It follows their grungy hyperpop track \u201cPinky Up\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The girls individually originate from various parts of the world. And in \u201cAnimal\u201d, the global group speaks a kind of love language anyone can understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You\u2019re the Boss, You Run the Circus, Baby<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"KATSEYE (\ucea3\uce20\uc544\uc774) &quot;Animal&quot; Official MV\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m7k9UMcHbr0?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Katseye\u2019s flirty track was co-written with Ed Sheeran. It echoes the primal sentiment in Sheeran\u2019s 2017 hit, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.songfacts.com\/facts\/ed-sheeran\/shape-of-you\">\u201cShape Of You\u201d<\/a>. And in the opening verse, you can imagine the narrator singing this as she readies herself in front of the mirror.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You\u2019re the boss. You run the circus, baby. But let\u2019s ditch shy refinement and calendars; tonight we are free from day jobs and deadlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You\u2019re the boss, you run the circus, baby,<br>Take it up a notch, you\u2019re so sophisticated,<br>Don\u2019t wanna be on a schedule, you\u2019re on your own time.<br>Off the scale that goes from hot to crazy,<br>Fingernails, one, two, three colors painted,<br>Crop top and baggy jeans holding your waistline<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And the girls\u2019 stacked vocals give the tune a more communal party vibe than intimate communique. Sheeran\u2019s instinct for writing childlike hooks helps transform \u201cAnimal\u201d into an adult lullaby, though one bowdlerized enough for mass appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>You make the light and the shadows collide,<br>Your body gets twisted and tangled in mine.<br>Love so good, how could this be free?<br>I keep your secret safe with me<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>You Move Like an Animal<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>One can see \u201cAnimal\u201d competing for catchy song of the summer. Sheeran\u2019s clean folk-pop softens the horny edges, giving Katseye\u2019s tune a universal appeal that lands comfortably in a grocery store as well as the unhinged party on the dance floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Nobody knows you\u2019re out of control,<br>But I see a side behind the closed doors.<br>They get a glimpse here on the dance floor,<br>You move like an animal.<br>Nobody knows you\u2019re out of control,<br>But I see a side behind the closed doors.<br>They get a glimpse here on the dance floor,<br>You move like an animal<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Photo by Francis Specker\/CBS via Getty Images<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cAnimal\u201d, the latest single from Katseye, precedes the Los Angeles girl group\u2019s upcoming EP, &#8216;Wild&#8217;.
