KATSEYE turns up the energy with “PINKY UP,” an upbeat hyperpop and techno-pop track that combines rave-inspired production with the group’s playful attitude. Released on April 9, 2026, the song serves as the lead single from their third EP, WILD.
The song’s message is just as energetic as its production. KATSEYE encourages listeners to hold on to their carefree side and enjoy life with the people closest to them, even when everything around them feels uncertain.
The title also plays with the traditional gesture of raising the pinky finger, once associated with formal manners and etiquette. KATSEYE gives that familiar gesture a new meaning, turning it into a playful expression of confidence, freedom, and friendship.
The accompanying music video matches the track’s fast-paced character with bold visuals and sharp choreography. The members move through energetic performance sequences that complement the song’s electronic production and reinforce its youthful personality.
As the opening statement for WILD, “PINKY UP” sets an energetic tone for the EP. Its combination of hyperpop intensity, techno influences, playful lyrics, and dance-focused performance makes it a strong introduction to KATSEYE’s latest era.
