Nocturne Lyrics – ITZY | from “TUNNEL VISION”

ITZY dives headfirst into that hazy midnight pull with Nocturne, the dreamy B-side on their sharp new mini-album Tunnel Vision, dropping November 10, 2025 at 6 PM KST via JYP Entertainment, and it wraps around you like a half-remembered dream you don’t quite want to wake from.

You’ve got to love how ITZY keeps evolving their sound, blending that fierce girl-crush energy with moments of quiet introspection, and Nocturne nails the softer side. It’s got this ethereal K-pop glow, starting with those sparse synths and whispered vocals that build into a swirling chorus, mixing Korean lines about silence and sweet voices with English hooks that echo the urge to break free. Thematically, it’s all about that liminal space—feeling the silence hit, questioning who’s really there, and wrestling with whether to stay lost in the fantasy or grab hold of something real.

Think Wake Up’s restless vibe but slower, more seductive, like the girls are luring you into their tunnel of self-doubt and desire. They teased it in the album spoiler clips last month, with Yeji’s ad-libs cutting through the fog, and fans have been buzzing about how it flips the EP’s bolder edges into something almost haunting.

Tunnel Vision isn’t just a comeback; it’s ITZY locking in on that forward gaze after five months since Born to Be, a six-track punch that sharpens their edge without losing the fun. The title cut leads with high-octane trap-pop about zeroing in on your path, then it tunnels through FOCUS’s motivational drive, DYT’s flirty bounce, Flicker’s glitchy spark, this dreamy Nocturne at track five, and 8-BIT HEART’s retro closer that feels like a pixelated heartbeat. The whole EP clocks around 18 minutes, orbiting themes of clarity amid chaos, with no big collabs but plenty of their signature choreo teases already lighting up TikTok.

The girls are in this killer groove right now, fresh off sold-out world tours and that empowering Born to Be era that proved they’re built for the long haul. At six years in, Tunnel Vision shows them owning the narrative, trading some rookie fire for a more nuanced bite that still screams confidence.

X is already on fire with spoiler reactions, folks calling Nocturne the sleeper that sneaks up on you, stacking it against their old ballads for that unexpected depth. If the title track sets the pace, this one’s the echo that stays.
