(G)i-dle releases third EP, I Trust

The popular South Korean girl group recently dropped the follow-up to I Made, their second EP—together with the the music video for title track, Oh My God (released on 6 April 2020; it currently has more than 45 million views on YouTube).

Oh My God is a song about the realisation that trusting oneself is necessary after feelings of denial, confusion, acceptance, and confidence, colliding with reality. One of the most impressive aspects about G(i)-dle is that every comeback of theirs is different. The urban hip hop track succeeds other hits such as Hann, Senorita, Lion, and Uh-Oh.

Released by Cube Entertainment, I Trust consists of five songs—including an English version of Oh My God. One of the members, Soyeon, participated in the writing and producing of all the tracks. You can listen to the EP here.
