I love

i-dle's fifth EP, released on 17 October 2022 as (G)I-DLE, with the title track 'Nxde'.

Artist: i-dle
Released: 17 October 2022
Type: Mini album
Concept: The album introduction describes 'I love' as an album carrying the resolve to exist as one's own self rather than as the self someone else wants. The same text presents the title track 'Nxde' as 'a song in the alternative pop genre' that borrows the melody of the aria 'Habanera' from the opera 'Carmen', and that uses the word nude as a figure for a person's unadorned self.

The record

I love is i-dle’s fifth EP, released on 17 October 2022 as (G)I-DLE, with six tracks the members wrote and composed themselves. The album introduction sets self-love and authenticity as its theme, and the title track ‘Nxde’ borrows from Bizet’s ‘Habanera’, using nudity as a metaphor for being unadorned.
