Global K-pop sensation i-dle have officially kicked off a new chapter with the release of their latest single, ‘Crow’, a powerful and emotionally charged track that serves as the first preview of their forthcoming mini album, We made, set for release on 6 July 2026.
Released via CUBE Entertainment, ‘Crow’ showcases the group’s signature confidence while introducing a heavier rock-inspired sound driven by soaring guitars, anthemic production and lyrics centred around resilience, ambition and self-belief.
A Rock-Infused Anthem About Independence
‘Crow’ sees the five-member group embracing themes of self-determination and perseverance. Rather than relying on luck or fate, the song’s message focuses on carving out your own path and remaining steadfast in the face of adversity.
The track marks the beginning of the promotional campaign for We made, the group’s ninth mini album, which will arrive on 6 July. The project follows the success of their 2025 release We are and continues the creative direction that has made i-dle one of the most influential self-producing acts in K-pop.
Building Momentum Ahead of Lollapalooza
The release arrives during a landmark year for i-dle. The group is preparing for a major appearance at Lollapalooza this summer, one of their biggest U.S. performances to date.
Recent months have seen the group continue expanding their international profile following the release of ‘Mono’. They have also attracted widespread attention through high-profile media appearances and growing recognition across North America.
Meanwhile, ‘Crow’ has already begun making an impact internationally, reportedly charting across multiple territories shortly after release while its music video gained significant traction on YouTube’s trending charts.
A Group Redefining Modern K-pop
Since debuting in 2018 with breakthrough single ‘LATATA’, i-dle have consistently challenged industry conventions by taking an active role in songwriting, production and creative direction.
Comprised of Miyeon, Minnie, Soyeon, Yuqi and Shuhua, the group has amassed millions of fans worldwide while achieving multiple chart-topping releases and record-breaking sales.
Their catalogue includes numerous No.1 albums in South Korea, several top ten entries on the Billboard World Albums Chart and a string of major music industry awards. Their 2024 album 2 surpassed one million sales within days of release, cementing their position among K-pop’s most successful girl groups.
Today, i-dle continue to push boundaries through their music, world tours and creative independence, earning praise from international publications including PAPER, Billboard, Teen Vogue and GRAMMY.com.
What’s Next for i-dle?
With the release of ‘Crow’, anticipation is building rapidly for We made, which promises to showcase the next evolution of the group’s sound and artistic identity.
Alongside the album launch, i-dle are also continuing their fourth world tour, ‘Syncopation’, while expanding their presence across global music festivals and international markets.
