ITZY charges out of the shadows with TUNNEL VISION, their sleek mini-album hitting today via JYP Entertainment, and Flicker catches that unsteady glow in the pitch black, a reminder to roll the dice and let your inner fire pop even when everything feels like it’s fading fast.
The girls have always owned that fierce self-assurance, but Flicker dials it down to something more intimate. It’s track four on the six-song set, with lyrics by Yoo Ji-sang that paint persistence as this fragile flame in the dust—dreams slipping away, paths getting lost, but you keep pushing to shine brighter. The sound leans into their K-pop edge with glitchy electronic pulses and a building synth drop that mirrors the on-and-off flicker, blending trap-infused beats with those soaring vocal harmonies the members layered in during fun recording sessions, as Chaeryeong shared on Bubble. It’s less about all-out dance-floor domination and more a quiet nudge toward resilience, fitting right into the album’s vibe of laser-focused drive amid uncertainty.
TUNNEL VISION isn’t just a comeback; it’s ITZY narrowing their gaze on what’s ahead after five months away. The title track leads with high-energy club hooks, but the full arc shifts from the quick-hit FOCUS opener to dreamy Nocturne and pixelated 8-BIT HEART closer, all clocking under 20 minutes of tight, replayable pop. No big collabs here, just the five of them owning every corner, from DYT’s bold swagger to this one’s subtle spark. The concept screams determination—tunnel vision as that unblinking push forward, wrapped in visuals of blurred lights and sharp silhouettes that amp up their performance game.
This drop lands ITZY in a strong spot, building straight off Girls Will Be Girls with eyes on wrapping the year in award-show fire. They’ve grown from rookie rebels into this polished force, trading some early bombast for tracks that hit deeper without losing the edge—proof they’re not just surviving the spotlight but redefining it on their terms.

Lyrics of Flicker by ITZY
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, 길을 잃어버린 그 순간
Ooh, 희미하게 빛이 번져가
Night Is Getting Darker, But I’m Heading Farther
쉽진 않아도 (Ready To Go)
[Chorus]
Cast, Roll The Dice
본능을 따라 가볼게
나를 부르는 신호
It’s Just Been Flicker, Flicker On And Off
[Refrain]
Looks Like A Dot, Dot, Dot, 흐릿해도
Tap, Tap, Tap, 더 커질 걸
Ta-da, Like A Flicker In The Night
걸어봐, 다, 다, 다, 내 모든 것
이것쯤은 I Never Mind
On And Off Like Flicker
Da-da-da-da-da
It’s Coming Like This
[Verse 2]
Hide And Seek
아주 긴 술래잡기
가까워질 듯 말듯이
아득한 걸
한참을 달려봐도 모자라
허나 될 때까지 Do My Best
I’ll Be Right There, Right Back (Hey, Yo)
Look At Me And Show You How Much I Keep Trying
[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, 길을 잃어버린 그 순간
Ooh, 희미하게 빛이 번져가
Night Is Getting Darker, Now I’m Stepping Stronger
쉽진 않아도 (Ready To Go)
[Chorus]
Cast, Roll The Dice
본능을 따라 가볼게
나를 부르는 신호
It’s Just Been Flicker, Flicker On And Off (On And Off)
[Bridge]
Tell Me It’s True, 또렷한 Flame In The Dust 이젠
뻗으면 닿을 듯해
두 눈이 부시지, So I Grab It With My Fist
How Would I Even Know If It’s Real?
[Refrain]
Dot, Dot, Dot, 흐릿해도
Tap, Tap, Tap, 더 커질 걸
Ta-da, Like A Flicker In The Night
밝게 비추는 신호, It’s Just Been Flicker, Flicker On And Off
