SEOUL, July 02 (AJP) - K-pop girl group i-dle will release its ninth EP, "We made," on July 6, led by the summer single "Gimme Dat Love," the group's agency Cube Entertainment said Thursday.

The five-track EP will arrive on major streaming platforms at 6 p.m. Monday. It includes the title track, pre-release single "Crow," "Mono" featuring British artist skaiwater, "Morning" and "Love Is Pain."

"Gimme Dat Love" is a pop track built around a whistle melody and tropical beat. The song deals with instinctive attraction and the rush of falling for someone, according to the agency.

The track was produced with contributions from Daramola and Samantha Cámara, producers active in the global Latin music scene.

Cube released the second music video teaser for "Gimme Dat Love" on Thursday through i-dle's official social media channels. The teaser follows an earlier video that offered the first look at the song's choreography.

The agency also released a second set of concept photos Wednesday, showing the five members in a gold-toned sunset setting as part of the album's summer theme.

The first teaser for "Gimme Dat Love" ranked fifth on QQ Music's Korean music video chart and 18th on its overall music video chart after its release, according to Cube.
