KATSEYE is stepping into a new chapter with “Hootie Frutti,” the charming title track from their third EP, WILD. The vibrant pop record was released on August 14, 2026, alongside its official music video.
The song has been building anticipation long before its title was formally revealed. Fans began connecting clues as early as April 2026, when “KATSFRUT” appeared on a license plate in the music video for KATSEYE’s earlier release “PINKY UP.” The discovery sparked speculation about what would eventually become one of the key songs of the group’s next era.
As the third track and official title song on WILD, “Hootie Frutti” holds an important place in the project’s tracklist. Its colorful pop direction, energetic rhythm, and international character align naturally with KATSEYE’s global approach to music and performance.
The release promises an upbeat mix of pop energy, dance-ready rhythms, and the playful personality that continues to shape KATSEYE’s evolving sound.
