KATSEYE releases 'Animal' single with Demi Moore cameo

KATSEYE, the HYBE x Geffen global girl group, released the pop single “Animal” on 24 July 2026. The track was co‑written by Ed Sheeran and produced by Omer Fedi and Blake Slatkin. It will appear on the upcoming five‑track EP Wild, scheduled for release on 14 August 2026, following the earlier single “Pinky Up”.

The official music video, directed by Cody Critcheloe, features a cameo by Oscar‑nominated actress Demi Moore, who appears in a dressing‑room scene offering styling advice and delivering the line “Alright, let’s get wild.” The video alternates between office‑style settings and a red‑lit performance space, visualizing the song’s theme of the contrast between a polished public image and a freer, instinctive side.

The release sparked mixed reactions; some fans praised the collaboration and choreography while others criticized the video’s revealing costumes, arguing the group’s young audience may be over‑sexualized. The single’s launch coincides with promotion for the “Wildworld” tour, which begins in September 2026 and will visit venues across North America and Europe.
