Girl group KISS OF LIFE (Jully, Natty, Belle, HaSeul) directly shared their thoughts on aiming for a second consecutive summer hit with "SWEAT," following the success of "Sticky."

Kiss of Life held an interview with StarNews at a cafe in Sinsa-dong, Seoul, on July 29, sharing their ambitions to launch new album activities and discussing various other topics directly.

Kiss of Life is scheduled to release its third single, "SWEAT," through major online music platforms at 6 p.m. on the 4th.

The title track 'SWEAT' is an Afro-house-based number combining electronic pop and Latin rhythms. It sensibly captures the heat of the season, rhythmic energy, and the tension of a moment when eyes meet. On top of heavy and sensual beats, the members' soft and charming voices harmonize, previewing Kiss of Life's unique summer sensibility and intense addictiveness.

The track "WHAT!" expresses the members' confident energy in a direct and free atmosphere.

First, on this day, Kiss of Life said about 'SWEAT', "It contains a deep message, not just meaning that we sweat because it's hot in summer. We wanted to emphasize that everyone works hard while sweating, and it aligned with the confident message we convey," adding, "We came back quickly because we couldn't miss this summer."

He added, "I wanted to show a new key-off again this time," and noted that "the performance arrangement will also be a highlight. It features dance moves of easy difficulty. The sight of dancing barefoot on the sand, among other elements, should be enjoyable to watch."

Kiss of Life said, "We premiered it at Waterbomb, and the fans were extremely surprised and showed a great response, which further raised expectations for our comeback activities." They added, "After listening to 'SWEAT' together, we unanimously decided to select it as our comeback title track because it fits us perfectly, sounds amazing, has a hip genre, and matches our keywords."

"We had to consider the realistic aspects while listening to the modulation part of this song, as it was before its release, so we were quite concerned about it. However, in the end, we decided to proceed with the modulation because I felt that nowadays, a wide variety of music is being released, and many senior and junior artists are making diverse and cool new attempts. We thought that if we also take on this new challenge, listeners would feel a sense of freshness." (Bel)

"In fact, as we went through trainee periods and came to this stage from various backgrounds, we put in a lot of effort and endured many hardships. At every moment, there was something we kept repeating in our minds: 'We also wanted to appear perfect on the outside, and we also wanted to be too perfect.' I think that's what resonated with everyone. We, too, were imperfect but wanted to show only a perfect image, and overall, we wanted to convey that even those imperfections are beautiful." (Julie)

Julie continued, "Although 'Sticky' received so much love and attention, which made me feel some pressure for the next comeback, I was so confident in this song 'SWEAT' just as I was with 'Sticky.' So, I prepared by trying to enjoy the stage as fun as possible, just like with 'Sticky,' believing that the public would come to recognize it. I focused on immersing myself in the song while minimizing pressure and having fun."
