu and the rest of the EP shape the next chapter in the group’s career.
