KATSEYE Announces 'Animal' Single Featuring Ed Sheeran

Global girl group KATSEYE, formed through a joint venture between HYBE Labels and Geffen Records, will release the single “Animal” on July 24, 2026. The track, described as hard‑hitting with an intense beat and provocative lyrics, is the lead release for the group’s upcoming third EP “WILD,” scheduled for August 14, 2026. A music‑video teaser shows a spy‑inspired concept with sleek office attire and red‑black shadows.

English singer‑songwriter Ed Sheeran is credited as a co‑composer on “Animal,” adding his pop‑songwriting pedigree to the project. The collaboration follows previous informal interactions between Sheeran and KATSEYE. The single’s release follows the group’s recent milestones, including charting on Billboard’s Hot 100, winning three American Music Awards, and earning Grammy nominations. KATSEYE will promote the EP with a world tour spanning North America and Europe.
