i-dle’s “Gimme Dat Love” Leads New EP “We made” With Summer Comeback

i-dle released its ninth EP, “We made,” on July 6, 2026, with “Gimme Dat Love” serving as the lead track for the group’s summer comeback. The release places the i-dle We Made project at the center of a new promotional cycle that includes a Seoul showcase, an official music video from Cube Entertainment, and a scheduled appearance at Lollapalooza Chicago on July 31.¹

The comeback follows “Mono (Feat. skaiwater),” which was released in January, and arrives as the group’s first new release in six months. Reports from the July 6 showcase described “Gimme Dat Love” as a summer song built around a whistle melody, tropical or Latin-pop elements, and a theme of strong mutual attraction.¹²

“Gimme Dat Love” Sets The Sound Of “We made”

“Gimme Dat Love” is presented as the title track of “We made,” a five-track EP that continues i-dle’s post-rebranding album direction. The song has been described as a tropical, whistle-led summer track about magnetic attraction, while other reports characterized it as a Latin-pop-based summer love song.¹³

Daramola and Samantha Cámara are among the credited contributors to the title track, with multiple reports identifying their involvement in the song’s production.⁴⁵ Maeil Business Newspaper reported from the July 6 showcase at Yes24 Live Hall that the track depicts a thirst-like moment of intense mutual attraction, while MoneyToday’s IZE report said the music video carries a message of respect for all love.⁵³

At the media showcase, Miyeon framed the song as a hotter seasonal return, saying, “We’re returning with a summer song for the first time in a while, but this one feels hotter — like fighting heat with heat.”¹ The comment aligns with how the track was introduced across Korean and English-language coverage: as a summer comeback song with a direct, heat-focused concept rather than a ballad or subdued seasonal release.

Cube Entertainment’s official video page lists i-dle’s “Gimme Dat Love” official music video among the agency’s current releases, and the official upload identifies it as the music video for the ninth mini album “We made.”⁶ The official video exists as the rights-holder release for the comeback’s main visual asset, though the comeback reporting focuses primarily on the EP’s release, track list, showcase comments, and upcoming festival schedule.

Key Facts About i-dle’s “We made” Comeback

Aju Press reported before the release that Cube Entertainment had set July 6 at 6 p.m. KST for the issue of “We made,” led by “Gimme Dat Love.” The same report identified the five core tracks as “Gimme Dat Love,” “Crow,” “Mono” featuring skaiwater, “Morning” and “Love Is Pain.”⁴

The Korea Times also listed “Mono (feat. skaiwater),” “Crow,” “Morning” and Yuqi-written “Love Is Pain” among the album’s tracks.² Maeil Business Newspaper separately reported the inclusion of “Mono (Feat. skaiwater),” “Crow,” “Morning,” “Love Is Pain” and a CD-only mono version of “Mono.”⁵

The album’s sequencing also connects to the group’s wider naming direction. At the press event, Soyeon said, “‘We made’ continues the ‘We’ series that began with ‘We are’ after our rebranding, following the ‘I’ series from our early days.”² The remark places the new EP inside a stated discography framework rather than presenting it as an isolated one-off release.

Showcase Context And Lollapalooza Schedule

The July 6 showcase in Seoul served as the main media setting for the comeback. Yonhap News Agency reported that i-dle discussed the album at a media showcase in Seoul, while Maeil Business Newspaper identified the venue as Yes24 Live Hall.¹⁵

Beyond domestic promotion, the group is scheduled to perform at Lollapalooza Chicago on July 31. Yonhap and The Korea Times both reported the July 31 festival plan, and MoneyToday’s IZE also noted the Lollapalooza schedule while referencing the group’s world tour milestones, including Taipei Dome and Hong Kong Kai Tak Stadium shows.¹²³

Minnie described the festival booking as significant, saying, “It’s a joy and an honor to join such a huge, famous festival.”² The comment was made in the context of the group’s upcoming Lollapalooza appearance, which comes less than a month after the release of “We made.”

With “Gimme Dat Love,” i-dle has positioned “We made” as a summer-focused comeback led by a whistle-driven Latin-pop title track and supported by a concise five-song EP. The confirmed release date, showcase reporting, official video listing, and July 31 Lollapalooza schedule give the comeback a clear timeline from domestic launch to an international festival stage.
